Last night i had a dream about my dad. He died last november but the dream was extremely real.

He was telling me that he is doing things that he wished he done when he was younger. He gave me a hug and told me things about my life and advice. After that there was a bright white light afterwards. The dream was longer than that but it would take to long to write it all down.

I also saw him in the dream come into my bedroom and say you two make a lovely couple, he was on about me and my fiance.
It was so realistic, and i woke up wondering where he was, it took me about 5 minutes to work out he was already dead.

Ive never experienced this before, anyone know what this means, its was wierd!

This really hot girl had a huge crush on me before and so did all of her friends but i didnt like her.... When we went to different schools, i decided to have a little fun and tell her im in love with her :) I've been telling her i love her and how much she means blah blah ... but i dont think she's getting tired of hearing this... and she'll even brag to her friends of how I call her at 3 am lol. (even though i only did that once!) I told this girl i never payed attention to in highschool that i want to ... *replaced* with "make love" the crap out of her everyday and marry her and all that =) ... How would you women feel if you were in her shoes? In the past I made her cry by like not going out with her so i wanted to just give her a chance to do the same to me ;)

if we understand or define costs as including fairpay for the workinput of owners, as well as employee costs, overheads, advertising, accounting, costs of materials [which are ultimately labour costs] etc, then profits BY DEFINITION have to be money for no work = injustice [legal theft or beggary] = overpay, causing wealth concentration, causing tyranny, ie, the destruction of democracy?
is it rocksolid that there is nothing to limit profits to fair return to owners? - ie, that, after they have been paid fair returns for their labour, there is nothing stopping returns to go in excess of this, which by definition are money for no work?
profits can be for reasons of scarcity, monopoly, etc which are clearly not money for work, & therefore must cause work for no money [= underpay, wageslavery, slavery, evergrowing injustice, causing evergrowing violence [= misery], necessarily escalative to extinction [selfmurder of 6-7 billion]
it is IMPOSSIBLE for there to be doubt of this - yes?

neither theoretical communism nor historical communism [after communism was hijacked by thugs] was anywhere near limited fortunes - limited fortunes is about getting back to democracy, liberty & justice for all - getting back to the american dream [& the idea of every wise person & the lesson of every bit of history] of just, limited fortunes, ensuring democracy, liberty & justice, peace, fraternity, longevity of the state
the enemy was wealth concentration - wealth = power, overwealth = overpower = tyranny
the founding fathers obviously understood that wealth concentration was inimical to democracy, freedom, safety, peace, law, order, everything good -
americans obviously didnt
now the american [& human] dream of liberty & justice for all, democracy, has been so hijacked by unlimited fortunes, that americans think limited fortunes has something to do with communism
the writing is on the wall for america, as for communism: the state built on injustice still cannot stand

I had heard about it. Now I experience the same. I do it with my wife. I love her a lot. Make love and satisfy her and then turn away from her and sleep. She wants me to sleep facing her at least but I unconsciously turn away and sleep. She feels bad. But is it with others too. Do men do it intentionally or carelessly? or it happens unconsciously / subconsciously? Views of men and women invited.

They discovered we were thinking about putting on a small addition, on our huge lot, which would be within codes, ie,
do not need their approval. They want us to move, are mean and are saying things to neighbors, especially when someone new moves in. Should I just ignore them, or bring it up to people I think they are telling lies to?

I'm 24, physically fit. I work full time and go to college at nights. And on the weekend and hang out and meet women, I try to stay very social...but lately.

I seem to have a better time with the woman in her 30's or even 40’s? for some reason in the back of my head, I keep thinking that they would not be attracted to me if they found out my age or if they were to find out my age, I’ll just be a name on a list for them to show there friends, is this true???? I think I need some clarity?...or any help would do?

Or should I be ok with females thinking that I’m a fling, or a name on the list…I mean, I’m still young?

Hi, first of all I'd like to know what makes a person a sex addict. I know it's something to do with pscyological problems, but are they dangerous and/or scary? Are they potential rapists? Please, this is not some adult content, I met one on the internet when he answered my question. So, I'd like to know what a sex addict is like and if I should be afraid of him. Your input and help are greatly appreciated.

One of my roommate's friends was visiting our dorm room tonight and he started wrestling with me. I didn't start it, but I pinned him down while my roommate put makeup on him and painted his fingers and toe nails. We even put hot rollers in his hair. We tied him up with an old pair of hose so he wouldn't run away. We need to let him go, but before we do should we help him get everything off, make him go with everything on, add more, or let him go only if he agrees to let us pick his Halloween costume?

