My friends call me the white girl in the group because i listen to what they call "white people music." I cant help it I listen to what I like. I like to think of myself as liking all different types of music. I know theres nothing wrong with that but I cant help but wonder why my friends have such a hard time accepting my taste in music. Any opinions? Any similar situations?

Please allow me to pick your brain!

1) Why practice? Especially when it imposes on others? Can't God be found in your heart and mind? One time I read that Jesus said "lift a stone and I am there." That is very profound I feel. It means you don't need lavish customs, dress, meeting places or rituals to be true in your heart. Most people respond by saying such practices help them reinforce their faith, but doesn't that mean they can't maintain their faith on their own accord? It seems all to often that religous people go through the actions bc it's easy to do but spend no real time exercising a deeper introspection.

2) Focusing on an afterlife takes the focus off of this life. Please state something more profound than just saying "no it doesn't".

3) Do you think religons creat an in-group/out-group nuance to society?

Thanks.

After two years of being together,he explains it's not as when we first met. everytime i try to initiate sexual intercourse he claims to be tired or not in the mood. He also says, he's getting old. When i ask if there's someone else, he reasures me that's not the case and that he's just tired or he has moods. it makes me feel that he's borde of me in a sexual way or perhaps he is seeing someone on the side. but i am not sure, cos it's possible that i am parronoid too, as i am also a sensitive person. Otherwise, he's 38 and i am 31, we just got married and the love is definitely still there between us, so any advice from you lovely people out there?

My husband is constantly checking the computer and my myspace and going to every one I knows pages to see what I leave them for a comment.... and just in general whose page I look at.... I do have a lot of guy friends but I have never cheated and never considered cheating and never will cheat on him... I really do love him with all my heart and I wouldn't want to do anything to compromise our relationship.... but all my life I have had more guy friends than girl friends... I have even remained friends with a couple of my ex boyfriends... I see how the ex boyfriends could be a problem... because I realize that I wouldn't want him talkin to his ex... so I have slowly cut that out....He also checks my phone bill to see any numbers he doesn't know and where I made calls from... like what city and so forth... I'm talking to my friends and yea some of them happen to be guys... BUT everyone knows I'm HAPPILY married... is he trying to control me??? Or just start trouble??

A 43-year-old man with no significant medical history presents to his primary care provider (PCP) complaining of a "wound that won’t get better" on the left side of his neck. He states that the wound has been slowly growing over the past 2 years after it first appeared as a small pimple. In his efforts to heal the wound, he has used a variety of over-the-counter topical remedies such as hydrogen peroxide and triple antibiotic ointment; however, the wound has continued to spread and worsen. He was finally encouraged to visit his PCP when his brother noticed the now several-centimeters-long lesion (see Images 1-2). The patient denies having weight loss, fevers, or chills. He has not traveled during the past 5 years.

On physical examination, the patient is somewhat overweight. His vital signs are normal except for a blood pressure of 165/93 mm Hg. The examination of the head, eyes, ears, and nose is unremarkable. The patient has a 10-cm ulcer at the collar line on the left side of his neck. A homemade dressing that the patient had placed on this lesion contains a small amount of serosanguineous fluid. No lymphadenopathy and no masses are noted around the neck or in the armpits. The patient’s lungs are clear, and his heart rate is regular with normal heart sounds. The rest of the physical examination findings are unremarkable, except for numerous small hyperpigmented macules on the patient’s chest and back.

What is the most likely diagnosis, and what is the diagnostic test of choice?

Hi:

People who are asking questions that list multi psych diagnoses(maybe more than 2 or 3) are being well, I am not ridiculed is the correct word. I think a little too harsh maybe, but I hope you are understanding what I am trying to convey.

I have just read 2 postings that had responses make me feel badly for the person asking the question. It actually happened to me the other night and I was a little upset. I can only speak for myself and not others, but I felt belittled in my knowledge in general, knowledge in myself, knowledge in that I do not have a grasp on my illnesses because they never hear of someone with more than 2 maybe 3 psych issues and I should check with my physician and if my physician agrees with the multi diagnoses then I need a new doc because he is obviously wrong.

