I have picked my lips for my entire life. When they're too raw to continue picking (I can physically no longer grab onto the skin because the top layers are gone) I start picking at whatever little hairs my fingers can find.

Picking my lips has been a pretty big challenge in my life, and people have pointed out when my lips look nasty, but I can't stop. I seem to do it when I'm engrossed in thought, reading, or when I'm nervous.

What is some coping mechanism that you can impart to people in my situation right now that may help? Some little technique you've found to be effective?

I will be aging out of my parent's health insurance at the end of March. Is now the time to apply for the ACA? Or should I wait until I don't have their insurance?

You have to have integrity and honor to keep an oath, so what do you think?

If I work remotely for a company in another state, which state's break/lunch-related laws should I be following? Which state's employment laws apply to me should something happen?
