How do you live with someone who has alexithymia?
You have to be very very patient being with a alexithymic person. You should have no expectation of any understanding of emotional cues shown by you and a response in return. You should understand that the person is not doing deliberately, that person doesn't have developed cognitive capabilities for judging and reciprocating emotions (including their own) . You have to shower that person with love all the time unconditionally and have to be persistent despite all the cold shoulder you may receive . My gf had this condition and I came to know after we got into relationship . I initially thought she is a closed and emotional person . But later realised she is cold and brutal. She couldn't understand and reciprocate emotions like love, care etc at all... But still I gave it my best shot tried to make her realise what love is. She eventually understood it but couldn't feel it.

What went wrong at the donner party?
The Donner Party took off from Independence, MO too late. Back then, you didn't have any good transpertation system like we do now. So they had to rely on wagons. They couldn't take off too early because the grass was needed the horse/mule/oxen to eat. They couldn't take off too late because they wouldn't be able to cross the Rockys because of the snow. So the timing was very important. The Donner Party took off too late so they got stuck on the Rockys.
Were native Americans and Hawaiians cannibals?
It is questionable to whether or not that they are cannibals. Many in white culture do believe that they are but there has been no evidence for it. The evidence that they supposedly had for the Mayans and Aztecs of Meso-America being cannibals proved to be caused by other means, such as pot-polish which is the wearing away of the bone and thought to be from bones rubbing together in a pot can just be caused over time. As well as the supposed cut marks that had to be from cutting the meat off of the bone, many of the bone pieces that were found are too small to show any sort of cut marks, and when you cut meat off of the bone you don't cut the bone because it dulls the blade.
How many died in the donner party?
There were 87 people not including the teamsters or Indians that travelled with them.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, what people ate depended a lot on how rich they were. Poor people (which was almost everybody) ate mainly barley. Sometimes they made their barley into bread, and sometimes into pancakes or pizza, and sometimes into barley porridge (like oatmeal) and sometimes into barley soup. But every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, most of every meal was barley. It must have been very boring!
As much as they could, the poor people found other things to eat with their barley to make it less boring. They grew carrots and onions and cabbage and garlic to put in their soup, and they made cheese to eat with their bread and melt on their pizza, and they gathered apples and pears and mushrooms as well, so they could make apple pies or baked apples. And they tried to get honey to sweeten their treats. They grew herbs like basil and rosemary to flavor their food. Mostly poor people drank ale (kindof like beer) or beer in England and Germany, wine in France and Italy and Spain. Even the beer was made from barley! Rich people also ate a lot of bread, but they made their bread out of wheat so it tasted better. And they had more choices of other things to eat with their bread. Rich people ate meat - pork and roast beef and stew and lamb chops and deer and rabbit. And they had spices to put on their food, expensive spices that had to come all the way from India like pepper and cinnamon. Even salt was often too expensive for poor people, and only rich people had it. In fact, when you were eating in a medieval castle, the salt would be on the table in a huge fancy salt cellar, and the rich people would sit near the salt so they could use it, while the poor people sat further down the long table and couldn't use the salt. We still say, "above the salt" to mean a rich person. (c) www.historyforkids.org

-----------------How far did the Donner Party travel?
Three families, George Donner's, Jacob Donner's, and James Reed's, left Springfield, Illinois, on April 14, 1846. On May 19 they joined a large wagon train in Kansas. This train was led by William Russell. It broke up into smaller parties. The Donner Party didn't actually exist until July 19, 1846, when a new wagon train was organized and George Donner was elected the captain. This happened near South Pass in Wyoming.
Was John C Fremont apart of the Donner party?
No. He urged the Donner Party to take a shortcut which caused the party unnecessary hardship. If the Donner Party had not taken the shortcut, they would have made it to Sacramento before snow came to the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Why did the Donner party find the need to eat each other?
When the Donner Party was trapped at the beginning of November 1846, they had very little food. They slaughtered their cattle and put the meat in the snow to preserve it. Some of the emigrants had more than the others. When the meat was gone, they ate boiled oxhide and bones. They also ate their dogs. Finally, at the end of February 1847, some of the emigrants had nothing at all left to eat, so they started to eat human flesh. They didn't kill each other for food, they only ate the dead.
