Lynn Sexton Written Jul 28, 2012 I lived with a sociopath for awhile who told me herself, that she saw herself as so much more aware and intelligent than most people, that she found it entertaining (the "game" Ian mentions above) to see how simple it is to make others do what you wanted. Then when she accomplished it, she saw it as evidence that she was so much more "evolved", and felt the need to seek out people who were sha... Read More » From a recent session What are the challenges of raising a child with an invisible disability? Barbara Claypole White, Bestselling author, OCD advocate, and Guiding Scribe of WFWA Written Oct 6 The biggest hurdle is taking the show on the road. When your child spirals in public, strangers will judge his behavior and critique your parenting skills. Loudly. Flying used to trigger my son’s obsessive-compulsive disorder big time, and we graded his anxiety on a scale of one to ten, ten being baton-down-the-hatches-ain’t-nothin’-we-can-do. But his psychologist trained me well, and when that...  Read More » Mary E. Rossow upvoted this answer. My grandfather died recently; he owned a MacBook Air. I want to use it now but it isn't wiped, and he never wrote down his password. Can Apple help? Phillip Remaker, Problem Solver Updated 9h ago First of all, understand this is completely different from the FBI situation. The FBI wanted access to encrypted data. Apple literally can not do that. The macOS and iOS systems are designed to protect encrypted data from all unauthorized viewers, including Apple. If you want the data on the MacBook Air and the disk is encrypted, Apple cannot help. It’s just technically impossible. If you just w...  Read More » Do doctors take offense when people don't address them as "Dr."?

Katelyn Robertson Written Sep 20 When I was in high school, I met someone who would become my best friend. She was... Unique. Told the most outrageous stories, pulled the craziest antics, and seemed to be dangerously naive and sweet. A lot of her stories were about the horrors of her mother. At first, they were vague and off handed, typical "I hate my mom" stuff. As we got to know her, she went into more detail.

My dad told me to get in his truck, and we drove back to the store with the candle. ... Read More » How do the surgeons preserve a patient’s dignity during surgery? Benjamin Colvard Written Oct 2 I’ve thought about this many times when prepping a patient for surgery in the operating room.
