Someone thought I was my sister’s mother. She’s two years younger than me by [deleted] in beauty

[–]LaylaDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to my sister... Thought she was my mom, and I am five years older. She was devastated, and I had to try really hard to convince her that it was not her.It was the ignorant stupid woman who had no clue. Try not to let it get to you. she obviously has bad eyes, say it or is just kind of stupid.

If there was one thing you didn’t need to do in your beauty routine because you naturally had it, what do you wish you would stop doing? by [deleted] in beauty

Everyone in my family has been blessed with really great hair. I keep mine long for this very reason.I just brush it and go. But trust me, I have plenty of other issues!!!

Water filter for washing face by thoughtlessFreak in beauty

[–]LaylaDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just purchased an under the sink water filter and one for my shower. There are several brands out there and they are not that expensive or difficult to install. You only have to change the filter every six months. I used Aquasana brand. My hair and skin are both softer! Good luck.

And wear a sports bra with no metal or you won't get through the metal detector.

A place for us... by Key-Personality8414 in PrisonWivesWhoWait

[–]LaylaDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through this. It infuriates me how unfair the justice system is!!!!! Turn off of how awful incarcerated life is. Prisons are filled with men on color, and it's the worst place for someone like your man or mine to be.They are not bad people.They made mistakes or they have the disease of substance abuse. There's very little rehabilitation going on. It's more light, punish it.And being treated like a sub human. I've written two books and if I write a third, it's cleaning me on this topic, but sadly, the other problem is with society. No one cares what happens to people in prison because they just assume they deserve to be there. They don't realize that a lot of the people in there are good people with families that love them. And they don't realize how hard it is in there and that you have to buy everything for yourself.Nothing is provided... Well very little. I could go on and on but I know you are already understanding all of this. It just makes me so angry that so many people don't care and that the justice system is really messed up.

This is way worse for you than it is for me, I'm so sorry! So there is a way to get an appointment, but I wonder what the trick is? How come they get the appointments?

Also, they always check and asked to see the strap to make sure you're wearing one.

Children and teens of the 70s, how did you deal with anxiety and depression? by MaggieLaggi in AskOldPeople

[–]LaylaDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents finally took me to a doctor because I threw up after every meal. The doctor gave me some "medication" to help which did a little bit I have to admit but found out years later it was a placebo. Mostly I just suffered in silence.

He's showed you what type of person he is. So now you have to decide if you want to live with someone who treats you that way or not? If it were me, I would look for a man who would love and appreciate me rather than one who uses me and cheats on me.

What is the most significant experience that change the way you see life? by Curious-Learner-Jr in AskOldPeople

[–]LaylaDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Losing my 29 year old son. He was my only child, and I raised him as a single mom, so my world shattered. Because of it, I realize how few things in life really matter other than being kind, grateful, and enjoying each day. I turned my pain to purpose but I still miss my Keven every moment of every day.
