could you try and turn it around so that it's an advantage? for example, anything small and fiddly that needs to be done can be his job in the house, anything else can be yours? the only example that i can think of off the top of my head would be painting a wall, he could go round the edges to make ...

i hope next time you learn to use a condom every time you have sex, regardless of where he's sticking it and also start taking the pill, it's better to be safe than sorry, and i mean with sti's as well as pregnancy. also, if he's still indecisive then don't sleep with him, it won't get you anywhere,...

what?! i didn't think they could do that?

i love clothes shopping, i'm a typical girl!

however, i HATE it on saturdays because it gets so busy and that makes me a bit panicy and it means that i have to apologise more than normal for walking into innocent people.

any other day though, there's no stopping me from hitting the shops! ;)

Re: novels and literature

Personally, I tend to avoid romance, biographies and autobiographies: ithink i struggle with understanding/caring about the emotive bits and need something with more of a logical structure i think i'm the opposite, i love those sorts of books and i think i'm probably over emphatic. i can only read ...

yeah, it's something that deaf people are taught to do. that, or flicking lights on and off to get the attention of a whole room!

i don't really know what to suggest about your hearing, apart from to go and see a doctor if it's bothering. i have pretty good hearing but very bad listening skills!

i only use a fork with spaghetti too. i practically live on it (i make an amazing veggie spag bol!) so i've become quite adept at twisting it round the fork, but when i've tried using a spoon it goes everywhere and when i've cut it up with a knife i've found that it always just falls off the fork. g...

i've just realised, i think that one of the main reasons why i dislike being touched is because i'm so ticklish! and i think i'm getting better with unexpected contact because i've been working with deaf people and it's often necessary for you to tap them on the arm to get their attention or for the...
