  1. Oh my, there are several challenges that come to mine....the first is forcing myself to get out of bed each morning......You see, I recently purchased a new Sleep number mattress, by Sleep Comfort.........I've wanted one of these mattresses for years.......and finally broke down and bought one.............The problem now is that I sleep so comfortably and sound.......that I sometimes sleep right through my alarm. Or I cut the alarm off and don't even remember when I did. <_< .......But, beside this challenge..........as a psychologist my biggest challenge is dealing with some of the cruel realities of human nature..........the psychopathology that allows us to hurt each other, and rationalize that it's okay because........ :rolleyes:


  2. If I could change anything about myself.....I guess I'd clean up my "foul mouth.".............When I get angry...or shall we say "pissed off"..............if a word hasn't been invented for....it will be by the time I have had my say.......I am a very nice, compassionate person.......until someone "rubs me the wrong way".........and then... :rolleyes: :devil2: :devil2: :devil2:


  3. I liked that TV show a lot. I guess I could if I'd wanted to viewed Darren as a domineering, and controlling husband. But what I really thought was going on ,was his concern that something would happen to her......in fact to both of them if everyone knew that she had these powers......Let's face it................you know how "so called normal people" treat those who they view as different or "abnormal." She'd probably been taken away and "studied.".....maybe even truly been proclaimed a "witch," and burned at the stake.......who knows? :)


  4. When I was in elementary school, junior high and senior high school many years ago, I knew that I was in school to receive an education. And it was obvious that this was the primary focus. Yes, there were some disciplinary problems....but school personnel back then were allowed to handle these problems without what today I see as their hands being tied by a lot of interference....(which I am not going to get into at this point)......There are many kids today who bring to school inside of them so many issues that are not related to classroom learning. So, schools today are forced to try to deal with drug issues; very serious, emotional and behavioral disturbances; gang issues, abuse and neglect issues; immigration issues; etc.........just all kinds of issues that complicate their being able to do a really good job of what their primary purpose is supposed to be and used to be. :dude:


  5. Walmart provides not only jobs that others would other wise not have; but as you also said products, clothing, medicines, and at Super Walmarts......groceries and gasoline, at costs most other retailers just can't beat. I like the idea of competition with other stores.....But most retailers, including Mom and Pop stores simply can't compete.......So often this will put smaller retailers out of business. This I think is the real reason many object to Wal mart.....the fear factor that not only can I no longer charge higher prices..........I may not be around much longer...........Well unfortunately, it's all about survival today.....Consumer are going to always go for "the best for less." Small businesses are going to have to find creative ways to market/ hold on to their customers when Walmart enters their territory, or they just won't survive....... Why deprive consumers, who in today's economy need every financial break we can get...........Besides, I see people from the poorest, to the riches sides of town, shopping at

    Wal Mart.


  6. I agree with the points you made Klingonmike. I and I am also very concerned about our economy,environment and unemployment

    I voted abortions and same sex marrage, I want Kerry to win because he will leave the abortion issue alone and women will continue to have a choice. And I'm all for Same sex marrage, this is an issue the federal goverment has no right to interfere with. It should be a state or local goverment issue (of course I don't see why anyone should stand in the way of two people in love.)

    As long as Bush is president then people rights will continue to be in jeapordy.
