E.g. For me it would have to be a voice that sounds like Elizabeth Hurley's or Joanna Lumley's. What about you?

According to a mickey mouse dream interpretation website...if they do it signifies

"To see your wife in your dream, signifies discord and unresolved issues"

To see your husband in your dream, signifies your relationship with your husband and the unconscious feelings you have towards him.

"To dream that you have a husband (but you do not in your waking life), symbolizes some sort of partnership and/or commitment. Often, it is also representative of the qualities of your father in which you projected onto this figure or the masculine side of your own personality"

Is this a crock or sh*t, or what?

If someone is having a go at you and being abusive then what is the best thing to say to them? (I know the old saying Just take no notice)
But what I need is a sentence to say to someone and politely tell them to 'go forth'
Any Pschological ways of getting around this?

Everytime I go into a chat room to have an intelligent conversation with someone it is usually full of people talking about sex and acting like teenagers who cannot control their hormones regardless of their age. Is sex over rated or are people so lonely these days that they use sex as a substitute for real communication.

I'd like to ask how you feel about people who show self-confidence. I mean is it a good thing to be self-confident or is it bad? Do you want to be around with self-confident people? Why or why not? What about you? Are you confident about yourselves? How do people react when they are with you? Thanks a lot for sharing.

If you make fun, ridicule or deride someone because of the colour of their skin, you will generally be considered by society as racist and rightly so. It is no longer acceptable to pick on someone because of their 'race given' appearance or something else personally intrinsic. In that case, why does this not seem to apply to another genetic, birth given traits like hair colour?

As a kind of sub-question, why does this prejudice only seem to really exist in the UK? To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't seem to be an issue in other countries around the world...

How is "If you get four more people to join this pyramid scheme you get this free" type of Amway thing wrong and baseless in the first place?

a) It is not your job nor should you be expected to "convert" or "procure" other people. You cannot interfere in another peoples affairs unless you have provided them a non-repudiable benefit to them that they would not have got, had it not been for you.

b) You should only be expected to do something that you are capable of, and that can be done by you independently without needing anyone else. If you are to do something then there must have already have been a benefit transferred to you in cash or kind that you would not have got otherwise.

Since MLM and chain letter concepts violate these two basic economic principles. They should be banned. So Amway must be banned.

How many people concur?

Ok, so let's say the heroine's name is "Kathy." She was once a poor girl, but when her well-bred Aunt took her in, Kathy became a lady. However, she falls in love with the one man her religious and well-bred Aunt hates--a gypsy man. When the gypsy propose that they run away together, what is it that makes Kathy reject the offer, no matter how much she loved the guy??? What is it that pulls her away from a free life?? What is it that imprisons Kathy to her Aunt??

Be creative!!
10 points for the best answer!!

I've dreamed in color only about 3 or 4 times that I can remember in my entire lifetime. Does dreaming in color have a special meaning?

Speaking on Australian TV Channel Nine's "A Current Affair" news program Wednesday, Greer described those who mourned Irwin's passing as "idiots" and said possibly millions of Australians were embarrassed by him.

I am kind of curious as to what people think.

My boyfreind said he had a confession to make and he made it last night, he told me he "likes the cockatoo". But there is no cockatoo anywhere near my house or anything. Should I check down the street somewhere or wait out to see if there is one coming in my backyard? Another thing is, I'm trying to understand his obsession with a bird, could he have just been playing?

Every since I was a child. My mother did it, my step father did it. Everyone in school has done it. All through life, through the military, in jobs, in public, through friends who have back-stabbed me. I can't figure out what I've done to deserve all of this. They say on the news that the terrorist breed hate in the middle east, but we do here in the good 'ol U.S of A. Why all the hate?
