Wrong to check up on ill ex...what would you do?

I dated this girl for the longest and knew her even longer as a friend and she has a teminal illness. We were great friends and thought hooking up would be perfect...it was a disaster. We are now apart and I'm happily with someone very nice and sweet. My issue is she just advised me of some complications to her illness and I can't help but to be worried. I know she can be manipulative at times and has pulled some things in the past out of anger but I just don't think she would play with this. She already has one known terminal illness may have cancer on top of it. I want to check on her from time to time but I don't want to give her the false impression of us getting back together and I also don't want to screw up what I have. What would you do?Wrong to check up on ill ex...what would you do?
you should check on her. i would doubt that if she's suffering from a terminal illness that she would be too worried about weather or not you two might be getting back together or not. right? i don't mean that to be rude, but that seems like it would be lower on the list of priorties than her health.





it would also be pretty weird if your girlfriend would be upset with you for checking on the very serious health of your friend. if something happens to her, you'd be upset that you didn't act like a better freind and check on her -- so i say follow your heart.


best!

  • Ill just put 30 psi of air on my tire how comes it always drop to 22 psi ,what would be the problem?

    only on 1 tire,,,it always happened everytime i put air on that tire,,needs helpIll just put 30 psi of air on my tire how comes it always drop to 22 psi ,what would be the problem?
    I would think that you either have a slow puncture or a faulty tyre valve. If tyre is worn would sugest replacement, or for a cheaper alternative you can have the valve changed at a tyre fitting outfit. If you think it is a slow puncture then you can buy a sealant that you squirt into the tyre via the valve, this then seals the hole and repairs future holes in the tyre, the sealant runs on the inside of the tyre when you are driving and if a puncture develops the sealant by centrifugal forces runs over the hole and seals it. If U.K then try Halfords for this repair sealant.Ill just put 30 psi of air on my tire how comes it always drop to 22 psi ,what would be the problem?
    If you're talking about over a time period, it has a slow leak. If you mean you fill it w/a hose w/gage then check w/hand-held gage, the valve core may be in too deep or defective. Note, valve cores often are the source of slow leaks, put some liquid [like saliva] over the valve to see if it bubbles, if so there is the leak.
    Next time you air up your tire. get a spray bottle and mix dish soap and water. Just enough to make it bubble. spray around the rim and air valve. if you see bubbles forming at one spot you found your air leak. Sounds like the valve not seating right after you put air in it. $6 to $8 dollar fix. Check the tread and see if there is a nail in the tread. Might need someone to drive forward little at a time so you can look at the whole tread. little screws and nails can do the same thing. also a cheap fix at any tire shop.
    That`s certainly a tough one Jerome . Maybe the pressure gauge is shot ? Could be one of those new type tires with an automatic safety pressure relief valve that lets out any excess pressure .





    I`ll bet that`s it ! The tire safety valve needs adjusting to 30 lbs , or replacing . Take your car into any of the larger dealerships and ask them to inspect all the tire pressure relief valves .
    i have one that does the same thing on my car,it has a slow leak around the valve stem someday i,ll fix it,but its probably a slow leak that's causing this,you can take it off and do a water and soap test on it to see where its at,that will help you find it,also look for a small tack or a nail in it that to will cause it,good luck hope this helps.
    If you have aluminum rims (most common problem), the air is possibly leaking past the rims ';bead';. This is where the tire contacts the rim. Corrosion build-up on this bead will allow air to seep past. You should take it to your tire store and have them remove the tire and clean the rim.





    Another possibilty is the valve stem....





    At any rate, have it looked at.....
    Bring your car to a professional. The tire might have a puncture or your car is not aligned correctly.
    u may have something in it or the bead may be leaking,,
    Any number of things could cause air leaks. There might be a small nail, piece of glass or other object embedded in the tire. It may have a small slice in the tread or sidewall area. The bead could be not seated (due to corrosion, or dirt that was on it before the tire was installed). The valve stem may be loose (wrong size), damaged or the stem may need to be replaced.





    Have it checked at a tire shop and necessary repairs made and I'll bet the problem disappears! Thanks for the two points. Good luck!
    its leaking out...duh

    Would Jesus have preferred to beak bread with the Pharisees or with the homeless and mentally ill?

    Break bread? Hell, he should have been more worried about breaking the Cock Block.


    That was pretty bad apparently.Would Jesus have preferred to beak bread with the Pharisees or with the homeless and mentally ill?
    Considering the Best Answer and Askers reason: It's really a shame other members spend time giving serious answers. Thanks for just a bit more revelation on why some questions are being asked. Won't spend time again on your questions.

