This might be a woman thing but I have always been really good of thinking things and then they happen right from out of the blue whether it be I think of someone that I haven't seen in awhile and then they suddenly come back into my life or like today when I was at the store a picture entered my mind of my son dropping a jar on the floor and it shattering and then of course it HAPPENED. Another instance is when I was driving one day and thought to myself what a bad place for my tire to go out and then right then IT DID!! It has happened WAY to many times for it to just be coincidence, what do you make of it?

I went out on a friends hen night recently (that’s a bachelorette party for anyone outside of the UK) and after many hours of drinking, dancing and stumbling around town failing to find a taxi, the evening finally ended with a group of us squatting down in an alleyway for a much needed pee! I mentioned this in passing to some colleagues at work when we were discussing our respective weekends, expecting them to find it a humorous incident, but instead they reacted with disgust at my ‘unladylike conduct.’ The colleagues in question were male. Since their attitude is pretty clear, I would like to know what other women think of what I did and, if they have ever done the same thing after a night on the tiles, how people responded to their behaviour?

Then Paris Hilton will scream at you, two inches from your face, and yank your pants down every fifteen minutes for eight hours. Finally, Mike Myers, playing the role of Fat Bast**rd from those Austin Powers flicks, takes diarreah in your face every fifteen minutes for eight hours (after eating at Taco Bell). All of this is on live TV; the celebrities take turns and this goes on for 72 hours, after which you get 100 million, cash money. You cannot fall asleep or lose your temper or even speak at any point, or you lose. Will you go for it?

Introverted attention deficit disorder

Sometimes, I get bored easily. Especially when people speak mindlessly or drone on and on. And instead of being hyperactive, I look within for entertainment. I think about old jokes. I ask myself "what if" questions. I plan things out. I think about where I'd rather be. Anything to keep me entertained. I'm trying to write a novel and capitalize on this trait of mine. Do I have IADD or am I just a run of the mill daydreamer?

I'm a loner and a psychology student with aspirations to be a counseling psychologist. I've got a near perfect GPA in my major. I'm curious about people and how I can help them. People tell me I'm insightful and a good listener. I just don't need to be around people as much as most, and I enjoy my solitude. A few people have said its hypocritical for a loner like me to want to be a psychologist. That I'm not involved enough with other people to truly understand them. What would you say?

The person will be allowed to break into your house some night--you won't know when--in the next year. In the meantime, you must continue to work and conduct yourself normally. When the stranger beats you, you won't be too seriously injured, but you will have to stay in the hospital for a week (no charge to you). The stranger has a key to your house, but they will not harm your loved ones, just you. You do not get the 100 million until the beating/hospital stay has concluded. In the meantime, you're a frazzled bundle of nerves. Will you go for it?

You can hang out with whomever you like on your own time; however, when you go to either dinner or the movies, for the rest of your life, you must take the mannequin and treat him or her like your date (You can never take your spouse or your mate). Anyone who questions this must be treated with shock, and you cannot explain why you are taking the mannequin to TGI Friday's or to see "You, Me, and Dupree." Will you go for it?

I feel that sometimes my memory isn't as good as it should be for my age, I'm in my early adult hood and there are certain things that I can remember accurately but other things that I wish I could remeber but can't seem to accurately remember them. Especially when it comes to critical thinking, like mathematics-I love math, but sometimes it seems like anything I learn one day I seem to forget the next. Any advice on an activity that will help refresh my memory would be great. Thanks.

It seems like the justice system is more concerned with punishing criminals than rehabilitating them. But from what I've been reading, it may not be all the criminal's fault in a lot of cases. For example, a lot of violent offenders meet the criteria for antisocial personality disorder, which is often the result of childhood trauma. Some "super males" are born with an extra chromosome that increases their testosterone, which leads to heightened agression and lessened inhibition. And a lot of people in jail are drug users who just got caught with their drugs before they could use them. And a lot of them are genetically predisposed for addiction. And list goes on.

In light of these things, should jails be more like mental hospitals and prisoners more like patients? I can't help but wonder if that would be a more effective way of dealing with criminals and turning them into productive citizens.
