I'm a RN who has to work at a children's hospital on Halloween night. In the "spirit" of Halloween some of us want to dress up. Any ideas that won't interfer with our dress code (which is any color scrubs) is comfortable and will allow me to work.

In hot weather men wear a T-shirt under another shirt. It seems to me that if it's hot, you'd want just the one layer on, not TWO!

Underpants just don't make sense to me, they're bulky, they chafe and they cause sweating.

Is it a marketing sceme to get people to buy more? Have Amerikans been conditioned to think they have to wear them?

Maybe there was a time when underware did serve a vital function but now they're obsoleete and it's just a hardwired cultural norm.

Do underware serve a verifiable purpose or is it's continued usage just an opinion based cultural habit?

I have a 14 year old living above me who speaks to me on rare occasion in friendly way. I have trash in my yard which consist of shampoo bottles.
The message I am getting is : I am a 14 girl prima donna who is all that and you are a 40 yr old nothing who can pick up my trash..
I would like to bag up the trash and put it on their door or invite both the mother and her to come pick up the trash I provide the trash bag. Any ideas?

SEVEN LAYERS OF SOUL :
1.PhysicalMaterial body
2.EthricIntelligence & arrogance (space body)
3.ShadowThin body (desire body ) or sukshma
4.MettlePran or Consciousness
5.SpiritualSpiritual body, Sanskar, Informations
6.CosmicBrahman (High Voltage Element) or (Super Energy)
7.Absolute Space Zero or Shunya (Sky)
The difference of living body and dead body is called a SOUL (a super energy): After separation of the soul from the body, the body becomes inactive. This stage of the body is called ‘death’. Death occurs to the body only. The soul for which the body remains alive never get destroyed. Its existence remains the same. A soul has seven layers. After the death, the cosmic element (Brahman) and spiritual body (Sanskar) along with the conscious body, thin body comes out from the ‘material body’. With the cremation of physical body or material body, the thin (desire) body also meets the end. As long as the thin body is alive it roms around the periphery of the material body. When the thin (desire) body gets destroyed, the soul (Brahman + Sanskar + Pran) has to bear the pain of death for the second time. Then the conscious body of the soul takes its place on the queue to have a new body according to its own will. In other words, after death Brahman + Sanskar + Pran + thin (desire) body get out from the body.
The meanings is Brahman, Sanskar and the consciousness body in the cordon of desire body comes out of the dead body. The arrogance and intelligence is developed along with the development of the physical body only. Generally with cremation or melting away of the material body, the desire body also get destroyed. The intelligence, conscience, arrogance and desire get merged with ‘Sanskar’ i.e. they go back to the dormant stage. This way in a soul or ‘life soul’, three layers of Brahman, Sanskar and Pran are left. After that the Pran (Oxygen) according to the ‘Sanskar’ leads the Brahman in the direction of a new life (to the queue).
As long as the thin body is alive, it roams around the periphery of the material body. When the thin (desire) body bets destroyed. Then soul (Brahman + Sanskar + Pran) has to bear the pain of death for the second time. The pyramid maker of ancient Egypt used to mummify the dead people, might be with the consideration that, the physical body would not die by allowing the soul to move freely in the cordon of desire body, so that, it should be free from the clumsiness born out of the complexity of birth and death. The soul has its own limitations while inside the body. But as soon as it comes out of the material body, it gets all the freedom. On this Kabir has said “ MAYA MARI NA MANN MARE, MAR MARGAYE SHARIR, ASHA TRISHNA NA MARI KAHA GAYE DAS KABIR.” (After the death the first two layers of the soul get merged with the third layer and after the cremation or melting away of the body the third layer also get merged with the 5th layer that is only 4th and 5th layers of an ordinary soul remains.)
Before joining the queue for a new life, it is necessary for the desire body to get destroyed. Like this, so many souls in cluster, flow in the queue with the Sanskar and odor they carry, and then enter the body of a person having the same Sanskar and odor, to become a part of the sexual organ passing through different phases in the body. During the sexual intercourse by the parents, they separate themselves from the reproductive organ to get a new life if any one of them is received by the ovum, as we have discussed before. The rest are destroyed due to the lack of protection to join the queue again. With years of effort only it gets a new life. The time period between death and rebirth is called and interval (ANTARAL). Generally, the soul with a less span of ANTARAL holds back the memory of the previous birth, but with longer period of ANTARAL it can’t retain the memory of the past life. The memory gets fade away in time. During Antaral period the soul feels the heaven or hell in the inner body of any other person.
