Okay, this guy and I are dating. In the dream we are married and have a little 5 y/o boy. It's christmas time my husband in the dream doesn't celebrate christman in the dream or in reality. The little boy and I are opening up presents, and he want's to know why his fater isn't opening any. I explained to him that somepeople just celebrate christmas differently.

But this is the thing here.

Later on I was leaving to meet my husband the guy im dating somewhere. For some reason, I was on a bike riding along the road with cars. I get to this really really steep hill. I can't ride my bike up this hill so I have to get off and push my bike up the hill. It was really really hard, I finially got up the hill and was at this red light. A lady in the car was behing me being rude and blowing her horn9 she was not mad because I was on a bike and may be holding up traffic, but She justinsisted on going first. After a bit of her aguring, I just moved over and let her go.

What does this mean

I m seeing this girl now... she seems to be somewhat bainwashed into being competitive, aggressive, and conflictive.. I really dont do well with women who criticize, control, or complain (the 3 c's)... but I do like her and think about one day bringing her back on the right track... Is it possible or am I dealing with the milk that has gone sour and there is no way back?

For the past couple of weeks, I've been dreaming that I'm pregnant with my boyfriend's baby. Never that far along, usually 5 or 6 months. I'm 18 and we have a great relationship, but this dream is really starting to get me worried.

Can anybody help?

seek men of higher status to date or marry? Nurses want to date doctors, secretaries are attracted to their bosses, etc. You rarely see a female executive being attracted to the office plant watering dude... Why?

Sorry for being so histrionic.. but...
Oh my god........ I was looking through yahoo and i see 12 year olds typing out is 90 pounds and 5 ' feet 2 inches fat!?!? People make fun of me at school....
^^
OK that really pisses me off...... What is exactly fat to men and women!!! Fat and overweight is not the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People really seriously need to stop being so freaking ignorant.!
OK even i don't think i look that fat!!! And I weigh more than most people and i know it!! >:]
So what is exactly fat to you men... and women? Because I don't know anymore............ I've been tramautized all my life by being called fat even by my own parents and I still will never think I am fat. And now people are saying im not all of a sudden.
Anyways... what is fat? And why do guys and girls feel they have the right to call people that!?!? Astonish me.

P.S. Yes I have issues... but please just answer my question, i'm just really ticked off.

If , as it seems, that a violent rape is about the worst thing , short of murder, that can happen to a woman...why, with their voting majority, do they allow only an average punishment of only 5 years?

I'm interested in completing a Psychology PhD studentship in the USA (my qualifications and experience are loosely outlined in my profile). I basically want to know where i may find Fully-funded PhD studentships advertised on the internet? We have websites like jobs.ac.uk to find academic/science jobs/stduentships in the UK, is there a similar site for the U.S?

I'd appreciate any useful advice.

Cheers

There is a certain group of people whom I choose not to be associated with because I know that they are not the right people to be around. If I were to be in the same room with them, I am quiet, shy and reserved because I have nothing to say to them. I don't feel comfortable being around them. If I don't want to talk to them, then I don't have to. I know the right people who I want to be around. So, why do they label me as being stuck-up or anti-social when all I am doing is minding my own business?
I've only got 1 best friend and a few aquintances.
I'm sort of misanthropic in public situationss.
My mother calls it anti-social. Again, its not that I hate everyone. Most people disinterest me. I'd be more than willing to talk to a competent person. Everyone just seems to be into drinking and parties.

The UPI reported that a new research study found that "Abstinence programs fail to cut HIV risk":
http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Health/2007/08/03/abstinence_programs_fail_to_cut_hiv_risk/1220/

Programs that exclusively encourage abstinence from sex do not seem to affect the risk of HIV infection in high-income countries, finds a British review. University of Oxford researchers reviewed 13 trials involving more than 15,000 U.S. youths to assess the effects of abstinence-only programs by measuring self-reported biological & behavioral outcomes such as sexually transmitted infection, pregnancy, frequency of unprotected sex, number of partners and sexual initiation

The results suggest that abstinence-only programs did not increase primary abstinence or secondary abstinence -- decreased incidence & frequency of recent sex, the researchers say. Currently 33 percent of the HIV prevention funds from the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief are used for abstinence-only programs

And if this isn't solely about choice, should this be addressed by professional organizations, like the AMA, or is there a role for government in oversight of medically unnecessary procedures?

i feel so beat. I feel like i have senioritus but im only a sophomore. i dont feel like doing any work and my grades are going downhill. i feel soo untalented. i really wanted to get into the arts and be a choreographer or a composer or anything that dealt with the arts and music, but im almost out of highschool and i have no experience and suck at that stuff.

has anybody been in my place, got up and seen a better life that has adventure and prosperity?

i really need to know if it is possible to be greater than what i am now.
