I am poor and it stinks. I'm poor--but not poor enough.

Like if you are crying in your dreams, could you actually be crying unconsciously while you are dreaming?

My bf was in a terrible accident and sometimes he will have a dream that is like a horror movie of the accident playing over and over in his head. Is there any way to stop this or prevent it?

When I was younger, I had this dream where an ice cream truck was coming toward my house. It stopped outside of my house so it could wait for customers. Then, a lot of random kids (the same age as me) came out to buy ice cream from the truck - but soon after that the children discovered that all of them were penniless. Quickly after that I looked at the palm of my right hand and saw a bunch of change. Then the dream ended, right then and there.

What does my dream mean? It's always bothered me..

My socialist friends claim there are thriving socialist democracies such as in Scandanavia. Can that be true? What is the rebuttal for such ideas?

I beseech all the regulars of G&WS to help stop the standoffs, delusional ratings and various other sabotages of what was an excellent and educational forum just two months ago! I came and stayed around G&WS in an effort to learn and in the process became very fond of many of the regulars here---I also have learned a lot! I've learned far more about different ways that men and women interact and handle various roles...these are important things to know, I've also learned a lot of other things some even about myself as ideas, thoughts and base knowledge were challenged. I imagine many others are learning a lot here---why lose all that to sputterings of the delusional or ignorant? Some "trolls" do bring humor or a time out from more serious discussions and that's cool...but lately it's turned more into a virtual riot here and that is a shame.
I beseech you all----can we put the flames of hate and delusion out?

I have had two dreams in which Russian was spoken, but one was before I had taken any Russian, and one after I had been in a Russian class for only 2 weeks or so (which means basically no russian skills whatsoever). This can't be real Russian can it? How can it happen? Is it just rambling that my brain tells me is Russian? Why would it do this?

I ask this because, I was in home depot the other day looking for bathroom caulk. As I was standing in this isle looking at the stuff on the shelf, two young black mne came near me and one said , " That ***** crazy ". I knew they were talking about me because they were standing in earshot and was talking loud enough for me to hear. I turned to look at them and they were no one I recognized. It bothers me because I get this a lot not from everybody, but black people in particular. Or I should say black men. I never have this problem with anyone else. So why is it that black men always make rude comments about me. And it is trully just black men. Is there something about me that they see, that I dont realize....maybe I am crazy and dont realize how crazy I am...I mean I dont carry myself in a crazy way. Or maybe it is my actions. I dont know. They say crazy people dont know that there crazy and people can tell by looking at someone if they are crazy. I dont know but my problem is........

Note: the question presumes that it has been proven to you beyond all reasonable doubt that a body can be frozen and re-awakened successfully. It is 100% certain that you can be awakened at your chosen date in the future.

Ok i dreamed that i was cleaning my drive way and i saw movement in the leaves and it was a black snake i grabed it rite below the head and squezed as hard as i could so it could not breath. But it was still moving so i cut it with a knife below where i was holding it at when i cut it i could see inside it and the snake was still alive so in my head i said im going to cut the heart and that will kill it. Then all of a sudden the snake stoped moving and i thought it was dead but for som odd reason that was not good enough i still wanted to cut its heart out of spite as soon as i got about a inch away from cutting the snake heart it turned and bit me on the the hand in between my thumb and pointer finger and then i woke up. What does this mean help please!!!

I got my PSSA(state testing) scores from last year back yesterday. and i know theyre great. i got advanced in everything and every subject. But despite that, i still feel like i didnt do good enough because no one section was perfect.

i know thoes are made to not be perfect, and if i did get every one right, i'd probably be in the wrong grade, but i'm disapointed that i didnt do my best. i tryed my best though.

Sometimes I feel like I have been given a very strong intuition or "supernatural" ability like being "psychic". However... I am a Christian and have been taught (and Believe) that people should stay away from stuff like that. It's really weird. I don't know what to do. Sometimes it feels stronger then other times. It comes and goes and I sometimes wish that I knew what was going on. Is this really a "gift". I don't believe in astrology or tarot cards and crap like that. What do you think?

I was remeniscing on the past the other day, and I was thinking about an incident in 3rd grade where we were playing kickball for PE. I remember this girl Carrie kicking the ball and getting to first base. A boy next to me said "wow that was a good kick". I then responded "yeah, for a girl". The teacher's assistant, Michelle, who was perhaps in her early 20's, overheard this comment and then proceeded to lecture and scold me for making that statement. Something about "girls can kick just as good as guys" and some other stuff, I don't remember completely. Her propaganda tactics worked, because her being an adult and an authority figure, I took it in, and believed it for years to come.

Was this a young LycraSpandex's very first clash with feminism?

But, as I thought about it later, my comment wasn't really off the mark. The kick was a rather mediocre kick -- the ball skidded across the ground real fast, and only got her to first base.
