    This past week my brother passed away from self harm

    I’m sorry for your loss, but glad that he could help others in his passing. This was also a big decision for us. Some of my family thought it be a great deed to have his organs donated (as he was on life support) to benefit others. My mother thought it would be a curse to others (I don’t know...

    This past week my brother passed away from self harm

    I come from an Orthodox Jewish family , I should preface this first , for if you are familiar with the process of shiva you might know the difficulties this entails (such as immediate burial, immense planning, and the process of sitting shiva.) My brother took his life by way of self harm ...

    Are gas prices exploding where you live?

    I'm near Washington DC in the States, gas is roughly $3.20 - 3.30 a gallon for Regular unleaded, less than 2 months ago it was about 15% less. I don't know how you all do it in Europe:eek: with the liters, I'd probably never drive there at those prices.

    About to lose my job.

    A lot of us fall in to this boat. My BF had surgery and was given a month off for recovery and he just didn't go back after 3 months, as the time went on he felt more anxious about the fact that he kept doing nothing to help his situation. It's kinda like a phobia to return. He called to...

    Very perceptive. 8 months ago when I first met her ... she said she wouldn't mind watching my dog for a couple hours whenever I need it so her dog can play with mine. However, I found this odd as I had just met her and did not feel comfortable with this arrangement. I told her I would think...

    Someone called animal protection services on me about my dog

    I have a lovely one year old dog who has had recently an ear infection and staph from an allergy and he's lost about 4 pounds. I confided in someone who I thought was a friendly neighbor about the dog's issues (she has a dog and her and my dog like to play together). She petted him and said" oh...

    What to do in Racist/bigoted situation ? Halpp

    My mom's neighbor died this year and she had no living relatives (we believe both her and her late brother were both on the spectrum). Her estate transferred to the lawyer and he hired a company to do construction/renovations. My mom saw the person doing the construction and ask what they were...
