Needless to say, I don't fare too well at parties, since I don't go too much for idle chitchat. Instead, I like to get into intense conversations about subjects that interest me or else discuss some sort of deep emotional issue. In fact, one of the reasons why I like Y!A so much is because I get to discuss stuff here that I can't discuss with most people outside of the computer. Does anyone else here feel the same way?

We have lived in this Neighborhood for the past 14 years, along with 4 other surrounding Neighbors. The new, rental move on's, have lived here for about 6 months and they have called the cops on us 3 times because of our dogs barking. Now, when I mean barking. I mean anywhere from about 10min. to 40 min. They are little Pomeranian puppies just running around having fun. We are fed up with policemen coming to our door every 2 weeks, and when the cops do eventually come. They hear no dogs barking, not our dogs. Not any of their neighbors or ours. *The people on the opposite side also have about 4 dogs, who bark as well* And when the cops come, they tell us they don't hear anything and will leave a note on the report saying there was no sounds. So, what can WE do to stop this? It's really annoying and redundant to have cops coming. any suggestions?

how many of you are highly religous? How many of you are ethical shoppers or does cost win over ethics.

I guess what I'm trying to say is it about time that we stopped trying to raise money to feed the world and started boycoting products from certain countries in hopes that it will lead to better work conditions and pay? So that they may get themselves out of poverty.

I was pondering this abstractly...what do you think of the following? How would you improve it? What do you do?

Observe: be mindful of what you do and think back over the past day, week or year to learn from your past what went good and why.

Identify: for the things which went not so good, figure out the mistakes you made, identify the errors.

Modify: plan to do things differently in similar situations in future.

Write: write down a 'rule' to guide you away from repeating the mistake. The rule may not be always followed, but you are aware of it.

Remember: periodically review your rules so that you do not forget them!

I work part time in the afternoon, when i wake up, I'm usually not hungry and go to work without eating. When i get home at 4 i am straving a gorge myself.

I want to lose weight, would eating breakfast help me? I'm just really not hungry though.

Let me be the first to point out that I give polls little to no credence but have repeatedly seen people post polls here and some who do it almost daily.

I did find this to be of interest and for those who do pay attention to polls, do you only post them and pay attention if it heralds your side? Also, based on this poll, do you think that our Presidential election is going to be closer than most people think?

Clinton and Obama -- Drags on the Ticket?
September 23, 2007 12:44 PM
Very interesting Democratic poll, revealed in today's Washington Post, showing that GOP frontrunner Rudy Giuliani is more popular in key congressional Democratic swing districts than Obama or Clinton.
This would seem to show that despite enthusiasm among Democrats (and some in the media) for their candidacies, Obama and Clinton may not be as powerful in a general election match up as they may right now seem -- and in fact, may be a drag on the ticket in some areas, an argument Sen. John Edwards is trying to underline as he depicts himself as the more mainstream Democrat.
The Clinton and Obama campaigns dispute the findings, of course.

A recent survey by Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, however, showed Clinton and Obama trailing former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani (R) in the 31 Democratic-held House districts regarded as most imperiled in 2008, and even potentially serving as a drag on those lawmakers' reelection chances.
The poll was conducted in August but has not been previously reported. It paints a "sobering picture" for Democrats, according to a memo by Lake and Daniel Gotoff that accompanies the poll report.
Giuliani takes 49 percent to Clinton's 39 percent, while the former mayor's lead over Obama is far smaller, 41 percent to 40 percent. "Despite Obama's relative advantage over Clinton, both candidates are significantly underperforming against the generic Democratic edge in the presidential and even against party identification," Lake and Gotoff wrote.
The news gets worse for Obama and Clinton as one delves deeper into the survey.
While the average lead of Democratic House members stands at 19 percentage points in the 31 vulnerable districts -- all but two of which are part of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's incumbent-protection program known as Frontline -- that number sinks considerably when the lawmakers are linked to either front-runner.
"Some people say [your Democratic incumbent] is a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton and will support her liberal agenda of big government and higher taxes if she becomes president," the poll stated, before asking respondents whether they would still vote for their incumbent or choose a Republican candidate.
Of interest, these are Democratic pollsters.

I am going to court in three days asking the judge to let me re-locate with my children, I am so nervous. I left my ex-husband one year ago because of his addiction to pain killers. He has since got fired from his job and got injured, so he collecting disability and takes oxy-contin, and just had his girlfriend arrested for domestic violence. I graduated from a trade school, got re- married and landed a great job where I will be living and I have my whole family around me. He lives in a city alone with no family and he wants to keep kids since he is home injured. I have offered to drive kids to see him and I only get 40 more days a year with them, but he said no, and now were going to court. What do you think the judge will do?

P.S. I have an attorney and hes representing himself. I have primary physical custody now.

I am thinking of possibly getting my dog tested for allergies, so I can better control them. I am having him neutered soon and was going to talk to the vet about my options but I wanted to know if anyone has had their dog tested or done something similar. If so, do you know the cost of the tests. I would prefer the blood screen over the injections.
I am also going to ask the vet if there is any medicine that will help his itching and scratching more, bendreyl is not working.
If you have any insight or suggestion please feel free to comment. thanks.

One day while talking to my sister-in-law over the phone, I was giving her my viewpoint regarding the state of conflicting religions in the world and that we need to be sure to keep religion out of the political sphere and not mix the two. She is devoutly christian and took issue with me saying that this is a christian nation and that we have gotten away from it and need to go back to being so. After a bit, I told her that she was being naive. She got upset thinking I had called her stupid. I told her that I am naive/stupid about many things in life and that is so for us all and that there was no need to be upset. That was some three months ago and she won't speak to me now. I don't feel bad about this issue and really don't want to appologize for it is my contention that she needs to just deal with it...get a life as they say. How might you see this differently?
