I am Lovable and Capable Part lll: How to Stop Your Sign From Ripping

I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

It is OK to argue and even to be angry at your partner. In fact, this dynamic is an essential part of any equal and satisfying relationship. When we express a difference of opinion or we adamantly disagree with our mate we are creating an opportunity for negotiation, compromise and resolution. When we emerge on the other side of an argument in ...

Vitamin D and Me

DrOrrange

Vitamin D is readily available through sun exposure and as a supplement yet there are new reasons to believe we are not getting as much Vitamin D as we need. Vitamin D deficiency can be discovered on a blood test done by your physician and is defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels < 20 to 30 ng/mL. Depending on the age group and season we ...

Journal Entry for May 16, 2008

Friday, May 16, 2008

Well I have some good news. I checked my email today and suprisingly enough I got a conditional offer of employment from the Montgomery County Fire Department. I honestly didn't think I was going to make it this far but I have and it's kinda hard to believe. All that is left is the medical examination (which I know I'm gonna pass because I don't even touch drugs) and the Candidate...

Clinging

Friday, May 16, 2008

If we are banished to Hell for suicide, is there a sliding scale depending on how long we managed to stick around hoping for our lives to end on another timeline? Or does it depend on the method that is used to end or shorten the lifespan?
I cling onto mortality out of hope for a small room to peacefully spend my eternity and, while I cling, this life becomes more and more bleak.

this song goes out to all those in hard long distance relationships.
westlife: no place that far.
I can't imagine any greater fear
Than waking up without you here
And though the sun would still shine on
My whole world would all be gone
But not for long
If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you...

oh father by madonna

Thursday, May 15, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

its funny that way
you can get used to the tears and the pain
what a child will believe you never loved me
i got away from you i never thought i would
you once had the power
i never felt so good for myself
seems like yesturday
i lay down next to your boots and i prayed
for your anger to end
oh father i have sinned
i got away from you i never thought i would
you once had the power
i never felt so good about ...

Best Friends

Thursday, May 15, 2008

I couldnt sleep and I found this on the board:
This is a definition of a best friend. I don't need any more freinds I already have a best friend but just to share what I think it means:
A friend is a person that we know and have a bond of mutual affection, trust and respect for their friend this is typically exclusive of family members.
A person who acts as your supporter and offers help for n...

A Proud Brother

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Tomorrow I will see my brother walk across the stage and receive his Ph.D. in Political Economy and Public Policy...and I couldn't be prouder. Not only will it serve as the culmination of nearly 7 years of hard work, but it will truly represent a lifetime achievement of which there have been many ups and downs. And I will be honored to be able to watch his...

Video Game Addiction Information

Game addiction is a form of psychological addiction related to a compulsive use of computer and video games, most notably MMORPGs - open ended, online video games known for their depth, breadth, and social interaction. People suffering from this form of addiction may experience intense cravings to play the game and may also suffer symptoms of withdrawal when they stop playing the game. Those affected may also enter long periods of self-imposed social isolation where friends and family are excluded. One example of this is the gamer widow, a term used to designate a spouse or significant other who has been neglected because of the video game addiction.
