When you stutter, online ordering is the best! I know I shouldn't avoid, and I give you MAJOR props for doing that. I order food over the phone maybe once a year, if that. I totally understand how ...

Yeah, feeling that pressure in advance is a common thing (at least, I think we all recognize it). Avoiding these incursions may not be the best way of dealing with the stutter at large, though. We mig...
