| I'm quite a bit younger and I also feel similarly. Most of the people I hang with at college have their own places, live away from home, work, study, et all, yet I can barely juggle exercise, 12 credits, and a part time job. I wish I could get my stuff together like they do. Also, due to my inexper... |

| I took it for a brief time a few years ago. It nipped the anxiety nicely, but I had to take it at bedtime. Once I took it with breakfast and had to guzzle coffee to stay awake at work. Only happened once! |

| But it really isn't an issue. ...At this point, many would argue for reform, but I wish to hear something that is not labyrinthine in explanation, a simple yet profound argument. Ok. Are these simple enough? Being a bully is bad for your health: study Bullies, victims more likely to consider suicide |

Well, it worked for Connie Chung, not so much for Katie Couric.
I don't know if replacing the current robots with androids would be an improvement, but it shouldn't get any worse. |

| It depends on how it's presented. A logical explanation is easy to work with. A threat based on untrue assertions tees me off. I can handle a criticism between below that extreme, but for the threat I end up demanding an explanation. I never get one, just more threats. The best answer for those is t... |

They'll go on the job application. I keep my contact data on a separate sheet. I also listed the jobs fr... |

Wasn't this or something similar on an episode of Numb3rs? |

If you're not sleeping well, I've had good results with taking melatonin before bedtime. Don't worry about posting too many problems. That's what this site is all about. Besid... |

| Police have to ask about possible drug or alcohol use in any arrest for a disturbance. If you were stoned, you would need a few hours in lockup to recover. The way you sounded was a little rattled, which is expected in this case. You didn't smart off at anyone and you gave clear, intelligent answers... |
