My bed feels hot and uncomfortable at night when I need to go to sleep, but so warm and cozy in the morning when I need to get up. Any one know how to reverse this?

When I was in my late teens, I met and started dating a girl who was diabetic. Back then (in the 70s) there were no laser treatments, and she started going blind. First in one eye and then both eyes. We spent a lot of time together, and it got to the point that I had to hold her hand everywhere we went and warn her ahead of time of any hazards such as steps, doors, etc.
It took me quite a while to get used to this, and sometimes I would forget she was blind and forget to tell her about some object in her way. The funny thing is, that once I programmed my mind to be always aware of her blindness, I found myself still in that mindset when I was with people who had no vision problem. I would be walking with a friend and tell him, "ok, you have a curb about 3 feet ahead of you" and even sometimes grab his arm. He would look at me like I was crazy and say something like, "yeah, I know...I see it."
I had gone from being hyposensitive to blindness to being hypersensitive to it.

do you think the type of questions people ask reveal much about that person?

She continually stares (more like glares) at me, and I do know it's because she is trying to intimidate me (there's a history here). So far, I have been ignoring it, and her, the best I can - but part of me wants to either stare back at her until she gives in, or give her something to stare at like a funny face. Should I not give her any response or give her a response that says 'I won't put up with this?' Please help!

How is it possible for a man to rape a woman? I mean, the woman would have to be moist for any forced and continued penetration wouldn't she? Can a woman get wet without pleasure? Would it be instinctive reaction to the penetration, or would it be improptu arousal during the rape? Or are these men just dry raping women? I know lube can be used, but lube only lasts so long.

is this a basis for level-headededness?

how much should we exhaust our brains?

i am not asking this because of stupidity, but sometimes it gets exhausting to always have to rationalize and analyze situations...

please share some thoughts.


thanks a lot!!!

why is it when someone makes a remark or asks a question we patently disagree with, the popular gut reaction is to flip out?

moreover why do we try to convince them that our point of view is the right one? is it possible we could truly change their minds?

i'm not calling anybody out. i mean, i'm guilty myself. i'm just wondering what your motivating factor might be.

so long.

especially when they're out of context to their real meaning. e.g: F*ck you. This does not imply I want to have sex with you. what the f*ck? this does not mean I am wondering about sex. bullsh*t. This does not mean I am raring to talk about cow excrement. You're a p*ssy. Does not mean I believe you are comprised of female genitalia. These are all exclamatory words with the same venom as "Darn it" or "what the heck". Why do people feel they need to force their beliefs on me and affect the way I feel comfortable communicating, wtf?

There will be plenty of room, they just get this racist/fearful look when the elevator doors open and there are a few black people... Now remember this is in a professional work setting so everyone on the elevators are either co-workers or customers.

***Please make a racist comment so that I can report you***

Other than that, discuss...

My friend Grant is a christian fundamentalist and the other night we were living Friday's and our friend Jonah jokes in the car about the fact that Grant was hanging out with Heather(Jonah suggests they're we're doing it *laughs*). So I say "I don't believe it I bet he doesn't even know how to put a condom on"

And there is silence... And I go! Oh my god you don't know! (mind you this is a 21 year old man) So while I go innocently trying to explain to him he gets really pissed(i know that because he used the "F" word and he never uses it)

So I am like... WTF! MATE! What really pisses me off is that just before that I was telling him about my family history which was to me just as personal as stupid condoms and when im talking about that stupid condoms he gets all pissy and mad at me....

Anyway! any thoughts?

This is something I've always wondered. When young children (birth - 3 years say) are used in TV how do they not end up confused and challenged? They have their stage name and stage family and their own 'real life' name and family how are they able to cope? Calling an actor "dad" or "mom" and being called by thier stage name and having their real life names and relatives its something that's always puzzled me.
