How many of you actually pick your nose and then put it on things like a wall, chair, desk, rug, but where people can't see. It's normal and human so don't be embarassed for picking your nose. Just don't worry about society right now. Nobody is perfect!

There is an old case study of value choices of a plane carring various passengers headed to crash into a mountain. Who do you throw out first, second, etc. Do you have this case or know where I can find it?

You purchase special equipment that reduces defects by $10,000 per year on an item. This item is sold on contract for the next five years. After the contract expires, the special equipment will save approximately $2,000 per year for 5 years. You assume that the machine has no market value at the end of 10 years. How much can you afford to pay for this equipment now if you require a 20% annual return on your investment? All cash flows are end-of-year amounts.

Lately my life seems somewhat disorganized and hectic. I realize I keep a busy schedule but I'm finding myself, lately, trying to focus and remember little things or things that are so important to me that I shouldn't forget. I was just curious how many people find themselves struggling to focus and ask you what you do to try and maintain a balance in your life?

I have social anxiety. I am 18 years old female who is Muslim. People see that I cover my hair, they think I'm a terrorist so that gives me social anxiety. I'm sick and tire of when I'm walking, people looking at me in a scared way. I'm thinking about just dropping out of this college.

How powerful is our spirit? Can we draw enough energy within ourselves to acheive anything? I truly think that humans are gifted with the unique ability to overcome any challenge. Aside from our intellect, the human will, I think, is one reason our species is not extinct.

We have to have a group name, our group is 4 guys and a girl. It is for my Research Methods lab for psychology.

A name from some psychology theme would be ideal, but any you can think of is appreciated. One group thought of "Little Albert"..we have to top that.

I went to a massage therapist named Taylor last Saturday evening and she told me to take all my clothes off and when she came back in the room she walked in as I was sitting naked on the massage table and she said " what do we have here, a little inchworm? " I mean I am about an inch normal. So I didnt think anything of it but when the massage started, I was on my stomach and then flipped over and of course as in any massage, I got an erection of 3.5 inches and she then said " aww, it looks like a itsy bitsy french fry " I just giggled at both comments. But at the same time, I didnt want to leave because she was doing a great job on the massage and she was really hot. But still, should I complain to her partner in the company? Or do I have a beef

about Steve Irwin, (croc hunter) stingrays, and started to cry. NO particular reason y, thought I was just being an emotional nut. I called my best friend to tell her of my momentary lapse of reason, and she told me she dreampt of him last night. She dreamed she saw him the day he died and wanted to tell him but couldn't. O,k, then her boyfriend returned home and she told him about me crying over Irwin, and before she mentioned her dream he told her he had a dream about Irwin last night to, and how it was weird and may be a bad omen that they both dreampt of him last night, while I woke up peculiarly thinking about him. We were all sad about Irwin's passing but none of us were stricken with grief over it. Neither they or I has watched anything pertaining to him-I only mention bc I think glimpses of media get in your inner thoughts and can explain some weird dreams. Is this just a coincidence or should we look deeper? Is it a bad omen?

My husband (stb ex) has told me that his family got food stamps and welfare for the majority of his childhood.

What I don't understand, is if you grew up with no money, supposedly no food, ect - it seems like that would make you want to work harder and to have a better life than what you grew up with - but I've heard that is not how it works - my hubby is a excellent example.

He has a h.s. education - makes no effort to get any more job training, ect. He is incredibly wasteful with food, money,ect and what baffles me the most is his sense of entitlement - that everyone 'owes' him something.

I don't mean to generalize, but I can't help but think that this behavior is partly caused by getting 'handouts' for so long.

I am tired of supporting him. I make 2x the income that he does and he just takes it for granted.

what do y'all think?
