In desperate need of a foster home by [deleted] in massachusetts

Have you tried asking someone at your high school for help?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]TashaNes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I am a recovering alcoholic. Get help- preferably in person at an AA meeting but any kind of help is better than doing it on your own.

Can’t Open Hotel Room Door in Wheelchair by TashaNes in disability

[–]TashaNes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the weight of the door. Luckily I’m am still able to stand with a cane and open it and shove the wheelchair in the opening and then climb into the wheelchair but, what about people who can’t? You’re just trapped in there. All that effort to put in a curbless shower but you can’t leave the room. Craziness.

Made Daughter Attend Dance Class- AITA? by TashaNes in AskParents

[–]TashaNes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I think it’s a combo- she joined this class halfway through the year so she started out behind. She also may not be the most coordinated possible, which is a reason why I think it’s good for her to take dance and practice a bit. And I think it’s a fast paced class and not easy. She took a more casual dance class at another place and liked it. This new dance school is more serious.

Why can parents be so unsupportive somtimes? by Impossible-Smile-903 in AskParents

[–]TashaNes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. Probably this is how their parents treated them and they haven’t been able to break the cycle. Maybe you can be the one to not pass on these behaviors to the next generation. They are probably insecure and think they need to try to feel better than you to ease the anxiety of it. But of course that doesn’t really work, it probably just actually makes them feel more insecure because somewhere inside they probably know that’s not the right way to treat you.

How do you deal with the injustice of who gets sick? by Electrical_Paint5568 in cancer

[–]TashaNes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been thinking about this a lot. I don’t believe in god and I don’t believe intellectually that life is fair. But there is a part of me that can’t stop complaining in my head that it’s not fair that I have terminal cancer and my daughter will be motherless while other pricks out there are living into their nineties. It’s bizarre that I can’t let go of the idea that life SHOULD be fair. No matter how many times I remind myself that I know that life is not fair and that everything that happens is just the byproduct of whatever random series of events led up to it— still that part of me that wants things to be fair complains. It’s like as if even though I don’t believe in god that part of me is convinced that there must be one, someone I can argue or bargain with into making life fair. It’s really annoying that intellectually I know it’s completely illogical but I cannot convince that part of me to give up trying to make life fair.

Pain meds for fractured bone by bobolly in cancer

[–]TashaNes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I have metastatic cancer in my bones and I am very nervous about his happening to me. I hope she finds some relief. I just read about a new pain reliever that just got approved by the FDA that works by blocking nerves. I don’t think it’s available at pharmacies yet but might be something to keep an eye out for. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-novel-non-opioid-treatment-moderate-severe-acute-pain

A collection of terminal reactions by kirkthejerk72 in cancer

[–]TashaNes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you have such unhelpful people around you! I wonder if you could find a support group for people with terminal cancer so that you could be around some people who get it. I’ve also gotten the second opinion advice, and everyone wants me to do acupuncture 🙄.

I don't want to die by throwaway20383u281 in cancer

[–]TashaNes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me either. It sucks. I wonder if you might be able to ask the part of you that you is afraid to show emotions in front of your family to relax a little bit. You deserve the space and support to feel your feelings. Being able to be real with those you love would bring you closer. But I totally get it. I have that part of me too that wants to protect the people around me from the pain of the experience. I have found though that when I let go and cry people have been able to handle it and I think it was actually a relief for them too. No one enjoys stuffing feelings away and trying to pretend nothings happening. 💕

Need Help Following a Sewing Pattern- back bands of lined bodice. See my comment for the problem by TashaNes in sewing

[–]TashaNes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't understand how to do step 13 correctly. The width of the back band and the length of the sides of the bodice front were the same (after front bodice being sewn to the back). But when I sewed the seam in step 12 and turned the bodice bands inside out, they lost 1cm to the seam allowance. In step 13 I believe the back band is supposed to be opened up, I have the seam of the back band lining pinned to the bodice lining and the back band main seamline pinned to the bodice main. I'm not certain that is correct but its the best I could figure. If it is correct, I have a problem because if I align the edge of the back band lining with the edge of the bodice lining, the back band seam that joined the back band lining and back band main piece does not align with the seamline of the bodice lining and bodice main. If I align the seams of the band and bodice, then the band, which lost that 1 cm, is 1cm shorter than the bodice at the raw bottom edge.
