He refuses help because he is in denial about his situation. He's probably extremely depressed that he's lost the ability to function normally an dmore than likely gets frustrated. It's extremely difficult for someone to handle when they become also an invalid. Please remember he has lived an active life until all thi san dto have it just stopped is a heart breaking thing. It's alos more than likely that he notices (because his brain isn't diminished) that you are all ashamed of hom and wish he wasn't there. You are being selfish in your actions. Everyone is verbally abusive. I know my father is sometimes (heck I even moved 300 miles away because he made me) but if he got ill I would do all in my power to help him. You should be helping your mother out with him. He isn't brain damaged. He can still talk, ect. He knos what you are thinking and he can probably see the looks you give when around him. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh to you but I've seen the other side....elderly people who's family have abandoned them. It's awful. Now is the time to make your peace with him.

Great, way to make me feel like crap. Thanks.

He doesn't live locally so there's only a slim chance of me running into him. I don't even cover where he lives in my job so it's ok.

I first moved out when I was 18, when I went away to university. It was th ebest thing I ever did. I grew as a person a million times more than I would have done had I stayed at home. I grew more independent, more worldly wise and simply more "me".....and I learnt a LOT. It was brilliant. Of course I was spoiled and still had my parents helping me out financially whilst I was at uni so it was easier for me than others. But It was still great and all I learnt I use now living on my own and I don't need to rely on my parents for anything other than love and support now.

Well, I sent it and then went out for the evening. Just got back in and checked my messages and got this back.... "thats a shame as i own 5 homes and earn 600000 plus ur loss babe" As if the amount of homes he has and money he earns is going to suddenly make me change my mind. I was feeling a bit mean about sending it but you know what? I'm totally glad I did.

I didn't reply to his first e'mail. But he sent another so I compiled the above reply to send to him because he obviously didn't get the message the first time when I ignored his message.

I'm not sure if this is the right place so please move it mods if it needs to be moved. I have a profile on match and I've been quite specific in what I am looking for.....age range, never married etc. Last week a man e'mailed me and all it said was "Hi, call me [his number]". I looked at his profile and he is the complete opposite to what I said I was looking for. Far too old, divorced, not what I'm looking for at all. I didn't message him back. Then today I got another e'mail from him saying "look, I like u, call me [his mumber]. I've compiled this reply..... "This is the second time you have messaged me your number now and the answer is still no. I don't want to sound rude but you clearly haven't even read my profile properly otherwise you'd have read that I want to meet a man no older than 35, has never married and so on. You don't match what I am looking for. In future please read a person's profile properly before contacting them. I hope you find someone that you match. Good luck." Is what I've said too harsh? I don't want to send it if it's going tomake him angry because he seems the type to keep e'mailing someone regardless of what they say or do.

My friend bought me a rampant rabbit a few years ago and I've used it about three or four times. I feel like an idiot using it. It's too noisy, it's luminous pink and I've never been able to orgasm from it (or anything else for that matter).

Everyone has their own version of what they consider to be good so no it isn't niave. It's all about how your perceive what "good" is. Some people would consider the BNP to do "good" work. Others see what they do as "bad".

Excedrin contains 65mg of caffeine, and it also contains aspirin, which together work to relieve pain. Caffeine has a half life of between 3-4 hours in an average human, 5-10 hours if you're taking oral contraception. And aspirin has a half life of 15 minutes so the drug will be around 97% gone in 20 hours (or up to 50 hours if taking oral contraception). The therapeutic effect will wear off after two half life's so it's not likely to be the caffeine causing your symtoms. An acute overdose of caffeine is considered when more than 400mg is consumed in a short space of time. It's not a good idea to try and counter the actions of one drug with another as it can cause drug-drug interactions.

see, i'm the complete opposite. I actually prefer to talk to guys for a while over e'mail, maybe text messages....A few guys have messaged me and given me their number in their opening message which I think is totally weird. I hardly ever give out any of my numbers unless I've had a few e'mail or IM conversations first and they sound like my kind of guy. I don't even give my e'mail address out unless we've exchanged a few messages via the site first. I don't believe in moving to fast. Or maybe I'm just scared of going face to face. I get a lot of attention online like someone said but I'm scared it won't be the same face to face.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT take your baby into bed with you. It is absolutely the worst risk to take. I have seen the awful consequences of it and oh my god, I will never ever forget it, let alone the parents. There is NO safe way to have your baby sleeping in your bed with you. NONE at all.