    Would Jesus have preferred to beak bread with the Pharisees or with the homeless and mentally ill?
    great question:





    !!!


    the pharisess were the ';hypocrites'; and sons of satan that were also sons of murderers. according to the bible.





    Jesus condemned the ';leaven'; of the pharisess.


    although I am pretty sure he would be an advocate defender of the mentally ill, i think he would also try rebuke the evil spirits or the influence of evil in any mentally ill person.





    the question is bad because it does not give the allowance of a MORE RIGHTEOUS person, either a prophet or a true believer


    the thing with the mentally ill ! is that they are easily ';gullable'; and more likely to follow satan as JESUS himself. it all depends on who is manipulating mind control.





    but the pharisees were evil. as also the saducees, they didnt even believe in the resurrection as the scriptures testify. So Jesus publicly rebuked their evil ways as hypoccritical
    IF HELL MEANS BAD AND LAZARUS HAD IT BAD IS HOMELESS A HELL?





    Was Lazarus homeless? Luke 16:20,21. Did the Pharisee's care?





    The homeless and the mentally Iill are not False Religion [ rich and show off ], leaders like the Parisee's were, that is why he said, '; Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell, he also describes their hell, their abode for the dead, Matt.23:27-33; Not the one he read in their mind, Luke 16:14-31, living dead belief, that Abraham says does not come from Moses and the prophets.
    He spent time with the Pharisees--preaching and teaching. However, He took every opportunity to meet the needs of people--both spiritual and physical/felt needs: feed the hungry, heal the sick, cast out demons, set captives free--conduct His ministry.





    I believe from examples He set for followers, His teachings and commands that Jesus would prefer to break bread with the homeless and mentally ill. (We see in scripture that He did. He tended His flock.)

    A correction to a previous post.





    Pharisees DID believe in a resurrection. That was a distinguishing feature of their sect.





    Modern Judaism is derived mainly from the Pharisaic tradition.





    Some Pharisees were mentioned by name in the Bible, such as Nicodemus, who was a friend of Jesus. One can infer from that that Jesus found no great fault with that man's behavior or his beliefs.





    What Jesus condemned in the Pharisees was an arrogance he saw in some of their leaders.





    The Sadducees controlled the Temple. They were the party of the high priests. Jesus definitely had a problem with them, both theologically and as a matter of temple administration. He saw them as corrupt.
    It depends on the heart condition, which Jesus could see. But we can see in the scriptures that most Pharisees were Hypocrites so Jesus did not aprove of their ways. That is why he 'broke bread' with the homeless and mentally ill because they had a complete heart before God.
    The Jesus of the Gospels is largely a product of the Christian imagination, and as such interacts with other fictionalizied entities like the evil Pharisees of Christian myth. It's political propaganda that's been elevated to unqestionable doctrine.
    From what we know of him through scripture, he definitely felt closer to the poor and infirm than he did to the Pharisees, about whom he sometimes spoke disparagingly.
    The homeless and mentally ill. ';What so ever you do for these...the least of my breathern, you do for me';
    all of them


    Jesus is not prejudice never has been and never will be


    he would break bread with anyone who let him and greeted him


    with open hearts
    Interestingly, Jesus does both and I think I'd prefer both as well.
    He would prefer to break bread for those who seek him in spirit and truth.
    Well the phasises were pretty hawt.. so I'm placing my bet on them. Besides.. they prolly have more wine.





    Mate.. what is beak bread?
    I think we saw his choice......

    My ';mentally ill'; friends, how would you feel if someone said this to you?

    I have schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I'm being treated for them. Anyway, those of you that also have mental illnesses/disabilities, how would you feel if someone said this to you?





    ';oh, you have a daughter? I think it is a horrible idea for someone like you to have kids.'; I asked her what she meant by ';like you';, and she said mentally ill. My daughter is very healthy, in every way. I didn't get too pissed off, I just went into work early the next morning, turned everything in her office upside-down (literally), put invisible tape over her phone piece, then wrapped her office in foil another time. I didn't get in trouble when my boss found out, he thought it was funny. I talked to my girlfriend about it and she got seriously pissed off.





    So I ask you, how would you feel if someone said that to you? How do you think you would handle it? I guess I can kind of see where the miserable old hag was coming from, but she was a jerk about it.My ';mentally ill'; friends, how would you feel if someone said this to you?
    as someone who once struggled with OCD so i know what its like to be mentally ill, and what your coworker said was inexcusable but it was also inexcusable of you to destroy her office that just makes her label you as ';crazy'; which is wrong of her to do but she will do it just ry to show her by your example that you are a good person who is worthy of reproducingMy ';mentally ill'; friends, how would you feel if someone said this to you?
    First of all, I am glad you are being treated for these issues!





