I came down with panic disorder during my last years in college. My parents were gracious to let me stay at their home, and I've been here for almost 10 years. I haven't been able to keep down a job, and I have mild agoraphobia. I live in a country where good support systems for PAD are non-existent, and the best meds are anti-depressants I don't care to try. I've recovered on my own quite well to the point where I don't get the attacks anymore (only when really stressed). But, I haven't regained the confidence to move out on my own. My parents are too polite to kick me out, but I can feel that they are hoping that I launch soon. What do I do?

If some one says something nasty to one of my friends/family I get really angry and I really feel for them.

If someone says something nasty to me, and I confide in them coz I'm really upset, people just say "oh well never mind" or "oh dear." I dont feel like they really care.

I think this is because I'm booksmart but I have no common sense and I get things muddled up and often say silly things, so they think i'm a kid and treat me as a joke. I don't understand basic things sometimes and i'm worried people see me as a joke.

Do you think this is why people don't really bother with me when i'm upset?

Bush has gone on the record numerous times about wanting to spread "democracy" and "freedom" to the Middle East, and so he backs both the Fatah and Lebanese government in the process--and the peace talks with Israel.

Only...

Last year, Israel invaded Lebanon to try and take out the embedded Hezbolah contingent--with the US's blessing--and kills over 800 Lebanonese civilians and only a small number of Hezbolah fighters.

(All for democracy, right?)

Israel ends up with egg on its face in light of the embarassing defeat by Hezbolah, while Bush does nothing but pull financial support from the people of Lebanon because of what happened.

So Hezbolah steps in to give what the US refuses to dole out: Money and support in the ongoing reconstruction efforts--even though our government has labeled Hezbolah as 'terrorists'.

Basically nowadays people don't get enough exercise and many pay to exercise. If we could offer people free exercise and at the same time a way to help their communities would they do it? What I am proposing is using human power to turn turbines to create some energy. I know it wouldn't be a lot of energy but the benefits would be more than the energy produced. Imagine a place in a city where people interested in exercising could go and join a group of other people doing laps walking or running pushing a wheel. For the wheel to turn everyone would have to help out. This could be done in schools too. Kids to get a half hour of exercise a day turning the wheel. Okay it is a bit crazy. But could anythign like this actually work? Could enough energy be created by a school wheel to provide lighting for the school?

Hi,

I've recently used paid for a service via Paypal and I was wondering if the embedded paypal windows are secure?

For example: you visit the service provider, click on the paypal link which opens a new window with the providers' banner on the top and an embedded Paypal frame where you give your login, credit card etc. It says that the site is secure but some information is not ecrypted (it refers to the top frame - I hope!) :)

Any opinions? Thanks!

I'm taking off Weird Al who in turn was taking off James Blunt, so if you know the tune to You're Beautiful, you can sing this.



Your big delight
Saturday Night
Is watching Doctor Who.
You go nowhere
Don't wash your hair
You simply have no clue

You sit at home
With a silent phone
Just you and your PC
No need to chat
You've got your cat
You feel that you're so free.

The big mistake
You always make
Is thinking you're so cool
While those around you call you 'Fool!'


Chorus ....

You're pitiful
You're pitiful
You're pitiful
It's true
No-one could admire you.



You're Beautiful came on the radio and that reminded me of Weird Al's version and I thought I'd do my own. I think mine is a little harsher and not as comedic as Al's though.

What do you think?

I asked the question, But i want more answers. I met this girl and I am experiencing feelings i didn't know i could, I have never told any girl i love you except for her, and i deeply mean it with everything in me, She is 17 I am 18. We have been together for four months, I have butterfly's when I'm with her, I've never dreamed about a girl before, I have dreams of not sexual desires but of holding her, snuggling, watching movies, Walks on beach, talking, going to the fairs on rides, going camping.She is a virgin, I told her i was too, because i want her to have something so special like she deserves, and it was a complete mistake, about 8 months before i met her i slept with ONE girl ONE time. it was sex, i needed it out of my system, I didn't think I'd ever meet someone like i have. then i did. I regret it with everything i have. I don't even care about having sex with this girl, I Just wanna have her next to me always. If we did it would be making love. Is it ok to say im a virgin:(
