What do I do when a friend won't take no for an answer

I am single and my friend is married. She wants to take me to a singles night so I can get a date. I keep telling her now because I don't like this. I am size 24, not quite a 26. I I'm disabled and missing my arm below My elbow, very low confidence and i tend to like people who I believe are way out of my league. Personally, I don't think anyone could possibly like me romantically. I keep trying to tell her no I don't wanna go, but she won't take no for an answer. We are going on a work trip and on the way home she's going to stop. The problem is we have to take the same vehicle. A work vehicle, so there's no getting out of it on my end. If she really does stop. How can i convince her to not go.

How do I tell my friend no when she won't listen?

My friend is married. I'm single. She wants me to date but i have a few issues with it. I have low self confidence, I'm physically disabled (no arm below the elbow), over weight, and painfully shy. No one will want to date me. She keeps saying it will be fine, and i don't believe her. Next weekend we have to go out somewhere together for work. She made plans with two other friends (one married and one single) to stop at a singles event on the way home. We have to share a work car no exceptions, so i can't just drive away. She won't take no for an answer, how can i make her listen?

Question about jerseys and pants, value

I stopped riding years ago. I have some old fox and thor jersey and pants sets and just jerseys from 2009-2011 probably. Both mens and women. They were washed but never worn. If i bothered reselling them, what would they actually be worth? There's a shirt for the first pants and maybe pants for the lone fox shirt as well in another box.

A tree fell on my house

A big tornado came through and skipped over my community. However, because of a lot of wind damage, unfortunately it dropped a 150 foot tree on my parents house. My dad called and started a claim at insurance and then started looking for somebody to remove the tree. Because apparently, the fire department said, if the deal removed before the rest of the storm hits, they'll have to condemn the house. We got a tree removal company out there, they're taking the tree down, it's gonna be 14K. Once the tree is off, they're going to tarp the entire roof. The tree went through the roof, through the attic, through a bedroom, and damaged another bedroom plus the siding yadayada.

What are the general next steps? We've never had a claim on the house before. So we're unsure really what to do. Do we just call contractors to get people out there and start doing estimates and schedule work or what does anybody have advice?

I have a friend and coworker, i've tried talking to her about this, but she won't listen. And just immediately changes the subject, and I don't want to make it into a big deal, because we work together and I don't want it to interfere with that. However, I find myself really starting to resent her. One she's always talking for me. Two, she always nose about whatever subject I'm trying to talk about better than me. When we first met, I explained what my master's degree was in. She had never heard of it a few months later. She was suddenly the expert on it. She's lecturing me about it, and it hasn't stopped. If I make a single comment, then she sits down and explains to me. How it really went and everything.

At work, we're supposed to get our work. Peer-reviewed, and I used to send it to her, but she would always make corrections, sometimes that were factually inaccurate, and if I tried to explain something to her, then she would make her own explanation for in her head and tell people that and then talk over me, explaining it to people even meetings. And if somebody called her on it being wrong, she'd be like, oh that's what op said. And it's like, no, that is completely wrong, and not what I said.

She has a habit of over explaining things to me even if i ask a yes or no question, it's like trying to talk to a man that wants to mansplain to you. And one day I was talking to her husband and he's like, oh yeah, so and so looked up all this information on your degree, and i'm assuming it's just so she could talk with you about it. And i'm just sitting there thinking, no. She looked it up so she could lecture me about how i'm wrong.And everything I went to school for to learn it. It's going to the point that she's making me feel just like a complete and total idiot about things. Cause stuff that I've spent years learning. She immediately comes in and tells me how wrong I am, in what I'm doing. And then explains it to me all over again, and even says it in front of other people who then think that she's right about it.

I'm getting real fed up with her. How do I get her to talk about this? Or should I just let it go and start ignoring her?
