@brclothwrites Yes. I've dealt with several people who met diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder and one adolescent who met the criteria for antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy, in lay terms). And I once had a president who met the criteria for both.
@mmpadellan I used to get so plugged up that even Vicks couldn't break through. My parents rubbed it all over my chest and back and then pinned a flannel cloth over it. I used to ask for a dab on my nose and if I was lucky, I sometimes caught a whiff of it. I love that smell.
@DzintraSullivan@CM_Smolinski I've always lived in the American Midwest where winter lasts about six weeks if the groundhog sees its shadow and about a month and a half if it doesn't.
@Mad_Hildebrandt Poor people don't need more stuff. They need money. The only difference between the poor and everyone else is that the poor don't have enough money.
@DzintraSullivan Off the top of my head, I'd say Captain Ahab, who is defined by his obsession. He's portrayed as an asshole, which he certainly is, but his reasons are compelling.
@brclothwrites I hope to still be alive after 5 years. But I also hope to have all my affairs in order so my son doesn't have to worry about stuff like funeral expenses, money, and housing. My dream is to finish the novel and the biography I'm working on.
@Nickyshearsby22 Negative reviews on bookstore websites do. I sometimes choose a book based on the negative reviews because they often don't like it for all the reasons I would like it.
@Ksparkle05 It depends. A scent that's usually associated with something positive, like roses, could emphasize the contrast between his evil deeds and the image he wants to portray.
