We were, to begin with, reluctant. Reluctant to move. Reluctant to look. Reluctant to even try. Reluctant to even begin to wonder what we could afford at all.Truthfully, we really didn’t think we would qualify for anything, let alone any amount that would let us live in anything bigger than a shoebox. But we knew that none of this would be worth doing at all unless we were able to get more space for me to roll around in.So why were we looking at buying anything at all? In May, I fell, seriously enough to be hospitalized a few days. As a consequence of that fall, I was interviewed by a state caseworker to see whether a PCA[1] and the CADI[2] waiver program would be things I would benefit from, due to the extent of my health challenges, mobility needs, and the amount of help I needed in order to best function and be happy.Fortunately, I was granted PCA hours, and I was accepted to the CADI waiver program. This both meant that I could continue to stay home and be happy, and that we could afford to have Karen, who was understandably extremely reluctant to leave me at home alone for half of every day with an outside job, to stay home with me and to take me to my appointments and to continue to participate in the things that bring us joy.One of the more appealing things about the CADI waiver program is that it will remodel your home in order to enable you to stay in your home. Thinking that we had to stay renters, we tried to work with our apartment complex, one of the few mostly accessible apartment buildings in our particular area, with the idea of remodeling a two bedroom apartment in the same building. Long story short, the complex was willing, only if CADI would pay to put it back the way it was before we moved in, and even then the list of changes was appallingly small. Mostly just the flooring, in all honesty. CADI said no to that, and really, I can’t blame them at all for that.We really felt stuck. I looked at hundreds of apartment listings for the elusive perfect spot, and frankly there was next to nothing available, even at twice the rent we were paying. Disability specific apartment buildings typically were very small units, only had roll in showers, had enormously long waiting lists, and at least some of them excluded able bodied partners. Obviously full on assisted living was a complete nonstarter, they all excluded any possibility of living with Karen.Seven weeks ago today, Bryen Zimmerman suggested that we look at buying something. Probably my first reaction was to quail. The convoluted and difficult process to get my new wheelchair was sucking the life out of me, and frankly I was concerned about trying for a purchased home and falling flat on our faces. But you know, Bryen was persuasive. Karen and I looked at our credit scores at Mint and we realized that we both had excellent credit scores, and really the worst thing was that the broker and/or realtor we got would laugh at us and throw us out. We were getting nowhere fast anyway trying everything else, so…So he hooked me up with a couple choices each from his referral network, and I chose Michele Brandt[3] to act as our broker and Dody Kettler[4] for our realtor. While obviously Karen is able to talk on the phone, what I really needed and wanted was people willing to talk to me through text, emails, and ultimately Facebook messenger to get information directly to me and to handle as much as possible through the iPhone. I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how I was able to sign all the paperwork up to the formal closing itself electronically, using a couple different e-signing programs, and I was able to upload all documentation using my iPhone camera whenever I wasn’t able to simply upload PDFs from my iCloud. Talk about tedious but really ultimately painless and all done in bed stuff. It made an enormous difference in my being able to do all of this, and I also appreciated that all my house documentation was stored on my iCloud, easily readable anytime I needed to look at anything. Michele and Dody contacted me at all hours of the day - Karen and I sometimes joked that these wonderful people never slept!The house search itself was physically difficult but doable, and I think we actually only did two days that I fully participated in. The house that we ultimately bought was something that we fell in love with the week before we even started officially looking, and we didn’t look there the first day because honestly I really thought the purchase price would be beyond our signNow. Given the vagaries of the local housing market, the seller had already rejected two bids that were under the asking price, and so we knew going in that it would go for as close to full asking as possible. I did the math, and the math suggested it would cost about the same as renting a two bedroom apartment that wouldn’t be renovated, and it was well under the all in monthly price that Michele told us we needed to stay under.It’s a three story house. Obviously no accessibility at this point to the loft or basement spaces, but four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main floor. The basement has a guest suite. The loft someday will have a chair lift and the old too big walker and wheelchair will be upstairs and it will become an art studio.For now, what matters is that the main floor lacks hallways, has beautiful wood floors, has