I know that there are members of some religious groups who look forward to the End Times, because they can't wait for the flawed world we live in to be done away with and replaced by a perfect one. I think it's sad, really. Sure, our world is VERY flawed, but it's mainly because we make it that way. Our ozone layer is being depleted and our ice caps are melting, because we're too lazy and/or indifferent to really do anything about it. There are conflicts taking place around the world, mainly because some people can't think for themselves and as a result they support bad leaders who start the conflicts. I know the world will never be perfect, but it's the only one we live in. I say that we should focus on the here and now and try to find solutions to our problems rather than letting it all go to pot in the hope that the Apocalypse will take place.

I live in Detroit - and we have a station that from November 1st - Christmas plays ONLY Christmas songs ... i have to unprogram this station from my car when this time comes -- because if i hear any type of jingle it depresses me! ... i have never really had anything bad happen to me that would relate to Christmas - its just an automatic response!


Is anyone else like this?

I have been seeing a wonderful girl I've known for all of my life. We've only been dating for about 2.5 months.

For the first month I had major infatuation with her, since then it has gone down dramatically and somewhat turned into comfortableness. Sometimes I question my feelings for her because with every other girl I've dated the Infatuation has lasted a few months at least, but of course none of those relationships worked out.

When im away from her a lot of the time it scares me but I can feel the love growing inside me for her. When im with her im nervous half of the time because I think that im scared to fall in love with her in fear of what im getting myself into.

It also does scare me sometimes that the infatuation phase has somewhat faded away. Sometimes I miss that high of feeling constantly.

My past relationships have been terrible. I'm trying not to let them interfere with what I could have with her.

I believe im in love sometimes, and other times im unsure.

every time you think of the emergency number 911 you remember the events of 9/11.

i wonder if the date was chosen for that reason.

We have this cold war going between me and my brother in law ever since my sister got married 5 yrs back. Now they have a kid and I live with them. I try to do everything possible for him to talk to me but it is just not happening. He talks but he answers in such a rude way that one do not feel like asking him anything. I care for him but it seems like he does not care for me at all. So today I got a gift for my niece and he did not like it because he wanted to get the same thing for her. Now how would I know if he won't communicate with me nicely. I have to think ten times before asking him anything what if he will feels bad. Becos he is really moody and when he gets angry he closes himself in a room and won't even come out to eat or shower. He had done it earlier when I wanted to watch my channel and he got really upset. Whenever I go out i make sure I get him something but he never buys anything for me .I do not want that to happen as this is just not good. Please tell me what to do

My teenage son seems to have some problems.
When he was born, he lacked the willingness to live. My wife and I had to force-feed and make him sleep because all he would do was cry all day long. His health has improved and he is alive. However, we have always been confused about him. Although he smiles and laughs sometimes, there has always been this feeling of death that seems to come out of him. His personality isn't clear and we are still uncertain of what kind of person he really is. He lacks motivation and will power.
We decided to accept him because we believed that it was just part of his personality. But, since he is the most talented and intelligent child in our family, we feel like it would be a waste for him to have this sort of dead attitude. We sometimes scold him for this and tell him how ashamed we are that even though he was born with all these gifts and talents, he doesn't seem have the driving power to make him succeed. Recently, his younger brother told us that

The whole deal has been bad since day one. They didn't do what the contract stated they would. There are two sets of closing papers. The closing took place more than a month after it was suppose to. They were to leave my first loan in place, but went and paid off my loan without my knowledge and are trying to get us evicted. We still don't even have all of the monies due us. I need to find an attorney who can represent us. We have some money, and we can also barter and trade if needed. This has been an underhanded deal from day one. Please help us save our home.

Its just a chicken from a spit you can get for a fraction of the price in a supermarket. Plus salad and hot sauce.

And dont even get me going on Pizza Hut.

And I dont know what Colonel Sanders is grinning about. A breast and a thigh? When I were a lad you could insist on two breast portions.

What kind of world is this? Etc

What can i do to make my cat more affectionate towards me? he is 6 1/2 months old and neutered. I've had him for 3 1/2 months now and i wanted a cat to watch tv with, pet, and hold and its not happening and it is frustrating. when i go to pet him and he is standing up, he will lower his bottom so the my had slides off of him and he walks away! If he is laying down and awake and i go to pet him, he will get up and move not far away and then lay back down and licks the exact spot i petted him on. As if to say "im washing your touch off of me"!! I don't know what this means but every time i call his name his tail flops/moves...is he aggravated that I'm even calling him??? I really can't belive it. I call anyone elses name..tail relaxed. Call his name..it moves fast. It makes me so mad and it hurts. I got this kitten because i was depressed and he's acting like this? That sure doesn't help me at all.

Anyway...what can i do? I've never been a cat owner before so this is all new to me.

I used St. Ives apricot face scrub and had a major acne breakout and allergic reaction, so I stopped. However, I also used St. Ives wheat moisture body wash and saw red blotches on my arm. Evil!!
Can anyone recommend a body wash that wont destroy my skin, but smells nice at the same time?

Recently I accidently hurt someone (nothing major), it was an accident and I was still arrested and cautioned.
When I asked why? it was because I had to take responsibility for my actions however accidental they were. The charge being "assult without intent"

So my question is why are the police killing people and hurting others and not being arrested and charged?

Would it be ok to put 5 Tinfoils in a 55 gallon tank until spring when I get a 90 gallon? These would actually be Red Tailed Tinfoils (Barbonymus Altus) not the true Tinfoil. They max out at 8 inches rather then 14. The ones I would like are about 4 inches right now.

I had blood work done about 2 months ago. Doctor told me liver was normal & so was everything else he checked for too (thyroid etc.) but I still get frequent symptoms of headaches, feeling lethargic & nausea. I told him about the headaches and he suggested I try a night mouth gaurd to see if that helps get rid of them. I tried one of the store kinds that you heat in boiling water for a minute or 2 then mold it to fit one's mouth but it didn't work, I still get the frequent headaches, have a bad headache right now :( and I still get the fatigue and nausea too. I noticed these symptoms all started when my digestive issues started and at the same time I was having gallbladder issues. I didn't know it, but at the time I started to get all my symptoms my gallbladder had become blocked with gallstones & was causing severe sharp pains frequently esp after eating fried foods. My gb was removed but I still get the headaches, lethargy & nausea. Could these be due to having a liver problem?
