Been at my work place for over 8 years. Had a few horrid managers and a couple of bad area managers. The new area manager is evil. She is all nice on the outside, speaks to the staff acts interested. As soon as a member of staff does one thing wrong she takes them to disiplanery action and always gives the most severe action she can give. I entirerlly understand punishment in the work force but i always believed in stages of punishment not always giving the highest possible punishment. Can I complain, will it do any good. Is the woman hell bent on a power rush????

I work for Greggs

Just wondering. I have a very normal life, I have a good job and a loving wife that I wouldn't trade for anything.

I feel like I am hiding things, I feel if people knew they wouldn't want to be around me...I didn't do it but I feel shame.

I grew up in a home filled with violence and an alcoholic father that was abusive beyond belief. We were poor, we moved all the time in rented apartments and homes...I feel shameful for this and I don't know why.

I had fear that I would pass this on to my children. That never happened. I loved them everyday of their lives, they all went to college and are great adults. I love them more than words could ever come close to express. My wife is wonderful, we have never had problems, we are both people of peace, love and comfort. My life is a far cry from what it once was.

anyone else???or just me

Morals as code of values, apparently learned, but from a meta-level existing from birth...why do we need morals? Are morals just an appearance of modern society and human beings? Why this mystic code exists in us? The main question: What is the purpose of morals?

I feel out of my mother, and my brother and sister that I am the only one who has not moved on. He died by accident after a surgery and I feel frozen in time. I become obsessed with him. I make scarpebooks of all his pictures, I have his pictures in a locket. I dream almost everynight about him. The dreams haunt me all day long. In my dreams, he is always trying to communicate, but never speaks. He writes notes or shows me what he is trying trying to say. Althought I never completely understand. And there is always water, I dream of water everynight. Always floods or tidal waves coming at me. I feel so lost and unable to move on. I feel as though I have to memorialize or honor him or everyone will forget. How do I get myself to grieve? How do I live my life and not forget about his?

And maybe give some examples?

"When you felt most alive doesn't always have to be the happiest moment in your life."

What's been the happiest moment of your life? How about when you feel most alive?

What are some potential causes of dreams that have, after waking up, a questionable reality? Lately I feel as if I can not seperate actual memories from memories of dreams. Very strange feeling to not be able to tell what exactly is "REAL".

I train in martial arts with a woman who works with an aquaintance of mine. The woman I train with seperatly accused my aquaintance and myself of gossiping about her. Both of us refuted this, myself quite rudely telling her I had a damn sight more going on in my life to talk about than her. She then phoned my Sifu and complained to him,he called me and I explained the situation to him, his answer was highly strung i suppose.
She came back to training a few weeks later and has been fine with me ever since talking to me as if nothing ever happened. I later found this was the case at work to and the woman had been off and under medication.
Today I find out that my aquaintance is facing a disciplinary hearing for causing distress, I know we are both innocent, and the womans behaviour is irrational. I need advice on whats the best thing to do to help my aquaintance, with out being accused yet again of talking about her?

I've applied and interviewed at a school for my Psy.D. (Clinical Psychology). The program accepts up to 27 people per year and interviewed roughly 75-80. I was just informed that I am on the alternate list. I'm wondering what my realistic odds are for acceptance. Anyone know?

I am in 30 years old, therically "you". But it worries me that as I will get older, in my 40s or 50s, I'll become one of those guys who chase younger girls in their 20s.

I never liked those age-gap relationships, I find then superficial or money based, so I would feel like a traitor to my moral, if that happened.

In other words, how can grow old and keep a balanced sexual life with women of his own age?

Try the others, as well. My introduction is in part 1.

This one is hardcore. Do not read this if you are not strong.

Part 4:
A madman has a secret bunker that he has abducted 50 babies from a local hospital to. He calls you on the phone and tells you to go outside your door. On the steps, is a newborn baby. He commands you to torture, cook, and eat the baby for him, while recording it, or he will kill the other 50 babies in the most horrific way possible.

If you do not complete the task within one day, he will also bomb several more infirmaries, and he will do so also if he detects any kind of trickery or police involvement.

Can you be heartless, cruel, and cannibalistic in order to save 50 babies?
