I have been having trouble controling my anger and my way of speaking to my children. I want badly for them to do well in school and socialy. Good behavior, well maners, respectful... these are just a few of the things I try hard to install in them but when the go in a different direction I take in personal. I am wrong when I yell. Practice makes perfect but I am failing at it.
I know people are judgemental and sarcastic by nature but I need real honest, helpful advice and direction

A friend of mine is on a fixed income that he receives in US funds, but is living in Canada, which means that everytime he has to exchange currency, he's increasingly losing money.

What can he (or any US citizen) do to avoid losing money?

Why don't they ever consider another "average" woman, who may be the delight of their lives, but they'd rather kill themselves or drink themselves to death when they could have untold happiness??????????

They weren't raised with love, were abandonded or abused, orphaned, but instead of being evil and violent, they are good, and try to help others?

I feel that girls/women should give me a chance, an to grow worthy of a nonsexual/nonaddulterating romantic relationship in which requires hugs,kisses, and cuttling/snuggling up to/with me. that is all that I am asking for.

With the fiasco of "Northern Rock" in the UK and the prime lending furore in the US, do you not think that our whole economy is a house of cards?
Is the Stock Exchange not anything more than a glorified bookmakers?
Wasn't the the great depression caused by pumped up greed and then loss of confidence?
I'm not saying that we should go back to the barter system, but it would at least ensure a more equitable, solid system, or not?
Can't we do it any better, or must avarice always lie at the heart of an economics?

I ask this before but my question was misunderstood so I am asking it again because I need to know what I can do to make him leave me alone
My ex is trying to control my life.. he has a new gf but he still acts like I am his gf too I have been very clear I would never want him back and it 100% over between us... but he knows I am single and maybe this is why he thinks I still want him back or trying to make fall for him again and still show off his gf to my face all the time... if he sees me talking to someone he gets all upset and acts like he is hurt... and I has done sooooooo much to hurt me while I gave him 100% love and care and never asked anything from him but thanx god I am too strong I can still stand on my own
and I don't talk to him but his gf, him and I work at the same place and whenever he gets the chance he comes around me with his gf and tells her gf to stand away and he ask me how I am? Is it true I have found another job? He acts like he want me to find another job but then next min he acts he is glad we work together and he tries to look at me whenever possible. I can see how it makes his gf upset she looks at me with anger and hate in her eyes I was the first one to work in this company and after I helped him to get a job there cause he was jobless for yrs and now he has brought his gf 2. I don’t see why I should leave a job that pays good salary and it has good potentials

I am also not ready for another relationship... or flirting with other guys to make him jealous I wouldn’t want anyone else feeling’s to get played like main

The rats could jump to either of two windows with sliding glass barriers, each containing food. The windows were embedded in a wall or partition several inches away. By varying the pattern of open and closed windows, the experimenters saw how well the rats learned increasingly complex patterns. But when they varied the open window randomly, the rats ultimately fixated on one window. Thereafter, if that window was closed all the time, and the other one was open all the time, the rat continued to jump to the same (closed) window. I would like to accurately cite this experiment, but can't find any reference to it online. Can anyone point me to one?

Depression for me = having trouble taking a shower and doing anything other than taking care of my children and reading, playing on computer, watching TV, etc. Please serious responses only – I’m not lazy and not making excuses, just wanting to learn how others get through this. Yes, I have had/am having therapy, am sometimes on meds when advised to do so and can afford it…no, nothing has worked long-term so far. So how do you accomplish more when you’re in this kind of spot? Creativity and/or unusual “solutions” much appreciated.

I was trying to fill out a job application and I just started crying. I've been a homemaker for the last two years. Before that I was a teacher. Now we need the extra money so I'm planning to be a subtitute teacher. I mostly enjoyed teaching. We don't have any children. Why am I dreading working so much? Am I lazy, a coward, or what? Is it normal to burst into tears filling out an application?

Dose the media reflect who we are as a society? I feel it kind of dose. Some might not agree. But I think its more like a fun-house-mirrior reflection. Really over-done, over sized. But its still us. Underneath all that glamour. Anyone agree or disagree?

or somewhere. I have noticed something. Whenever i go to work in the morning, I get there at 8:45 a.m. There is this guy that drives into the parking lot and and goes to the pay phone to use it. I have noticed that it's always the same exact time every day that I go to work. I am not saying he is watching me. I am just saying what I noticed. He has a good car, and he doesn't look homeless. Why can't he use his own home phone or cellphone that he has to waste gas to use a pay phone.

This guy is Hispanic and I am not suggesting anything by that. What I think is that the guy is using a pay phone to keep something secret, perhaps cheating on his wife, or drug dealing.

Noticed anything strange lately?
