I don't remember much about the beginning and middle but i remember around the ending i felt lonely and alone in my room. the room got darker and i got scared because this dark, skinny demon creature with long crazy hair grabbed my arms and looked at me with these big black scary eyes. When it grabbed me my arms went totally numb. when i woke up my arms were still numb. i didnt want to get out of bed for a while because i thought if i went to that one spot in my room that creature might appear. it sounds crazy but i was that scared. and what's very weird is that i always dream about this creature every time im in a dark or dimly-lit room and i feel alone and/or lonely in it. thats why whenever i dream about being in that kind of room i try to wake up right away. i just want to know what this might mean. i studied about dream interpretation in psychology and i try to interpret what the dreams that stand out the most mean to me but i would like someone else's interpretation of it as well

Let's face it. You can pretty much dress up like a wall st. business man one day, and get treated one way, and like a surfer boy the next, and get treated another way. You can easily play with image, and personality, like an actor can. Also, life can be hard, and there is alot of stuff to do & pay bills etc, and people can screw you over, so bitterness occurs.

Also to get anything accomplished you have to know how to play your cards right, follow the rules, know what you're doing, etc, which leads to game playing, in which you are the player.

Our consumer society easily makes us decision maker/player/choosers almost all the time.

You also have fake it-till ya-make it types, which this society almost caters to, as fakeness is always appreciated at least in America, thanks to marketing.

Then you have real problems. Pollution, traffic, job-layoffs, health issues, fixer-uppers, deaths, relationship problems, etc, which can create anger/depression.

Isn't it ALL so f*Cked up

do you chalk your accomplishments up to luck, the generosity of others, or write them off by saying anyone could have done it? aren't you aware how unique your combination of mind and motivation is?

anyone else COULD have done 'it', but you DID. do you feel that give yourself enough credit? do others?

It is getting better as more and more women begin to take control of their investment decisions, but I would still imagine there is a barrier that exists for women trying to do so. Are there any women out there who have gone through some of these that could offer examples or descriptions of what the experience was like for them? Or any women out there that want to invest but dont because of these underlying barriers that could offer their story?

Last night, for the second time in my conscious memory, I dreamed I laid a beat-down on Linda Carter, this time for insulting my grandmother. I like Linda, I told her as much as I held her head to the table by her hair, but nobody insults my grandmother.

Seriously, can somebody tell me what my subconscious is trying to tell me here? I've never beat anybody up in my life (except my brothers, but I don't really think they count as "people" ;-p), I never even watched Wonderwoman, and it's not young Linda Carter I'm beating up. It's the older, cameo her. And I really do like her. She seems nice!

i personally hate this notion and it's not true.
although unfortunately lot of young "white" women have a greater advantage in dating than other races, men or women.

I belong to a number of newsgroups with a variety of people on them. On had a poster ask through a third party for money for medical care. No diagnosis or reason for the surgeries, tests, scans, etc. were provided, merely a plea for money. I responded that in order to provide money for medical care, shouldn't the gifter know what the money is going for? I was slammed out of the ball park for even questioning the motives. What gives. If you were about to be scammed, would you want to know? At least be given the opportunity to verify the need?

So.. yeah...
What do women want?
Fame?
Security?
Fortune?

Also, what do women want from men, in general?

Ever night for literally years (around 5 to be more exact) I suffer from nightmares... I don't die in any of them, and I can control them to the point where people will come back to life if they do die, but the fact is, they all make me feel horrible when I finally wake, like i haven't gotten any sleep at all. I also suffer from sleep paralysis. That is when your concious and still dreaming at the same time and can't move your body. I don't take any drugs, and I only drink every so often. I'm not stressed, i always read right before bed... nothing that is dramatic... and I have many stress relieving habits... like working out, eating healthy, doing puzzles.... So i don't understand it. My love life is fine, no one around me is terribly ill.... I just can't figure out why I keep having nightmares and I'm to the point that i'm just so exhausted from them now. Is there anything that i'm not already doing that can help me?

I feel bad when I look at my life compared to my two ex sister-in-laws. They both have good marriages, careers and children and are financially stable.

I look at my life. I am divorced. My ex-husband has custody of our 15year old daughter. He blames me for ruining or not making her life as it could have been. She does not have the talents or grades of her cousins.

I don't have too many friends either. They have a lot of family friends and are able to mix with other families.

I feel that I am a misfit in society because I am alone. I look at their pictures and good times and feel bad about my life.

I guess that life is not fair and we have to accept the lot that we are given. I also changed my own life due to the divorce.

I am taking uber rich here...those who would have more money than could ever spend in a lifetime. Still they seek out to increase their fortune by more and more.

Is it just greed or perhaps terrible insecurities that makes them surround themselves with more and more money?

Is it fame...when they are already famous...or infamous?
