I quit smoking in January, and though I have had times when I'd like to have one, I was quite proud of myself for not giving in.

Yesterday was a bad day, and I found myself not once, but twice, reaching in my pocketbook as I was driving. I wondered why I was doing that, and realized I was fishing around for a pack of cigarettes!

Had one been there, it would have been a completely unconscious act to light up.

I run a small company the develops software for the blind. Some time ago we were contacted by someone who was teaching a student with some very specific mobility problems. Well, we decided to fashion a solution for the student and did not charge for it. We did not hear from the teacher again - no thank you or anything - until recently when she contacted us again to request more changes. As we are more concerned about the students needs than the teacher's lack of appreciation, we did the changes again and sent the software out. Again, free of charge. The teacher has not contacted us to thank or give any appreciation.

We did this for the student, who we do not know and will never meet. But isn't it a bit rubbish that the teacher doesn't have the consideration to thank us for the efforts?

Does anybody have any good ideas for a halloween costume? My mistress is determined to go with a purple pvc maid dress a sissy mask and ankle and wrist restraints. I would prefer an alice in wonderland outfit or something in satin PVC would be too hot in a club plus last time i went out like that i got a little bit too much unwanted attention!!!!

I'm a guy. I live in Kentucky, in a small town where people are predjudice and cruel. My very dad is as racist and prejudice as it gets, and i have several family members who are in hate groups (kkk). Should I or whould it be wise for me to come out, I've told one friend that I'm gay, but she's the only one. If I open up, is it worth the ridicule, is it worth the pain and adversity, is the possible abuse, the hate. As a 15 year old sophomore in high school I ask you is it worth it? Should I come out of the closet?

How did that work for you? An exe of mine and I have been tossing around the thought of dating, seeing how it goes. We both still have feelings of love for each other, but is it enough? Is it the "right" kind of love?

The relationship we had years ago was fraught with finanical problems, kids problems, and ended in a lot of fighting and nastiness - both of us hitting out in anger I guess because our needs werent being met.

We do have a lot of common interests. Kids are grown, financial problems arent as bad as they were, in fact almost non-existent in terms of debt, smoking is no longer an issue, and we have maintained a friendship of sorts over the years.

We are much older, dont have as much angry energy when it comes to arguing, some things just seem comical now that once caused fights.

Is second time around possible? Have you tried it? Did it work out or was it a dismal failure? I am not saying I am going to give it a go, just wondering if it ever works.

They say things like "I have to put up with some gay guy re-drawing the Last Supper!"

Does anyone else get the joke or should we just let them have their moment of hypocrisy?

I miss my grandpa so much and miss his stories that he used to tell me about his life growing up. Stories about a mean chicken that lived on his farm, how his family was poor and he had to walk to school in the snow with holey shoes, and his first girlfriend, Pearl. What I would give to hear those stories one more time!

I know that nobody could ever take the place of my grandpa but would volunteering at a senior center or "old folks home" be beneficial? There are so many questions that I wish I could ask my grandpa about the "olden days" and I love those stories that older people tell about how life was in the 20's and 30's.

Do elderly people welcome younger people as visitors---could I adopt a grandpal? btw--I'm in my mid 20's.

I watch Montel all the time, and when Sylvia Brown is on the show, she always has answers for everybody. My question is: If she really has all these powers, why isent she out there/on the news telling us/the public where all these missing children are, like that Madeline little girl, or solving crimes of who murdered who instead of telling people/answering them who they are going to marry!

I'm not saying that she is fake or nething, I'm just asking for your opinion in what you think.

Also...... IF YOU could ask Sylvia Brown one question, what would you ask her & Why?

I remember my Elders always refering to it as tin foil.
I have refered to it as aluminum foil since I have been grown. I just didn't realize that there was a difference. You?

The first mass-produced and widely used metal foil was made from tin. Tin foil was replaced by aluminum foil in 1910.

Does everyone feel self-concious or worry about how others' see them?
I was looking back at pictures of my grandfather who passed away 4 years ago. He was such a brilliant, fearless man. I was comparing myself to him and wondering if he felt any concerns about the way others' viewed him as I do about myself. I tend to compare myself to others and judge myself. I worry about what other people think of me and at times feel like I don't measure up. Then I look at my grandfather and I could never imagine him having self doubt. Did he worry about how others' saw him? He wore what was comfortable, ate what he wanted, did what he wanted- I never once saw or heard him not do something because he worried what other people would think about him. Are all older people this way or just my grandpa? Did he have really high self esteem or did I just see no flaws in him? I really think he couldn't care less about what other people thought of him.
