Chris C Asked: Does God hate older people?

Why did God make people when they get older suffer from a range of age related health problems? Such as arthritis, heart problems, teeth falling out, alzheimers, senility etc. Jesus disappeared up to heaven before any of these frailties could effect him – was he smart getting out early? Does God really just hate old people?

Cheryl Asked: After 7 years, I need to know how to end a relationship that is just not going to go where I want it

I have been dating someone for 7 years this Memorial Day Weekend.I am 48.He is 50.I was married for 15 years, had three children, then divorced. Then I was alone for about 8 years while I raised my children, went to school, and started a career.So I do not have a whole lot of experience with some of these issues.I have had two long relationships in my life with mostly nothing in between.A couple dates.That's it.Then we met on Match.com.We have enjoyed each other, for the most part, during this time.There has been a distance between us of about 75 miles.So we have mostly only seen each other on the weekends.It has worked for us because when we met he still had two daughters in high school.And my youngest just graduated from high school this last summer.She went off to college.So I have been dealing with an empty nest some of the time.My older daughter still lives with me and is also a college student.She will be done and probably living on her own in about a year.All along, I have said that I'm ok with our relationship the way it is but that when my children are in a more independent place, I want more.He has never argued with that.But his mother also lives with him.And it will still be awhile before we would be completely living alone together.I don't know that either one of us are really into another marriage.And his mother is very Catholic.But I still want more at some point.A very large complicating factor has happened in the last few months.His youngest daughter (and his two grandchildren) moved 2,500 miles away across the country.And he is just sick about it.At first she was just going to visit.I had a feeling it was more than that before he even really knew.She told him on Christmas night that she was not coming home.Merry Christmas.He has been definitely doing some scrambling to figure out how to handle this situation.I think she is fine.She is with good people.I do understand him missing her.She is young.The grandchildren are very young and very close in age.But she is with good people.And she is a good mother.He says if it were just his daughter, he could deal with that.But he cannot live without seeing his grandchildren.He has a decent job here.But its security is not definite.They always only seem to have enough business lined up for six months out.They have had lots of layoffs.He feels he won't be laid off unless the place completely closes which could still happen.So NOW he is looking for jobs close to his daughter.There is no way I can make that move because my job, my children, my father who has Alzheimers and is in a memory care center is here (and I look out for his interests).We have had a lot of arguments lately.We have always had a little spat about once a month over some stupid issue all of the 7 years.But the last couple months have been pretty rough.And he has said things that make me realize that if he does love me, he will never put that first.There have always been other priorities in both of our lives.But now there shouldn't be.I think he risking way too much to move so far away.There is no way that his daughter is absolutely permanently there.Her mother and sister are here.It just makes no sense to me.But he basically has told me that these life decisions he has to make will not be made with any consideration to what will make me happy."I am not going to plan my life around you."He has said more than once.I have never said anything like that to him.I have been a part of the arguments also.But I have never once said that I didn't love him, that I didn't care, and that he was not important to me.

So I realize I have a very difficult step to take.I am having a very hard time taking that step.I don't even know how.We are still seeing each other.What am I supposed to do?Sit here and wait until he packs and leaves?And when someone hurts you that deeply, it begins to change a person's feelings.I am beginning to care a little less, feel a little less.

We are grownups.I don't want to lose him.But I feel I already have.And I feel like to put off a breakup is just prolonging the greiving process.I feel like the healthiest thing for myself is to more officially end it.I just don't even know how.So I am seeking advice on how to end the relationship in a mature way and to gain the strength to start the process.

Apologies for spelling/grammar mistakes.I just don't have time to make corrections.

Le Jane Asked: Is there any case where "phantoms smells" are… normal? :/?

Well, for example. Sometimes I'll just be sitting and suddenly I just get this familiar smell or feeling in my nose which makes me remember something I've eaten in the past. I usually enjoy this and it's like reminiscing to me and makes me smile. And crave that certain food. The "smell" is usually just a quick twinge and my memory makes up by remembering the taste and smell when I've had it in the past. Well, I made the mistake of searching up "phantom smells" after just now feeling like I could smell a strawberry cake just from looking at the picture, and now I'm all worried. =___= Isn't it possible that it can just be a NORMAL thing caused by a vivid imagination? What is this about brain tumours and Alzheimers?! D: I'm only 17 and I haven't had seizures or any other bad health problems, so I'm a little confused about this.

I suppose it's important to let people know that it can be a symptom of something serious… but what about any normal cases? There's plenty of people who say things like, "It looks so good I can almost smell it/taste it", right? xP Am I getting something wrong here? I never smell things that I've never tasted or smelled before, if that means something.

Sdfsdf Asked: I think my father is losing his sanity?

He never used to do this, but over the last 5 years it has gotten worse and worse.

He has started swearing and arguing over the smallest things.He seems to have lost some of his ability for social interaction.For example, we went to see a movie as a family and he just poked the guy in the front and said "heyy I know who you are".He started trying to make the guy admit that he knew us.The person was nobody we knew.

Are these symptoms of Alzheimers?

VelvetBoogie Asked: Alzheimer’s and breast cancer?