As we have discussed before, the body of the father has seven layers and each layer contains seven portions as according as the seven spiral spots (Chakra). During the period of ‘Antaral’ the life soul (cell) spends time in those portions of the father’s body in a form of gem and as according to the ‘ Sanskar’. The seven layer of the father’s body is like seven worlds, where the germ suffer from the joy or grief, and remain that till the completion of the process before getting a place in the reproductive organ, the kind of mental status a person carries during death, the status leaves an impression on the ‘Sanskar’ like a ‘reel of film’. And according to these mental status during the period of Antaral the life soul lives on that experience. The period of Antaral may be from few days to several years, because out of thousands of germs, only one or two get the opportunity to form a new life at a time. The rest get destroyed to go back to the queue. There is no separate heaven or hell. One has to suffer it here only.
Our ‘Sanskar’ which like a computer memory, stores the development occurred during the births of infinity and we can’t escape the result those mental dispositions which we have earned. That is why the sages have urged to avail tranquility, they have also urged to destroy the Sanskar, so that agony caused by the mental disposition comes to an end.
While building the creation, God had cultured ‘desire’ to give pleasure to the creature. But along with the development, the desire with the help of Pran ‘ (Consciousness) started bullying upon the ‘Sanskar’, and here started the trouble. Today, every creature has a inclination towards the desires. Nobody has time for the fundamental awareness. In the beginning of the ‘creation’ the grand sphere which was produced from the prime element, had some ‘natural’ loopholes. Selfishness is right for a single person, but when it comes to more persons, it becomes the cause of alterations. Accordingly, the natural loopholes spread to the total creation.
There are two existents in every ‘body’. One is of desire and mettle (consciousness), and the other one is of spiritual and ‘Brahman’. There is a regular ‘rope’ competition between these two, and who ever wins takes over the intelligence and the ‘physical body’. The main point is to convert this dual existence into one without any internal revolt. The day you will not have any internal revolt, you will become complete. You are in such a situation that both your accelerator and the brake are applied together. The vehicle is dragged without the coordination of both. The turn of moving or running it has not come yet, because two elephants are forcing each other in the opposite directions being tied at tails and not ready to listen or obey to each other.
Life is like that ! If one dies, anther fills its stomach. With the death of one, another gets its food. Clay is dependent on the stone, the plant life is dependent on the clay the animal life is dependent on plant or other animal. Every body is dependent on one another. One eats another to exist. This is nothing but transformation of elements to make different shapes.
Every molecules of the nature and every creature are part of the creation only. Different shapes created in them is the combined representation of the germs and atoms, which depend on each other to bring these shapes. They are present in the clay, in the stone and in the total vegetation. They are ‘life elements’. The scientific research has proved that the plants also feel the pain when being cut with a weapon and they also can make out what the person in front thinks about them – ‘Today they are eating, tomorrow they will be eaten or already been eaten.’
Countless numbers of molecules and atoms have become bricks to build houses for you. You were also an atom of some other brick, one day. Tomorrow, you may become a roof for somebody else. Today we are building items from trees and leaves for our comfort. One day, we were also trees and leaves, for our comfort. You were also a tree or leaf one day. You are an unit of this creation. You used to be an atom before, now a germ, and this is the life cycle of yours during the time of infinity. Because,‘O’human being, for the construction of your body some 10 billions cells are required and each cell is made up of thousands of atomic germs.

I find it realy annoying as they think that they are the ones to get the answers. For example that nutter from Jamiraqui thinks he is the only person who asks about arms trade. Hasn't he heard of Amnesty International? Why doesn't he join Amnesty? Yes it makes a lot of people annoyed abouit these things and as for that hip-hop bloke who wants to consume less water, hde could get off his fat butt and ask the propper people. why should I do his work for him so he can make more money?
