One day I was listening to loveline with Dr. Drew and Danny Bonaducci. Drew asked Danny what he looked for in a woman? Danny said he valued kindness the most in a woman. Drew then responded saying that Danny was codependent for holding kindness in higher esteem than any other virtue.

Also my mother throws the term around like candy even though she has very little education and can't hold a job. I understand codependence as someone who allows another "loved one" to continue a drug/alcohol addiction by giving them money and allowing them to not have a job, etc.

Is my deifnition too strict?

I'm an avid dreamer. When I dream I rarely dream of any person I personally know. I have three kids, family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. and it is very rare that I dream of any of them. Those in my dream, I seem to know them in my dream state, yet in real 'waking' life, I don't know them. I find this odd.

If you dream much, do you usually dream of those you really know or are those in your dreams usually strangers.?

For example, is listening to certain types of music more closely related to for example, suicide, depression, divorce rates, bankruptcy, teenage pregnancy, single motherhood/fatherhood, or prison time. I would be very interested in seeing a study that shows x% of people who get sent to prison listen to ____ music. For example, rock, country, r&b, rap, etc.

if my mom were to do this i could never forgive her why do ppl have to be married? why do women feel so alone w/o someone? she says she's afraid of being alone and sick especially when she's old and i will take care of her i said i would but no she has to go back to him how could my mom do this to me? just thinking about our old house (bot even him) makes me feel 'ughh' even when i lived htere and he wasn't there it seemed bad. especially on the weekends it just felt like such a sick feeling i felt like that when i woke up. but i don't feel like tht here. i know this all probably soudns abnormal but my dad was an *** to me my whole life. even my aunt who visited us says i'm much more confident this time(which isn't true) and happier(thts true 4sure). if she goes back it's like idk there'll be no life 4 me. sad at home and no friends to make me feel better or understand. at least i'm a lot happuer at homw now. i don't get picked on this yr but still ui'm a loser w/ only one friend and

i don't even know if she likes me sometimes. well skools totoally out of the situation. sry this is really long. i wish my mom was never stupid enough to marry my dad in the 1st place. why would you marry sum2 u know nothing about! and y wud let it happen if u know how my dad is (my uncle on my dad's side proposed it). i cud go to my grandma's house and she said i cud live with her. she sympathisez w/ me eeven though she relly likes my dad blindly like every1 else knwoing how he's treated me especially when i was a little kid. u know wut when i heard sotries like when all ym older cuz's (even the one on my mom's side!) were little they would be afraid of him and would become quiet and scared and **** when anything concerning him wud happen. my cuz used to (idk if she still does) hates him and she's not tht little she's a teen! she's the onyl one who saw him 4 wut he really was. see wut i mean even if he did change i'd be miserable.

(i know her). sumtimes i wish i cud go bak in time and make sure my mom wudn't do this. even if she didn't get married and me & my bro wudn't exist. (God i feel so abnormall for the way i feel inside mayb cuz i've been told tht so much 4om my mom for ahting my dad and other famiyl ppl) if she were to go back i swear i'd never e happy agian as long as i'm there and i'd probably never ever talk again either to any1 or hardly to show my mom wut she's done to me (well i'd be sad naturllay anyways no need to fake it) and i'd never fprgive her for it. i'd rather forgive my dad. i won't hate her but i'll be mad at her 4ever. i just wish i could die right now and go to heaven..i don't ever wanna live w/ him again wut should i do?

Did you have one or multiple instances of deja vu? I've had a feeling of deja vu many times. Like in 5th grade i had a dream that we would learn about geometry but the teacher was different. The next day i completly forgot the dream and then last Friday (a year after the dream) i had feeling of deja vu in my 6th grade Math class were my NEW teacher was telling us about angles in our geometry unit. Tell me about your experiences with deja vu. The one with either the most instances or the most interesting answer gets the 10 pts.

It started when my neighbor hired this homeless guy to help him move out. Now the guy comes around every day or two begging for money. He rings my doorbell until someone answers.
Today, i was laying down because I had a headache and he started ringing the bell. I knew it was him because he just continously rings. I didn't get up since my head was hurting. After a couple of minutes, the guy OPENED my front door. which I guess I forgot to lock when I came in from shopping this morning. Of course when I heard that, I immediately jumped up and started yelling at him. I ran toward the door to keep my inside cat from getting out and ran out onto the porch to find him before the cat got in the street. Needless to say I was very pissed off and yelled at the dude. I think he was scared. He just walked off but now I am wondering if he is going to be laying in wait for me sometime when I leave or will try to break in when I am not here. Any suggestions?

I'm a 24 year old, single female graduate student and I'm never been confused about so many things in my entire life. Part of me wants to be independent but the other part of me would love to start a family. One day I love the perks of being an adult and the next day I long for the bliss of childhood. I'm not sure what to do or if what I'm experiencing in normal. I could used some words of wisdom from anyone one on how to make it through this stage of life unskaved. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Well, this is what happen...i go to a private school and i work in the Covent next to the school as a receptionist. There is a cook who works there also, he was very nice man to me at first. You know. But, then one day i went in the kitchen to heat up my lunch, and he said some very inappropiate things to me, that i will not repeat. Well, I told my parents and my father was very upset, we told the school and anyone else who was in high authority. They told us that he has been there part time for 8 years and this has never happen before. Now, keep in mind i am african-american he is african american also. He knows that i am sophmore in highschool, because only students can work in the convent as receptionists. He also works part time with my aunt, and he has also sexually harrassed girls at her job also, that were 16,17, and 18. I go to a prodominantly white private school, is this a race issue. Would they have done something if I was white and he was black? What should I do?

I am a healthcare professional. Unfortunately, our business has to deal with people who are just downright rude or take offense when they don't get their way. In healthcare, the customer is NOT always right and there needs to be an aura of professionalism. However, lately, I find these characters bringing me down to their level of settling a dispute. How do you argue sensibly with people who resort to jeuvenile tactics when they find themselves with no valid argument to begin with??
