| There is something about certain P words. I had a boss who took so much delight in saying "grand pooba" I half expected her to do a chef's kiss at the same time. Seemed like a daily thing with her, but that might just be faulty memory. Still, not a week would go by without her saying it. M... |

| There's a lengthy discussion to be had about why exactly that is, but maybe at another time, in another thread. It sure doesn't say much for society though, how many cases there are and continue to be, of rape, attempted rape, and spousal abuse. There also seems to be a disconnect between the narrat... |

| According to one review, all parts of the app are accessible free of charge. The one downside mentioned had to do with fewer people nearby to interact with, but that could vary of course, depending on your location or ability/willingness to travel. |

| However cliché, it's important to remember that what people do/say to you is a reflection of their worth, not your own. In any case, it definitely helps to find a creative or physical outlet as a means to counteract memories of abuse. The experiences might be trash, but they can be recycled or at le... |

IIRC in one instance the fronts of certain types of trains or monorails were redesigned, their shape made to resemble the beak of a kingfisher which significantly reduced noise pollution when exiting tunnels and had other benefits... |

| It will vary from state to state, but in New York I had no out of pocket expenses thanks to Medicaid (Fidelis). However, I was also able to verify at least one instance of childhood injury likely resulting from poor motor skills, and that seemed to help move the initial process along before testing ... |
