I’m getting ready to read Pride and Prejudice myself (it’s in my stocking and I’m patiently waiting!). I really enjoyed Jane Eyre. It is about a young girl who is raised by an abusive aunt and then sent to a children’s home. When she gets older, she becomes a governess and begins a romance with the man that lives there. Then she moves away and works in a school, and eventually goes back.

Wuthering Heights and Oliver Twist are also on my list that I want to read.

How can I stop this dream from haunting me any more?
I’ll just say this up front..

I was a victim of rape, of an ex boyfriend we dated for three years, i broke up with him for the final last time &he obviously didnt like that, and three months later it resulted in abuse and well that other word i stated at first.
after the whole thing with cops, hospitals, detectives, counseling, everything..its been about seven months now.
last friday night my sister was being real mean and said the worst thing anyone could ever say to me. long story short she said "youve had people in here whhen no one was home! remember the last time you had *name* here? yeah, that wasnt rape, hun." i took out the door screaming and crying.
that night, the next, and last night, I have had dreams, or say nightmares, of him coming back and raping me.
I honestly dont want to fall asleep tonight, I cant take the feeling I get when I wake up every morning.

I dont need sympathy, thank you.
I just wonder if theres anything, anything i could do to stop this.

So anyway, your mind wants you to deal with this in some way. Remember, you are everyone you meet in your dreams. Your mind produces images of your ex boyfriend, but remember that is not really him. That is an image your mind produces. That is you. So in a way, you are wanting to deal with this. You are wanting the power to say no, and you do have this in your dreams. You do have to realize that you are dreaming and that can be hard.

Do some research on how to lucid dream and if this does happen to you again, and you are in the dream and know it is a dream, then you can say to yourself "This is me. This is not my boyfriend really. This is my own brain creating an image of him." Then if you can, you can talk to your own dream image. You will really be talking to yourself though. It is weird, but you will be asking "Why are you here in this dream. What do you represent?"

You’ll actually get an answer. It may not be what you want to hear, but I don’t think you can lie to yourself in a dream like that, because it will be your subconcious part talking back to you. So anyway, it might help you, or at least be less frightening to you if you can comfront it. I sometime still dream of monsters or things I used to be afraid of. Now I just have weird dreams of riding a tornado, instead of being blown away. And sometimes a monster who looks like swamp thing shows up and just stands there, because I am not afraid of him.
It is pretty weird, but at least I am not scared.
VeiledVisitor | Oct 26, 2009

Let me start of by saying, your sister is a b*tch for saying that. It is in no way shape or form your fault! And that is the first thing you need to understand. Also, I have to be honest and tell you, the dreams may get better and may begin to happen less often but more than likely will never go away. It has been 8 years since I was raped and I still have those terrible, screaming, kicking, crying, sweating nightmares. I really do not have advice to get rid of these nightmares, this is something you need to work through, it is over. If you need someone to talk to, it will be confidential and unjudged. melisheart3@yahoo.com

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

IMDB rating: 8.50

Plot: The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. They do not travel on horses, but pretend they do and have their servants bang coconuts to make the sound of horse’s hooves. Through satire of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search…

Can we increase lifespan and youth for your young generation, or will it stay same/decrease?
I’m 26, will my generation by the time we’re in our 60s be younger, stronger, and healthier than the previous generation before us, or will it stay the same relatively, or will it actually get worse and we’ll be getting older sooner and dying younger?

It’s a double edged dagger. On one side we have increasing technology, increasing medicine and knowledge, better supplements and nutrients than ever before, more awareness and understanding of illness, but on the other hand we have obesity, more food than ever, rising pollution, increasing population, new resistant and more powerful illnesses coming out, among other things.

Can we make 50 the new 30 eventually, or is that something that definitely won’t happen in our lifetime?
How long do you think the average person considering we don’t get murdered, commit suicide, die from a drug overdose, get cancer, live to nowadays? 70-80?

Also once we’re 60+ will we just expect to be sick cripples or what?

By that age, I guess it’s safe to say, that we cannot drive like maniacs or get into arguments and raise our blood pressure anymore can we?

I think before we begin to improve, people need to know how to take care of themselves better. Although one may think a ton of stress means their working hard and are a contributing member of society, too much stress actually begins to deteriorate the human body, especially with the heart. It can even permanently damage the mind. Sleep is also critical. In our society, almost everyone does not get enough sleep. This kills brain cells along with destroys the immune system and promotes eating problems.

Fifty can be the new thirty, but government, business, and the people need to promote a healtheir lifestyle than the high stress demanding life style of today.

I also beleive hydrogenated fats and artificial sweetener desparetley need to be outlawed. Food companies go out of their way to promote something as healthy when in fact it is not.

check my poem please?
is there 4 figures of speech in here…? and do you understand what it means?
its for a english assignment, so i need your opinion. (9th grade) thanks!
As the sun falls slowly behing the trees,
a dark blanket follows in equal speed.
like a spell has been cast to vanquish the light,
the morning now seeps into the night.

As if a law was set in stone,
the moon will rise to seize its throne,
trailed by his stars for knights and gaurds,
surrounded by royal black gardens and court yards.

Within that black shadows will rome,
seeking the darkness which is their home.
creatures and creeps will rustle and sigh,
some will take flight, some will run and hide.

But with every victory, there comes a loss,
and soon the light and dark will cross.
the sun will return in with its rays of fire,
forceing the moon to submit and retire.

And though no blood is really shead,
the sky fades from blue, to purple, then red.
an endless war as it may seem,
but night will return; prepare to dream