    %26gt;';I think it is a horrible idea for someone like you to have kids.'; I asked her what she meant by ';like you';, and she said mentally ill.';





    I have a dilemma with this. I guess I am trying to understand how this came up in a conversation. Is what you're being treated for ';common knowledge?';
    Your daughter might have issues later in life but I agree she was wrong to say what she did. I have bipolar disorder and will not have any biological children. However my fiance has it as well and his son is a very smart kid, at 15 he wants to be a history teacher and join the army as well... it sounds as if he'll be very successful.
    Wow. o_O. She has a big mouth. I think it's rude. But I think it wasn't ok to destroy her workplace area. Just forgive her. She's too dumb and inconsiderate to understand mental illnesses.





    I admire your confidence from reading your story on your profile page. Good for you. :)





    - - - - - - -


    Okay. You handled it that way. It's fine. o_O.
    Im not mentally ill. But that is the rudest thing i've heard! How dare her! You have every right in the world to have a child!





    I think you should be pissed if you aren't already!
    wow what a f#cking bit@h. i would have done what you did honestly. no having a disorder would never effect something like that really people are rude biased fu%ks sometimes.
    Id say ';Well Im sorry you feel that way, but I disagree. My issues are none of your concern.';


    Then I'd leave it at that.


    What she said was highly inappropriate.
    LOOLLLLLLLLL i think you did the right thing that is funny........





    in the future if someone says it to you right then and there..........the best thing to do is to laugh it off.......say yea well hopefully she will turn out only 1/2 as nuts as me LOLLLLLL and say thanks and have a great day............dont give her the satisfaction of letting her see you pissed off..........





    besides you having ';mental illness'; doesn't matter that much to your daughter's health.......i know people who's parents aren't so called mental ill but yet they are........





    someone can be perfectly healthy mentally and just get mentally unwell do to stress, life events etc etc..........





    1 in 3 people have some kind of mental illness and are on medication..........





    everyone would be hurt/mad/pissed off by it..........and the fact that you were upset that someone insulted you shows you are pretty much normal, doesn't it ??????





    stay strong!!!!

    Would a mentally ill person go to Heaven or Hell? Since they have no concience?

    or brain or whatever. That would make them like an animal and the Bible clearly states animals do not go to Heaven or Hell for that matter.Would a mentally ill person go to Heaven or Hell? Since they have no concience?
    As smart as god is we are all retarded so I guess we all go to heaven.Would a mentally ill person go to Heaven or Hell? Since they have no concience?
    Having been baptized mentally ill people would go straight to Heaven because they would not be responsible enough to willingly commit sin.
    I am Bipolar I am a total moron I will go to Hell %26amp; all animals will go to heaven
    Kind of curious, can you provide the passage in the bible that says no animals in heaven?
    Mentally ill 鈮?no conscience/brain





    Mentally ill means that some part of a person's functioning is abnormal, not that that person can't think. People with mental illnesses can often be very intelligent.
    no it clearly states in the bible, when Jesus comes to earth and the end of times there will be 1000 years of peace and ONLY all the followers and disabled people will be with him, and obviously those mentally ill people will not be mentally ill anymore and they will have a chance.
    Yes, I work in special ed and have seen cripples who would have no concept of what a god is. How can they accept Jesus if they can't even stand, talk, think, point, eat on their own. Life is not fair. The only rational thought for me is there is no god, because he would not create such creatures. Most people find it weird that as an Atheist I would want to help people. It is because I am an Atheist that I want to help people. Life is not fair so I want to help ease the burdon of those who life has not been nice to. We are all here now for a little while. Help your fellow man. Those that you can.
    This is another of the faults of the Christian Churches. If there was a heaven i think every good being, human or not, would go there.
    The Bible speaks of God turning us over to depraved minds if we continue in sin for too long and reject His Word. This could pertain to a mentally ill person. However, if born mentally ill then they would go to heaven as a little child not knowing right or wrong.
    No sense of right and wrong, no responsibility!
    are you asking this question for yourself, or for someone you've recently slept with?
    People are not animals regardless of their state of being. For your sake, I hope those with a challenged/handicapped family member or friend don't answers you. I think they would, and should, come down on you big time for your assessment of a loved one. That aside, God knows full well the condition of all people. I'm sure He will judge with understanding. I feel they will be in Heaven.
    I can't judge the mentally ill, Where does the Bible say animals won't be in Heaven
    To begin with, who says mentally ill people do not have a conscience or a brain or 'whatever'? They are NOT ANIMALS anymore than if you have cancer you are an animal.





