I could be wrong (correct me if I am), but perhaps because her skin is more sensitive to light, they will allow her to go ahead so she isn't standing in the sun for a long period of time?

I'm sorry people make fun of you. You sound like a great kid with a really positive outlook. As you get older, the bullying will go away. Young kids don't know how much they're hurting someone, and even some adults don't care. But it'll get better. Chin up and keep doin' what you're doin', you'll be alright!!

No questions, I'm in the pet care industry myself, but just wanted to say thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. My baby girl was an Amish puppymill momma for six years, and it has taken so much to bring the light back to her eyes. At almost 11, she has been coming to work with me almost every day, learning to be a dog again. The transformation has been beautiful to watch, and she never would have had this chance without people like you. So, thank you, truly. You're making a difference. Lots of love from me and Shilah, the dog that rescued me.

In my experience? Not at all. The Angels I've met were kind to people who were just going about their days.

True story: a friend of my family was dying of cancer. He was a biker, and grilled at a well known biker bar in our area. The bar hosted a fundraiser for his family to help with the bills, and we went, of course. The day was going well, he was raffling off a ton of his memorabilia and gear, making a ton of money, everyone was drinking, having fun, and then word got around that a large group of HAs were on the way.

I've never seen a bar clear out that fast. My mom bailed, all but one of my sisters bailed, it was like the Titanic: women and children first. Sure enough, the HAs arrived, and they were everything I expected. Loud, raucous, devil may care. But what surprised me is how nice they were. I'm not going to glaze over the fact that the Hell's Angels have been a trafficking, smuggling, violent group. I'm aware of that. But I never once felt afraid around them. When one guy wouldn't back off of me, kept making passes and trying to grab at me, it was a Hell's Angel who knocked him down a peg and made him stop. The HA even said that if anyone gave me a hard time, to let him know and he'd take care of it. Said he had a daughter about my age, and wouldn't let someone treat a young lady like that. Bought me a soda, too.

They bought drinks for everyone in the bar, they threw thousands into the fundraiser, they kept the party going and kept it under control at the same time. No drugs, no violence, just beer, bikes, and rock and roll. It was a fabulous experience, and something not a lot of people can say they did. I partied with the Hell's Angels, and it was one of the best parties I've ever been to.

Hi, I'm very late to the party, but I hope you'll see this. I have severe PTSD as well, and have yet to find anything that helps the anxiety and paranoia. I sometimes sleep for only a couple of hours, and those hours are constant nightmares. I have a service dog who is learning to settle me down during the nightmares, by either waking me up or cuddling close so that I feel more secure. I hate that my husband has to deal with my problems. The guilt never gets easier. It costs him sleep a lot, too. It's not fair, but I don't know what to do. I'm going to a new therapist soon, but I'm really struggling. I can't sleep, the anxiety puts me off food, and I have to keep trucking on like everything is totally fine.

If there's anything you do for the symptoms other than medical marijuana, I'd welcome any advice or insight you would be willing to share.
