I think if my mother acted like that I'd have to hog tie her and throw her in a closet and lock the door, how embarrassing..sorry to you women but damn! Mom can find her own man she shouldn't even try to move in on yours that is just too tacky! Bad, bad, bad mommy!
I'd bring back my grandfather, he was one of the few people whom I know loved me unconditionally and I miss his wisdom and advice! I still have wonderful memories because he was the best grandpa in the whole world! I was lucky to have him!
I don't care what age my mother would be if she ever hit on someone I was with I'd be so embarrassed. How do you deal with that? When you say she isn't old, it doesn't matter, some women could be in a coma and you put a man within 10 yards and they will role over and shave their legs...just need a pulse and a target. I'd just be mortified! Sorry you have to deal with that kind of stuff! Ridiculous!
That's not good Tiffanie......does your mother have trouble meeting men her own age? Or do the guys you hook up with have no morals? Just kind goin'.. on this one.
If someone hasn't already suggested it..unhook it and take it to Best Buy and have the Geek Squad take a peek at it. I had the same problem and all I had to do is change ports on the back. However, I still believe I've got a power cord going bad.
Being in love and being loved are wonderful feelings. To know that you have some to love and someone who loves you back is a wonderful thing. To know that you have someone to hold you near in good times and bad times, there is a secure feeling in the knowledge.
I love my life, but I also love being loved and loving back. There is no other feeling like it in the world.
Distance doesn't make really any difference, although you are far in distance you are close in spirit and heart.
Send an email telling them you love, support and cherish them. Sometimes just knowing that the person you love also feels what you feel makes a difference and that is enough to make someone feel better.
Without personally knowing the individual and the variation the disorder, I can't and won't be able to answer that question for myself. That's a whole different realm of disability that I've had no experience with...yes you are right everyone deserves to be loved and there is someone out there for everyone.
I agree with your statement wholeheartedly Racoon, but you asked me for an honest opinion and I'd say without knowing the person in question, I couldn't answer that question. That's the best I can do pal, sorry. Of course everyone wants true love, but you have posed a question that would make one question whether or not the other person would be even capable of understanding love at all. Autistic people are somewhat limited by their own mental capacity through no fault of their own, so that's why this is a trick question to me.
No your moody tonight I see!!!!!!! I am a woman of many, many words and this wasn't a topic where a simple answer would suffice! I just say the things you are thinking Mastic...lol
I don't know how to answer this question because I'm not familiar with all levels of autism. What I do know is that autism has 3 levels, low, medium and high functioning, and these are solely based upon IQ levels. Although from what I have read and studied most autistics do not function at a level high enough to understand the social and emotional aspects that come within a dating/marital relationship. Most autistics spend their lives locked within themselves and have developmental and speech impairments that do not make them capable of sustain ongoing adult relationships.
I have stated in CC's thread that I'd have no trouble dating someone with a physical disability if the feelings, chemistry and attraction is there, but with the question you have posted on this thread Racoon, I don't think there is an easy answer. In fact, I don't think anyone could effectively answer this question because autism is a mental/genetic disorder and cases and severity vary with each individual...sorry, I can't answer this one.
The surgery you are referring to is actually Endoscopic Thoracic Symapthectomy, it is most commonly used to treat palmar hyperhidrosis, "sweaty palms". This would be a last resort treatment and only for those in which this type of condition is chronic and unrelieved by all other conventional and medical treatments.
I have a preteen daughter so I am used to smelly feet, nothing that a bit of foot spray doesn't cure. Some people just have a natural tendency to be more "smelly" than others, but regular bathing and foot powders and sprays mostly eliminate the need for running from the room and reaching for clothespins.
I agree, I've become more adept at sniffing out a liar. I notice the person avoids eye contact, diverts the subject, looks off into the distance when trying to "concoct" an excuse, stutters, stammers, face gets flushed, may even start sweating, just a number of little physical signals that let me know that DING, DING, DING..I gotta liar in the midst!!!!!!
What went wrong in my marriage? I've been married one time and many things went wrong. First of all, we married way to young. Secondly there were ideas that my ex had set in his mind about what a wife is supposed to do and not do, like I wasn't supposed to have any single friends (female), he believed that married couples should have married friends, so he expected me to cut ties with all my female friends. Lastly he cheated on me with his own brothers wife, that was the ultimate kiss of death for me, we tried couples counseling to no avail, I just couldn't abide or accept a cheater back into my bed again. Once the trust was gone it was only a matter of time before the marriage went kaput! The love died along with everything else that used to be sacred between us.
How can you tell when your partner/signifigant other is lying to you? What would you do about it? Confront them or keep quiet and say nothing? Does it depend on "what" kind of lie it is?
