My dad was his DPOA (durable power of attorney). Scheduled a doctor's appointment, picked him up, and to

So I have sebderm on my scalp and have had various patches of seb derm come and go since I was 12+ years old. I have been dealing with a particula
I am overwhelmed by information. They told him today that he will have a port placed. He has run out of sick time at work but he works from home so I'm curious what people's experience has been with WFH and being on chemo. Were you still able to work? What side effects made it hard to work? Does the
I want to post some specifics about my case. I'm doing this for two reasons. First, I'm collecting my own thoughts before I write a 2017 summary for myself and my family. Second, and most importantly, I'm going to put a lot of keywords in here so other people with a colorectal cancer diagnosis (or s

I'm a black 24 yo, and I finally decided to listen to the Rock music that gets so much praise. Outside of 3 albums, my only experience with rock music is from video game soundtracks, movies and TV commercials. I tried to go into each one with an open mind and as blind as possible, doing research aft
Hello. [Original post.](https://new.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/oefrtm/aita_for_picking_out_the_peas_from_my_dinner_in/) Thank you very much for your insight.

This is my first post here, and I only have done this after telling the whole story to a friend who posts on Reddit and told me that this story had to be put here after telling him the whole story. This is a long post, you've been warned. ​ If revenge is best served cold, then my revenge
I went on a date last night with somebody that I met on an app. Let’s just say, the second I walked into the meeting place, I instantly knew I wasn’t attracted to him.
