I wanted to check in and see how those of you who live in Hawaii are doing. I’m not sure which islands you are on. Not Maui, I hope.

The ACLU has been trying to persuade companies to give non-violent felons or those with non-violent criminal records a chance at being gainfully employed. You may want to recommend to adult children who have a record. I was very surprised at what I found. I think it’s time companies start...

I'm so exhausted from the death of my mom. It's been eight months, but I just cannot get myself together. I'm seeing a therapist and taking medications. I'm trying to eat more, but cannot sleep. What do you all do to practice self care when you get depressed or exhausted? I'm so drained and weak that I...

My mom is hospitalized with COVID. Things were going great. They were weaning her off the ventilator. Now, she has pneumonia again and may die. I'm scared. .

Do any of you have Chaco sandals? Do you all think Chaco sandals are worth the money? Are they comfortable? My chiropractor says they are the best thing for bad knees and hips. I spent $90 on Keen, and he said they aren't good enough!

Has anyone on this forum had trouble with the hip or hip surgury? What was the outcome?

I'm concerned about B's mom. She hasn't posted in a long time. If I recall, it was her 8-year old son who made up a song about wanting to kill her, and sang it to her at the grocery store. I don't know how to message her. I hope she and the baby are OK.

Somebody needs to instant message Beta to make sure she's safe. I don't know how to instant message her. After what happened in my town, I guess I'm a little concerned that we haven't heard from her in 2-3 days. She mentioned her other son would be in town, so maybe she's just busy.

Have any of you or anyone in your family had a cough that Won't go away, and it's been nearly a month? A wet cough that goes and goes and makes you feel like you're going to suffocate. I'm so sore and exhausted from coughing. I just finished my antibiotic. Maybe I need to get it refilled. I'm...

I'm curious as to everyone else's opinion on why drug use has gotten so bad in the past few decades. Pot, heroin, peragoric, crystal meth, and LSD were all legal back in the old days. Codeine and laudunim were over the counter when our great grandparents lived. But, there weren't high rates of...

I wanted to share something that happened in my town, not to frighten any of you, but so you can be prepared for the worst and have a police officer in the home when you break this news to your adult child. This is probably too gory to describe, but I care about the safety of each of you...

I was getting concerned about my fourteen year old son. School and all his activities got canceled because we've had devastating flooding here for over a week. When he isn't busy, he gets depressed, has panic attacks, and a nuclear meltdown. There just wasn't anything he could do except study...

I have so many mixed feelings about this. Since my son was a little kid, I made him do volunteer work because I wanted him to learn compassion and empathy. I think it might have backfired. He's a little too compassionate, I've decided. So compassionate that he would lie. He insists this wasn't...

A few months ago, my fourteen year old son, who had volunteered at the homeless shelter for years, was told by the staff not to return until he is eighteen. I thought it was just because of a new policy. Yesterday my son was really down in the dumps about it. He said he doesn't think it was...

On New Year's Eve my son went to a slumber party. There were ten guys and about nine-ten girls, all middle school age. It was supervised, of course. This isn't extremely uncommon nowadays. My parents think it was disgraceful that I allowed my son to go. What do you all think?

How old were you all when you started getting body aches from house cleaning? I am 44 years old and feel like I am too young to have this much aching just from cleaning house. I first noticed this problem when I was in my late thirties, but now if I clean house, I hurt so badly I cannot even...

I'm beginning to wonder if there is any end to this. Four weeks ago I was diagnosed with the flu and a sinus infection. The flu symptoms are gone, but this sinus infection won't let up. I started my second round of antibiotics yesterday. I have missed so much work and have never been sick this...

My 13-year old son was doing jumping stunts on the stairs again and broke his ankle. He didn't have one of his shoes tied and sort of fell out of his shoe. When the doctor prescribed pain pills, I explained that my son was born addicted to cocaine and has a genetic predisposition to drug...

About a month ago, two young women went missing from my city. One of them called her parents crying hysterically saying she was in another state and about to check into alcohol rehab. Because her parents heard a man in the background telling her what to say, they thought she had been kidnapped...

Phenibut isn't really a new drug. It is an old one making a comeback. A girl in my class was absent today with vomiting and dizziness. Phenibut is legal and doesn't require a prescription. It has a long half-life and can take days to get out of the system. It is highly addictive. At first, the...
