| I have a cat, but the litter dust bothers me sometimes. Especially when kicked up by my cat, or when the LitterRobot runs. Even when the litter is scentless, it bothers me. Any ideas to mitigate this? Do you know if I put the LitterRobot 4 in a bigger box (with a hole cut in it for my cat) that it w... |

| I'm still a practicing Mormon. There has never been a prohibition on chocolate. The idea that the church tried to ban chocolate is likely bunk then. Coffee and tea, sure. Many members used to think (mistakenly) that caffeine was prohibited, but leaders in recent years said they were mistaken. Side n... |

| No. In some cases you can make it work. I have some relatives that have large age gaps. My uncle is 10 years older than my aunt. And they have been together for ~20 years. |

| This is messed up. So children of the undocumented or those that are undocumented as children won't go to school because of fear of being arrested. The undocumented won't go to the hospital because of fear of being arrested by ICE. This will be bad for them. What I also find disgusting is that ICE w... |

| I'm trying to save money, but some ideas for saving money pose some dilemmas. I have ADHD and autism. I could get a roommate to save on rent, but that comes all the usual problems with having a roommate. The dilemma is, I probably wouldn't be a good roommate, because I have trouble keeping up with c... |

| I’m planning on retaking the general GRE to try to get a higher score, and to try to get into graduate school. When I took the general GRE last time, I didn't get an accommodation. So I was stressed that I didn't get extra time. So I ended up not doing as well as I could have on the math section (ev... |

| Actually, I forgot there was something in the U.S. called the E.E.O.C. It probably needs to be reformed so that AS/Autism is it's own category for one. |