wide doorways, and is easily navigated. It currently has a less than tremendously awesome kitchen and bathroom, which doesn’t matter because CADI is there to provide the walk-in bathtub and safe bathroom design that I need in order to perform my ablutions, and it is also there to set up a kitchen space I can actually use. There would never have been any point to buying a house with a fantastic kitchen and bathroom that I couldn’t actually use.The second bedroom on the main floor will be converted into a laundry and closet space, as it backs to the kitchen and is a lot safer (and probably cheaper) than trying to figure out how to make it possible for me to take laundry to and from the basement and to get around safely there. There are two large living spaces on the main floor, and amazing woodwork and windows. There is a lot to work with, in other words.We started our house search process and closed on our house in seven weeks. I’ve been told constantly that this has been an incredibly fast process, and maybe it has. All I know for sure is that buying a house was far easier and faster than my nearly impossible process to buy the wheelchair, and I don’t know what that says about the American medical system. Surely nothing good at all.It also required virtually no money up front to buy. That part was probably the most surprising part of the whole thing. I was able to qualify for a special program that covered disabled Minnesotans, and that program provided me with a 10k down payment. Again, our broker and her staff really went the extra mile to ensure that we could buy the house that fit my mobility needs so well.The closing was today.It takes a village, and I am grateful for the amazing people that worked with us. Thank you. I also want to thank Karen’s mommy and my mama for doing what they can to help make our lives more possible. Here’s to your guest suite!What’s next? Moving in ten days from now! CADI remodeling!Here’s to living a more possible life.Footnotes[1] Personal Care Assistant (PCA ) Services[2] Community Access for Disability Inclusion Waiver[3] Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation[4] MinneapolisAndMore

My mom was overly respectful of my privacy. She really shouldn't have been, I was NOT being good in any way. She wouldn't even open my bedroom door to toss something in if I wasn't home. So I can't speak from direct experience, but I do maintain a diary & have for the past several years consistently. (Actually, I've filled 12 notebook's in that time)When I started keeping a journal, my husband and I had started having problems & I started losing my mind over it! (The worst thing you can do in reaction to your man pulling away suddenly. In my defense, he had never done it in 11 years together & 9 married) Anyway, I didn't want to hide my notebooks, I didn't want him to feel like I was keeping secrets or badmouthing him in those pages either. Also, I wanted to remove the thrill of “spying” or the rush of doing something you shouldn’t; I told him to feel free to read it at any point, cover to cover, no need to wait till I leave the room or quickly throw it down when I come back in. It really removed the curiosity and appeal, plus, he didn't really want to, “see behind the curtain” Most men don’t, understandably so. I never hide my notebooks, I never think twice about leaving it right on the bed, even while he's laying there & I'm off to take a shower or the like. It's really a liberating feeling, being an open book.I understand your situation is different since it's parental and not a signNow other in a relationship between 2 adults, but this may be helpful down the road. Giving “no holds barred” access lets a person see that you have nothing to hide and no issue owning your feelings, opinions, thoughts, etc. They think if it was any juicy info, surely you wouldn't give them unfettered access or leave it lying around, right? My husband bought me a big, leatherbound journal with a legit padlock on it from Amazon for less than $20. It's funny though, I never write in it. I found some amazingly secure journals on etsy, it was made with super thick leather and a steel spine and mechanism to hold the lock, which was a full size padlock. It was almost $200, but the paper is refillable and it looks so awesome! I still want one!In your situation, I would go for the decoy diary with PG rated entries and keep your uncensored diary hidden. Maybe even make both notebooks identical so she doesn't get a chance to ever see one that looks unfamiliar, thus piquing her interest. I would hope after reading the decoy for a while she would see she can trust you and not feel the need anymore.A diary is worthless if you always feel you have to write what someone else finds acceptable.

Massachusetts is held as some kind of “model” for gun laws. In this state you have to have a license to even touch a gun. Nearly every gun is registered. The Assault Weapon Ban is alive and well. Basically, every liberal anti-gun dream short of a total ban exists.And when you look at the number of gun deaths, it looks like it is working.Well, you know what they say - There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.Here is how the numbers are fudged.First, when they list gun deaths, they list ALL gun deaths. Nationwide, nearly 2/3 of all firearm deaths are suicide. Here in Massachusetts, firearm s...

