I am so afraid I'll get very nervous on a date, either my face will be beet red, or I'll feel spacey or something, and then just look so strange or like an idiot, turning someone off. I even have a fear of becoming nervous in front of other people like long lost friends.. I'm afraid that I'll become disoriented or something, even though I never really have (only heart palp)... any advice welcome..

Belittling, cruelty, hitting, screaming and mocking were daily/weekly life. This was all done mainly by a manic and borderline psychotic mother who I've debated calling police on. I am living with my 'parents' still due to finances and my anxiety I've had the last several years; many days I feel I don't even deserve joy, love or I feel nonexistent. My father recently assaulted me after defending my mom and her harsh cruel words again.. he hit me several times, and I know I could have reported him, but didn't. I need a steady full time job to get out, and until I get that, do I even speak to him? It pains me even to say hi, knowing he could give a CRAP less about any thing I've gone through and gets away with his actions for years (alcoholic too). When I get out, I have no other person in my fam. who could financially help me in a bind if I needed.. do I stay in ... less

So please tell me, what have you read of Hemingway, what is your impression of him, his writing?

Since I am still capable of posting this topic you can work out what I did, but what would YOU do?

If men are able to walk around topless, shouldn't women have the same prerogative?Are these nothing but a bunch of women with nothing better to do than to fight for their right to show their nipples?If so, why did the courts indulge them on their bouncy shenanigans?What do you think?

Are the Pols that obtusely removed from the reality of their circumstances? Do they not KNOW for whom they work? It is WE THE PEOPLE not the President. Because the president WORKS FOR US TOO. He is nothing more than another employee. SIGH. Why do some seem so oblivious to that fact?

Don't know how many there will be but for the rest of us identifying them is a good thing. That way all the birds of a feather can flock together and all the other birds of different feathers can live together in peace and harmony and tranquility! Brilliant plan. What took so long?
So when you become very impatient with someone who seems to be "slow" just remember others think that about you about when you are in a area that doesn't come easy to you. Do you?
