My family has never found out about the abuse i suffered at the hands of my father and my cousin. It began when i was 2 and lasted till 3rd grade when my mom divorced my dad and my cousin committed suicide. Growing up my family always just considered me the "bad seed," and never really tried to figure out why a 2 yr old would begin acting the way that i did. I didn't straighten myself out until around 18 years of age, I worked through the feelings about my abuse and have moved on.

I want to share with my family what I went through so that maybe they can begin to understand who I am a little better, but honestly do not feel it is my responsibility to help them through the feelings they will inevitably have about the abuse and myself. I don't feel it is my job to help them, they never helped me. Is this selfish of me, should I share with them and make myself available to talk about their feelings or keep it to myself and let them continue to think negatively about me?

Hi, this is really scary now. i had aphone call from my midwife today saying that i need my blood test to be repeated. i asked why and she said that B/T came bak positive for hBV. I have no idea how I could i get it as I've been with my husband for 4 years and i'm 100% sure bout him. We have never done any drugs in our life, so hepatitis sounds quite a big surprise for us...
Do you know anything about it?
Am I right thinking that if I have been tested positive it might mean that i have antibodies but i don't have active virus.?
How will it affect my baby?
I dont have any symptoms whatsoever... nether my husband does..
I have repeate test and awaiting for results...
Thanks a lot in advance

Maybe a silly or childish question .... this is what I was told when I was growing up. My cat is getting old, I'm not sure how much longer she will make it and it's breaking my heart to think that she is going to just cease to be. :.o(

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

I am a novice in researching Christianity but I have formed some opinions. I have also accepted a belief in the existence of the old Hebrew God, Yaweh and his son Yeshua and the basic Bible story and time line.

However, the Bible which Christianity stands by, whatever version, is fundamentally a collection of books, letters, verses, psalms etc etc written by various people over a spread of time. The New Testament came into being I am told by Constantine forging Christianity as the official religion to pacify his Empire, intergrating other religious beliefs and customs.

Constantine effectively was the editor and publisher (?)

So, how can we trust that the presentation of the Bible is as God wanted? It's a bit like an author writing a book and selling th film rights where the film is pretty much a different story, at least a different message, but the general population take the film as being the true original story.

What texts were left out?

A woman I have known over the years has always had a passive-aggressive mean streak to her, but I believe people are usually good at the core, even if they don't know how to express it. I think I am wrong in this assumption.

After not seeing her for a long time, she got in touch with me and I invited her to a dinner I was organizing at a local restaurant for five friends. She accepted. Within a week she complained the start time was too late - I foolishly accommodated her. Over the next few days she objected to the chosen restaurant - an inexpensive local Chinese restaurant. Too bad, my friends have budgets. At dinner, she attacked me in front of my friends because the restaurant was not very classy and wasn't I afraid that this reflects poorly on me. Wow.

That's the last of many straws. However, I previously invited her to a dinner party I'm hosting out a house outside the city (so I'm hosting her for a weekend in the country at no cost to her).

How do I un-invite her?

It's kind of a rediculous question. Anyways, I've been married for 4 years now and a lot of my cousins and friends who got married after me either have kids already or are pregnant. My husband and I are not completely ready to have kids yet, but sometimes I feel bad when I am around my friends and family because they have kids and I don't. I want kids but not right now. Why do I feel this way?

while they're van was refueling, this punk band got out of it and simply started being themselves. when their Road Manager went in to pay, the lady behind the counter said, "you know...it's really nice of you to be taking such good care of those retarded boys."

who was the band?

*no, it most certainly was NOT emo-punk crap like Green Day, FOB or MCR, but i forsee those answers coming, anyway*

According to my other question on http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070911091726AAOgkD4&r=w
Im sorry, I did not give you enough information about myself. I was born deaf and I LOVE loud sounds. I have several semi-auto rifles. I understand the "too powerful" rifles like .300, 375 H&H, or higher aren't necessary for hunting deers, but I need to know the BEST rifle on the market. So far, I only know 7mm Browning rifles are the best. I'm not worrying about how expensive ammos or rifles are going to cost me.

Thanks!

I consider my boyfriend very attractive. But almost everyday after he gets home from work he tells me stories about female customers hitting up on him and flirting w/ him at work. Could he be lying just to make me feel how lucky i am to be w/ him? Could all his stories be true??
