I have a real hard time making and keeping friends. The group I go out with are a real laugh and we have a great time but the problem is I met them through my long term boyfriend. I need to make some new friends of my own and keep them interested enough to keep as mates.

Last night I dreamt that I was living through the end of the world, Massive hunks of burning rock were falling from the sky and the ground was shaking fiercly, it was very vivid but that is all I can remember.

Sometimes when I'm in the middle of a dream, I take note of some of the rediculous things that are happening, and I am somehow able to tell myself that I am dreaming. For example, I had a dream that was witnessing a gunfight with explosions in my high school, and In the middle of the dream I somehow determined that this was all fake and wasn't afraid to walk up right up to the gunmen and stop them. I think everybody has a lot of crazy dreams, but how come I don't always figure out that I'm dreaming until I wake up. How can my unconsious thoughts be controlled by my consious thoughts?

Just how low is the common denominator? Obviously this is but one example of the "dumbing down" (sic) of language.

How many of us even own a printed dictionary today? I wager not many do and further doubt many know what a thesaurus is.

With outrageous workman's comp. claims and healthcare costs, and Union induced cost of employing in USA, which really does not add to net income of average American worker, do you believe American workers have priced themselves out of market?

If you were a potential empoyee and you had a choice, what would yu do? Pay a high cost of workman's comp...for mainly trumped up claimes or outsource?

BTW, I am not an employer or a foriegn worker taking up American job. I am an American employed by American employee!

For years now, voter turnout has ranged from approximately 18 to 45 percent in a county that had to fight like hell to get the right to vote. Why don't they feel any need to validate the actions of the past?

I asked a similar question earlier and most people were happy with discrimination [just so long as it went against males]; so I just want to see if folks support all discrimination.

Specifically, if x, y, and z have a trivariate normal distribution, I am interested in E[x|y>a,z=b] and VAR[x|y>a,z=b] if a and b are constants. I have the formula for E[x|y>a] and E[x|y=a] for a bivariate normal distribution and was hoping there was an equally straightforward formula for the trivariate case.

This may be heavily difficult to answer, because I've tried most anything that I can think of.

I have tried the plan ahead approach, where I write the things that I have to do. It fails because I end up just staring at the plans, and actually not do anything.

Another is reward approach. This also failed me, because I tend to just take the reward anyway, in effect rewarding not doing anything.

I had also tried to start on a project for 15 minutes, but again, failed. It's really difficult to start, and even after I had started, I tend to space out and get distracted later anyway.

Also, I'm trapped in this complex situation where I can start quickly and may perform when "there is a whip cracking", and yet, I'm also unable to work well when there's somebody "hovering" around me.

I've heard some things relating to being a perfectionist ; i.e. not wanting to do anything because it won't come out "perfect". I'm not sure if this is the case, but if it is, how would I deal with this?
