OK, many people tell me that I'm too trusting & too nice & deserve to be taken advantage of for not knowing how to be assertive & saying NO. But when I do develop the balls to say NO & not trust people, they think I'm a paranoid schizophrenic & crazy for not trusting them.

But most people advise me to not trust ANYONE. & I'm not that clever enough to see through people & judge whether they're trusting or not. Is there a such thing as having the gift of discernment? If so, I don't have it.

& also, with my personal experience with schizophrenics, why is it that some of them (not all) take advantage of or scam you because for no reason, they think you're going to scam them.

I just wonder how I can become more assertive & say NO without feeling guilty about it.

The way I grew up in the foster family, when I said NO, my teeth almost got knocked out by my foster sisters & brothers & people @ school. So I'm afraid to say NO with fear of people hurting me physically.

My 22 yr old son is sleeping on a Futon. Should I cave and get him a bed?

He moved out early this spring and has been sleeping on a floor and a futon. He works full time at Walmart, and he never asks me for anything.
Truthfully, I have a lot of guilt over how poor we were when he was a little boy. I worry a lot about whether or not he is permanently damaged by the way life was when he was little, so now I help out when I can. I pay his college tuition and offer to help him out in whatever way I can.
Should I buy him a box springs and mattress? The one I looked at is $600+ dollars at Menards and it would be a birthday present.

Can you say these tounge twisters?

Can you say these tounge twisters?
Here's something fun:
1. Say:
One smart fellow he felt smart, two smart fellows they felt smart, three smart fellows they felt smart (and keep counting up as far as you can go.) Try not to look at the words or that is cheating!
Something funny will come if you say it too fast.

2. Unique New York
(say it ten times fast)
after about the second time, you can't pronounce it right!
Just thought these were fun! :-)

Is the government experimenting with the weather?

Over the last few years the weather pattern have been very weird. Drought for 1 year and record rains the next.

We know they can seed clouds and things like that.