These are the tricks that I have been using on my friends for a while now:1) Giving them a choice without giving them a choice: If you want someone to do something for you and you don't want to give them a choice to do it or not, just give them a choice to do some of it or all of it. This is a trick my mother used to play on me. I absolutely hated Okra as a kid. So while cooking Okra, mom used to ask me if I want 3 or 5 Okras. I automatically used to say 3 Okra there by choosing to eat Okra and there by doing what my mom wanted!​​2) Senses dependent recall: Try this in a simple way. Watch a movie you never watched while playing a game you never played on your phone. Next time, whenever you watch the movie you will remember the game or whenever you play the game you will remember that movie. In the very same way, try chewing a gum while studying for an exam and then while writing the exam chew the same flavored gum, you would recall the answers easier than before.​​3) If you can't convince them, confuse them: Let's take it in a business perspective: If you are developing an app/website that helps you order food from different restaurants of selected cities, just saying that might not convince all the investors you want. Instead, include a huge set of geeky terms into your manifesto saying that you are going to analyse people's food habits depending on the day of order, season, time, weekends, holidays, place, gender and a bunch of other defining differences and there by improve recommendations for people alike. This will bag more investors than the prior one. Christopher Nolan does this with his films by confusing audience with a lot of scientific/technical detailing.​​4) If you can't confuse them, corrupt them: Continuing above example: Investors aren't dumb enough to fall for your confusing manifesto. At least not all of them. So you can't just talk your way into making them invest on your project. So just give them want they want, advertise their companies or the companies that pay them on your app. As simple as that. Micheal Bay does this with his films with a lot of product placements that will satisfy investors and producers and with lot of bomb blasts and action sequences that will satisfy audience and trick them into actually believing that the movie is good irrespective of the story quality. So the point here is.. Convince, Confuse and Corrupt are the three C's of life everyone should opt to achieve success.​​5) Detect your Stalker: Ever get the feeling that someone is watching you, but you're not sure? Try yawning and then glancing at your suspected stalker. If they yawn, then you know they've been watching you, since yawning is contagious or look at your watch. If they are indeed watching you they will usually look at their own watch.​​6) Chunked recall: This is generally used for phone numbers on day to day basis. For example, say my phone number is +9177997977xx. It's really confusing with all the sevens and nines to remember it individually. 7-7-9-9-7-9-7-7-x-x would be a nightmare to remember and rather confusing. Instead try chunking the number 779-9797-77x or 77-99-79-77xx. By chunking information you can remember more.​​7) Paternal Wisdom: If you want people to take your words more seriously just say, "This was what my father/mother taught me when I was a kid". People tend to believe in paternal advises.​​8) Song stuck in your head: Nine out of Ten psychologists agree that "Unfinished" things gets stuck in your head. If you want to make it go away just think about the end of the song and get back to your work.​9) Do not round up statistics: This is a classic. All the stores/companies use this to lure customers and also to get concession on tax. Non rounded up things look more legit than rounded up things. So stores make it 99 cents instead of 1 dollar. In the same way, when a friend asks you to review a book or a movie don't give them a rounded figure. Give them a figure with decimal value like 3.25/5 or something. This will make them feel like it's well thought out and legit.​​10) Hold your glass with left hand in parties: People like warm handshakes. People tend to like people with warm handshakes. So always hold your glass with your left hand so that your right hand doesn't turn cold. Also make sure your right hand isn't sweaty because that's just disgusting.​​11) Confrontation complication: You want to avoid getting confronted or ratted out by certain person? Just sit beside them. It will make them feel extremely awkward to confront or rat out on someone who is right next to them. No one can sit next to a person that they are about to bad mouth.​​12) Rock Paper Scissors: Do you want to win a Rock Paper Scissors game? Just ask the opponent some (any) question! Their brain automatically goes into defense mode to prep to answer question and almost always people defensively throw Scissors.​​13) The Silent technique: Nothing is worse than a silent listener. People will go to any extent to break your silence and while talking or negotiating and sometimes they even give up their key point just to make you interested. If you want a friend to open up about something, just ask him/her a question and if you feel like they just gave you half of the actual answer, maintain eye contact and stay silent.​​14) Order of counting: When you are working on something like in gym or swimming laps or anything, you will most likely complete the whole set if you count in reverse order like 10-9-8-7-6.... rather than 1-2-3-4.... Deadlines are more effective backwards as they rejoice your energy!​​15) Social Joke breaker: If someone is cracking a joke about you or your friend in a group, just pretend that you can't hear them and ask them to repeat. Then stop them in between for answering a text or something, apologize and ask them to repeat again, no joke is funny for the third time and no one in the group laughs.​​16) The concept of Sale: Making people believe that they are gaining from a deal is an art. Give something useful for free with something less useful and it makes people to buy the overly priced less useful thing to gain something useful. It will automatically make them feel like the pricey less-useful thing is a useful thing too.