I dont feel safe anywhere.Even at church I expect someone 2 bust in and start shooting.And yesterday I went to the movies to c HP, and the hole time I kept thinkin that a fire was going to happen and everyone would trample each other or something. And its not just public places, like I dont even feel safe in my home.If a hear a plane near by I think its gonna crash on our house. im home alone alot,sometimes I think robbers r in my house with me but I just cant see them.Whenever I walk down a street I feel like everyones watching me. And its not just my safety, Im terrified that my gf is gonna dissappear or get kidnapped or something and alot of times when my mom leaves 4 work i get the feeling that I wont ever see her again.I wasnt always like this though.Since i started to feel this way(like the past 4-5 months) ive lost 15lbs and I cant sleep right anymore. I feel like I should just die right now that way i wont have to worry anymore. Am I parinoid or something or is this normal?

By 'cook', I mean prepare and cook a meal from fresh/frozen ingredients, not opening a box and bunging it in the oven or microwave.

All answers will be appreciated, and will be used in a Thesis I am writing on food and eating habits. Please state in your answers which country you live in, and county/state/department/landkreis etc would also be useful.

Thanks, peeps.

We all know that Feminism professes to be all about gender equality, but is it really? I have yet to see a single Feminist indicates she gives the slightest toss about areas where men are disadvantaged. That's not equality. You cannot possibly achieve gender equality with an exclusively imbalanced effort.

Men do the vast majority of the most inflexible, unpleasant and dangerous jobs.
Die 5 years earlier.
Make up 80% of the homeless.
5 times more likely to lose the children in a divorce.
4 times more likely to commit suicide.
20 times more likely to be killed at work.
20 times more likely to be imprisoned.
Many time more likely to be wrongfully arrested, wrongfully imprisoned, mugged, assaulted or murdered.
4 times more likely to lose their homes in divorce.
Suffer more from nearly every medical disease and ailment that there is, and yet, far more money is spent by governments on women's health than on men's health.

Just name a few. Feminism is not about gender equality is it?

They were everywhere, even my eyes. I woke up startled because it felt VERY REAL. So much so, that once I was awake I was afraid to open my right eye because that's where some were and I was afraid when I opened it I'd be blind.Needless to say, in reality there was no army of bugs in my bed nor was I blind. I'm usually pretty good at interpreting my own dreams but this one has me baffled. Anyone have any thoughts?

that when you use a double negative they cancel each other out therefore making it a postive.
ex.. I didn't do nothing.. (really means "i did something")
this slang is one of the most irritating things.
what do you think

how many smartbutt comments do you think this will get with people using a double negative acting like they are witty and smart?

I find it hard to accept that one could be so unhappy and thus leads to unfriendliness. Other than constant financial problems, relationships etc, I'm wondering is it because it's caused by the way they are being brought or by the media always making news that strike fear into people...If theres a reason, I'm thinking if theres a solution

So when I was at the club some jerk came up to me and squeezed my butt. I turned around and he looked at me like i was just some piece of meat. I kicked him in the balls with my stilettos and got right out of there!

my friend told me that he threw up and passed out, and an ambulance came for him. She also said the cops came and she told them everything that happened and they are going to press sexual assult charges on him. OMG i feel bad. Do you think he deserved it? What do you think happened to him? What would you have done?

Ok - I've had enough! I can handle and even joke around about sexist questions towards women, but I am furious about the rape questions.

I don't care WHO you are - rape is NOT a joke! It happens to ONE out THREE women between the ages of 18-25, and that's an OLD statistic from Planned Parenthood. And those are ones that are reported!

Rape is forced, degrading and NEVER funny, and I am tired of seeing these comments and questions demeaning it. Unfortunately having been through it myself and being so scared the guy was going to KILL me, I want to know why you guys or gals think this is something funny?
I'm sorry if this offends, but I am seriously offended by people taking this issue so lightly.

you now that little voice in your head.....yeah,the annoying one that talks you out of chocolate biscuits and having an affair.Do our inner voices have an accent depending on the region we come from?...I've tried to listen and see if mine has but I can't tell.maybe someone with a broader accent could have a little talk to themselves and find out for me.Also...do deaf people have an inner voice and if so do they say things in their mind how they would speak them.I'm not having a go at deaf people here,i'm just interested to know but how we would find out I have'nt a clue !!

Even if a stressful job pays well and offers good benefits--why not get a resume out there? There are less stressful jobs that offer similar salaries & benefits.

This does NOT apply to those who can retire in a couple of years--and stay for that reason alone.

I remember discussing a social phenomenon in freshman phsych that basically said:

Even if you aren't the type of person who would litter you are more likely to litter if the field you are standing in is already covered in trash.

Even if you would never throw a rock through a window, if it was an old factory and most of the windows were broken you probably would.

That's why when things aren't maintained they get exponentially worse over time.

There is some term for this phenomenon and i can't remember it.

If we had the ability to give our problems to someone.. do we become less stressed because it is no longer in our hands?

I don't know exactly how to word this, so I'm gonna try the best I can. I had a sort of...realization, I suppose. I realized that I live such a sheltered life, it hit me that the biggest obstacle I have to face during the day is which outfit to wear or which car to drive to school. When there are people who have the weight of the world on their shoulders every single day, people that are dying because they don't have enough food or good health care. I really want to give something back or do charity work or something...something to make myself feel like I actually have a purpose here, that I'm needed. And not that my ultimate goal in life is shop and spend money. So please, if you could direct me to any sites that tell you what you can do to volunteer I would appreciate it so much. Thanks in advance

Cryonics, the option of having your body frozen in an experiemental medical procedure that may result in revival in the future, is easily funded through life insurance and is hence quite cheaper than traditional funeral arrangements at a few thousand dollars versus tens of thousands left to the survivors to shoulder. Yet, few people choose this futuristic option, prefering to rot with worms than see an interplanetary, futuristic civilization of tomorrow. Weird and kinda inexplicable, eh?

I was reading a billy graham book before going to bed. Now I don't think this had anything to do with the dream I had.
I had a dream that me fiancee was possessed by the devil.
I also had a dream before that , that I saw fire. What does this mean. I feel like the devil was in my dreams because I was getting closer to god.
Can someone explain ? Please be serious.
