| No, I never developed a taste for putting stuff on my face. I don't even like the feel of moisturizers on my face, but will use it on rare occasions, when I feel it's necessary. I also don't want to spend the time, the effort, and the money on it. Also, all the face paint in the world won't make me ... |

| If someone's advances are non physical, ignore them, or in a job situation, report them to the boss or human resources. If someone gets physical, and won't stop after being told to, then you need to physically rebuff them. That's the only way to get across that "NO" means "NO" to... |

| Yes, Asperger's is part of the autism spectrum and I've suffered my whole life from each of the items you mentioned. They are common afflictions for those on the spectrum, but not everyone on the spectrum suffers from each of these items, and there are undoubtedly some on the spectrum who don't have... |

| I agree with some of the other posters that you should start with dietary changes. Also, when you are going to be out of the house for a while wear disposable incontinence undies. They are for both bladder and bowel issues. If you don't want to be seen buying them in stores, have them delivered to y... |

| I've never had problems cooking till my health went. Now my bad knees and bad back make it very painful to stand by the stove or oven to cook stuff, and then I have the same problem standing by the sink afterward to clean up the cooking mess. I have occasionally burned stuff, but usually managed to ... |

| I won't use nasal sprays. I was often sick as a kid, and early on I was sometimes treated with nasal sprays, but my fussing must have gotten thru to my parents, because they finally stopped trying nasal sprays on me. I absolutely can't stand the feeling of the stuff in the sprays hitting the back si... |

It cured the cancer, but several years ago I started having bladder problems again. I think that without the girl pa... |

I take immune boosting supplements now, and seldom get sick any more. One year, when I was in high school, my older sister brought home a series ... |

It's a handicapped accessible apartment, with grab bars in the long step-in shower, and also by the toilet. There are a number of other such features here, as well.

| There is a simple treatment for once you are starting to have a panic attack. Carry a paper lunch bag around with you, folded up in your pocket or tote bag. When a panic attack starts, and your breathing changes, open up the bag and breath into, and out of it for a short time. What many people don't... |
