I'm 27 years old and my friend was 25. I knew him since I was 2-3 years old and I really can't explain why he died (he had cancer and died after 1 month he knew).

In the past few years, my best friend since childhood has started to go through personality changes which can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours. While she is generally extraordinarily intelligent, charming, and one of the most genuinely sweet people I know, during these phases she is the epitome of emotional coldness. She says she can't feel anything but scorn towards those closest to her, and acts purposefully to hurt them during these phases. They only come about once a month, and it is usually her boyfriend of 2 years who gets it the worst, even though she is otherwise adamant about how wonderful she thinks he is, and demonstrates it on a daily basis. She is never violent or excessively angry during the phase - just cold, derisive, and cruel. After she "snaps out of it" she apologises and cries, and returns to her sweet self until this happens again.

Has anyone heard of this or witnessed anything like it before??? Please help!

Yesterday (there's a song there somewhere) I was on cloud nine and I saw one of its inhabitants...(like... there's no one quite like her round where I live), today I feel as though I'm in an empty room ...I feel lost.... I can feel all those miles we are apart. Can anyone empathise with this kind of feeling.

Sitting here listening to Queen's "I want it all" I got to thinking about that. We all just assume we can't have it all, because we are told we can't. So I wondered if there could be a world where there were lots of drive in theaters, hamburger joints, fast cars and cheap gas. Thomas wolfe said we can never go home again. What if he is wrong? Construct a world where all the things you love exist and you are truely happy. Fantasy you say, maybe, just maybe Autism. Sci Fi calls it parallel universes, religion calls it heaven. Really think about the old saying, a dogs life. Watch dogs for a while and then tell me they don't live better than us.

I have had hundreds of jobs, but the few I've really liked didn't last long. I liked working in a hospital as a phlebotomist(blood drawer), but the politics of the job kicked me out. Then, I rode racehorses for a few months (I have 20+ years experience riding)and after falling off 2 times I'd had it. I went through 3 years of pre-nursing and once I was in the program, I dropped out just before mid-term of my first semester. My husband has a good prospect of a good paying job, paying enough so I wouldn't have to work and can't understand why taking care of the house, him, and my daughter is not enough for me. HELP!!!

With all of its wealth, land and billions being given out for year-end bonuses, why can't America create homes for its homeless. Why does anyone in America outside of the drug addicted or mentally instable go without food or shelter?

In short, she told my cousins when they were younger (she never did it to me) that if they touched their penises too much, they would fall off and then they would become girls. My cousins were scared sh-itless. I thought it was sick. What do you think?

A friend says that 60% of people who join AA leave after several weeks, or less than a year anyway, mostly because they go back to drinking. Is this true? Does this figure include people who come to one meeting and don't even join because they are told they have to quit all alcohol?

Some people have found AA highly beneficial but are they typical? Does AA 'work' for more than a small minority of alcoholics? By what criteria or on what basis do you say yes or no?

Is there any scientific evidence on the worth of AA?
