Has anyone done this? It is recommended by my doc on my face to treat a dozen or more precancerous lesions. The photos on line look pretty brutal but I don’t know anyone else that had it personally. I’m curious about the pain and the visible recovery time. I have a pretty full schedule this month and not looking forward to looking like raw meat.

honest question. What will happen to special privileges bestowed upon minority groups? The sanctioned collectivism, the scholarships, the social credits, political carve outs, special spaces, parades/celebrations, anthems, extra public education dollars, awards...

Will these privileges continue when this country is Majority-Minority?

Has any one tried it? What for? Was it helpful?

My parents are in their 80’s and declining quickly. They are currently caring for my big brother (55) who after 30 years of hard drugs, alcohol, huffing, and homelessness has managed to almost completely fry his brain. He has bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, is deaf, mostly toothless and lives like a hermit in their basement. Making things more complicated, he lives in Missouri and will remain there because it is fairly generous with its benefits compared to Texas where I am.

Has anyone here ever had to manage a dependent sibling from afar? Any advice, legal, emotional, logistical or otherwise?

Lord help me I have already raised three kids and I don’t know if I have the energy for this.

Are there any nonADHD spouses out there who have created a good way to manage their ADHD spouses clutter?

My husbands method for “remembering” things is to leave stuff on counters, desks, surfaces, etc. the problem with this method is many layers build up and stuff on the bottom gets missed, goes unpaid..We had “cubby holes” built into the kitchen for mail labeled: taxes, bills, renewals, but he gets really pissed off when I file papers accordingly.

His system isn’t working for us and I refuse to live in a mess.

Just got back home from BR. Super proud of my son for slogging through some tough school years and finally earning his degree.

I was VERY lucky he was seated in the section that got called first to walk the stage. I got to hear his name called and see his image up on the big screen at PMAC. However, things got rowdy fast. Large families of 20 or 30 with motherfricking airhorns, screaming "that's my baby" for a full minute after their name was called. Then the dancing on stage, which caused a backup of the students behind them. Because there was about 30 seconds between name called and showing the name on the big screen, and no alpha order whatsoever, it created a situation where you would miss your kid walking the stage unless your eyes never left the big screen. I was seated in front of and behind two of these families. WITH AIR HORNS directly in my ear.

I think they need a "Quiet" or "Traditional" graduation ceremony, and anyone that acts like TRASH actually gets hauled off by security. How did security allow airhorns in in the first place?

My parents grew up in rural Missouri in the 1940's and 50's but to this day use terms I don't hear in the south.

For example:
Sofa= Divan
Sink= Zinc
Dinner=Supper
Soda="Sodie-Pop"
Tennis shoes=Ground Grippers

What are some words that your family uses that are outside the common vernacular?

On a scale of 1 to 10, is this a "difficult" major?

What are the math requirements?

Is it a competitive major to get into as a freshman?

Only looking to hit a handful, and only those he has a decent shot of getting into.

My son really wants to go to LSU like his big brother. We have NOT been impressed by the availability or quality of housing and counseling. Also VERY put off by the crime. (its not a normal college experience to have two close friends die violent deaths or witness shootings outside of a bar)

I'd like to show my middle son some alternatives.

He's a B student, private catholic school in Houston. Athlete and has a job. Terrible ACT scores, but we are in tutoring for that now to bring them up (think low 20's).

I've got Ole Miss, Miss State, OU, Texas Tech.. What options am I missing?

His ability to get in are absolutely pertinent to the question, but disregard financial considerations.

I'm sure this topic has been explored on OT before.

I walk an hour every morning and want some fresh stuff to listen to. While I do enjoy current events and politics, I think I may have OD'ed on this content in the past year.

I do enjoy the "did you know?" type stuff, local history, philosophy but find many of these are 15 min long and then I'm in the woods trying to find something else to listen to.

Suggestions are appreciated.
