Thinking about suicide? Think about this
You've decided to do it. Life is impossible. Suicide is your way out.
Fine--but before you kill yourself consider these facts:
Suicide is not usually successful.
You think you know a guaranteed way?
Ask the 25-year-old who tried to electrocute himself. He lived. But, both his arms are gone.
What about jumping?
Ask John. He used to be intelligent , with an engaging sense of humor. That was before he leapt from a building. Now, he's brain- damaged and will always need care. He staggers and has seizures. He lives in a fog. But, worst of all, he KNOWS he used to be normal.
What about pills?
Ask the 12-year-old with extensive liver damage from an overdose. Have you ever seen anyone die of liver damage? You turn yellow. It's a hard way to go.
What about a gun?
Ask the 24-year-old who shot himself in the head. Now he drags one leg, has a useless arm and has no vision or hearing on one side. He lived through his "foolproof" suicide.
You might too.
But...
Who will clean your blood off the carpet or scrape your brains from the ceiling? Commercial cleaning companies may refuse that job- -but SOMEONE has to do it. Who will have to cut you down from where you hung yourself or identify your bloated body after you've drowned?
Your father?
Your mother?
Your wife?
Your son?
The carefully worded "loving" suicide note is of no help. Those who loved you will NEVER completely recover. They'll feel regret and an unending pain.
Suicide is contagious. Look around your family. Look closely at the 4 year old playing with his cars on the rug. Kill yourself tonight, and he may do it ten years from now.
You DO have other choices. There are people who can help you through this crisis. Call a hotline. Call a friend.
Call your minister or priest. Call a doctor or hospital.
Call the police.
They will tell you that there's hope. Maybe you'll find it in the mail tomorrow. Or in a phone call this weekend. But what you're seeking could be just a minute, a month, or a day away.
You say you don't want to be stopped? Still want to do it?
Well, then, I may see you in the psychiatric ward later.
And we'll work with whatever you have left.
I love you all LOTS

ok last valentines day my b/f took me to buy a puppy. i wanted the first one i saw a little pekinese puppy. i was purebred so he paid 900.00 for the dog. i've never had a dog before just cats and i didn't know what i was getting myself into. now i can't stand the dog. i can't train it to go to the bathroom outside, its super hyper, jumps on my son and tries to hump him. i can't imagine how much it would cost to fix him. i want to get rid of the dog but my b/f doesn't. we're constantly fighting about it. any suggestions on what to do? (link)

Well I know its hard but to train the dog you need to give him a treat when he goes to the bathroom out side get some stuff to spray out side that they can only smell and it smells like pee. And to fix him its about $150.00 but if you dont want to put an add in the paper just put some signs around your neighborhood or some thing like that, that wont cost anything
Hoped I helped
