I'm not even eating all of my points, and I still can't loose. I've been at the same weight for 3 weeks, and my goal is still over 100 lbs away.

Have you ever experienced this? What did you do about it?

I've been practicing Wicca alone for almost 4 years now. I would really like to study with a High Priestess, but I don't even know where to begin looking. Any suggestions???

I have severe back pain which causes one of my legs to go numb, and sometimes my leg completely gives out. I often use a cane, but I am concerned about falling or injuring myself further in the workplace. Do you think it would be out of place for me to use a wheelchair at work even though I am still able to walk on my own (on most days)? Do you think an employer would be more willing to accommodate someone in a wheelchair, or someone who looks able bodied, but cannot bend over or lift more than 20 lbs?

My feet are also tingling and I'm having sciatic nerve pain in my back/buttocks. Any ideas???

My friend has just left her husband because of domestic violence. She has 3 boys, 10, 15, and 17 years old. She is permanently disabled and is on state assistance. Her social security has not been approved yet. In the mean time she and her boys are staying in a friend's basement, but a permanent residence is needed. Apartments are too expensive. Does anyone have any other ideas???

I am frustrated beyond belief. I basically want to cut out the people in my pictures and put them on a different background. My hand is not very steady so the lasso tool is difficult for me to use. The magic wand tool just picks out differences in color. Help please!!! What am I doing wrong, or what is the trick to simple photo editing???

I am in my 30's. I've been thinking about this off and on for years, but always get an urge to go ahead and do it everytime I see my cousin. She is very close to me, and we do not get to see each other regularly. (only about once a year) She had her tongue done about 10 years ago and it looks really good. Her piercer did a great job.

I'm wondering (because I am too close to the situation to be objective) if it seems that I have a case of "tongue envy", or if my desire is legit.

I also had a dream last night about having it done. I was excited in the dream, and had a lot of fun picking out which 'fixture' I wanted on the end of my barbell.

So, what do you think?

In my dream...

I was admitted to the hospital for gastric bypass surgery. Upon doing a pre-op cat scan to see how my organs had re-arranged themselves after having a hysterectomy last year (a real event) the doctor discovered that I had a partially calcified fetus attached to my intestines.

The doctor said that somehow I had gotten pregnant following my surgery, and because I have no uterus, the fetus attached it's self to my intestines, but obviously it could not survive.

I went into the operating room, and when I came out, I had a tummy tuck, gastric bypass and was asked if I wanted to see the fetus. I said yes, and the nurse brought over this tiny baby boy hardly larger than her palm. I asked that she get my husband and while I was waiting for him to come into the room, I woke up.

BACKGROUND:

I did have a hysterectomy.

I regret not having another child while I had the chance.

I am obese.

I recently saw a television program about tummy tucks.

I'm too close to my own feelings to be objective at this time. That is why I'm asking for your help. I am aware that my background info is tied directly to this dream, but was wondering if there was anything deeper that stood out to anyone.

So, my husband and I are having a little bit of money trouble. We asked his dad for a loan so that we could get caught up on some household bills. About 3 weeks later, I scraped together some money for a tattoo that I have been wanting for a VERY long time. The opportunity presented it's self, and I went for it. I have always been the financially responsible one, while my husband has been known to spend (loose) a little too much at the poker table. But now my Father in Law is upset with me. What do you think about this, and should I confront my FIL?

How much snow do you have?

I've got about 5 inches. (South Pierce County)

How can I prove to my husband that getting a degree in Social Services/Mental Health will not condemn us to a life of poverty? All he ever focuses on is money. The fact that this area of study interests me and that it will fulfill my desire to help others is not enough for him. He's got this idiotic idea in his head that if we are not both making 60 to 70 K a year that somehow we will not be able to provide our children with a good life. (Which is just ridiculous.)

Give me some good zingers, or help me out with some facts about social work that I can use to prove him wrong.

I've spent the last 6 years with the same company, and then was laid off after a buyout. I've been looking for a part time job in order to spend some time with my family (after 6 years of 50 hour weeks), but cannot get hired. Everyone says I'm over qualified for everything I apply for. Being a military spouse, I am eligible to go back to school, but am totally confused on where to make my next step. I'm in my 30's with 2 school aged children. Any advice???

I had this dream last night that I went over to this family's house because they wanted to communicate with the father/husband and I was some sort of medium. Then I started throwing up crickets and slugs and worms and rolly-pollies and dirt, and the father/husband appeared and started to tell the wife about money that he had hidden, and I just kept barfing up dirt and bugs. Finally MY husband came in and said, "You need to finish quickly, much more of this and she'll die." So the ghost of the guy fades away and my husband picks me up and carries me to the couch so I can rest and he goes to help the family clean up the mess. Then I woke up.

I fell back asleep and the dream continued. This time me and the family are in a boat, trying to follow the dead husband's directions to the hidden money.

I don't remember what happened after that.
