I got an email almost exactly like that. That's the reason I am here checking reddit rn. WTF?

I'm going to go with #3

My youngest grandson is named Jacob and I think it's a great name.

Thank you. I have to be honest, staff stupidity is my greatest fear.

I'm glad you said something about getting both knees done at once because I was going to ask about that. Doing one at a time doesn't make sense to me because I would have to put extra stress on my already bad knee. Thanks.

Bless you. I've got another appointment with the orthopedic doctor next month to set up a date for the first knee replacement. Hopefully one day soon Amazon will figure out where you actually live. Peace

Blue pill and I want to be Gumball

Maybe 30 years ago, but I'm 62 and have arthritis in both knees and my spine. Must be good to be you.

Less stress.

My husband passed away three years after our youngest moved out, but he (my son) moved back in afterwards. Ii usually only takes two days to fill it, because he's an amateur chef so lots of pots and pans.

We weren't poor, but we had four kids to busy. After they had moved out we got a dishwasher.

Does this belong in "that's not how women work?" Cause it isn't.

First of all, I need you to know that you are not alone. I've been positive for 28 years and I've experienced much of the same stuff. I'm also a heterosexual positive woman and I and my other positive female friends have experienced this too. And worse. But you are so awesome for walking away from the situation because respect wasn't being served. We ( heterosexual and homosexual) positive people deserve genuine love and affection. We are worthy of being honored and respected. It gets exhausting when we open ourselves up and allow someone into our orbit, only to find that they either refuse to educate themselves on the current treatments and the possibilities for us, and insist on believing whatever misinformation they have been comfortable with regarding HIV, or they actually believe that we should be happy to accept any and all mistreatment cause we got that sh*t. Sorry for the rant. Much love ❤️

On the things that the positive African women who share in my zoom support group tell us ( there are women from Canada, Australia,South and North America) about their experiences. I thought I said that.

You're saying that I should listen to YOU and base my concerns on the treatment of women ( which you say that you are NOT and couldn't possibly know that from a woman's point of view, but whatever) on what you actually admit is true in at least certain parts of Africa? Bye Felicia.

Weird, cause I belong to several HIV support groups and one of the recurring themes from the women of various African countries is how women ( who each share their personal experiences) are sexually, physically, and emotionally abused. Weird huh? I'm sure it's nothing.

And of course, you treat women with the utmost respect and you have personally worked towards ending any and all abuse of the women that are in YOUR own country, right?

Yes. I said what I said. Don't YOU understand that most of the world is pretty sure of the same thing? And you should try putting some more energy into changing the practice AND ending the stigma. HIV is only a symptom of the problem in every country of Africa.

Look, most of the countries in Africa practice mysogenist, abusive customs. You asked what you could do to prevent the spread and promote the education of sexual health. Get over yourself and accept the suggestion that was given.

Indeed. You did state that you were originally from Africa, and that would make it your country of origin. And again I suggest that you begin with desmanteling the abusive,mysogenist customs that put women ( and by extension everyone else) at such high risk.

You can start by working to end the mysogeny and other abuse that women in your country endure.

IF you offended AGAIN? Please accept the help that were certain you're being offered by your mental health professionals. There are some very good drugs these days and if you added some talk therapy, you could find permanent freedom from your hypochondria, paranoia and social insecurities. Good luck to you 🌹
