You know, in the old movies while they were working away by their green desk light bankers wore those leather straps around their arms. What were they called, and what were they for? Thanks!

Japan culture is great, but their horror movies, cartoons(anime...) or teenage fachion culture or their sex fantasy is so strange and cool at the same time. I watched some cartoons last time and I had a feeling that the writter of cartoon was on LSD/trip. Everything was so strange and scary. I have the same feeling when I watch Japan horror movies.
Japan people: are you really so freaky or you just have so strange and great imagination?

According to Vedic culture, the cow is one of seven sacred mothers, including, Mother Earth, our birth Mother, the Nurse, etc.... WIth a cow, and an acre of land, one can live self-sufficintly, off the grid, and not have to participate in the madness of consumerism, the exploitation and death of citizens of other countries for their resources. Cow dung has a higher combustibility than wood or coal, used as a free and natural fuel, from milk, butter cheese, yogurt, can be produced for valuable nutritional content. Clarified butter is an amazing medicine that has been used in Ayurvedic natural healing for millenia to cure everything from a coma, to blindness. Considering all of these contributions, how can people be so brain dead to think that the dog is a better friend than the cow ? People in China are looked down upon as heartless to eat their dogs, yet in many other parts of the world we think it is "normal" to kill and eat the cow ??!?!?!

Ok, since 9/11, I have been unable to fully focus on work, or anything else for that matter. The lack of physical evidence to support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and therefore, the injustice of those wars, the injustice of having our Constitution shredded as a result of 9/11 and everything else that goes against the very foundation of FREEDOM as related to 9/11 has made me a scatter-brained fool. I am wrapped up in trying to figure a way to exposed the traitors who are now in the White House, Senate and Congress, not to mention the media.

This being the case, and the battle being, as best I can tell, a lost cause, and my mind remaining consumed seeking a solution to said problems, I am all but completely unable to work, exercise, or even smile. I am the most unhappy person I have ever known. I try to be happy. I try to make jokes. I try to get away from the reality of what our own government has done, but I am unable.

Do you think I could qualify as disabled?

Hi, I'm Russian. I'm making a research for the school diploma. I need to know what Americans think about "family". Could you please write me:
what do you feel when you hear the word family(warm, cold, etc.), how do you perceive family(good, bad, etc.),
how do you picture a family(two people in a big house by the sea,etc.),
notion: the family is...

is. I married for 11 years and three young kids. We are in our early 30's. She is a stay at home mom and I have a good management job that pays well. We are all healthy. The point / question is that I sometimes find it funny when someone comments on how they perceive our family. But as I think about it we put a lot of work into that perception. Kind of sad when you think about it. I know that in a lot of what we do one of the factors is normally how others will view it. As I get older I believe more and more that there everyone really is the same and most families are going through the same issues no mater what their income or social status. Money allows you to put better window dressing on it but that is all. So, how surprised do you think we would all be if just for a little while you could pull all the fluff aside and look into what was really going on in other people lives?

I had a dream a few night ago. Well to give you some background info this I am in love with is going to a college sophomore dance with this other girl so I am pretty much thinking that means that there is no chance for me and him. Well I had this dream that I was playing pretty much a video game against her to win him. (My brother got donkey konga jungle beat for christmas so the game was like that game). Well we started off playing the game and she was beating me 90% to 10%. But later on in the game I began to catch up and go past her flipping the score to me having 90% and her 10% to which I finally got 100% and won the game. What does this mean? Could this signify that he will go out with her and find out she is nothing like me and come back to me and I end up getting him in the end?

I have a cell phone with 1000 minutes a month. I don't use them all, but I get extra because I don't want to pay for overages. I also use my cellphone instead of a house phone or work phone, so I use it more than most.

However, when I am going somewhere, I will sometimes turn it on vibrate, or silent. I go with my grandfather on day-long bike rides, and I will refuse to answer it then. I keep it on vibrate, so I know when it is ringing, and tell people that if it is an emergency, to call me a few times and I will answer it.

However, my girlfriend's parents will leave sometimes, and we get upset if we cannot contact them via cellphone. It seems as though our society has made us available to talk to at any time. It used to be we could only be contacted when we were at home, then we got answering machines, and now we can get a cellphone call almost anywhere.

Is it getting out of hand? Are we loosing our privacy? Or is our country just getting more connected?

What's next?
