I've had this problem for years now I think my entire life or as far as I can remember. I've looked up ways on the internet and have asked people for ways to stop procrastinating all of them say the same thing make a schedule, just do it, and other basically useless information that doesn't really work. Oh, and I would basically procrastinate looking up ways to stop procrastination that's how bad it is....Anyone out there suffer from procrastination and overcome it somehow? I've been putting off my work for as long as I can remember for a one month long science project I would do everything on the last night and literally work for hours upon hours and still ace the project but, just the idea that I could have worked maybe an hour a day or even less. My willpower can't stop me from not procrastinating although it has been proven for other things. I still usually finish all my work it's just....I do it at the last possible period of time I can do it and it's frustrating.

I feel like I obsess WAY too much about sad stories I hear in the news, even if they don't affect me or anyone I love. I feel like it's really starting to negatively affect my life because I will lie awake at night thinking about the terrible things that I hear about. Yet I don't want to be callous to other people's misfortunes, either. How do you maintain a balance of "feeling other people's pain" and being compassionate but not to the point that you're bummed out and thinking about it most of the time?

This is a matter of personal opinion, and this is what I am interested to know...

As a pro choice person, do you regret than anyone should ever be faced with the need to choose whether to have an abortion in the first place?

Do you wish that contraception was more widely available to stop unwanted pregnancies before they are even started?

Would you support good counseling services (ones focused on the womans wellbeing, not agenda driven) to assist especially young women in making such a hard and often traumatic decision?

Lastly, do you sometimes feel, as I sometimes feel - that elements of the pro life lobby feel that - because we are pro choice, we somehow relish in the idea that women should be pushed towards abortion? For me this could not be further from the truth. I believe a woman has the right to choose what happens to her body, and knowing several women who have been had by having abortions, I want as to see as much support given to such women as possible.

Here's the article titled "Men Talk More Than Women Overall, But Not In All Circumstances": http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/11/071108171518.htm

The article describes a recent set of meta-analyses conducted by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres. These analyses collect all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combine the findings into an overall picture of the differences between the genders regarding talkativeness.

The authors found a small but statistically reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women overall -- especially in certain contexts, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children & to their college classmates.

"These findings compellingly debunk simplistic stereotypes about gender differences in language use," conclude Leaper & Ayres.

The study suggests that social rather than strong biological reasons affect gender differences in language use.

Just wondering, since I heard some claim pro-lifers are only against abortion to control women, which doesn't make much sense to me since many women are also pro-life.

Alright...So I had this dream a couple of months ago and it's significant enough for me to remember it this long. Normally I wake up, remember it, and forget it five minutes later.


So I first remember me being in a "Paint Store". The beginning was from a person looking in on the situation, but not me. It was almost from a camera from the ceiling. I saw myself look at hair dye. It was all weird colors, but I remember there being purple and my hair color I usually get, a red color. I got the red and then saw my boyfriend, Justin, come into the store. He didn't talk to me, he just walked to the back of the store through the tall, white shelves and then he disapeared. I saw a door, so I went through it. The room reminded me of a triangle. You came in through a door, and you're flush with flat wall and a cut in sink. So the wall was flat, but there was a hole with a sink inside. And on the wall next to that was the bathrooms, which were also flat, even the handles. Two

so for the past week i have been having this same dream but it varys a little. im in this big lot with people i know or dont know, and then i leave and im walking down this dirt path that is coverd with dead leaves. and there is very green grass on each side of the path.. and ill see this dark figure wich i learned to be the grim. and he is just levetating in the air, and his arms are streched out like the way jesus's arms were on the cross. and i stop, and wake up in a cold sweat. Sometimes it changes.. like i walk down the path and see houses on my left and i go into a house and its always the same house i enter. but its always dark in the house, and i always feel like im being watched by something or followed.

what is going on...? its been going on for a week.. and its making me uneasy and scared to go to sleep.

I do. I don't know how to explain why. I never used to but then my brothers friend brought it up. He mentioned pastlives and what we all could have been. He mentioned that when you have talents, it can be from a past life. I thought about that, and I think that is possible. Then he asked me stuff about an artist I never knew of and i answered all the questions correctly. He thought that was creepy and art is my talent and my life.

Do you believe? What makes you believe or not believe in it?

Me and some of my family (mom,brother and aunt) traveled to Japan. Then they disappear in some resturant we end up in.
In this resturant, theres this weird older Japanese woman (kinda old, but a little pretty), she keeps asking me something,
i think to stay with her (not sure).So i walk away for a while to the restroom. In te restroom there is one stall, but instead of a toilet, there is a worn out looking bed. and on that bed is Wednesday Adams (from the Adams family), but she looks more dead looking than in the movie. So im looking in a mirror, when all of a sudden the old Japanese lady comes up to me again. Shes asking me the same question as before, but NOW i can her thoughts, what she was thinking. Her thoughts were saying,"Say yes, say yes....yes ect."So me, a little frecked out, just knods my head slightly, trying to get rid of her as quick as possible. With satisfaction, the woman leaves. When she left, i turn into the stall (with Wednesday) and ask "Did you hear that?"

I dreamt two days ago that I was climbing a mount, it was difficult; the rocks were falling apart but i was grasping tight and slowly climbing higher. I reached a little window. I thought I can hold to it, so that I can take some rest. I check it but it was loose! It was supposed to be the final destination.

After that I climbed down. Then a very stong hurricane was approching from the sea. I ran down the mountain, till I reached a refuge at the base of the mountain; it was a place with cane walls. There i grasped to big trees and was safety. There were people in it seeking refuge too.