​​17) Achieving technique: To achieve a goal, stop visualizing the end and start visualizing the processes to achieve that goal and the future beyond the goal. This will make people work harder than before.​​18) Changing plans to your advantage: When you are taking a girl out, take her to someplace exciting like Roller Coaster ride or a horror film or something that involves activity, something that makes her heart pump more blood than usual norm. That will rise their Adrenaline there by making her think that she is more interested in you rather than the activity.​19) Changing surroundings to your advantage: This is tricky! When you are meeting someone you would like to gain trust of, meet at a place of their choice! Research the place before you meet. They most definitely will feel that they are in a comfort zone when you meet them and you can use it against them for your advantage by using the surroundings with appropriate contemporary conditions.​​20) Give before you take: No matter what! You have this one thing with you that is of no use to you but can help others with their stuff. Find that thing and give it to the appropriate person that you want to gain trust of. He/She will appreciate it and will be willing to help you even by going out of their way.​​21) Take to gain trust: This works like a charm. If you want to make someone trust you, take something from them. It doesn't matter how small it is (like a tissue on the table or a pen in their pocket) Once a thing passes from their hands to yours, their brain registers it as an investment in you. People tend to trust their investments there by trusting you. Also asking people favors will train their brain that they like you.​​22) Swear a little when you can: Swearing a little can help you increase your social skills. Even adding an innocent word like "Damn" can make you more persuading.​23) Chewing Gum: When you are about to do something that is going to make nervous and you really want to get rid of those jitters Chew Gum. This is why sports people chew gum before and sometimes during the game! Because it will make your brain think that it is in a safe situation and there is certainly nothing to worry about because you are eating. So your brain will put you in a state of relaxation so that you can enjoy your food.​​24) Buy the first round and get free booze for rest of the night: When you are in a group and you don't have money to last the entire night, go buy the first round of booze for every one in the group or on the table, everyone else will buy the other rounds and you will be surprise how much you can make your fellow boozers spend on you just because you bought the first round. "I got the first round guys" will trick them even after completion of a circle.​​25) Anxiety clean up: If you ever feel anxious about something and you are not even sure why or if you are really anxious about some result you have been waiting for a while now, just go ahead and clean up your room or your work space, your brain will see this as everything around you is well organised and everything will be fine. This is why OCDed people are so obsessed with hygiene.​​26) Opening and Closing statements: Opening and conclusion are the only things that people are going to remember and they are the only things that matters. So when you are in an interview or if your are giving a speech, just come up with a great opening and conclusion. Never open with a joke, that will just make you look like an unprofessional unless you are utterly famous.​​27) It's not what you said, it's the way you said: No matter how harsh your response to something is going to be account into other people's feelings and know how to express and explain. Even the deadliest things can be explained with ease if you maintain the phase of the conversation in an excusable way.​​28) Notice the eye color when you first meet someone: This is text book psychological trick. Every post about psychology tricks contains this. The explanation is really simple. If you try to observe the person's eye color you obviously are going to have to look into their eyes for a second or two. People tend to trust people who maintain eye contact.​​29) Identify your admirer in a group: If you want to identify your admirer in a group of people just crack a joke and observe, the person who admires you will look at you longer while laughing than the rest/ they would look at you first.​​30) Questioning continuously is the key of any conversation: If you are chatting with someone and you really want to keep this going just text questions, even your answer for a question can be a question. People feel obligated to respond to a question there by fulfilling your purpose.​​31) Mirroring body language and slang words: If you want someone to agree with you or like you while having a conversation, pick a slang word they often use and their body movement while using it (believe me everyone has got one) You mirror that and they will like you more.​​32) The selfish self image: Show that you are a little selfish. Believe me everyone is selfish and when they meet a fellow selfish person they will obviously tend to find common things there by liking you. Know where to stop though. (You don't want to end up creeping them out)​​33) Asking the meaning/story of their name: Not everyone likes their name, but everyone get used to it eventually. So you asking them the meaning of their name or the story behind the name will make them like you more.​​34) Ask for something bigger than you actually need: This is another trick everybody knows. Ask for a bigger deed which will obviously get rejected and when they reject it ask for a smaller deed which you actually need. They will feel guilty and obligated to help you out.​​35) Show your dark side: Nobody trusts a person without a dark side. You want to make someone trust you! Reveal a small amount of your dark side. A childhood tragedy or a relationship gone wrong anything. If you are really that sane and don't actually have a dark side make up a story. People will trust you more once you share the dark side that's been bothering you.