    I have exams coming up, I'm exhausted from a 3 mile run yesterday, and, and, and...

    I crunched a bit of my car last night (begins to whimper).

    Stupid tow truck towing a stupid SUV and forcing me into a stupid cinderblock UGH! My poor car! (runs away and cries)

    I like this thread!

    You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.

    why do you intend not to study for it? is there anything serious that keeps you from studying?

    Two hours ago my neighbour came crying, feverish and shaking by fear, because her husband had been torturing her and she was trying desperately to escape from his sadism...and barbarism/ I do not want to mention what he usually does to her/

    I think I may now allow myself to question how strong is my desire to be understanding and humanistic, to support the innate benevolence of man...But this was called an "affect" right, temporal insecurity in our noble fellow...that is not to last long
    I guess this is the advantage of "affects"...- they remain harmless to the beliefs...

    he he he.....the thing is I have been out of studies for a looong time, its different when you are in college, the environment is different, but when you start working it becomes difficult to gather all the focus and concentrate.

    And now when I think of studies, I always remember how I used to slog studying 14-15 hrs and then thinking if I will still pass the exam, all the thoughts bring a lot of stress. I wish I just pass this exam, somehow....I dont want to take a re-test...

    You know a well administred smack in the back of the guy's head would be perfectly acceptable in the circumstances.
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    Smack? Ha! Maybe a deadly hard whack! Those people don't deserve to live.

    As you say......

    Its good to have teachers and aspiring teachers around, I will always be on track.

    You can exercise all that on me... I happen to do things only when scolded....

    Eagle -- I think that husband should be taught some lesson. Abuse should not be acceptable....

    "I happen to do things only when scolded."

    A trait I used to have. My mom hammered me on before I do house chores (not the same with studies! I have always been diligent. ). And now my younger sis (not Toni) is taking over. I can't say the buck stops with me!

    I try to see the good in people, and yet I still realize that although it is human nature to have a mixture of good and bad qualities, and some folks are just worse than others. Any type of abuse is not acceptable and the police are usually only a phone call away. Can you or your neighbor call them? I would not advise you to directly confront the husband yourself. I think a humane thing to do would be to be a friend to the injured woman, maybe assist her in finding some resources so she can get help, and really, really encourage her to take legal action against her husband. The longer that type a person thinks they can get away with hurting someone else, the worse the situation grows.

    Unhappy

    Complaints, I have a few,
    So just hang around and I will mention them.
    My health is not so good,
    May have to rush me to the ER anytime.
    I lost my buddy and my friend,
    My old cat, God, how I miss him!
    Every time I pass the door
    I look out and still expect to see him.
    I worry too, about Lady Liz,
    I pray that everything will be OK
    I had to get that all off my chest—
    But you know me—I did it my way!

    Pen
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    I never bothered to look at this thread before. I am wondering if I should keep up my optimistic profile and not share complaints.

    Getting seriously annoyed with rude people. No, Mr. neighbor, I don't want to listen to your absurdly loud music replete with loud thumping bass. When I am in my house I really don't care to listen to what other people do in their house.
