Reply to LPT: If you're going to a therapist you trust, plan what to talk with them by GaraBlacktail
By extension, any time you are going to see a professional whose time you are paying for, plan what you are going to say to them.
Therapist, financial planner, doctor, dentist, exercise coach, whoever.

Reply to comment by Addakisson in LPT Keep the police non-emergency number in your phone contacts wherever you live/work. You never know when you might need it. by whitlockian
Sure, but for those who do, having the phone number of the police in the phone makes it trivial to make the call. The scenario i described has happened to me at least three times in the past year.
If the LPT is not for you, that’s fine. No need to argue against it.

Many times I have been driving, seen something that require police attention, like a stalled car in the middle of a busy road, and said “hey Siri call Mytown Police”. I got the police and told them the location. I didn’t have to pull over and look it up.

Do we know how they manage to produce both sticky and non-sticky? Is the base thread the same, but sometimes secrets sticky stuff along with it? Or are they two different types of thread?

Reply to comment by neomattlac in LPT Request: How to meet rich and successful people? by neomattlac
So really, the question should be “how do I become rich”? You are assuming that a way to do that is by being around them and copying their habits.

Reply to comment by Specialist_Hippo_404 in LPT REQUEST: How do you nicely decline to answer a question? by letstradeshallwe
The problem with this is that it tells the person that you are Ok discussing it.
petdance t1_itq68yr wrote
The answer to any personal question is “I’m sorry, that’s not something I discuss.” Repeat as often as necessary.
