I was babysitting my friend's little girl, and I put her down for a nap. Well, I went and laid down on the couch, while she was sleeping on her bed. I felt like i'd just drifted off to sleep, when I heard her crying. So, i'm trying to get up and get to her...but I could not move. It felt like I was literally paralyzed, and I couldn't open my eyes. So, in the meantime, I still hear her crying, and i'm beginning to panic because I can't get to her. Finally, after it literally felt like I had to wrench myself out of my own body, I was able to open my eyes and get up. So, I went into the bedroom to check on her, and guess what? She was still asleep. There were no tear tracks on her face, and no sign that she'd even moved from the position she was in when I left her after she fell asleep. Does this sound like sleep paralysis to you, or just a dream? Do people normally imagine hearing things when this paralysis occurs? Anyone ever experience this? How do you prevent it?

I hate it when people at work talk about other people, and they do it for the smallest things too. I am so so so sick of it. I feel like they just do it so they can get people to agree with them, just because they are offended, and instead of just going to the person and resolving it with them, they turn like 4 people against them. I am so sick of it. I totally see through it and I know there has to be a better way to resolve issues than resorting to these jr high behaviors. Am I justified in feeling this way? If so, does anyone have a creative way of telling people to shut up in this sort of situation? Thankyou :)

I

The European Union is the first comercial power and largest market in the World! it makes exterior purchases of 851 millions of dollars. Its gross internal product is equivalent to that of the U.S.
The European Union is our second commercial associate and the second source of direct foreign investment.
Mexico received 67.4 millions of dollars of direct foreign investment between 1999 and September of 1999.
Up to September of 1999 the almost 4 thousand companies having European capital represented the 23% out of the 17,521 direct foreign investment partnerships.

The commerce between Mexico and the European Union is less dynamic and the participation of the latter in the total commerce of our country has decreased because of the preferential treatment that both Mexico and the U.S. give to third countries.

..."Why do you HATE this person?" My bf doesn't care for him either. What do you think my bf was getting at? Why would he care if I said I hated this other person? Was he trying to pick a fight? Or maybe trying to be critical of me?

Hi,

My eyesight is not good enought to let me drive but I have always been interested in what it is like.

I can usnderstand why someone whould want to drive to get grom a to b, but I can't understand why someone would drive for 'pleasure'.

Also, what is 'joy riding is all about?. If I understand this correctly, surely this should be called 'death driving'?

Anything else you can tell me about driving?

Thanks

These incidents (there were more than 40 admitted offenses) were committed many years ago but sofaras we know this man has never received treatment of any kind. He is a known user and abuser of marijuana and is known to have inappropriate behavior with his grown daughter - standing in the doorway while she bathes, going to the bathroom with the door open, etc. I am very uncomfortable with him baby sitting my 14 month old grandson. I need to find some articles to read that impact upon this issue written by reputable psychiatrists or psychologists. Anyone know of any or have any experience with this type of problem?

My husband's son's step-son has some serious problems. He is suppose to be in 2nd grade but failed kindergarten 1 time and they wanted to fail him again. But my step son had a fit so they moved him up a year. When he was 4 he would kill cats,rabbits,baby chics,etc with his bare hands. My step-son laughs about it. However with all the research I have done I have found that many serial killers started out this way. This child scares me. I wouldn't be able to go to sleep in the same house with him. I have a very bad feeling about him. And everyone just ignores me when I tell them that children that start out like this are dangerous. This child was in trouble and sent to the office 4 times in the first week. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

For some strange reason Ive have 'Tarzan Boy' by 'Baltimora' in my head for the last 3 days. Ive no idea why. Its from the 80's If you dont know it check it out on youtube but dont blame me if you have the same problem. It was absolutly dreadful.
I might have heard on the the radio recently of something.
Its absolutly crap and is driving me insane. Short of seeking psychiatric help or spending time in a sensory deprivation tank can anyone help.
Who the hell was Baltimora anyway. In fact no dont tell me I already know too much.

gratitude too late

the dark bounded me to the chair
sitting with no sight in the black nothing there
alone if my thoughts weren't circling
around and around her sweet memories
in the old days when love was a touch
but then i didn't care to much
what was fortune in my hand
for now i understand
the importance in gratitude in being woman and man

please be honest, tell me how it makes you feel
what i could inprove on
what you liked about it
or anything.
