And, what causes the lack of discipline and effective time management exactly?

It's like when I ask someone why won't a computer or an electrical appliance turn on someone answer's it's not receiving power. Ok duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Of course it needs to be powered to be turned on but why isn't it receiving power?

Point is your analysis of why most people don't succeed is absolutely to simplistic. Could it be that they're lazy(possible), have severe sleep apnea, severe executive dysfunction, comprehension problems, chronic fatigue, depression, other mental or physical illness, etc, etc?

...Well, KK, I assume that haircut is more a " maintainence " haircut, you've settled on a look you like and go to the same barber shop every so often & get " The usua ". I simply don't have " a normal life ", let alone a regular barbershop
Would a Super Cuts be particularly nice to someone with horrible, nearly all gone, teeth like mine ? In 2nd-hand Sally Army, mostly old T-shirts and (women's) sweatpntts/pajama bottoms? And a backpack ?







ftiekortie"]You can get a decent haircut for about 15-20 dollars.

I get one every two months for that price.

...Yesterday (Friday) I intended to both go downtown in Santa Cruand to the mall in Capitola, which are in separate directions I intended, for on,to get yet more 2nd hand clothes dowtown in SC, but I also hd to get new minutes for this phone, they will run out today (Saturday). I was unsure Heather I should get new minutes for this phone or an entirely new phone and minutes for it, as this phone, Billy, hadn't been working too well and has been irking worse. Wasteful kn but I ave knoedge or equipment to fix this with or anybody to help me .
Briefly, got started unite late and, I only went t the ma and, with my not getting things done and my vrippled-ness and the US schedule, " did " nothing, just ate mall food.
It gets Ute cold in the evenings here now, and my much-washed T-she's hve tended t a the shrink, exposing my md-section.

...I just lost a REALLY DEEP, EMOTIONAL, posting 《SOB》 .

...THREE TIMES I lost another " hurt " one ! WHY !

...I went out, to get new minutes to keep my in-bad-shape phone going - But, walking, the CHF had me to such an extent that it was like walking through solidified jelly - andkee]ing My balance and not dropping off to sleep was a problem .

...I just got myself stuck on the slick floor, unable to get up, when I got down on the floor to get something that had rolled underneath the bed . I had to call for help from staff in getting up. It's the CHF .
Even in more normal life, on the bus, getting up from a seat often takes a couple tries before I can do it. I am rather crippled you know . In the last leg of getting back here from the mall journey, I very slowly, resting a great deal, took my load uphill - and when someone wearing thong sandals went by me I thought about how I couldn't wear them anymore .

Have you ever been tested for sleep apnea? It can make you sleepy even when you think you are rested and have spent a long time asleep. If you are overweight its a good chance you have it. In essence you stop breathing for short spells, wake up and start breathing over and over all night so you don’t have a restful sleep.

...It's a thought, thank you, buy the troublrle is more when I'm outside, in the real world, not bed.

I have sleep apnea and before it was diagnosed I was falling asleep whenever I sat still - at my desk, riding in the car and I would have problems thinking clearly. The hard part is that you have to sleep with a mask on attached to a C-Pap machine forcing you to breathe steadily.

...Another physical problem of mine is the COPD cougig - which I do several times a day usually when I lie down or I have been down for a few hours. The dementia'd roommate says nasty, threatening, things to me about it.
I've been here for months now - There's no sign of anywhere else for me to go to, though I also don't know where I'd go to .

...I've been here for months now. It has allowed me to have my foot get better...but what do I do after that? This place ha it's disadvatages...and hat would I do when my foot gets better? Stay here the rest of my life ? I don't think that could be paid for anywau...
I had rather pictured any " going on to greater things " as involving going to school, as dO never did get to.do at the " proper " age
...But, hey, Om and DE say that I should not...mybe they're right

...Recentlt, I was about 240 pounds weighed, now, when I was weighed today, I am about 280 pounds ! I must be ballooning water weight again! I was up to as much as 325 pounds in the ast. This place isn't real efficient, a f**k-up happened and the appointment I was supposed to have at the podiatltrist didn't happen and staff here is tending toward disbelieving me regarding the reality of my COPD coughing .

Hi, ASS-P

I didn't read your whole thread, just the first post in it, so I'm sorry if I mention something someone else already did.

You said you were interested in college/university.

I once got some college credits through the CLEP (college level examination program), and thought you might be interested in that. When I did it, you had to take the exam at the college, but you studied on your own, so you only need to go to the college for a couple of hours, not a whole semester. The credits are real, and accepted at many colleges and universities.

Check them out, they have 33 exams, and your college might accept some or all of them and give you credits!

I hope you're foot feels better soon! Take care.

...Thanl You
Now even you say credits I got " might " be good.
And how would I get the necessary information to take the test - How would I learn it ?
How would I enroll for )earning the info, also? I've been spat on so many times by the College-Industrial Complex - I'm so wounded by my encounters with them . And I know that getting my necessary school records would be a problem . And what kind no tech could I use to learn & work on? All I have now is this hardly working little phone; and that isn't enough. I need help .

It doesn't sound like any of this is going to work for you without a dedicated full time helper which seems very unlikely you are going to get.

Really none of this is about how to get into college because it's that you need a dedicated full time helper before anything else can start. So unless you are somehow able to achieve getting a full time helper, there's really no point in considering anything else.

And the catch 22 is you would need a dedicated helper to help you obtain a dedicated helper in the first place.
