I had a dream where I was talking to friends, and I looked down and tiny black insects were burying into my arms, and I could see them under my skin as they moved up my veins. Scared the poop outta me, am I a mental case?

I am not easily discouraged, but throughout my years of being an engineer, i've been told that I would not make it. Even my own boyfriend discourages me. He said "if you really wanted to be a programmer, you would've done so as a kid when you first got a computer. Otherwise, you won't make it". I know exactly what he means: you really need a passion to stick to it. However, it seems like men are more readily tuned to dish this sort of discouragement out to females.

I am smart, most likely tougher than you, and I absolutely adore spending 16 hours in a library. learning is my passion. I'm just very upset that he would discourage me so much from even GIVING it a shot.

What do you think? Ladies: have you had this problem? Men: Comments and questions?

I flipped the lightswitch. The light did not turn on, and the light switch was glowing green. How come they don't work in dreams. I would think that they can work becouse you can do anything in a dream.

When I was really depressed (for about 2 years-- butI found peace with God so I feel much better), I feel like I hurt a lot of people. I didn't pay much attention in class, and I didn't turn in a big homework assignment. I feel like I hurt my teacher, the teacher seems to want to keep distance with me and looks sad when he sees me. Things with my family are fine, but mostly with people at my school are not. What can I do to show that I'm sorry?

How do you feel about getting revenge on a person or person(s) who have hurt you or your family? I'm not talking about pussyfooting about putting grass seed on carpets and damaging cars, I'm talking hard hitting PAYBACK. Anybody waited for a while and got someone back or just went straight for it? Inflicted serious damage? How did you feel... satisfied or sorry?

All ancient cultures basically began at the same place, a small group of people in an environment separated from other groups by location but access to most of the same raw materials, so why did some develop at quicker rates?

This morning I called my mother (VERY rare for me to call her in the morning, before work) and during our conversation, we discovered we had both had eerily similar dreams. In her dream, she was in a flower shop, watching one of her co-workers cutting roses for a flower arrangement. She said there were peices of cut stems/leaves all over the table. In my dream, I was doing some work at a table, and left the room for a minute. When I came back, there were rose cuttings all over my work table, which annoyed me greatly. I haven't been able to find any info on the internet as to the meaning of our dreams, specifically. I did find out that withered roses signify the death or the parting or absence of loved ones. I had a scary thought that if withered roses symbolise death, maybe cut roses symbolise murder (or being "killed", as in a car accident). What makes this even more bizarre, is that at around 4am. a music box (that plays the song "Noel") started playing on it's own and woke me.

Are young employees (<30) more likely to not get hired than someone over 30 that is overweight. I have a friend who is an HR worker saying that employees that are overweight and young, under 30, are more likely to get discriminated against do to the fact that young people are supposed to energetic, acitve and go-getters hence they shouldn't be overwieght. That could point to them being lazy and not ambitious. What do you think on this?

what drug do feel has the most negative affects on your community, family, friends whatever. In mine, I feel like it is meth. Crack is here, but not as strong as meth. I want to put effort into the demand and eliminate it completely. Therefore making the supply no longer needed. I want to help both sides. It is an evil cycle. What do u think?

i've looked everywhere for a name for my phobia, its just hot air balloons, not normal balloons, but it also includes those large telescopes such as the one at Jodrell Bank....... does anyone else have the same thing?? and does anyone know what it's called??

i can't believe there's a phobia for people scared of things on the left side of their body, but not for the phobia of hot air balloons!

Revelation 1:1-5 states that an angel went to talk to the apostle John at Patmos. Is that so-called angel Jesus and would that mean Jesus was still alive as late as 68.
