IfWishesWereHorses Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 You're going to have to make a clear boundary with this guy, which isn't going to be easy because he doesn't understand/acknowledge boundaries. Link to post Share on other sites
Author D-Lish Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Creepy! I know... That's creepy... I know... I heard nothing... 3 feet from the door, dogs didn't even stir. The dogs didn't make a peep either? 3 feet from the door is kinda scary. Nothing. I had a movie on while posting on LS and the curtains drawn. I took them for a pee and there it was, outside my door. I'm not getting rid of this guy anytime soon am I? Link to post Share on other sites
Author D-Lish Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 did you actually, firmly break up with him?? Yeah T, 3 times. And by firmly I mean I told him it was over. Link to post Share on other sites
jerbear Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Yeah T, 3 times. And by firmly I mean I told him it was over. Time to dispose or return his stuff and ignore him. 3 times and he did not hear it. I'm sure he heard it but just discounted it. The movie must have been good. Link to post Share on other sites

Art_Critic Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Okay, so I just took my dogs out to pee- and I had told him today I have a cold (a bad one actually)... I've been in my pj's since I got home from work sitting in my bed all night. I just went out to take the dogs out and I find a package at my doorstep... A remedy for a cold, vitamin style, with hand written directions. Oh no... D-lish... he is still trying to roll over your boundaries... All this from just a few dates.. You really need to be careful and watch out for other not wanted contact.. He may contact your friends or family soon.. You should have left the stuff out on your doorstep.. 10-1 he would be back to see if it still there tonight.. Edited October 28, 2011 by Art_Critic Link to post Share on other sites

So he's either trying to win you over, being nice and caring, concerned about your wellbeing OR he's just acting like a freak who's stubborn and can't let go, feels he's worthy of you. Either way he needs to stop being so pushy and back off. He's definately crossing the line and not taking you seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Yeah T, 3 times. And by firmly I mean I told him it was over. He's not understanding this for some reason. WTF.. Give me his number and I'll tell him (again) that you two are over and that he needs to respect your wishes and leave you alone. Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow, she gives some hope in her words. There was no need for this man to know D-Lish had a cold. I think D-Lish needs to take drastic action here. I sense that this is a dangerous man.

Nexus One Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If you find a cold remedy that actually works, please let me know. I know of people that get anti-virus shots when they have a cold. I think it's ridiculous. I also think that taking antibiotics for a simple flu is ridiculous, unless you're very old and there's a danger you could die from the flu. There are already viruses that are immune to the 6 most powerful antibiotics currently available. Taking antibiotics for no good reason makes viruses more and more resistant to them. We you go to the hospital for a viral disease, they're going to take some blood and put it in a petri dish that has 6 sections in it, every section contains one of the 6 most powerful antibiotics available. They'll then put your blood in every section and watch what happens. They'll look for which antibiotic will kill the virus. Just some years ago all 6 antibiotics worked for everyone, now they feel lucky if more than 1 type of antibiotic works. Things are progressing that fast. As mentioned, some people have viral diseases that are already resistant to all 6 of them. And THAT while current antibiotics are already 100 times stronger than versions of just some years ago. Antibiotics that are now in the works are already 1000 times stronger than current ones. But humanity is going to run out of options once they're no longer able to develop even stronger antibiotics. I've read that in Norway hospitals and doctors have cut back enormously on giving out antibiotics to people for anything and everything. They cut back like 2/3rds of the regular supply to people and with good results. Antibiotics now has much more effect on people with viral diseases in Norway. I've only had antibiotics once as a kid when I was 13. At first they thought it was a simple flu, but I didn't get better. After which a doctor prescribed antibiotics to me. The stuff had such a powerful effect on my body, that an ambulance had to come to make sure I wouldn't die from the side effects of the antibiotic. And to think that today's antibiotics are already many many times stronger than the ones I had just boggles my mind. So if you have a simple cold, just sit it out. It takes about a week. There's no need to make the viruses in your body any more resistant to antibiotics than they already are over a simple cold. Link to post Share on other sites

There's no need to make the viruses in your body any more resistant to antibiotics than they already are over a simple cold. Your general message is on target, but you are confusing the world of viruses and bacterial infections. Viruses have never been affected by antibiotics. The antibiotic resistance you are talking about relates to the world of bacterial infections, and these parts of your message are correct: over use of antibiotics has created a situation in which we have stronger antibiotics to which more bacterial pathogens are becoming resistant, and inappropriate prescription of antibiotics for a cold (which is almost always viral in nature) is a waste of time, money, and can contribute to the same problem. Antibiotics now has much more effect on people with viral diseases in Norway. That would be a shocking result, worth of much study, as antibiotics have NEVER had any effect on viral diseases in the past... Edited October 28, 2011 by Trimmer Link to post Share on other sites

Believe me, if you ever had actual influenza you wouldn't call it simple. A common cold virus is one thing, running nose, coughing, etc.. but the flu is a whole different animal. Had it once and haven't missed a flu shot every year since. Chills, massive fever, skull crushing headache, delirium etc etc Stronger strains can kill a healthy younger person.

I thought the same until I actually had the real thing. Now I know i had a lot of colds but not the flu. Way more powerful and painful. I could wrap myself in 10 blankets and still be shivering chilled to the bone, sweating so much my mattress was like a sponge and I was seriously delirious for about 24 hours. Influenza to a cold is like Godzilla to an alligator. Link to post Share on other sites