A relative of ours was recently diagnosed with alzheimers and in the same week told that she had incurable breast cancer.The doctor described it as a large mass.A few years back she had a mastectomy and was to take medication for 5 years.Unfortunately, the alzheimers which was creeping up on her made her stop taking it and secretly store it. She is in hospital now with double incontinence issues waiting to go to a care home.She seems comfortable now, but what can we expect for this year?

summer bear Asked: You know the bracelets that epileptics or diabetics wear?

I was just wondering if there was anything like that for a person to wear
who DOESN'T want to be resuscitated in the event of heart attack, or
other such thing.Say the person is in their 60s or 70s and would just
rather die of a sudden heart attack or aneurysm than some long drawn
out battle with cancer or other such disease, or Alzheimers, you know?

Westboro Baptist Asked: Why is homosexuality no longer a mental disorder yet similar diseases like schizophrenia and Alzheim

Homosexual activists got the officials to take off homosexuality as a mental disorder. It's just another terrible step in the wrong direction of normalizing immorality.

No Peace without Emancipating Asked: How long can you bear the mental beatings from your own father?

I cannot bear it any longer.I am 49 and the old goat still rips me apart because of his own inner anger.He tore his sister down and my mom.He has done this to me all of my life.Even in his 80+ years with Alzheimers he won't stop.The insanity is I call him and knowing he will never ever change.This little "me" did not react to his ranting..I just stood in silence then he didn't know what to say because I gave him no response.The conversation ended coldly, but I still did not react.One of my brothers is aware of his behavior towards me, but the other is not.I looked to him (my dad) as my mentor, but after all these years he never was.

Rainbow Asked: What should I do about this lady who snobs me at church lately?

There's this lady I know (mid 50s age group) who's always been pretty friendly towards me and the family. She's in charge of many activities within the church, so she's considered religious and a good person. However, in the last couple months, she's totally ignoring me, not even saying hello. She does the same to the family. Both of our fathers, who have Alzheimers, lived in the same nursing home, until mine got kicked out due to his aggression (in early December). This has been extremely difficult to deal with, but she never even acknowledged the situation. Should I just let it be and assume someone told her something negative about us? I just can't figure out what it can be.

Blue Ivy Asked: To all the wrestling fans?

Chorus* (X2)
Word life,
This is basic thuganomics
Word life,
I'm untouchable, but I'm forcing you to feel me.

(John Cena)
Whether I'm fightin' you or spittin',
My discipline is unforgivin',
Got you backin up in the defensive position,
An *** kickin anthem, heavyweight or bantam,
Holdin' camps for ransom, the microphone phantom,
Teens hit the floor its the new fight joint,
Like a broken needle kid, you missin the point,
We dominate your conference with offence thats no nonsense,
My theme song hits, get your reinforcements,
We strike quick with hard kicks, duckin night sticks,
Bare knuckles man can't fight this,
Beat you lifeless,
Never survive this,
You forgot like Alzheimers,
Two-faced rappers walk away with four shiners,
The war rhymer, turnin legends to old timers,
My incisors like a viper bitin through your one liners,
New Deadman Inc., and we're about to make you famous,
Takin' over Earth and still kickin' in Uranus.

*Chorus* (X2)
Word life,
This is basic thuganomics.
Word life,
I'm untouchable, but I'm forcing you to feel me.

(Trademarc)
You ain't advancin' up the process, potental for medical concepts,

Some objects are foreign, like Lockness bonks the text,
We're complex, with God blessin your fitness is a condition of business,
You layin vision of an underground physical image,
Your underneath to undermind your old typical image,
With the precision of the percentages, and a colission of sentences,
Poetry, beats or mics, we untouchable,
Like rightous sluts with no premices, streets unite,
We rock fire with dumber beats,
You cats couldn't come this hot when they burst off in the summer heat,
Forget two takes, feel your burns the first time,
You better stay worthy of my filler for worse rhymes,
We're better than nice, check the veteran stripes,
When you beside yourself in fear, I'm killing you,
Bury you twice, despite the cover of nice, tracking your flight,
Like guerilla warfare where the grass is dense,
Approachin' me's a quick way to get referred to in the paste tense,
(Who said that?)
When the lights, the mics are on,
The crowd is dead, like an intermission when your on the Titantron.

*Chorus* (X2)
Word life,
This is basic thuganomics.
Word life,
I'm untouchable, but I'm forcng you to feel me.

TaraTurtle Asked: Why is suicide seen as selfish?

If an older person with alzheimers (sorry for my spelling) has been struggling for a long time and they want to just give up and pass away, people don't really view that as being selfish. In fact, give it time and the family of the loved one would realize it was for the best and they can now move on with their own lives and know that the ill person is finally free.

It's the same with depression. I'm 16 and been depressed since the age of 11, and I'm tired. I just want to go to sleep and be free from this nightmare. I can't think. I'm numb, dead inside. I'm only here to keep my family happy. But everyday when they see me hurting myself, it kills them too. It's unfair that I stay alive and keep doing this to them, and I know there's no chance of recovery for me. So why is it so selfish that I end my own life? Someone, anyone, do you understand?