​​36) Know where to stop: This is continuation to the above but can be treated as it's own point too. Know where to stop even if you are revealing your dark side or anything else. You never overstay your welcome and that applies to conversations too. Do all your tricks while you are welcome always keep an eye about where and when to stop.​​37) Know what the other person thinks about themselves: Everyone has a self image about themselves in their head. Once you know what they feel about themselves you can use it against them and make them dance.​​38) A compliment that makes the receiving end insecure: This is funny and tricky. Find that one thing that doesn't look or feel good about someone else (like a broad forehead or pointy nose) and compliment something nearer to it saying that the thing you just complimented covers up for the other thing. That will make them a little insecure and will make them cave.​​39) Never give the data first.. Give a story: Although data is always accurate people tend to believe in stories and overlook data. So when you are giving someone some data, give it with a story first.​​40) Be a person of your word: Always be a person of your word. Always keep your word. This isn't some trick. This is just the basic thing to make people to trust in you.​​41) Timing your accusation aptly: When you are going to accuse someone try not to accuse them the second you know about it. Save it for sometime and when the time feels right say this: "I trusted in you so I didn't ask you about this before, but now that you have lost my trust here it comes (and then accuse them)", this will make the person on the other end of the conversation extremely nervous and emotional.​​42) The Argument weapon: When arguing with someone, act much calmer than them. This can cause them to say something particularly irrational which you can use against them.​​43) The embarrassing detailing: When you are lying to someone right to their face and don't want to get caught, just add some embarrassing detail to it. People tend to believe those lies because no one likes to share embarrassing details unless they are true.​​44) The Epic search technique: You adapted reading from left to right so while searching something in a page or anywhere search from right to left. It will drastically reduce the chances of missing something.​​45) The rhyme game: Ask someone "What is the word spelled J-O-K-E", make sure they actually say the word. Following ask them "What do you call the white part of the egg?" or “What is the word spelled ‘S-H-O-P’?” Make sure that they say: “Shop.” Then immediately ask them: “What do you do when you come to a green light?” Their answer will likely be wrong.​​46) Furious Forehead technique: If you are mad at some one that you are obligated to talk for next few minutes, stare at their forehead while talking, it will make them really uncomfortable.​​47) The Path Finder: Ever wish you could clear the path you walk in? In crowded areas, look in the direction in which you intend to go and watch the walkway just open up. In busy areas and crowded streets, people tend to watch other people's eyes to see which direction they will go so they can go the opposite way. (Doesn't apply for queues)​​48) Arrive early the first time you meet someone: It's not punctuality issue or anything, it's just people that people will think that you are more interested and invested in them when you arrive early.​​49) The card trick for food: Go to someone's table in a restaurant and ask them to close their eyes and picture a playing card and while they do that eat all their food and run like hell.​​50) Playing dumb is always smart: Whoa! Finally fifty. I have been saving this for the last because this was the first thing I have ever learnt (on my own with out help) to trick people. Always play dumb. At-least know when to play dumb. Trick people into believing that you are too dumb to pull off something and they will never doubt you with anything​51) Making long answers on Quora interesting: To make long Quora answers interesting add pictures (may be some pop culture references) in between paragraphs.​​Suggested by Daniel Șuteu52) Giving a bold presentation: If you want your presentation to stand out and to make people think that it was bold, add pictures as less as possible because if you can't give an effective presentation without pictures you are not up to the potential they expect you to be. Instead add cool stories, plot twists, opening ice breakers, humorous self mockery and end your presentation on a rather serious note.​​53) The OCEAN Test: If you want to stop judging someone and start analyzing you have to take these five things into consideration, Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism. Perfectly balancing these five is considered "Ideal" behavior.​​54) The forbidden fruit: No matter what, the forbidden fruit is always tasty. ALWAYS. So if you want to sell something to someone or make some boy/girl to want you, present it or you as UNAVAILABLE. You may not notice this the very next moment but eventually it or you will become the forbidden fruit and people will die to have just one bite.​​55) The lie detector: Do you wonder if a person is lying to you? Do you have a problem detecting a person while he is lying? Look for these signs: Nose touching and Mouth covering: People tend to touch their nose and cover their mouth while lying because of a hormone Oxytocin which gets excreted and accumulated near nose tip or lips. Eye movements: People tend to blink more rapidly while telling a lie. They try to maintain less eye contact or they over do it by just silently staring at you. Apart from that when people are lying (making stuff up or imagining) they tend to roll their eyes to their right side and when people are remembering something they tend to roll their eyes to their left side. Detailing: It takes a very well trained brain to know how much detailing is too much detailing. Unless you are dealing with an absolute psychopath, you can tell if a person is lying by the detailing he gives to a lie.​Please suggest more tricks in comments and I'll add to the list.
