I've been extremely stressed over something the last few days and now I have this migraine. Thankfully it's only coming in bursts every few hours but man does it hurt!!!

Any hints to alleviate/get rid of it?

I am 16 and during the summer i usually go to the community pool, it is typically empty since everyone is always on vacation so there is no more than 20 people there a day. When i go to the pool i usually walk and i usually walk in a towel. Now when i say this i mean i am not wearing a shirt, boxers, a bathing suit, nothing but the towel and sandals. I do this because i dont like bringing shirts since i lose them, i dont wear boxers since they come off anyway, and because i keep my bathing suit in a locker there. The only downsides to this are that sometimes my towel blows open to the side and exposes my penis, and sometimes if i get an erection it is highly noticable. However cops have seen me and never said anything, and people walk by and dont mind. So should i keep doing it or should i stop.

I believe in God and has been good to him. But lately money has been an issue. Job is slow and money is less and less. I ma stressing out. I dont have anyone who would lend me money and my credit is jammed. I know a few guys who wants to pay and help me if we can make arrangments. I feel so bad because I know I love God and I don't want to sin. BUt, my mind is telling me I need to do somthing, before I get kicked out my place and live on the streets. I don't think selling myself is that bad. I really don't but knowing it is a sin... what should I do;... I tried getting another job but it is real slow... and timing is difficult... Do you guys think I should just go for the money and have sex for money?

I was raised catholic but never felt a close connection with any of the teachings, rituals, or beliefs. I am just now looking into Buddhism but know practically nothing about it. Tell me all you know please. Links to web sites would be great!

Since I haven't had any Christmas spirit in over 10 years, I don't celebrate Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. I don't have any Christmas stuff and my home isn't decorated at all. I'm not closed to my family and I don't have any friends. So I just go online, watch news, eat, and sleep (I've been doing that for over 10 years).

So any of you that don't have any Christmas stuff or anybody in your life that you spend Christmas Eve/Day alone just like any other regular day?

OK..... I've got your attention now read my point before you answer...

Religion is Spirituality for over 99.0% of people (regardless of what religion they profess faith in). However, a whiny minority of "bad folks" ... And yes.... (those whom seek to silence believers simply because they believe) ARE BAD... Spirituality is not vodoo-wacky-factory-"atheism" run amuck... Spirituality-is-has-and-always will be-a relationship with God.... regardless of the faith professed.... "Spirituality" Comes from (AND IS) "FAITH". The overwhelming majority of US Citizens believe in GOD and the "Overwhelming" Majority of them in the Son of God "JESUS CHRIST". How then, do these evil people whom speak from many sides of their mouth here on YA in the R&S forum continue to degrade and belittle believers (of any faith- But primarily Christians) in a sadistic and perverted way? Is it not obvious that truely spiritual people are being silenced on YA?

like lets say you go to best buy and you ask where something is. and then they tell you its here or there but theyre not busy. they just go right back to talking to one of the other workers?

Im saying because I work at a shoe store and I'd be damned if I ever told anyone go here or there. I personally show them where they are. But Im saying cause sometimes I find it annoying that you ask where is such and such and then they never go with you to where it is.

so yeah dont you hate that?

isn't it a lie intended to ruin the Catholic Church?

none in the Catholic Catechism does it say to WORSHIP Mary, so why do people want to believe that Catholics do?

by the way, I thought that in Christianity lying is considered an abomination to God, so why do these people seem to think that spreading lies about the Catholic faith is not considered an abomination to God?

I've never understood this aspect of atheism - why does the universe exist according to atheism? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or in favor of God - I really want to know the atheistic perspective on this. Does atheism always adopt a purely scientific perspective about it and subscribe to the current theories of physics about the universe's creation? Does atheism ever attempt to describe why the universe exists?

who has a back alley abortion. Whenever I read a question about the possibility of outlawing abortion somone always brings up the well being of some woman who would go to extreme lengths to have an abortion wether it was legal or not. Am I really supposed to care about the well being of a woman or girl who would put herself at risk to illegally have an abortion? I really don't. No one cares when a junkie dies of an O.D why would that be any different? I know I sound like some cold hearted ***** but honestly what do you think?

I work in a restaurant. My coworker is a loud, abusive, and obnoxious drunk. She sits down at the bar at the end of every shift and gets wasted, acting like a total moron. The problem is this.... I live a half hour from the restaurant, and it just so happens that she lives a couple blocks from me. She has no car due to a DUI, and she asked me if I could give her rides when we work together. I said okay, because I didn't know how to say No when we live on the same street. So now, she thinks we are the best of friends. She just called my house at 1:15 AM, to tell me some drunken drama. I told her to NEVER call me this late ever again, and now I realize what I'm going to have to deal with in the future. How can I politely tell her that I am not her friend and I cannot give her rides to and from work? Keep in mind, I'm a nice person, and I can be a total pushover at times.

My sister is getting married and asked me to be a bridesmaid. The top half of my back is tattooed (nothing offensive at all), and she has asked me to cover it for the wedding. It is too big to be covered, and I have had it for three years, LONG before she got engaged, and she has always known about it.

Personally I think it is rude that she asked me to be in her wedding and then asked me to change my appearance, while saying I should be honored to do so. None of the bridesmaids dresses she picked will cover my tattoo, and we're not wearing shawls or anything... and it's too big for make-up, so I don't know how she thought I would cover it.

She waited until we were shopping for dresses with the other girls to tell me, then insisted I try on dresses that exposed my entire back.

Am I the only one who thinks she's being bridezilla-ish and a bit rude? Would it be rude to decline the "honor" of being a bridesmaid and tell her I don't really want to be in her wedding?

I ask simply because I've noticed this happens often in our society and I have found that the people who said that were more often than not going through their own 'issues' but simply didn't want the burden of having to deal with someone else's. I find it mean, a polite way of saying you are 'crazy', and a way of downplaying spirituality in our world. Agree or disagree? Isn't the point of being human to go through issues? If we were all perfect, then we would be one with God. I raise this important issue because a number of people have done it to me, yet when they have a problem (no matter how little or big it is), they HARASS me with it even when I say I am 'busy' or forcefully don't want to get involved. Don't they see how hypocritical they are to not 'get help' themselves yet preach that others should? An example: if someone said they speak in tongues, can see ghosts or witnessed a 'miracle', they are almost always met with that response.
