Oh, definitely true. I'm just saying that if you go through another country (which you have to since there are no direct flights or boats from the US to Cuba) you are still breaking US law. I think it's stupid and so does most of the rest of the world.

Well, it's still illegal to go through another country if you are a US citizen if you don't have a special visa. However, our government grants these special travel visas to non-celebrities so I don't think it's a case of special treatment. My friend went to Cuba on an education visa for a science conference - so did…
You should check into which stores sell them - I think Steven Alan does in NYC - and pounce on a sale or sample sale. They are pretty pricey, but usually that means they are well made and can be repaired many times before they fall apart completely. But I would hesitate, too, and wait for a sale.
I don't even like cocaine but I still voted for it over MTV. Do people not realize that all their favorite musicians were on FUCKING COCAINE IN THE 80s! 1980s MTV is cocaine.
Who knows?! I doubt she would share that kind of info. But she sounds like she probably has at least one, if not co-morbid with another (Borderline and Narcissism).
Well, people with personality disorders to project a lot!
The grandiose "I was the top of my class" nonsense is what really set off my Addict BS Detector. She's claiming a lot of things that cannot be verified for a reason- it's mostly bullshit. I'm sure there are grains of truth in each story but most of it is a fabrication. She probably remembers them as happening that way…
She sounds like every reasonably intelligent drug addict I have ever known. Basically, she is 95% full of shit and lives in a delusional world most of the time. The 5% of truth is which drugs she took. I'm sure she's fucked a bunch of people and gotten away with a lot of BS but she's just as pathetic as my ex-friends…
That's true. But a lot of insurance doesn't cover different forms of BC anyway - even under the new law. So I'm not sure that it's much of a change in cost for most people. I have what's considered to be one of the best health insurance plan and they still don't cover a lot of non-generics of BC.
Prescriptions cost more because they usually require a doctors visit which can be expensive if you don't have insurance. Making it OTC makes it more available and affordable in general for women without insurance.
Couldn't you order it online? I can order Advil on line because OTC, so wouldn't this be the same?
If she is really suffering from a mental illness her family might not be able to do much for her. It's very hard to get people treatment if they don't believe they need it or want it. The laws protect the mentally ill person from being committed unless they demonstrate that they are an immediate danger to themselves…
Yes, legal protections are a large reason why gay marriage is such a huge human rights issue here in the US. Hospitals can deny domestic partners from seeing their loved ones if the immediate family members don't want the girlfriend/boyfriend to visit. It's really fucked up.
Not all states give you those protections under common law. For instance, my brother and his girlfriend have been cohabitating for a decade. If they were a homosexual couple my brother could be covered under his girlfriend's work benefits (health insurance and what not) but because they are heterosexual he is not…
You should read up on "emotional incest". It was helpful for me to read about why the violation of these boundaries are damaging and ways to avoid it in the future.
I would say probably yes. Marriage rates have gotten lower in a lot of western European countries with big safety nets. One of my good friend's parents is Danish and her mother says, "You know the Danes, you have a few kids and then you might think about getting married." At the same time there are still huge legal…
I'm not convinced that my parents wouldn't have dumped all their emotional shit on me if I had been a child. Those boundaries are either there or not. It is true though that as an adult they forget that you are still their child and really can't be their therapist or friend. Now that I'm 10 years out, a lot of my…
You are very crafty and smart! The planning is not what stresses me out, it's being the center of attention for several hours. I would prefer not to.
So sorry you are going through this. It's a really hard thing to be a bystander to when you are so in the middle at the same time. I'm now estranged from my father largely due to his behavior during the divorce (there are other reasons, too, stemming from his BPD). I'm glad I was an adult when this all happened though…