    IDIOT!! I swear I wish they had a door that checked IDIOTS and RACISTS before entering here.
    Read up on the writings of Thomas Aquinas. he addresses this issue in depth.
    Where in the world did you get the thought that someone that has a mental condition has no conscience? a brain?





    Where in the world did you get the thought that within the bible it ';clearly states animals do not go to Heaven or Hell';? Such isn't even addressed within scripture.
    Obviously himself. I usually ask if there is some disability we should know about, but this guy just came right on out with it.
    They are considered the ';MEEK'; so they are protected.
    Leave the fundies alone.
    I'm curious where your reference is stated in the bible (you can email me if you like). If man is created in Gods image.....than the answer would be yes they would go to heaven. If they have no control and are not aware of what they are doing......then I don't see how that could be sin.
    Jesus was a retard and he went to heaven.
    Sure they have no concience?

    My niece fell ill and we want to know, what would make your skin to fill like it is full of tiny beads?

    Is she cold? Goosebumps





    Fever: does strange things in regard to skin sensations.





    Other than that, it could be just a side affect, as you get sick your bodies ability to purify itself of toxins decreases and thus leaves your skin to work over time. Some peoples skin can become oil, others can break out in acne, or just react abnormally.





    I would recommend seeing a doctor though.

    Who would stop building prisons, build more facilities for the mentally ill, and stop imprisoning petty crime?

    Mentally ill should not be in prisons per se. Other institutions should be available for those people.





    For those who are just plain criminals and not mentally ill, there do need to be forms of alternative punishment to relieve the burden on prisons.





    And not only does the burden on prisons (and our wallets) need to be addressed, but restitution to victims needs to be addressed.





    Take for example a person who commits cheque fraud: That person needs not to be locked away, but made to work and repay what they have stolen.





    Jails need to house criminals that are a vicious threat to society (rapists, murderers, molesters, armed robbers, etc). Non-violent crime needs to be addressed by labour programmes or service to the community/victim, where the criminal is punished by doing something constructive for the society he wronged. Not only is this better morally for the criminal, but it is less of a drain on the taxpayer.





    And although many will disagree with me, if it were up to me I would institute corporal punishment. Sometimes a ';spank'; or two in front of an entire community is a great deterrant...and a relatively cheap one for taxpayers.Who would stop building prisons, build more facilities for the mentally ill, and stop imprisoning petty crime?
    it will be not enough anyway!!!Who would stop building prisons, build more facilities for the mentally ill, and stop imprisoning petty crime?
    Barack Obama 2008
    This is a great question. The prisons are full of mentally ill...a lot of very low IQ people are in prison due to the fact they have very low reasoning skills. They can be talked into anything by any fast talking con man that comes along and many times take the fall for it and the con man walks away free as a bird.


    I have a son that was in prison for DWI and he said it was so sad to see some of these prisoner's that in fact belong in a mentally ill facility and here they were. He said they would get the heck beat out of them because they could not figure out or were not smart enough to just be a loner and do the time and keep their mouth shut.


    You talk to any warden of a prison and he will tell you 50% of the incarcerated belong in a mental facility. How terribly sad for these people, they should be getting help instead of being throw in with people that can and do hurt them. So, yes you are right on building facility's for the mentally ill.


    As far as petty crimes go, well, usually you get a few chances on petty and then the judge gets sick of it and figures your a hard learner. So its off to prison, maybe that will teach you something. Some petty crimes may be nothing to one person but can cause someone else a lot of heartache.
    when you say mentally ill, are you including those with diseases such as alcoholism and addiction? If so, then stop the prison sprawl, and start helping those who need it.
    One who is wise enough to legalize soft drugs, support and extend the death penalty, and had a degree in psychology. We don't have anyone like that.
    Not I. Criminals belong in jail. What good are laws that go uninforced? Kinda the same as useless U.N. resolutions, huh?





    Oh wait, we should build more facilities for the mentally ill. Liberalism is a mental disorder and all of those poor people need somewhere to go.
    We need more prisons, because there is more violent crime. Yes, we need more faclilities for the mentally ill.





    And no, why should we stop imprisoning for petty crimes? Should we reward them? No crime should go unpunished, no matter what it is.