I'm exactly the same. High stress job, long hours and then on days off you just feel so tired and unmotivated to muster up the energy to do anything except sit. The way I try to get around it is to pretend that I'm actually getting up for work and then do everything I need to do in the morning and set myself a deadline that everything that needs doing has to be done by 1pm at the latest then I change into my slobbing out clothes and really do slob about for the rest of the day.

There isn't really a healthy way to lose weight fast. I lost 9lbs in 7 days once.....I did it by eating only vegetables and fruit, drinking tons and tons of water and working out for an hour a day. But that isn't really all that healthy.

I met a guy online who was 5ft5....an inch shorter than me and we went out for six months. He was pretty sexy. Do you read all of the women's profiles that you like? Because a lot of women put their height preferences down.....there's no point in messaging someone who's ideals you don't fit into. I hate profiles that seem too showy, lame humour, arrogance, too many photos, photos of a guys car, no photo, too much emphasis on their job/how much money they make, phrases like "I know how to treat a lday".....it just all seems fake and superficial. I kept my profile simple and to the point.....basically I just said "Some things about me" and then listed words to describe myself such as genuine, loyal, bossy, sarcastic, funny, caring and so on.....putting both my good and bad points. Then gave a brief description of the type of guy I'm looking for. I don't like profiles that try too hard.

I wouldn't reply to your profile....even though it's supposed to be funny, it comes accross like you're full of yourself. I'm not saying you are.....just that's how it comes accross.

Thanks but a) I wear make up, b) My clothes cover it all up. Not self-deprecating.....just honest. As long as they're not bigger than a size 10 yeah?

No. It won't. It isn't. Anyway, this guy probably doesn't even like me in that way...he's probably just flirting and because I'm so sad and pathetic I'm clinging onto it and turning it into something it's not. So I should just get over it and stop being an idiot and get used to the fact that I'm on my own and always will be.

I think you're misunderstanding. This guy isn't an * * * *.....he's a nice guy and neither of us would ever do anything while he is still in a relationship. I'm not some dirty slag and he isn't a player. Also, he isn't spreading the word.....he told his friend who he has been friends with for a long time and me because I asked him. I just wasn't sure whether to tell him how I feel and to ask how he sees me.

Okay. So I have this thing for a guy at work. Only problem is, that he's married. At our xmas do we were getting on really well and we talked a little about serious things and he told me he didn't love his wife anymore. Nothing actually happened because neither of us are horrible people and besides I don't know if he likes me likes me or just likes me as a friend. Anyway, after he left I texted him to say goodbye and hoped he would get home ok. He texted back "bye sexy". So, because I was a bit drunk I texted him back and said that he shouldn't say those things to me and he asked why. I replied that I fancied him and it just encouraged me, and he didn't reply. Then we worked together as a crew last monday and it was the first time I'd really seen him for more than a couple of minutes and we had a really good shift. He bought me some sweets and my lunch and we just had a laugh all day. It wasn't awkward at all. Neither of us mentioned the xmas do or anything and so I just decided that I would get over my crush and just be mates with him. But then last night I worked with another crewmate who has known him for a lot longer and been friends with him and I confided in her that I had a crush on him and what he'd said at the xmas do and she confirmed it saying that he had confided in her before that he wasn't in love with his wife anymore. So now I'm not really sure what to do. I mean I would never make a move or try and entice him away from his marriage but then I think well, if he isn't happy with her? They have a little girl together as well which probably complicates matters because obviously he loves his little girl to death. Actually, now that I've typed this all out I can see this is a very bad idea and I just shouldn't even bother going there. Should I?

I doubt you'll actually go to jail but you may well get a warning or caution. At least you've woken up to what you've been doing. Now is the time to move on and forget him.

I hate blokes going down on me. It does nothing for me whatsoever. I don't mind giving oral though.

Wow! Those are great! You're so talented.

I'm kind of in a similar situation. All of my best friends are in relationships and settled whereas I don't have a significant other. I haven't been on holiday abroad since 2002 because I don't have anyone to go with. There are lots of places I'd like to visit but who wants to go alone? There are things I'd like to do.....like random classes and day trips and so on but I can never find anyone to do them with. I'm settled careerwise but the rest....well....I spend too much time alone. My best friend's boyfriend loves me apparently....he's always inviting me out with them and buying me silly presents....not in a romantic way or anything...he just loves me because I was so supportive of her and their relationship when not many people were in the beginning. I like going out with them but after a while you seem like a gooseberry......arggh....I've totally hijacked your thread here....so sorry! Erm....I don't really have any good advice for you because I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Just know that you aren't the only one in this situation.

Maybe you could do with some time alone to figure out what it is you want. Why do you need to always be with someone?
