At times I find myself falling asleep in the middle of a chapter in my books. Or I tend to try to do other things when I know I shoudl be reading the next chapter for class. I text books are interesting. But how do I stay awake and still get the knowledge I need.

My parents have long term problems with..well everyone, they speak to no one AT ALL in our family, due to different and various conflicts and arguements they feel validates having no relashionship with the person ever again. Due to this we (my sisters and I) also have little or no relationship with the rest of the family, if we do we are treading carefully as to not upset our parents. I now have my own child and at times are finding it extremly difficult, I can afford childcare but my own personal beleif is that you cant pay for true love and caring and in some circumstances with kids they could behave worse when they are left in childcare more.
Its extremly isolating in that I cant voice my opinion and thoughts of fears and weaknesses, for fear of critiszm or offense to them. How do you cope when the love you get from your own parents is conditional? I have no close friends to ask for help, and want more than anything help on how not to put this same fault onto my own child.

Is it true that if the U.S. interest rates go up, the US dollar gets stronger? Why are people afraid of interest rates going up? Isn't that good for the US economy?

Will you save your immediately family member(blood related)(i.e. mom, dad, brother, sister)?

or

Your friend(not blood related)(i.e. you grew up together or you've met in junior high, high school, college, or at work) whom you both care about deeply?

When both are hanging by a rope that's about to break that's saving them from 500 feet to their death.
They both are hanging from a separate rope about 50 feet apart. You are in the middle. You only have time to save one & there's nobody else around to save the other.

You cannot sacrafice them both. You have to make a choice. One or the other. There's no middle ground. They are about to fall. You have no time to think. You need to make decision now. Sorry.

And why did you make that choice?

This is not a joke question. I am wondering if I can put myself into a better mood by listening to music, and how I can go about it, just by myself, without consulting anyone.

..... first memory in some way or another was a slight indication or a large indication as to the kind of person you were to become (personality wise)

I think yes, but I think it depends on your first memory and what it was and what your age is, im a guy im 20 and my first memory is when it was my 4th birthday party and the party that I had.

The party itself isnt my first memory, Its me waiting in the hall by the entrance to the room and the bouncy castle I had was at the back of the hall and im waiting by the door (im only 4) all little and cute, waiting for my friends to come with their mums and or dads dropping them off to my party and giving me my presents, I was the doorman at the start of my own party lol
but I remeber waiting for my gf at the time if you can call having a gf at 4years old hehe

I remeber waiting and waiting and she finally arrived with her mum and I remeber her smile and her dress she wore and through out my party we held hands ALL afternoon and....
