The thing was not scarry, i actually grab it from head, aln look at it. It tried do move, but i felt like i have a good grip on it`s head. after a while, i saw the teeth was touching my finger, but bib not byte, or harm, only very close. I sort of smile, then i throw it in grass, and leave it to go... it was not a big snake. What could that mean ?
If is there anyone who can interpret this dream, thanks in advance.
Adi.

when my boyfriend first died i didn't/couldn't dream about him at all even though i was willing it. now, every so often i do. usually the dreams answer a question or bring alot of comfort or seem to bring messages to me. i know people think i may sound crazy but do u think these mean anything?

Most of those who style themselves 'feminist' don't know what it is, it seems to mean different things to different folk. To many it's just a word they've read in a book. Most young women just think it is "trendy" to call themselves feminists. Thoughts, please.

I'm not talking about employers who threaten women with dire consequences if they don't submit to their advances; clearly that is wrong. But what about instances where oblivious, annoying men pester you for dates and such, without ever crossing a line? Shouldn't these matters be resolved between the two parties, without intervention of higher ups? Can't ladies stand up for themselves (in this situation)?

My friend has terminal renal cancer and he's tired of fighting for his life. He is emotionally and physically exhausted...and he says he is ready to die. He recently posted a question which I could not answer... I'm hoping someone else can... He wants an answer about why he should keep fighting....what is the "benefit of going through hell to stay here a few extra months and it is intelligent and based on fact, history, statistics or science not fear and emotion."

Some American women see it as a right of passage as they get older to have their faced pulled, peeled, plucked, and carved. These procedures are painful, expensive, and life-threatening. We have television shows depicting how such procedures can effect positive change in anyone's life (Extreme Makeover, DR 90210). Is this vanity of is it something deeper? Is the increase in plastic surgery a feminist issue?

When her boyfriend was a drug dealing troublemaker, she became a troublemaker. When her boyfriend was an unintellectual simpleton, she became one too. When her boyfriend was mean, so was she. Her own personality always seem to come out again when her relationships get in trouble and she retreats into the family. How and why does she keep sublimating herself into these relationships? Her friends and interests, and opinions always seem to be tied to her boyfriends. I don't have this problem (I never have a boyfriend anyway) and neither does our youngest sister. My sister is 17.

I am outside down town looking for a shop. Then suddenly I hear people shouting I look up towards a tall cliff with a waterfall flowing down it. The waterfall is out of control and the people on the street experience a heavy violent downpour of rain. Luckily I am just outside the shop I am looking for and go in for shelter.

Note - The water at the top of the waterfall seems clean, but when it starts falling onto the street it looks kind of muddy

When people take issue with MRAs & misrepresent our arguments to make it appear as though we're trying to deny women rights...

Do they even realize that men face inequality & THAT's what we wish to correct? The 14th amendment offers the Equal Protection Clause:

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Now when MRAs notice that women have reproduction rights & men have none, this represents a very clear case where there is NOT "equal protection of the laws."

...& that's just one issue. Even if it were the ONLY issue (which it's not), that's grounds to seek justice. Why is this so hard to understand?

I was wondering if you think I should get my friend a b-day present. She was my college teacher but we aren't close close friends. I have been to her house and baby shower and given gifts for her newborn and I work with her hubby. She writes me ad sends me pictures of her family and baby alot too. We only really talk through email.. but her b-day is coming up and I didnt know if I should get her something or not. I was thinking something simple like a restaurant gift card for $20 or something like that for her and hubby to get out w/out the baby for a night. The only other thing is I dont want her to feel like she has to get me something for my b-day.. and shes never done anything for me either, so i dont know... what do you think? If i have gotten her 3 gifts for her baby and i get her a b-day present, I dont want to make it seem like i "like" her by giving gifts alot... if you know what I mean kinda, although we are friends. Thanks!

i've had this dream where all of a sudden i feel like i have a bunch of rocks in my mouth and i start spitting them out, but they are always my teeth, but they are smaller like the little pebbles you find on a playground, and i can just keep spitting them out, like i have 4x as many teeth as usual.

it might happen during any dream, its not always the same dream, but its something that happens oftin. usually there is no injury preceeding it, i'll just be sitting there and there they are. and there is never and blood, just teeth. its usually sooooo vivid that i wake up not knowing if i have teeth.

What would you think of an old friend who showed up after 20 years, introduced him to all your friends, welcomed him into your sports team only to find out he is plotting to discredit you and bring you down? Might this have something to do with the fact that i continuously beat him and his son at sport?

When you deserved a rise, and they know it... you don’t fell embarrass to ask for it??? WHY SOME PEOPLE THEY ARE SO CHEAP THAT CAN NOT EVEN PAY YOU WHAT THEY OWED YOU?