I am doing a huge research paper on the social difficulties in interracial relationships. I didn't know how hard it would be to research this topic, but it is too late now. I would like to know if anyone knows of any credible resources because I need resources dearly for my paper! i am having a lot of trouble finding things mainly because I don't know how to search for them. I'd appreciate all the input I can get!
THANKS!

Anthony “Scott” Washington’s life reads like the pages of comeback-kid drama. This week, the 40-year old husband and father of four will take the Ohio bar exam. Rewind just 15 years and you will uncover an inspiring transformation that exemplifies the life-changing power that exists within the human spirit. For years, his life revolved around his gang, crack cocaine addiction, and habit-supporting crimes. Functionally illiterate with a rap sheet of 19 arrests, Scott Washington experienced a turning point on Easter Sunday morning in 1990. It resurrected his potential and changed the course of his life forever.

“I had been up for two to three days, drinking and smoking as much crack as I could,” recalls the Los Angeles native. “I had a five-week old baby, Scottie, and the baby’s mother, also a crack addict, walked out that weekend and never returned. Scottie would not stop crying and I began to fear that he was going to die.”

Holding the baby in his arms, he says, “I looked into his eyes, filled with tears and promised him I would never get high again. I apologized for tolerating his mother’s crack addiction during her pregnancy, collected my belongings and my beautiful baby boy, and headed for a life free of the burden of addiction, addicts, and social deviations.”

“I think what happened that day was a spiritual experience,” he says. “I don’t think it is just a coincidence that my turning point came on Easter Sunday.”

Estranged from his family, unemployed and unskilled, Scott called his mother. She had essentially disowned him years earlier after multiple attempts to help him get his life on track,. “My mother listened and then said that I could come home on the condition that I went through a rehabilitation program.” Scott joined Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and every day for months, he attended meetings and he always carried Scottie with him. It took three to four years before the urge for crack subsided, he admits, but he hasn’t touched drugs since that rock bottom day in April 1990.

Kicking his drug habit was just the first step to getting his life together. It would be a steep, uphill climb to create the kind of life and stability he wanted for his little boy. He needed employment, but with a criminal record, landing a job would prove a challenge. His father, a veterinarian, got him a job cleaning cages at an animal research facility. It was hard, unpleasant work, but it paid $25,000 and it was a start. His next opportunity crossed his path during an AA meeting. Someone from a local junior college football team invited him to come out and watch practice. While there, the coach asked him if he wanted to participate in practice the next day. Impressed by his physical size and abilities, the coach invited him to join the team as a fullback. Of course, that also meant he had to enroll in school.

He was 26 years old and starting community college. He took two to three classes each semester while working full-time. “For the first three years, all of my classes were remedial courses,” he says. In my first college English course, I was the only English-speaking person in the class.”

As it turns out, Scott was functionally illiterate. Introduced to drugs in the 5th grade, school had not been a priority. Now he had to make up for lost time.

Undeterred by his lack of college preparation, he was determined and says he thoroughly enjoyed education. “I was positive. I was in school! I had spent the last 10 years as an absolute loser. I felt great at this point. I had a three year old, I had been off of drugs for nearly three years. I was working and going to school.” Around this time, he also met and married his wife. A 19-year old student with two jobs, she was serious about creating a bright future. Together, they’ve done just that.

After five years, he earned an Associate of Arts degree with a 3.5 grade point average. He continued his education at California State University at Northridge. Despite a full-time work schedule, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Urban Studies two years later, graduating with honors and a 3.9 grade point average. Scott didn’t stop there. He applied to several law schools and was accepted and offered a teaching assistantship at the University of Dayton. In 2000, he and his family, including his wife, four children and his wife’s grandmother, moved to Ohio. He graduated from the University of Dayton School of Law in 2003.

“I wouldn’t be where I am now without my wife,” he insists. When he finally made it to law school, she supported the family while Scott pursued his law degree. “It takes so much to go to law school that I simply would not have been able to do it if not for her. She worked and took care of seven people.”

Although he graduated from law school, his application to sit for the bar was twice denied because of a prior felony conviction during his crime and drug days. He enlisted the help of attorney David Greer and a committee appointed by the Ohio Supreme Court overwhelmingly approved for him to sit for the bar in 2004. He takes the bar exam this week and will have to await the results. If his determination and resolve of the last 15 years is any indication, Scott Washington has a great shot at realizing his dream.

Currently a staff attorney in the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court in Dayton, Ohio, he also spends much of his time counseling young felons whose lives are strikingly similar to the life he left behind. His vision is to use his life experiences to have a positive impact on the African-American community. He speaks and motivates ex-offenders who are trying to transform their lives and offers five lessons that he gleaned from his own transformation:
