about

I'm a raw and living foodest. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what that is I only eat foods that have not been cooked. I do this because it maintains all of the nutrients and enzymes intact and is much healthier. I'm not here to try to convert anyone. I think you can reach maximum health by eating all kinds of foods fixed all kinds of ways. This is simply my life choice. What I'm here to do is help educate people as to what is happening to thier food. Did you know that the pharmaceutical companies have lobbied to have a law voted on called "Codex Aimentarius" that will take away our freedom to take suppliments? It has already been implemented in Europe. Of course it is still ok for them to put steroids, antiboitics and harmones in our foods. Have you wondered why there is a great influx of people acting aggressively and out of character? I'm here to help guide you through this mess. If you want to eat meat...eat meat...just get chemically free meat. I'm here to help you understand what is happening to you.

My friend played a joke on me and I know she was kidding..but I took it too seriously.I yelled at her in class..and then she was trying to talk to me after school but I ignored her and got in my car..I feel so horrible but I'm still mad..What should I do?

I think it is admirable that you are willing to admit that you overreacted. We have all done this. Don’t beat yourself up over it. That is part of why you are still mad. You are mad at yourself too. First of all I want you to understand that I’m not going to tell you to apologize. What I am saying you should do is call her up and recognize that you may have overreacted. This is how this would look. When you get your friend on the phone you will explain how the trick took you off guard and it was an instinctual reaction. You didn’t mean to come off that harshly but you also didn’t appreciate her joke. It hurt your feelings. Tell her you still care about her as a friend and would appreciate it if she wouldn’t pull this type of stunt on you anymore. More than likely you won’t be able to get all of that out because she’ll be apologizing all over the place.

Good Luck!

okay im just wonderin do you think its still okay to go trick or treating at age 14... because like my parents say that i should not go, and i still think i can go..i dont think that i am too old do you..??? i mean u can never get enough free candy right???? well thanks soo much.. and i do rate.!! heatz.. mwah!! and thanks again..!!

I think your never too old to go trick or treating. I did it into my 20's. It was so funny too. People would run and get their cameras to take pictures of me because they couldn't believe it. I had a lot of fun with it. So, I say go trick or treating and have fun. Just be kind to the little kids.

Good Luck!

my boyfriend had a scare about his testicles and found out from test results that he's fine, he has now got it in his head that there's something wrong with every part of his body he thinks he's got cancer and tests have proved he hasn't he keeps asking me if he's fine and has done for the past 4 weeks i love him so much and feel as though it's wrecking our relationship. he's never had a longterm relationship this is his first. what can i do to help him get it out his head? i'm trying to stay strong for him but it's stressful for me especially as we have a 10month old baby please help

This was a very scary moment in his life. Be patient with him. It is going to take him a while to get over this. He had what he considers a close call. If he needs to talk about it let him. I realize it is getting old, but 4 weeks is not that long ago. Cancer can't live in an alkaline body. If he cuts down on eating processed sugary foods and starts eating whole organic foods he can develop an atmosphere w/in his body that would be uncomfortable for cancer to thrive there. I have included some web sites for you to research this on. If you give him some positive things he can do to change his situation he will feel more secure and won’t feel like it is out of his control. If you help him gain control of his health he will be more confindent and less scared. His fear of the unkown is one reason why he has to talk about it so much.

hey i have quite a big ass but i go in at the waist quite a bit then at the top im like not big but not small, c to be exact but like i have huge love handles and whenever i wear like baggy jeans or joggers even if there was falling down is still like look like i was over hang :S!!! i dont get it, is there any exacises or like a certain food im eating thats coursing it, or could it just be my big trunk? x x x

Your body is your body. It is beautiful the way it is. If you're unhappy with it there are some things you can do about it. Cut down on eating processed sugary junk foods. Instead start eating more fruits when you get hungry between meals. Drink lots of water and stay active. Get together with some friends and walk several times a week. It doesn’t have to be walking around the block it could be at the favorite hangout like the mall for example. Just really walk. You will slim down in no time. As you slim down your love handles will disappear. You ought to be happy about the body type you have. You have one of the most beautiful body types there is. The curvy figure is what most guys look for.

Good Luck!

okay well like my friend (lets call her Kelly), well i though kelly was my best friend, and she was for a few years, but she knew other people in this other town and started hanging out there ALL the time and met this girl (lets call her linda) and linda and kelly became like BEST FRIENDS .. and now kelly barely like wants to hang out with me and like when i ask kelly to hang out she avoids the subject and then a day later i find out she avoided the subject cuz she already had plans with linda.
but sometimes i ask her to hang out first before she has any plans but then linda asks her to hang out AFTER i asked her and she said to me .. "sorry i cant go" and she hung out wit linda.
and now i have no plans for halloween this year cuz i got in a fight with my other bestfriend and now kelly is spending halloween with linda.
no one cares about my feelings and people push me around and i have no confidence and i cant really stand up for myself so i just kinda let people walk all over me.

What I'm about to say may come across as mean at first, but believe me, that is not my intent. I only want to see you have a happy life and get everything you say you want. The reason that you are in this mess is because you do let everyone walk over you. It’s totally up to you what happens to you. People have little respect for those who let them walk all over them. That may be part of the problem with Kelly. Also, You may be coming across to her as almost begging her to be with you. This would be irritating and exasperating to someone. You don’t actually have to be begging and on your knees to come across this way. It is all in your tone and inflection of the voice. People listen to more than just the words when in a conversation. People also look at the expression on your face and how you move around too. So, I wouldn’t share my feelings with her right now If I were you. It would simply come across a begging and drive her farther away. Now, we have to start changing some of your habits. From now own when you ask your friend to hang out and she says no for whatever reason go-“ok, I’ll get together with Jennifer (name I made up).” Next time you see her talk all about how much fun you and Jennifer had doing whatever. Then ask her if she wants to join the two of you for something else. If she says no, be ok with it. Just keep telling her about all the fun you are having doing the things you are doing. Ask her what she’s been up to and listen with interest if she is telling you about her other friend and how much fun they are having. However you are finding out that she is spending time with Linda, use that to let her know you know she is with Linda. Tell her you want to hear all about what they are doing, that you’re interested. After she’s done telling you about her adventures say something like, “That sounds like a lot of fun, good for you.” Then let it drop unless she wants to continue talking about it. If she does just listen. Be happy for her. You could also invite Linda to join the two of you to hang out as well. Invite Kelly and Linda to sleep over sometime. This way you could get to know Linda…. who knows you may like her too. This may take a while to accomplish so; we need to figure something out for this weekend. I wish I knew what your argument was with your other friend but since I don’t well, I’ll just have to muddle through it. All I can think of here is you may have to suck it up and call her and be nice. Another idea…there have to be other people out there that you know who you can call and ask if you can join them. They may not be people who you like as well as your other friends, but, you can still have fun. You can make it fun no matter who you wined up being with. Don’t let these little set backs bring you down. Have fun no matter where you find yourself. If you do this, you will forget about being sad and you will feel much better and always have fun. This will come across to people that you are a strong person and everyone will want to be with you. Lastly, yes, I care about your feelings. I want to see you happy.

okay well i was going to ask this boy out on the computer...i RLY like him and ppl say he rly likes me and it looks like it because all he does is flirt with me and only me but when i ask someone to ask him if he likes me...he'll say no! the other day i asked my friend chelsey at my other friends party to tell him he should go out with me and he said no!!! and then on the computer a few weeks ago chelsey asked him if he would ever go out with me and he said he didnt know...now is he just doing this because he doesnt want to admit that he'll like me? i rly like him and EVERYONE says he likes me and some of his friends even told me he said he liked me but why is he doing this if he does!? should i just ask him out and get on with my life if he doesnt!? please help...ill rate 5's for any advice unless its mean

Be patient with him. He's really shy. What I suggest you do is start becoming his friend. Start talking to him at parties and start hanging out with him. Whenever you see him someplace, like school or the mall, say hi and work on being his friend first. If you get that uncomfortable feeling when you do this at first just make the contacts short ones. This will help him to feel comfortable with you and it will be easier for him, then, to ask you out. If you go ahead and ask him out it might take him off guard and he might say no because that is just what came out of his mouth at the time, not because he meant it. But, it will already be said. Relax and have fun...it will work out.

Yes, you’re right. Something is going on. Start calling them on the phone and ask them if there was anything that you did lately that has them angry with you. You may have said something to someone unintentionally that hurt their feelings and everyone is backing them up. They feel for them and want this person to feel better. It could be that you did something that bothered these girls and you were totally unaware that what you were doing would bother them. But, you might want to reflect back. Was there anything recently that you said or did that the little voice in your head was telling you that you shouldn’t? Have you had the feeling of a rush, like blushing, only it doesn’t feel right while you were doing or saying anything? If this is yes, then, you need to start here and reflect on what went on here. Look at the moment that you had this feeling and see if it could have been hurtful at all, even if you had no intention to hurt anyone. If you can see that you hurt an individual. Start with this person and call her and let her know how badly you feel for hurting her feelings. Then call the other girls and let them know that you called the injured party and how badly you feel. If it’s the group that was offended, you need to start calling them all. But, if it’s because these girls want you to do something you don’t want to do…. then my answer is simple. They aren’t truly your friends anyway. Start making yourself a new set of good friends.

Good Luck!

Hi. I'm 13/m and my sister is 14/f. Last night she was IMing a friend from another state who said he wanted to have sex with his girlfriend. Then they got into a discussion on why it's right or wrong to have sex before age 16. My sister believes that she should wait until she is 16. I belief any pre-marital sex is wrong, and I refuse to lose my virginity until I am married.

Later in their conversation (I was being a little brother and looking over her shoulder) he said that my sister's boyfriend wants sex too. My sister said no, but the other guy was just like "ooooooo yes he does". Then I remembered that theory that all a guy ever wants is sex. Hence, the song Punk Rock 101 by Bowling For Soup: "She thinks that it's love, but to him, it's sex!"

I don't trust her boyfriend. I've transferred a call to my sister, and he really didn't sound all that great. Also, my sister refuses to let me meet him in any way. He can't come over, because I just can't meet him. I tried to IM him. My sister told him to block me. What the hell?

I'm afraid of two things: number one, does he want sex? Saying no is probably harder than it sounds... and number two, will this change her image of him? Will she be consious of the fact that he may or may not want sex? I know if I were in her shoes, I would. I don't know... I'm just worried for her...

I feel for you. This is a toughie. It isn't your responsibility to worry about your sister and what decisions she may make. It is her life and she needs to make her own choices whether or not they are right or wrong. I know it’s tough to sit by and watch someone do something you don’t think is good for them. The key here is that this is simply your opinion. You don’t know what is going to happen. Yes, young men are always ready for sex. That does not mean that they will follow through with it. Your sister’s boyfriend probably does want to have sex. Again, that does not mean he will actually do anything about it. He probably has shared with his friends that he’d like to do this or that to your sister. When guys get together those are the types of things they talk about. He’s attracted to your sister, that’s why they are together. It doesn’t mean he will act on it. It could be just talk. I have learned through experience that when someone nags another continually about something it is that something that the person will go and do. Have you never done something that your parents didn’t want you to do because you didn’t get what all the fuss was about and you wanted see for yourself what it was all about? Well, you could be putting your sister in this same type of situation. She may start feeling sorry for him because he is being falsely accused and then out of these feelings do something she may regret later. Back off a little. You’ve let her know how you feel. Stop trying to speak to her boyfriend. That would really be out of place. He may not have sounded that great over the phone because he thinks you already don’t like him. Your sister probably told him what the two of you have been talking about. I agree with you. I think 16 is too young to have sex. I admire you for your convictions to wait until you are married. I hope it works out for you this way. It will make the experience all together exceptional and you won’t regret it. This is what you do have control over, yourself. I’m not telling you to stop expressing your opinions. Your entitled to them and it is important for you to get your thoughts out. I’m just saying that you shouldn’t do it in an accusatory manner. Watch the infection in your voice. Sometimes when we say something people don’t hear what we say, they hear how we say it. That’s why people might get mad at something said when the words alone are nothing to be angry about. They are hearing how it was put. They’ll start thinking you meant one thing when you had a totally different meaning. People hear what they want to hear and the infection in the voice is very important. Approach your sister differently on this subject. Begin by letting her know how much you love her and only want the best for her. Don’t approach her in a heated manner. If she asks you to back off, respect that. She’s entitled. Don’t pursue the boyfriend anymore. It really is up to your sister what happens. He can try all he wants but, if your sister says no, it’s no. Most guys will try something and that in itself doesn’t make them bad. It’s how they react to no that matters. If they stick with you even though you say no, they are worth sticking with. If they break up with someone after a no, they are not someone that you would want to be with anyway.

I hope I was helpful,

I have this friend and she is so gorgeous. So many guys like her and she is always talking about how they stare at her and how so many people call her beautiful. I try to be nice, but i can't help it, i am so jealus of her. Sometimes i'll be really mean to her but i dont mean to be and i feel so bad. She's really nice to me, but but whenever i bring up a topic about myself, she'll change the subject and talk about a guy liking her. Is there any way i can stop being jealus of her and get her to listen to me? thanks in advance.

I know this will surprise you what I'm about to say, but your friend sounds like she has an inferiority complex. The reason I say this is because she needs a lot of reassurance. Her home life might not be as great as she leads you to believe it to be. Someone in her life is putting her down. This is why she wants to talk all the time about how these boys are admiring her. She wants confirmation and talking about it with you helps her. But, she is being selfish. This is not fair to you her friend. You need to let her know how you feel about this. Do this now while it only mildly bothers you. Don’t do it when you are angry or agitated with her. I know this is difficult for you. We’ve all been jealous of someone so we can all relate to the feelings. There is nothing wrong with having the feelings; it is how you handle your feelings that count. Don’t let these feelings overwhelm and control you. Also think about this. Could your feelings also be, agitation and aggravation instead of jealousy? I know I’d be aggravated by it. Just a thought.

but my friend is a chrisitan. He wants me to go to church with him every week, and im not all that enthusiastic. I feel guilty for even thinking about saying no because i get all self concious when i think of him thinking of me as a sinner. Anyways we were having a very good time at a footbal game and then we were talking about stuff and somehow the topic just came up about dying. He was like, no offense but if you died right now i think you'd go to hell. He was being really serious. Well, it depressed the hell out of me. Im a nice person, i dont try to judge people, i like to share, my morals are higher then anyone elses and then i get depressed because i cant live up to them. I was really hurt but i didnt let on. He wouldnt elaborate, he said we could talk about it on the phone sometime. Well, do you think it was right of him to say that? Or am i just being dumb? I cant help but feel like im some kind of 'project' hes trying to save...

First of all, it is your life, not his. You have the right to make whatever decisions you choose with regards to religion. I realize you friend is worried about you and you should be grateful that you have a friend that cares that much about you. He is totally enmeshed in the propagandized Christian faith. The church has spent thousands of years coming up with the best population control techniques out there. It was Constantine who put together the niacin council. These are the group of men who decided what was going to go into the Christian bible. These same men included books written by people 100 years after Christ and excluded books written by his own disciples. Constantine also changed the holy day from Saturday to Sunday in honor of his much worshiped and revered sun god. This is how Sunday got it’s name. The church perpetuated wars in its name. I have a copy of an Aramaic bible. Aramaic is the language that Jesus spoke. It is a more direct translation than the King James or other conventional versions of the bible. It has a totally different translation than what is being taught to the mainstream. The church uses fear to control the masses. It keeps people dancing to their beat.

Do I believe in Jesus? Yes. Do I believe he was a special individual and of an unusual birth? I’m open. A historian of Jesus’ time does document his existence. There is a book written by Peter or Paul (I’m not sure which). In this book Christ first makes him promise not to tell anyone but he then confides that we are all going to make it . The reason he doesn’t want him to spread the word is because he said he knew people would not keep on striving to be better, and this is important. If you listen to his messages there is only one message that heads the list. We are put here to love each other unconditionally and that is all.

Let me sum this up with one thought. Nothing matters. This is all an illusion anyway. This is nothing but a virtual reality game that we’ve come to play for whatever reason. We do know that reason before coming here but our memories are blocked while here. There are certain tasks we are to accomplish in order for us to ascend. If we don’t learn what is important for us to learn we get to come back (reincarnation) until this mission is accomplished. When we leave here we go back to the knowing, the I am. We are moved up and down the latter according to how we do from one life game experience to the other. It is all about how we play. It’s just, no one is going to hell, but we can ascend the latter quicker if we are good to each other and don’t purposefully hurt one another. So, your right, you will be just fine because you are a good person.

You may want to have a talk with your friend. Let him know how much you admire him for sticking to his convictions. Tell him how much you appreciate his caring enough about you to be concerned. Then let him know that although you would love to accompany him occasionally to church, you don’t want to go every Sunday. If he would like for you to join him for something like a movie, etc., afterwards you will be there. When he brings up the subject of religion, politely change the subject. Let him know that it would be better for your friendship if you didn’t discuss this particular subject.

my best friend since auguest is a grade lower than me. well obviously she knew my crush (in my grade) because i would obsess over him every day. well she went out with my freind in my grade. they broke up. but then today, i head that she was going out with my crush and its true!! im so mad at her! how LOW is that?!!! shes like "i thought you didnt like him anymore" im like "COME ON thats why i talk about him and obsess over him every day!!???!!!! give me a effin break!" so i was a crying during school. i HATE THIS. she broke up with him but im NEVER going to forgive her for this!!!

what do i do? thanks 4 reading

I agree with you that this is below low. This was a definite act of betrayal. I know how devastating this is for you right now and you need some time to collect your emotions. But, for your sake you do need to forgive her. This is for you and not her. Remember, she at least did break up with him when she saw how strongly you felt about this. She made a mistake. You've made mistakes before and the both of you will again in the future. Her breaking up with him shows she is remorseful. I'm not saying go running back to her and be her best friend. You should be cautious about her. She could definitely do something like this again to you sometime in the future. I am saying make peace with her. This is for you I am saying this. You really will feel much better and a stronger person in the long run if you do this.

Good Luck!

is this normal? i mean ive only been smoking for about 3 months.. im not on 20 day.. im not even on 5 a week... more like 2 a week, it takes me about 2/3 weeks to get through a pack of 10.
could some one tell me why im feeling dizzy when i smoke?
thanks x x

you could make up your own super hero. What ever I say here are just suggestions. Use your imagination. Maybe some of these will inspire you. You could be Super Teen and carry a boom box around playing favorite music. Make a cape and with glue write what you want to say on the back of your cape and then sprinkle it with glitter. Or, you could go as you regularly dress to school and when people ask where your costume is you can say, "I'm wearing it". This is how super teen dresses. I did that one year at work. We were all suppose to dress up. I was a sales person. They asked where my costume was and I told them I was in costume, I was a sales person. I told them I don't dress like this at home. You could also be super chocolate and dress all in brown. Buy some cake shoe polish and put it on your face. Make a little hat with aluminum foil. Carry a bag of cholcolates to hand out. How about super chic. Dress up really nice with makeup on and then carry a huge purse with everything in it like makeup, hair dryer, mirrors, brushes etc. Your there in a pinch if anyone has a fashion crisis.

I hope I was able to inspire you!

Im not anti-christian, infact im christian myself but, why do christians think that witchcraft is wrong? Its another religion just like Buhdism and christianity itself.

All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of anothers credulity."

-----The Catechism of the Catholic Church

When Christianity first started to become popular and accepted they would convert people by giving away food, clothing and shelter to those who needed it. Nothing wrong with this. When it started to develop a higherarchie and the religion became accepted among governmental rulers of the world it worried them when they encountered local popular religions that the locals didn't want to let go of. One of the methods the church used to get people to join the church was absorb the local traditions and holidays into church practice. A couple of those holidays is Christmas, which was the winter solstice and another is Easter which was the celebration of spring. The church changed Christmas into Jesus Christ’s birthday, but kept the tradition of the tree and gift giving. Easter was the celebration of spring and the renewal of life. They used this to symbolize Christ rising from the dead again. We also have kept the symbols of the bunny, which represented fertility and the egg, which represented rebirth in the old traditions. Now we have the Easter Bunny who delivers eggs and candy. When there were people who wanted to continue in the old ways and religion the church would demonize them and burn anyone at the stake that would not convert. Witchcraft is actually a term that was brought about by the church. It also wasn't hard to accuse someone of witchcraft in those days and it stick. If someone didn't like someone or they were mad at them they could accuse someone of witchcraft and it would be up to the accused to prove otherwise. It was near to impossible to prove you were not a witch once accused. If you were good with animals you were a witch. If you knew what herbs to use for diseases, you were a witch. Midwives were burned at the stack because this was viewed as witchcraft. In a nutshell, anything the church perceived as a threat the church would demonize them or it.

Did you know that the first thousand years priests could marry? In some parts of the world they still can like Greece for example. They could not eradicate this practice everywhere. It was a man made decision that they become celibate. Becoming Pope was a bloody battle for ages. Priests would murder each other to get this position. There are many Popes who had children too. Did you know the church brought about the historical “dark ages”? It was their attempt at controlling the populace. They deemed it illegal for anyone to be able to read with the exception of a few elite. This way they could keep people in fear which is one of the best control methods.

It may come across to you that I am anti-Christian. This is farthest from the truth. I’m just anti-propaganda. The church has changed Christ’s intent. I have read the bible through twice. That by no means makes me an expert. I have never read anywhere in the bible where Christ is trying to start a new religion. He does say follow me for I am the way, this is true, but, he was trying to reform Judaism. Jesus was a rabbi, though a radical one for the times. He felt the people had wondered from the true faith and was trying to gather them back. I have a bible, which is directly translated from Aramaic. This is the language that Jesus spoke. What you read here is totally different from what you find in the King James version and many others. These other versions of the bible came out as a direct result to control us. The niacin council was formed by Constantine and it was they who picked out which gospels would be put into the bible. Constantine changed the holy day from Saturday to Sunday in honor of his favorite god the sun god. He wrote something called the niacin creed. He ordained that it had to be recited during chrurch service and any priest that didn't do it would be beheaded. Well, you guessed it...some where beheaded. There are gospels that were writen by some of Christ's deciples that never made it into the bible, and then, some that were written 100 years after christ that did make it in.

I could go on and on about this subject. I’ve been to Israel and had my baptism reconfirmed in the Jordan River. The place is amazing. It is spring feed and is crystal clear water. Nothing like that which you see in the movies.

A personal note. If you look at all of the religions you will find a lot of similarities. They are all speaking of the same entity. Spirits of the forest are Angels to us. The many gods are arch angles to us. I have read documentation that Jesus in his lost years visited India and studied there. Look at how he sits and prays (Buddhists call it meditate). Look at all of the depictions of him holding his hands out palms forward. This is a typical stance in the Buddhist faith to be receptive of positive energy. The Buddhist faith is full of healings that are exactly like those Christ performed. Yogis perform miracles exactly like them today. So, for anyone to call another faith evil only shows how little they know. I believe all the major religions are God’s attempt to reach his flocks. Thousands of years ago there was no television, so, he contacted people within their cultures and helped them with their particular needs. We are all children of God.

To anyone, but especially to other Wiccans:
Hey,
I'm a Wiccan, and I think it's a beautiful religion and I really love it, but lately I'm finding I just don't have the time. I've read so many things that just say 'MAKE the time!' but that is so impractical when you are fifteen and in the middle of 21 GCSEs and an A Level (I kid you not...if you are English you will appreciate how hard that is lol)! I really desperately want to be a better Wiccan, to learn more about my religion, to be closer to the God and Goddess and nature, but I have no idea how. I walk to school and so I often try and think about and appreciate the nature...but I'm usually half asleep! Does anyone have any ideas?
I know that spellcraft isn't the only element of Wicca, and it is by no means the most important, so please don't suggest that I just 'do some spells'...for one I don't have the time and for another, my faith in this religion isn't quite so superficial that I can make myself believe I am being a better Wiccan by waving an athame through some incense smoke a few times a week. As Scott Cunningham once wrote in an excellent article, the ritual doesn't mean a thing if you don't mean it mentally. True Wiccanism relies on belief, not ritual.

I am not a Wicca, but how I view life can certainly apply here. Sleep is actually tapping you into another realm. What you seem to be doing is fighting the between worlds your experiencing on your way to school. Instead of fighting it, tune into it. Notice the different sounds you will hear. Notice how the animals around you are communicating to each other. The trees are reaching out to you and want your acknowledgement. The wind is brushing past your check to welcome you into the day. As you practice this tuning into other perspectives of life you will notice the animals will be communicating with you. They will stop and not be afraid of you, though I never advise anyone to play with a wild animal. Start speaking to them as you see them. They will stop and listen. Do not approach them if they pause. Just look at them with love in your heart and after a while simply walks on. You will notice they are not so scary. I made friends with a mother bear and her cubs this summer. She would come to my mother's home and just hang out. I'd go out to take pictures and she'd just sit there while her cubs played around. I never approached her or her babies but we got a good look at each other. I do not want you to do this. I can only do this because I have no fear. Animals sense the fear and malice in us and this is what makes them attack us first. It’s self-preservation. I have spiders that are my friends. They protect my home (on the outside) from bugs I don’t want in my home. I can think of one spider in particular and she will make her web at my front door within a day. I had a pregnant cat who, when I was out of town, came to me in a dream that she was ready to go. I rushed home and as soon as I got into the house she ran into the closet where I fixed a place for her and she had her babies. I wasn’t watching her (I like to give animals their privacy) and all of a sudden she jumped up on me with her behind in my face. One of the kittens was breach. I pulled it out for her. She could have died had she not done this. I have experience with these things and know my limits. I know them because I have practiced tuning in. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a true Wicca practice is in every moment of the day. Everything is a spell. The incense is the aroma of the world around you. Pay homage to these things and you will be casting your own spells with better results. The ancients lived Wicca, they didn't do it the way we do today. Yes, they did have special ceremonies, but mostly it was with every moment of every day. They became one with nature in spirit and appreciated everything around them. They saw the wisdom that was in the spiritual world that surrounded them. They acknowledged that all life is spiritual. So, you don't have to make time. Also, look at Native American religions; they have close similarities to Wicca.

Good Luck!

ok my best friend since a year ago and i get along really well for girls like we dont talk bad about each other or anything right? but now ive started to realize all she cares about is herself like today at lunch her and a friend werent gonna go to lunch bc they went to the library and i was in the line w/ my friend and when we got back she had moved my lunch across the table and sat down in my spot i kno its the stupidest thing to get mad about but i am and the bigger reason is we made plans over the summer to go to fright fest with each other and it turned into a group thing but now she wants to ditch us and go to a friends party instead and she promised me shed go and shes only known this guy for like 2 months i thought friends were more important she wants me to go sunday instead of saturday but i dont want to bc my other friend are counting on me to go and i dont want to just ditch them like that what should i do??? shes starting to get on my nerves and starting to blame me for stuff that happens that is totally out of my control likes shes so innocent and doesnt deserve whatever happens to her anyways sorry this is so sorry but please, help!!!

You didn't touch on it much, but, it sounds to me like there is a boy involved. Yes, I agree with you, a person should never put someone new before a good and long standing friend. But, when thee is a boy involved, all bets are off. girls do crazy things to each other when they want a boyfriend. Be patient with her. She'll coome out of it if you stand by her. Also, you might want to look at the feelings that are coming up for you because of this. Are you feeling a little neglected and hurt. If so, it is perfictly understandable. Don't let these feelings turn into something else that could ruin what you have with her. Don't worry about it, let her off the hook. Tell her never mind about going to fright fest with you. I know your disappointed about it but you can have fun with the other girls you are going with. Then after this weekend and when you have some time to talk together alone you can share your feelings with her. Don't do it angrily. If you do it with anger you could possibly do irreperable damabe to your relationship. It's tough, I know, but simply continue being her best friend. The next time you get together with her afther Fright Fest ask her how her party went. Be interested (or at least look like it). I wish you the best of luck with this.

GOOD LUCK!

My boyfriend just asked me if it was alright for him to spend the night at his best friend's house. His four best friends are girls. there's gonna be two other guys, but I still don't really like the outlook on it; he's gonna be all night with 5-6 other girls.

is this dumb of me?

My question is: and why aren't you invited? If I were having a sleep over that was mixed company and I wanted to invite a friend of mine who was in a relationship, I'd invite both people. Since you were not included in this invite, I would be suspicious of the motives here. Something isn't right here. Be very cautious.

Good Luck!

can someone give me a sentene with the word BEDLAM in it?

rate 5s

The party culminated into bedlam.

After the hurricane subsided the looters ransacked the stores creating bedlam in the streets.

The croud turned on the speaker and it was complete bedlam.

Good Luck!

I'm 16 and I've never been in love. I'd just like to know if anyone else out there has ever been in my position, because I really feel alone. All of my friends throw around the word "love" after having a 2 hour bf/gf relationship. But, I'm scared when I'm older that I won't ever have that one person to wake up and want to be with everyday! It like scares me. Had anyone else been in my position?

My boyfriend didn't have his first girlfriend until he was 25. He is one of the most amazing men I have ever met. He has had some of the most beautiful women fall head over heels in love with him. I guess what I'm saying is...don't worry so much about it. It will happen a lot quicker if you relax and just let it happen when it happens. You see, one of those murphy law things is a watched kettle doesn't boil. As long as your worrying about it it won't happen. what I'm about to say is a hard concept to get, but, here goes. When you worry and stress yourself about something people pick up on this. They see you are stressed and perceive you as uptight. People don't want to be in a relationship with someone whom they feel is uptight. This repells people. Relax, don't worry about it. Know that it will happen. Work yourself up a group of friends who are periodically in and out of relationships or single like you and go to the movies. Do things together. Enjoy life. When you are enjoying life most and you have that special light that is within you shinning through...they will be there.

Good Luck

Ok, so i have this really outdated laptop that never works.. i really want a notebook type thing. I went on all types of stores to find one. I really want a GOOD notebook.. but i only have abut 800 bucks and i want one REASONABLY priced.. say about 800 or less. Please help me
i rate high.. if you could.. supply me with internet sites so i can check them out! thanks

I bought one on ebay for $400 and mine is IBM. My sister-in-law got one on ebay for the same amount of money and it was a Dell. It was a refurbished one. She was having problems with the keyboard and called Dell. The next day they had someone from Dell at her house fixing it. They totally rebuilt the computer in her home and it is fantastic. Also, Dell is running all kinds of specials on brand new notebook type computers. You could probably get an excellent one for around $800 from them. You get great service from them. Here's a link to them:

http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/notebooks_au?c=au&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

They are advertising a notebook right now for $893 delivered to your home. Just copy and paste the link into your search engine.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck!
