When do you stop moping about your life and start taking control? i feel like im at that point but everytime i try and do something it backfires...i try and finish assigment questions and then dont understand the material sometimes even ten hours after i first started...im at the verge of being able to start again with regards to my degree, but that will mean wastin a year in which i have no idea of what to do.....? Shall i jus spend another year giving it a go or shall i try and salvage what i can from this year and carry on pormising to work harder? What if i carry on and i slip again, and thats 50% of my degree down the shi+ter?

I often have dreams about an animal biting me. Last night it was a Monkey (like one of those little circus monkeys) but in the past it has been racoons, bats and other animals.

The bites are never from attacks, or violent. Its usally me trying to walk away from them and they casually walk up and slowly place their teeth into me. No blood. I just yell and frantically try to find out how to take care of the bite..do i have rabies? do i need a shot? etc.

What's your interpretation?

I had an intruder for a long long time. From 2 pairs of shoes one of each pari was taken. I looked for my winter boots recently and found one, I hope the other is around the room somewhere hidden by something.
I did manage to pin point the intruder/s but proving their identity is not easy.
What kind of person takes one shoe? What is their reasons for taking a shoe? What fun do they get from this? Shoes aren't cheap nor were my boots and I have to replace these or hobble around with one on and my other foot swathed in socks.

Please think about this one. Smartness isn't based entirely on knowledge, is it?

I am a girl with a peaceful and patient heart, who could delve into one task and seek the final success by trying and working constantly. This characteristic was formed through my experience of learning painting since six years old, because when accomplish a sketch, I need to observe, compare and modify it repeatedly. I also formed a habit of observing things and people around me and thinking about the affairs and people I encountered. When I dig deeper, I often obsessed by some profound problems, such as what is the meaning of life since everyone will die and why society exists. At the time I encountered sociology, I perceived that those problems are exactly the topics of this discipline. It analysis and explanations of the problems that I was long obsessed with attracted me to delve into this field.

well apparently lots of folks say that we are ALL racist and it is whether or not we choose to let those tendencies take over that is key...I say that's bullsh*t!!! I have NEVER hated or thought about hating ANYONE especially based on their color--I don't like some people a lot-but it's because they are not good people(there are white ones, black ones, green ones lol..bla bla).That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of...and believe me I've seen it...my entire family is racist...that's how I learned not to be.I just wonder if you guys feel the same as I do or do you really think we are ALL racist inside?

Right Foot and Brain...

You gotta try this!!

How smart is Your Right Foot ? ?

Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon.......

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't.

It's preprogrammed In your brain!

1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......)and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make Clockwise Circles.

2.. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your Right Hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it!

You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done , You are going to try it again, if you've not already done so. Send it to your mates to frustrate them too..

Think of an ant farm, they go about there lives everyday without ever knowing they are someones pets, they are being watched constantly and some higher power is controlling there fate even though they are totally oblivious.
Couldn't we be in the same situation, could we all just be very advanced ants with someone controlling or influencing our every move. Also couldn't this be where the theory of a god or higher power makes sense...?

Is it a significant feature for you?

Do you find long hair more feminine, or do you think it makes no difference?

Do you have a preference for long or short hair in those you are attracted to?

I am naturally a very nervous person and am about to take my ex husband to court over summer money issues on SSI for the children and visitation. I am on disability due to my anxity issues. While I feel I have a strong case I think it's going to be hard for me to present it to the judge effectivly. I get so nervous it's sometime hard for me to get the things I really am trying to get across. I can not afford to hire another attorney so I will have to do this myself. Any suggestions?

Do you tend to be attracted to men with long or short hair in real life?

What about figures in film and entertainment?

In the Bible, the story of Samson and Delilah tells of how the great Warrior and hero Samson was ensnared by Delilah, and removed his hair. The result was that he lost all his strength until it grew back.

In modern societies, many businesses demand strict dress standards of men, where the standard uniform is a suit and a tie, with clean cropped short hair.

Yes one has only to look to film to see numerous examples of Long Haired men as heroic powerful potent figures, a far higher proportion, I suspect than the ratio of long haired to short haired men in the US and much of Europe.

Do our societies encourage men to keep their hair short because mostly they work within a hierarchy, and because at some level, a long haired man is perceived as being threatening?

Is Long Hair a symbol of Masculinity and Potency?

In the movie Mr. Brooks, Kevin Costner plays a man that is addicted to killing random people. It isn't spur of the moment, he plans and premeditates it very well, so I wouldn't consider it to be a psychotic condition, it's played out as more of a hobby. I was just wondering if this was an actual medical condition.

I used to cry all the time. Over everything. But over the past year and a half or so, I have noticed a huge change. I haven't been able to cry. I will try, but the tears just wont fall. When I get sad, I will just sit there, with my knees up to my chest, and stair at the wall. I just go into this major depressed mode. And I wont say anything. Ill just sit there. I might listen to some music, but slow sad songs. I am starting to get worried that I may have something wrong with me.
Things i get sad over are little things, like guys, past problems, and I have major low self esteem issues. Many people constantly try to convince me that I am "beautiful." or "stunning" but i don't believe them. I think that I am fat and ugly and many people are prettier then me. I sometimes (this sounds pathetic) will just stand in front of a mirror and degrade on myself. constantly putting me down. I don't like to show that I am upset around people either. I have a way of hiding it like its not there. Help

The high-profile and polarizing debate between "Pro-choicers" and "Pro-lifers" masks what I believe is a very accesible common ground: NO ONE WANTS MORE ABORTIONS.

As a proponent of reproductive rights, I believe that no woman should be forced to bear children against her will. But the main issue should be preventing unwanted pregnancies in the first place.

Think about it: fewer unwanted pregnancies, fewer abortions. All it takes is wide availability of contraception and accurate information and suddenly, fewer and fewer women find themselves having to make the choice to have an abortion at all.

Voila! Everyone is happy. No babies are dying, no one is forced to have babies they aren't prepared to care for.

Unless of course, you happen to be the sort of person who wants to increase the number of abortions. Or maybe you are don't believe that women should be able to prevent pregnancy...

I had a weird dream and I could feel things. It started at a place I used to live. A guy pulls up in an SUV and begins shooting at someone I know so I walk up and shoot him in the head killing him. So I'm on the run and I talk to one of my friends telling her what happened and how I feel so we hug and she starts to kiss me on my lips and neck and I start to go with it and kiss her. Whats all this mean? And I actually know everyone but the guy I killed.
