I had an elaborate dream the other night involving a musical number and very detailed setpieces. And I remember in the dream thinking: this isn't how it was done before, before they did it like - Oh! now they're doing it right. This has happened before, where during the dream I can recall having had the dream in the past, or upon waking I recall having had the dream in the past.

It doesn't happen often, but is it unusual? Have any others experienced this? The dreams don't recur on successive nights, so it isn't related stress causing them to repeat. Often there are months or years in between recurrences.

About a year ago I found a cute flash video demonstrating graphically and pictorally changes in global inequality and poverty throughout the last 50 years. It was well done and you could stop it at any time and click on specific countries for more information - you could also fast forward and rewind to see how the percentiles changed over the years. I am desperate to find it again but I 've lost the link!!!

of them things. Has anyone used them on pubic hair? Ouch, for sure.

Gave one to my niece years ago. Don't think she liked it and never asked where or how much she used it.

Seems like it would be like waxin but a lot slower.

If your into torture it might be a way to go. Just being curious again?

It's usually understood that LOVE is sacred thing and LUST is bad behaviour or trait while both had the same utimately goal. That is, to get someone. To be with someone. Regardless of different wide spread and generally accepted and published definations of love, it still has the same hidden desire or longing as does lust. It's universal slang that " All Is Fair In Love And War". So it means that anything can be done , right or wrong, fair or unfair, just or unjust,moral or immoral to get somebody. Why?
LOVE IS A DESIRE TO BE LOVED. One very philosophical explanation of deep seeted desires of being someone , to be caring and be cared, sharing and being shared. So is it pure or sincere thoughts or set of thinking? If both have common goal and longings then why is one thougt to be sacred and the other non-sacred?

ive got new ideas to see things differently, changes to make the planet imporant and still have the goodies we all want. it would only be a change of though and then a small action to re direct the energies of our population. the pollies and big busness wont do anything but squeeze more out of all of us

I feel sometimes that I'm alone. I have many friends and we meet and talk on internet or physically. I'm not married and I don't have intensive intimacy with anyone. I live with my famliy, I study and I work but I feel as if the life is withered. I think making intimacy with a good girl might solve my problem but I don't really have enough time and actually a good choice to do so. I'm asking if there is an alternative or any possible solution for my sadness.

I dreamed that my sister was drowning in a huge pool, and I couldn't swim deep enough to save her. She was shouting instructions on how to help her. She is 4 years younger than I am. She was recently divorced and has 3 teenagers. I am single, and I live 2,200 miles from her. We are among 10 siblings. Anyone got any ideas?

“The Three Essentials of Life”






There were times when you looked at me
When you were all I could see.
What happened to the times when nothing else mattered?
Now I am in a thousand pieces with my heart shattered.

The friends I thought I had are now gone.
I sit in my room away from everyone, withdrawn.
Gone from the world, departed from my soul, shun from everyone I know.
Now that it is all over, you no longer have to put on a show.

Family, the ones I thought I knew the best.
Each night, I lay my head down, thinking I am blessed.
Even they can slip right though your hands, gone forever, never to be seen again.
Just thinking what you would do to see them again is such an emotional strain.

As I sit by the window sill, watching the rain fall,
I realize that in this huge world, I feel incredibly small.
Knowing that you are gone it kills me inside.
In all actuality I am alive, but really, my soul has died.

There are only a few people in this world you can trust.
Just a second is all it takes for them to disappear like dust.
When that bond breaks, and your soul has been deprived,
Sometimes, it’s a wonder I have survived.

Although there are times when you don’t get along,
No matter what happens, families shall always stay strong.
When you think of home, a sense of warmth should come to mind.
A place where you can sit by your window sill, watching the rain fall, and unwind.
