I tend to hold things inside these days, at least the real serious stuff. A lot has happened in my real life over the last year that I can't easily talk about. The death of my mother was maybe the easiest I could. I usually cope pretty well, not letting things pull me down for any length of time, but now I wonder if putting a smile on my face every day isn't causing it to come out in my sleep.I am actually baffled that I went to bed in a good mood and after having these dreams, I am completely bummed out, thinking of all the things that make me sad.Anyone else? less

He is 70 and selfish. They think THEY can make him change his spots? That rigid old leopard? What makes them think they're are so special?

I saw one regularly on EP, telling me things like "Sarah lives four miles from you" - it was a lie of course, but it opened a dating-site that showed it knew roughly I live, within perhaps 50 miles anyway. The advertising-agencies use your approximate location bought or gleaned from the web-site. One though, advertised a "Simple trick to see if you've ever had PPI" (Payment Protection Insurance, usually for mortgages.) I know I do not, and when I did I was not a victim of a miss-selling racket the banks ran for a while, but I selected it out of curiosity. My security software 'Bulldog' promptly leapt up, snarled at it as dangerous, and blocked it.Possibly, Bulldog is very wary of anything mentioning money on non-https web-sites ev... less

But they never forget. It doesn't go away. It is always part of whom they are. It is a fact of life that women have to deal with and they don't all deal with it in the same way. Some try to forget it. Some go into analysis. Some never trust men again so their relationships are often very difficult and short-term. Everyone is permanently damaged by it. So on top of that to let others pile on and accuse them of lying and ulterior motives and wanting money and fame? They'd rather remain silent. Until a dumb-a** like Trump shows up and says on TV that he never acted on his words. That did the trick for several of them to come forward. If the dumb-a** had admitted it and apologized for it they may never have said a word. But he didn't. He said he NEVER acted on any of his words. So he is getting what is coming to... less

I don't know whether it was Donald Jr or Eric...I get them mixed up. But the conversation was about the 2005 Access Hollywood tape and that is how his son defended him.
I think hate would do the most damage but how much damage could fear do? How can what you think/feel affect your body? What is the mechanism at work here?

OF all the dumb-a** responses anyone could give the so-called allegedly religious Ben Carson says it's okay to put morality aside during an election? Seriously?

He said seldom are two such effective speakers from the same family. I thiought they were both excellent but I think Michelle's was superior because of her focus on our obligation to teaching girls they deserve respect. Politics aside, her speech is a classic example of affirmation to our young girls and was given clearly.passionately and from the heart. I cannot recall having heard/seen another one like it. less

Is there any at all or are children SOLELY the responsibility of their parents and once out in the world children are on their own all alone to sink or swim with no help from anyone? Why?
