Hi all,

Ever since I can remember I have had a problem with money - I can't seem to hang onto it. It's like I get an urge to spend everything as soon as I get paid and leave myself up sh*t creak for the rest of the month.

Is this something that can be rectified or am I consigned to live a life of always being skint?

Would any kind of therapy help or some other form of treatment?

I'm aware the obvious answer would be to just not spend it but if it were that simple I wouldn't be posting for help.

Has anyone else had a similar problem and overcome it?

I'm pretty much known as a scrounger at work as come the middle of the month I'm borrowing money, smoke's etc and it aint doing my self esteem any good.

How can I just leave my money untouched and only buy things that are needed and have the odd treat?

I correspond with a professor who is supposed to supervise my research proposal, but recently he has not replied.

The thing is I asked if I could do research in another area ther than his because I didn't particularly understand that area he specialised in.

What should I do?

I'm writing an article (more like an essay) on children and how we effect the world. I need some information, but I can't find what I need. Warning- this topic may be a bit unnerving, so please don't leave hate comments/answers.

What I'm looking for is a '*blank* out of *blank* children are abused every year' or something. I need some backup information. Anyone who can help me, please do! Thanks.

Here is my last letter to ESPN could you please give me some more ideas on what to write to convince them about this exploitation:

For the past 6-7 years, ESPN and its nationwide networks have exploited cheer/dance teams all across the country. They do this by parking their TV cameras on these women for their own personal entertainment.

Pigs park their cameras on us close up, front view, dozens of times each game, yet rarely ever show on TV in this manner.

We have asked nicely for them to respect us and all women, yet they refuse. They exploit innocent people, so we will too. When they start respecting us, we stop mailing these out.

I won't stop writing these until something is done and I need to think of more things to write about this exploitation. Do any of you have any thoughts??

Please give your thoughts about the following:

The thing is the concept of 'sexual orientation' is faulty and based on unstable ground, and people are still not sure what it really means.

E..g there is not really a solid consensus of what 'homosexuality' constitutes. Or who is really 'gay'?

I have this to say about 'gay' and 'straight' that may help:

My first real clear memory was when I was a little over the age of 3 and it was an embarassing moment at the time. I really was afraid of using the toilet so I went number two in my diaper, which was a very private thing. I was old enough to talk and understand that it was wrong, but I was just afraid of potty training. One day my mom had to go to some appointment so she had to drop me off at one of her friend's houses who I had never met. At some point I pooped and I remember trying to hide because I didn't want my diaper changed by a stranger, but eventually she did change me. I don't know why, but seventeen years later this memory has come back to me and now I am really uncomfortable with diapers. Every time I hear the word it bothers me, every time I see kids with them it makes me unconfortable, and every time I see comercials with them on T.V. I leave the room. I can't even say the word diaper to people. How do I overcome this fear, Have you ever heard of anything like this?

I'm writing a paper and need to choose an item from our time that has had a great impact on our society. For example, viagra or the ipod (yes, I've already thought of these! What ELSE can you come up with?). And if we were to place it in a time capsule, what would future generations interpret about us by examining the artifact?

I've had this reaccuring dream for years. I'm swimming in the ocean, which I love to do, and suddenly the sand rises and makes like a sand mountain. Now I'm trapped in the ocean and when I try to climb this sand mountain, the sand falls away and I slip back into the water. My dream is mostly trying to get out of the water but I'm trapped, sometimes theirs dangers in the water like sharks and stuff. I have no fear of sharks but in this dream I'm trying to escape from it but cant. Sometimes the shark is about to attack or I'm about to drown, then the dream ends. What's really strange is the few times I escape the water, I'm lured back to it like a magnet or a moth to a flame. I end up back where I don't want to be. What do you think this means?

Today my mom took me to a child psychologist because she is very convinced that I have adhd or add. So, after like a 1/2 hour, we visit the psycholgist and I was really nervous because I mean seriously, would you feel comfortable pouring your life out to a complete stranger in front of your mom? So, yeah, I couldn't make eye contact with her at all because the more I looked at her, the more nervous and uncomfortable I got. On top of that, here's good ol mom comletely over exaggerating the fact that I've broken things (yeah, so I accidently broke a window playing baseball, who HASN'T?). Lets not forget that along with me being really nervous, my mom trying to pin insanity on me, the psycholgist was sitting there only listening to my mom even though I was backing up everything she over-exaggerated with the flipping TRUTH. I don't know if I'm just going in denial or I really am normal, it doesn't really matter either way I'm not taking any flipping pills. >:(

and replace it with a regular one as I watched through my binoculars.

I've been using those stamps that you can create yourself on-line for a couple of months now; I have the mailman pick up the mail from my house (flag up on the mailbox) and now I see him hanging around a bit when he picks up my mail, and I've seen the same car on my street quite a bit at night.

Do you think he could be stalking me now that he knows what I look like from my picture on my stamps?

What should I do?

In my dream I am alone in my house with my stepfather just hanging out and he says he is going to go visit one of our friends down the street. As soon as he leaves this doll dressed as cupid appears from around the corner with a bow and arrow. It is chasing me around my house and trying to shoot me with its arrow. I run up stairs to my bedroom window and call down to my stepfather but he wont help me. So I'm on my own and have to figure out how to escape. The only solution was to run to an open window in my mother and stepfathers bedroom and jump. As I jump out the window the doll shoots an arrow and before I'm hit I wake up.
In real life, my mother and father are divorced, and my mom is going through a divorce with my step dad. And in my dream my parents are nowhere to be found and my step dad abandons me. Please help
