hbsbucks Oddly enough, it isn't the needle I fear, but the medication. I have a chest port, so I am used to needles. However, I am quite afraid of medication, as there is always the potential for side effects. Unfortunately, I have to take about thirty medications...

I just got some great news in the mail today! Not only did I get my tax return, but I got approved for disability! I won't see any money from that until the end of July, but at least I will get it. I still don't know where I am as...

hbsbucks Being approved for disability certainly is great news! The uncertainty prior to approval can be so unbelievably stressful. Good luck upcoming treatments!

Hey all the readers out there! I've got a question for you. Do you have Genre Biases? As in... you only read books from a certain genre or you won't read books from other genres? Or are you an easy to please person who's going to...

hbsbucks Although I am very attached to the Science-Fiction genre, I do deviate from it on occasion. So, I am not completely genre-locked, but it really depends on the moment. (Well, and perhaps a little on my budget!) If I get started on a series though, I might...

What are some of the best ways to make new friends? Would someone be able to recommend a guideline for me to follow? I have a cognitive disorder which impairs my ability to socialize appropriately, as well as a chronic illness...

hbsbucks Feeling alienated is a choice? That is interested, I never thought about it that way. Are all of the emotions that people feel everyday a choice? This is very insightful. I have grasped the concept of engaging others in conversation, but my execution of the...

hbsbucks I think I understand now, but I am not sure how often I blink while staring at a monitor. Unfortunately, I am not able to get out much. A very high percentage of my outings are medical related. When I am unwell, or in the hospital, I spend a lot of time on the...

Many times exaggerated kindness hides a particular purpose. It's sad that it is too little kindness unselfish today, and we got used to it. Even if we have encounter an exaggerated copy of disinterested kindness,we were paranoid...

hbsbucks While I am not certain I entirely understand; your question has nonetheless intrigued me, thus I've decided to comment. I have been accused of exaggerated kindness in the past. That is, a seemingly unnatural display of kindness for the given situation....

hbsbucks My favorite genre to read from is probably Science Fiction, but I also adore learning! I especially enjoy learning about technology, science, and ancient cultures.

hbsbucks While I appreciate your advice, I am unsure of how this would help me. Would you please elaborate? I rather enjoy technology, it is one of the few things I understand. I wouldn't be keen on giving it up.

hbsbucks Thank you for your comment! Was it very difficult to interact with others during group activity? How did you know what to say? What if someone asks you a question, and you don't know the answer? Thank you for your help! Have fun in your social pursuits! :)

I think before I got on the Internet, I was far, far more trustworthy of people in general. Now these days, while I'm not completely paranoid, partially paranoid is an answer. The Internet has allowed everyone access to everyone...

hbsbucks Thank you for your reply! Is there anyway that I can know what to say to someone? I mean, I know I can't walk up to someone and recite a list of elements, (I am prone to doing things like that), but, what exactly is considered to be normal conversation?

hbsbucks Actually, I do like to read. I have seen people at the bookstore before, but, I am not sure I understand how to talk to them. Is there a way to know who to talk to, and what to say? Thank you for your reply!

hbsbucks The Bible is an excellent collection of books that I very much enjoy reading. Though I will admit, there are some books I enjoy quite a bit more than others. Also, I prefer reading from easier translations such as Contemporary English, and The Message.
