Well, actually, 24 hours ... if she doesn't hit the snooze button on the TV.

Is feminism being helped or hurt?

This may sound ridiculous but somehow it makes me feel sooo bad that I just had to let it out somewhere. Basically I feel really bad and awful because I called my coach at 9.40pm to see if she had lessons available and it turned out that she was most likely sleeping with her children. Her daughter promised to kill me (half-jokingly, but it still sounded horrid to me) but she didn't seem very angry (she was just sleepy and said I woke up her kids) etc....But I still feel so SO stupid for doing this, it's like I'm the biggest idiot in the entire world and I don't know what to say when I meet them again. I don't know why this makes me feel so embarrassed but I hate that feeling... And I'm just posting this on here because I don't really have anyone to turn to in situations like this so perhaps someone here will say something that will make me feel a whole bunch better....please? :(

Okay, I have these weird dreams all the time. It's where I want to hit, grab, or touch something, but it like there's this immense weight holding me down preventing from doing these things and I don't know why. What do you think it is?

How do I get motivated to do anything? I slog around and go to work and don't really do much except drink diet Pepsi. At home I just watch the TV and am unmotivated, not even interested in sex that much. Me: 42, married, good job, house, nice wife, I'm not overweight, I don't drink booze, I take antidepressants, I spend all my money on bills

how do we drop thoughts in our heads which run and run though you wish not to think of how to put a sudden end not necicarly a end yet a reasonable conclusion without dwelling, and also how would you be able to hold your tounge if you tend to believe such a thing even if you knew it was completly out there and its dwelling and thoughts keep rehashing and more question present themselves, and on a side note with out any drugs or alchoale

I don't feel attracted to half the girls at because they're following the emo trend. I don't discriminate but i can't date a girl that wears her hair and makeup that dark. It looks brainless. I don't know what to do with my life. I'm not homosexual.

Here it is: I'm part of a group, we have a leader. We're standing in a circle in a wide open field. The leader hands us white clothing and tells us to change. We do. He then ties a rope around our waists so that from a birds eye view, he is the centre of a wheel and we are the spokes. We are then told to turn away from the circle and begin to walk. I walk and walk into a forest until I can't see the others any more. I come across a dark body of water, and I get in. The water is warm but muddy and there are many many large lily pads. On each lily pad sits a young child who is frightened and crying. I swim to one young boy and hold his hands. I tell him I won't leave him, but then the rope around my waist tugs and I'm pulled from him. I woke up feeling shaken.
Don't make fun of me, it's a really weird dream and it's stuck with me.

I have this problem, usually whenever I'm in a school environment, when I think that I have this odor coming from me. To me it smells like spices and garlic. Because of this problem I usually don't eat exotic spices, garlic and onions. Even fish. Anything that has a strong odor I usually avoid. I haven't seen my school counselor in a while. Also, whenever guys look at me the first thing that comes in my mind is that they have noticed the unusual body odor coming from me. It's embarrassing. In the past it use to be horrible, but my people convince me that there is no odor. I did have an incident in the past that caused this problem. (A long traumatic incident) I want to be completely over it by now. It has been two years already. Maybe I come off as attractive and not as a person that smells bad to guys. I do know and I don't know. I'm not scizophrenic by the way. Oversensitive at times and I misinterpret things because of my past.

The United States has been the most influential country for several decades now. With a population of 300 million people and growing, the third largest country in the world, it holds a lot of power. But with the US economy steadily declining, and China's economy on the uprise, do you think that the US will still hold the position of world power within the next 50 years or another country? Tell me what you think and why.
