are their haunted places really scary and intense or really just a good laugh?

Why is it that something that's clearly fake, that requires a suspension of disbelief can cause us to have a stronger emotional reaction than many things that happen in real life? Why are movies & plays & fake events like "professional wrestling" so powerful over our emotions?

It is 1975, and you are one of the directors of a company that makes transistors. Among the many companies with whom your company has a contract is one that makes heart pacemakers.

Pacemaker technology is in its infancy. When doctors implant a pacemaker, the patient's normal heartbeat is disabled, and he or she relies entirely on the device. If it fails, the patient's heart stops. At this time, doctors are not very skilled at installing the extremely delicate pacemakers. There is even a story of a person yawning deeply, pulling the pacemaker wire in his chest, and dying.

After that and many similar incidents, the board of directors begin to reconsider whether your company should sell to the pacemaker company. Members of the board feel this situation is a major lawsuit just waiting to happen and your company, as well as the company to whom you supply the pacemakers, will be liable. In addition, you feel the specs the pacemaker company uses to test the transistors are not very strong.

Several members of the board want the company to get out of the business before it's too late. The rationale presented to the pacemaker company representatives is protection of the company's assets and stakeholders - liability for this product could result in the company's demise. The pacemaker company representatives respond - "You can't stop selling us the transistors. You are the sole remaining supplier for us. Everyone else has backed out for the same reasons you're giving. If you don't sell us the product, we'll go out of business. Pretty soon, no one will be making heart pacemakers, and many people need them. Without the pacemaker, people don't even have a chance."

You take that information back to the board for another round of discussions. Finally, the chair of the board says, "OK. Let's make a decision."

What do you decide and why?

I don't like myself at all. I don't know where I'm going with my life. I'm extremely depressed. Now ive gotten to the point where I don't even want to be happy anymore. The only reason that I want to get up every morning and go to school is because of a girl that I like. She likes me, but nothings happening. I'm not really good at anything. My grades f**king suck. I hate myself. I don't really know why anyone likes me. I want to kill myself, it seems that only then will anyone truly appreciate me. I know I'm depressed. I'm scared to talk to anyone about it. I hate talking to my family, so I can't talk to them. Everytime I feel sorry for myself I think about all the kids who have it much worse than I do, but then I feel like an a$$hole for pitying myself, which lowers my self esteem more. I need help.

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they
carried us.



They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.



Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored
lead-based paints.


We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took
hitchhiking.


As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.



Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.



We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.



We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE
actually died from this.



We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but
we weren't overweight because

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back
when the streetlights came on.



No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.


We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the
bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no
99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell
phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat
rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't
had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They
actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers
and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!


And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!


You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.

and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

My orthodontist name is Jerome, how would you pronounce this? Is this another form of Jeremy?

This seems like an odd question, but he has never actually SAID his name to me and I have been curious if it is simply Jerome, or it is spelled similar to this.

i just saw a pic of my mate in black and white, EXCEPT for her dress, and fake blood, which still appeared red on the pic. i was asking her how she did that as i thought it really looked awesome, but she just won't spill.

can you do that straight on a digital cam, or do you need to install a programme on the computer to do that thing?

I was 4 weeks pregnant and I misscarried today. I not only feel like I lost apart of me but I feel I lost apart of my husband and most of all my child. I was not prepared to be a mother when I first found out I was pregnant but I acclimated to situation really fast. I had a love for my unborn child that I cant explain. Now I want back what I once had. I know I can always try again but I dont know if I should wait until I feel financially prepared or if I should try again. The question is, when will I ever feel financially stable. I may find myself waiting forever. I am 24 and I have been married for almost 2 years but I have been with my husband for 6. I own my own home and am a year away from getting my bachelors in Business Management. I feel I have all the crudentials I just want to be able to give my child the world. Am I ready? Will I every be ready, and if so, when? What should I do?
