They know they are biped because of the pelvic bone, and they know that they were very, very hairy. How did they find that out with the bones they excavated?

I had this dream about my boyfriend killing himself, right in front of me. Why would I have such a horrible dream. It's really been bothering me. It was just...gross.

I'm moving out of home tomorrow, i'm 18 and going to uni, but i just feel so upset. Like it's the end of something you know? I can't shake off feeling sad, and i see nothing exciting about the prospect of living in a small room, sharing a bathroom with 8 other people and starting completely fresh, making new friends. Maybe i don't want to make new friends, maybe i liked my life how it was. I'm just so nervous and i know it's probably due to how i was raised, more or less wrapped in cotton wool...i think it's made me a nervous and wary person of change.
urgh i just hate feeling like this, is it normal to feel like this and how did/are/would you react in my situation?

By this I mean, the fact that women are now able to work has adjusted the US economy greatly so that now most people feel they must live off of two incomes.

it seems that my boss is so dependent on me in doing urgent important work. this leads to cause jealousy by my co workers. they treat me so bad and wait for the slightest mistake done by to go and tell the boss about it. they have no problem with me - they say - except my harsh attitude, the attitude is only the seriousness that must be around in any job i explain. i discovered also that when i’m not working in the office and occupied with projects outside the workspace they treat me so good and they are being friendly. i cant ask my boss not to give me work or stop doing my work perfectly because they get annoyed, however i started hating work because of their attitude with me..

I was laying on my couch and a creature was on top of me, it had a cat head, a weird body and a tail like the devils tail that was moving back and forth. It was growling at me like a cat growls. I was trying to call for my son but no words would come out of my mouth. I did not watch any crazy movies and never have dreams like this.

Okay... any ideas would be great. I have to sit at a desk in front of the computer all day. While I am busy for about half the day, the other half I am so bored, and feel like my brain is just getting dumber by the minute by staring at every stupid thing the internet offers.

Basically, are there any websites that are mind stimulating? And good word games out there? Any good surveys (not talking about myspace ones) to actually get me thinking. Im not in any classes currently, and I just feel like I need to do something to get my brain moving again! And I figure if I have to sit here at work until 5 anyways, I might as well do something now...

Thanks!!!

O.K., so we learn in college economics, that the illegalization of drugs(such as marijuana), only effect the supply side of the supply-demand curve. Supply is shifted to the left, which means that suppliers offer fewer items to sell than if the governement did not resrict the sale of drugs. Demand however, is not affected at all, and so it inevitable that there will always be a demand for certain drugs. Therefore, the "war on drugs" will never end. Demand will have to be completely destroyed in order for that to happen, and as long as people have indepepndent thinking, that will never happen.

I had a dream that I was in this mansion. It wasn't brightly lit, but it wasn't dark, either. I had to get to the upper level because there were people up there. There were two staircases. One was a plain wooden one, polished but simple and it went straight up. The other was white with gold trim and it spiraled up. I was so confused as to which staircase to take, but I ended up taking the plain one.

Just as a note, I had this around my high school graduation.

Cut my gums and then brushed them hard with a toothbrush. I know that must sound stupid and weird. I don't know why I did it but I have been having the urge for a long time. Didn't feel pain but I also didn't feel much satisfaction. Thanks.

I guess cheating your wife ...more rarely-- your husband..is a kind of mental dissorder.Because mental means mind..and our mind is founded and considts of the reasons given by God the real values, which if you don't have , it results a mind in trouble...but...if they are fluent in language. an grammer ..few would notice...

well just and irony..a christian would never esttablish '' syndroms''.

God would send us right to hell..
every evil or disorder is just the the tempation and the work of satan...

Just out of curiosity, which would you rather, extreeeme physical pain (for example, multiple gunshot wounds and slice and stab wounds, BUT surviving, a needle being stuck through your eye, or any other absolutely unbearable pain, like those things you see on National Geographic's "Taboo" when they have to earn their manhood), or extreme emotional pain (having a child by a woman, growing close to the child for about 7 to 8 years, then finding out the child is not yours, the child belongs to someone else... finding out someone like your grammy is terminally ill and is going to die, finding out your brother is gay, finding out your spouse that you are deeply in love with was playing you all along and was cheating on you hard with multiple partners from the start, etc...) if you HAD to choose one for sixty million dollars.... one million dollars JUST to choose one, which one would you pick? If you say none, you get no money.

I had a semester in high school when I was borderline-failing 2 classes (being usually A/B student) and my mood was in the pits.
What pulled me out of this cycle of self-loathing/self-pity was getting in trouble. Doesn’t matter why (something quite minor), I was pulled out of class by a school policeman and an assistant principal and taken into the assistant principal’s office for a serious talk. I got off with 10 hours of service learning and a disciplinary citation… and most amazingly I broke that cycle of self-loathing/self-pity.
I’m in it again, and not sure how to get out. I’m thinking of getting in trouble again, but now that I’m older, trouble has a way of settling on my permanent record. I’m looking for anything to get me out of my comfort zone and my mind off my failure. And yeah, I tried “thinking” along the lines that people starve to death and I feel sorry for myself for a bad grade. Doesn’t help. Only makes me hate myself more.
Anything you could suggest?

"She must be just PMSing!..." why is it considered a sexist or offensive stament? Everybody knows about PMS symptoms and at least the man who says that attributes a woman's b.tchiness to that condition rather than her personality flaws... So why is it so unacceptable?

how does imbalances in the global economy affect population growth and population decline?

We should be develpoing our own resources to the maximum while importing less and putting less money in the hands of middle eastern governments. They own hundreds of billions worth of our companies and debt instruments.

Also, developing our reserves will reduce our trade deficit substantially, support the dollar and put America in a stronger position. Before a lib greenie answers, please have an understanding of worldwide petroleum production and consumption because conservation and hybird cars will not solve the problem. They won't even slow down the rate of oil consumption in America as more and more people come here.

The more we restrict oil development, the more money we put into the hands of middle eastern governments. All in the name of global warming (the earth has been warming since the last ice age). So libs: Why can't we develope our own resources?
