do you ladies on here really believe that taking care of the daily chores is harder and more work than him working a full time job to pay all of the bills, so that a 50 50 split of the duties is only achieved if he takes care of all of the bills and does a substantial part of the chores (at least 30% better 50) as well ?
Note: Please do not mention children. At no point did I say beeing a full time worker should you extempt from spending time with the children.

I'm not crazy or anything..
I love animals a lot - I care about them - I cry when I hear stories about animal abuse.. Does this make me a bad person? To care about an animal more than a human?

I keep having a dream about being in school. I already have a GED (in the dream), but decided to go back to get an education again. I am only doing the things that I enjoy. But I don't do any math homework. I haven't sinse the beginning of the year. No one seems to care. I know that there is a test at the end of the year, and I've done nothing towards it. I wonder (in the dream) if the teacher is going to figure it out.

I then realize, 'what's the big deal?' I have already graduated. I don't need to be there, so it doesn't matter if I pass or not.

Also part of this dream...I frequently miss the bus and have to either stay home or drive myself there....

What does all this mean?

I figured that it's something important because I've been dreaming this over several years....so I think I need to interpret it....because OBVIOUSLY it means something...that I'm missing....

What do you think?

The concept of luck is relative; from the genetics of the family you're born into, to the chances of you having a car crash. Some people seem to be blessed with good luck while others end up with all the bad. Where do you fit on the lucky scales?

Every time the wages are raised, everyone else wants a piece of it so that whatever the amount of the increase is, the person ends up paying out more in the long run including those on a limited income (social security/disabled/Vets/AFDC) and they don't get a raise. The poor get poorer.

I am a detective fanatic! Being a detective is one of my greatest ambition since childhood! I love solving puzzles and I am willing to learn more about logic and reasoning. How can I enhance my brain to achieve a detective's brain? How can I gain that kind of thinking skill? Can someone suggest a mind-boggling activity, or any activity that can help me with that or the like? Can someone explain any scientific explanations or any idea regarding my question? I need a very accurate answer...need the most helpful one. By the way, thanks(in advance) for those who will answer my question. God bless everyone! (^_^)

The student asked the teacher, "How do you know when you have attained enlightenment?"
The Master responded, "Men sit and men stand. When the Enlightened One sits, he knows he is sitting; when he stands, he knows he is standing."
Do you think this story also implies that we see some meaning in every action that we take?

I grew up on a farm next to a larger farm that belonged to my best friend Annie’s parents. We were two little girls whose families were too busy for us and our days were spent making dreams come true.

We found thrown out bikes in the neighbors trash and that neighbor helped us get them running, I painted mine fuchsia with sixties style daisies, Annie copied the fuchsia but put happy faces on hers. We found old wood in the barn to make a Barbie dream house like the one we saw on TV only it didn’t really look the same when we were finished. We decorated its interior with material our mom’s tossed out and made a few dresses by cutting holes for the head and arms and tying the waste with hay bail rope. They were the prettiest dresses I ever had because I made them and told stories about my great talents to people who liked listening to me.

We learned to swim in another neighbor’s pool. No one else on that secluded dead end road socialized with the two female teachers who bought a farm and appeared to be a couple. I am still friends with one of them, the other passed away a few years back. She brought culture into Annie’s and my life and encouraged us to behave like little ladies.

Each Halloween we spent days making our costumes and laughed for days after remembering compliments each neighbor made while eating candy bought special for us, because we were the only remaining young children on that road. Alone in the dark we walked through the woods, scared and clinging to each other, to the houses at the end of the road…

We accepted each others wonders about boys and sought answers that didn’t really pan out as truths. But most importantly, we healed each others childhood wounds.

I don’t wish to return to a time when I had limited control of my fate but I wish everyone else didn’t stop chasing dreams. So what if it doesn’t work, wouldn’t it be really cool if it did or better yet a different result is achieved that is bigger and better?
