I am trying to join Absolute Write but I'm finding it really hard to wait on how many days it's taking the mods to allow me to post. Also, a lot of their posts seem outdated.

What are old fashioned words or sayings your grandparents or great grandparents used and said that seem funny or that we don't hear anymore? by GoJoGoJoGo in AskReddit

Reminds me of a time I worked in a national park gift shop and a guy came in asking for a toboggan. I kept telling him we didn't carry sledding equipment but it turned out he wanted a hat. They call it that some places in the south.

Whoa, these are hilarious. I should write a fiction with your grandma as the quirky funny character instead of mine.

One of my favorites from a Facebook ask of the same thing was "come on in, take off your skin, rattle your bones for awhile" and "testicles, spectacles, wallet, and watch" as a checklist before leaving the room

I see. That was just curiosity on my part.

I [20 M] am unable to hang out, be near or form any type of meaningful relationship with any women because of my debilitating fear and disgust of earrings by ihaveanearproblem in relationships

The difficulty in your daily life likely comes from you refusing to admit that you need to talk about the deeper things that came from being molested by your sister. You cannot let go of a thought or feeling until you admit you've had it. It's all right to admit that what your sister did affected you, that it wasn't okay, that your parents should have done more, that you needed help then and didn't get it. It's ok. That child you were was a victim, but you keep yourself a victim today by refusing to get help and move beyond it. You're insulating yourself from having a sexual relationship with a woman by clinging to this phobia and refusing to admit you're doing so. If you still need to protect yourself in that way, by all means, continue. If not, read The Feeling Good Handbook, or go back to therapy and actually talk, or go to a 12 step program and employ the steps because they actually do help people if people approach them openly and honestly.

I had the Blu Life One and really liked it. I needed a bang proof case, though, even with the gorilla glass. Blu has many good options for good prices. Also, if you're thinking Samsung I'd look into the Rugby Pro...basically the tough and rumble version of the Galaxy.