My grandpa was only 8 years of age when he was left in this world to fend for himself. Life was pretty tough, but through hardwork and determination, he managed to survive and even started a family later. He married my grandma and had a total of 7 children, including my dad. They didn't have much money (my grandpa was even robbed once), but together, this couple brought up 7 kids into healthy young men and woman. We are now a big family, and everyone is married and have a job. A pretty happy environment, and we help each other out...be it financially or emotionally.

My grandpa loved me a lot... he would always give me what I want, so long as he is able to accomplish it for me. He would pull me away when my mom canes me, even when I was wrong

I find that my grandparents have taught their kids the right values even as they struggle to support everyone in the family, and these values are now taught to us... their grandsons and daughters. Knowing this, my grandpa left the world in peace.

I've been having a lot of roach and fly problems in my house recently. I've also swatted many of them. I have noticed that I don't see any blood when I swat them dead. Just out of curiousity, I want to know if insects have any blood at all, and if they do, how come they don't bleed when they get swatted dead?

I visited Gettysburg for memorial day weekend and it's crazy to compare war then and war now. Back then soldier fought soldier. If they couldn't compete in terms of numbers or firepower, they retreated; rather then going after civilians of the other side. In that battle, at Gettysburg only ONE civilian died, and it was from a stray bullet through a door. Even the Japanese in WWII attacked a military target rather than a civilian one. Does it bother anyone that now in todays modern war against terrorism, we're fighting cowards who hide behind and kill civilians rather than fight face to face with our soldiers?

Can someone help? I have a Bruno scooter wheelchair that I got from my Mother in law. She only used it a few times before passing away and now we are paying for her burial. The family wants to sell the scooter and put the money towards the burial. Since my husband and I handled the arrangements we have to sell the scooter. Everyone in the family has a different price in mind. I figured someone out there should be able to help us agree on a price.
The scooter is in excellent shape, like brand new. It also has a brand new battery.

Dont get me wrong im all for womens rights but i opened the door for a lady the other day and she looked at me as though she wanted to spit on me and didnt say thank you - so my question is this -
does a man being chivalrous offend you?

does it make you feel inferior somehow letting a man help?


My intention was to simply hold the door open for her and had she have been a man i would have held it open anyway.

For the women...Do you consider sex a chore or a joy? And why...

For the men...Do your lovers want sex or do they tend to try to avoid it? And why do you think that?

I'm curious because so many women seem to not enjoy sex, I wonder why??

My history teacher just had a baby and is bringing her baby to school in a couple days. I am really close to my spanish teacher because we tell eachother everything and she knows my history teacher so I want her to come with me. I asked her and she said she cant because she doesnt trust her next class to be alone for a couple of minutes. How can I persuade my spanish teacher to come with me?!?

I've never heard of so many people stepping down to "spend time with their families".

It's fishy at best. What's your take?

Quick! The Stone Masons are coming and I want to resolve this before they get started, but noone can give me a good solution. Besides a freestanding screen, what can I do for privacy? I have moved into a house with a two-sided gas fireplace that you can see straight through from the sitting room to bedroom! (stone on sitting room side and marble/wood mantle on the bedroom side) I don't know what the builders were thinking...possibly that they would never have nosey children running around the house and that whoever might buy the house after they were finished with it wouldn't have children either.

my mom is in home care hospice ta home with me thee are nurses here 24-7 she may go at any time now - my question is this -

should i stay in the same building and get a 1 bd room when she does pass -- this is a not very nice section 8 building in a downtown area - it would be hard to budget it out every month but it could be done - i am on disability for severe migraines and only get 600 a month rent would be 150 or a tiny bit less -

i have a sister and father who also live in the same building
they are both very screwed up he is 78 is a manic depressive that doesnt take any meds for it and is also a compulsive gambler she is 47 and is a very bad drug addict that uses about 100 dollars worth of drugs every day with her one friend that buys it all

i have no real great prospects here but at least i would have my own place and not be at any ones mercy and under their rules and their roof i am 32 and single no children never married

the other choice is to go and live with
