One of my girlfriends just called and told me that her brother died over the weekend.
He was a Dr., 51 years old and killed by a woman drunk driver.
My friend has to travel 1500 miles to the funeral, help with arrangements, and look after her 83 y/old Mother.
How can I ease her heartache?
Thanks

Sometimes I feel a bit down and then I just spiral down and down and feel really depressed for a day or two. I hate it because I start to think of really stupid things like am I wearing the right make up, am I unhealthy, am I too shy, do I wear the right clothes. I've always believed that people should be who they want to be and I try to follow that belief but I just can't. I don't have the confidence to be individual. I also think that I'm bad at sport and I get really paranoid about it so that knocks my confidence. I think if I can feel really happy each day this would all stop but I don't know how to change things around and feel confortable with these things.

One of my girl-friend's ex boyfriend is really troublesome, he has a lot of problems at home, and he is even a little bit aggressive sometimes, but deep inside he's a good guy with a bouch of problems.

Last summer my friend dumped him because he will have problems and then go and fight with my friend, who by the way is really happy and nice to everyone [seriously, even the ex-boyfriend admits it] So all the problems came from him and his family, so she broke up. Now i'm having classes with him [my friend's ex] and he suddenly sees me as his sister or something and he gets really attached, telling me all his problems and calling me his best friend and his older sister. I don't know what to do, i try to help him, but he is really stubbern, and sometimes when i talk to him he gets irritated and a little bit aggressive. I'm a little bit afraid, because he also has dependence problems and he tried to kill himself like 2 times, so if i tell him to go away he might try to do it again...

On the one hand there is the religious aspect, but also the fact that most Jews are encouraged to marry other Jews, or are rather discouraged from "inter-marriage."

I know what to do. I know how to do it. Why can't I get past the part where I actually am doing something about it?

Please no, "just Do It" answers. I am trying to understand myself and why I am not doing what I feel I really want. But not doing it?

Does anyone else know where I am coming from or felt this too?

I ask this question because i found an article, by, Amartya Sen, (1990) that estimated that approximately 100 million women were missing. I came across this in a small publication that devotes the majority of it concerns toward women's issues. I would think this would be big news, evidently the mainstream media did not. I don't remember hearing anything about it on mainstream or reading about it. Sort of reminds me of when Clinton was president and people in the states were not aware that in Rawanda militants were killing people left and right, i don't remember that getting alot of press either.

i used to be a sceptic but i keep having nightmares that come true, and sometimes i just say things, like silly scenarios then they happen...E.G- i was in london last week (where i know no-one!) and i said to my boyfriend, wouldnt it be mad if i saw someone i knew, i bet i will now, 10 mins later i saw my brothers old best mate from Ireland, who doesnt and never has lived in london, who was sat next to me on a bench! I also had a nightmare about my mums friends daughter, who i barely know, and havent talked about/to or seen in years, that she fell off a roof, i told my mum and later,she spoke to her friend, only to find she had been in a car crash the same night. Also when my aunt was ill in hospital, on the way to visit her one day, she had been there week, i started sweat and feel uneasy, i told my fam that i felt something bad had happened then unfortunately she passed away hours later. I know it sounds wishy washy but Its starting to freak me out! is it just coincidence or psycic?

Do women who have less than perfect bodies find these types of contests more offensive than the more attractive women?? Do older women have different views (in general) than younger women regarding these contests?
