I know that snake dreams can symbolize both negative and positive characteristics but this particular dream I do not feel threatened by. Let me explain the dream; I dreamt that I walked to an area behind a rental car building that was surrounded with trees, as I walked further into the tree line I noticed that the ground was covered in leaves and I stepped over a piece of land that was not sturdy. Immediately two snakes with rattles at the end of their tails came out of nowhere I began to feel fear and as I turned to run I was met by a Black snake with a rattle on the end of its tail. All three of the snakes were regular size snakes but long. As the black snake began to slide closer to me I reached for the end of the tails of the two snakes behind me and threw them to the Black snake. The Black snake attacked and at the first snake that had black and yellow designs on it and then the black snake and turned and ate the second snake which was a light tan color. The black snake was stiffly stretched out in a straight line and could not move because it was too full from eating the other two snakes. I briskly ran and kept a safe distant from the Black snake. It did not try to attack me or bite me it just laid there. Keep in mind that I am going through a transformation in both my personal and professional life that has been triggered from both negative and positive circumstances that has occurred in my life from the past two years.

Please give me an honest interpretation of my dream and not what you got off of any dream websites.

I am really trying to figure out what this dream symbolizes because I really know that God is giving me a sign about something positive and major is about to happen in my life.

Please no idiotic comments this is my life and I really want to know the meaning of my dream.

I work in a office with this NCO and a few other lower enlisted soldiers. I am senior to the other soldiers and I always do what I am supposed to and do not give my nco any problems. On the other hand the other lower enlisted soldiers get into trouble and they get to take leave and pretty much do whatever they like. The NCO is a dirt bag himself I guess that's why he takes so well to the other soldiers than me. There is one enlisted soldier that is lower ranking than me and she and the NCO flirt and stand real close to one another in the office. The female is always telling the NCO that she wants to have his baby and asking him when can she go over to his house. I think this type of behavior is unprofessional between a soldier and an NCO in the work environment. These two carrying on like this at work is giving me the notion that these two are sleeping together. Untop of it he is showing favortism towards her by having her complete less taskings than me throughout the day. I don't want to see my senior NCO and talk to him about the situation because I don't like starting trouble but my NCO is being a total dirt bag towards me and I'm tired of all the other soldiers or the NCO pulling their weight and shamming. I am furious does anyone have any advice? Should I tell on the NCO and soldier fraternizing?

Recieved a summons from out of state from state of california for copyright infringement in which I did not commit. I have recieved legal counseling that it would be in my best interest to settle instead of fighting this thing out in court. I agree. I am on a budget a single mother and raising two children. Just want to settle instead of going to court. Don't want this to affect my record or my job because the job I have requires a clearance and if I get civil actions against me there is my career and everything that I have worked for down the drain. Any great references for affordable lawyers that could get me an reasonable settlement?

I have been in the Army for seven years. I am currently working directly under a Staff Sergeant who is my supervisor. Lately, he has been really, snobby and negative towards me because I am currently on profile, I will not reenlist because I desire to have a different career outside the Army, I will not let him in on the details of my personal life when he asks and I refuse to attend social functions with him and two other NCO's that I work with. This NCO has sent other people to schools and training to advance in their careers when they have made it clear that they are getting out to and will not send me when I have volunteered to go. He makes me clean up a large area in the building by myself everyday, while the other soldiers sit in the office with him, joke around and play. He even refuses to acknowledge me when I am asking him a question pertaining to a tasking that he gives me. I have tried to diffuse the situation by not reacting to him emotional, I have remained calm, tactful and motivated. Keep in mind that I am a good soldier, I stay out of trouble and do what I am suppose to do and be where I am supposed to be in the right uniform and I am always tactful and respectful to others no matter the rank.

In a counseling session we had he claimed that I was not being a team player because I don't attend social functions he invites me to and I am distant. The reason being because of the way he is treating me and knowing no personal boundaries between us as his subordinate and him has my supervisor. Don't get me wrong I am not a very social being and I don't feel like I have to always be apart of a group to feel validated. That is not me and never will be. I see that my supervisor is contradictory with what he says and does. How can I diffuse this situation? I have to work with him in the same office environment and see him everyday and he is going to continue to treat me this way what can I do? Someone help any advice on how to deal with someone like this?

I understand that it is an NCO's job to take care of soldiers but this NCO is taking his position and authority a little to far. He

I have known my fiancee for seven years and we have been exclusive for a year. We both have one child from previous relationships and is expecting a child together in a couple of months. My fiancee' is beginning to have problems with the mother of his child again. She is sending him nude photos of herself and threatening to put him on child support and denying him the right to see is child because he will not leave me to sleep around with her and she calls harassing him on his personal cell whenever my fiancee' and I spend quality time together. He says that he has everything under control and I have told him that he needs to put his foot down and establish some strict boundaries between them and should not talk to her unless it is pertaining to their child. This drama is beginning to put an emotional strain on our relationship. I don't know what else to do. I can't fight this battle for him he has to deal with her himself. Also what can my fiancee do to get the courts to grant him visitation rights to see his child once a child support order has been established?

Me and my significant other live four hours away from each other because of our jobs. I have known and been with my significant other for a few years. We became exclusive last year and have been together ever since. We are going to conceive a child together in a few months and he has revealed to me that he has cheated on me with another woman. Right know I feel angry, confused, betrayed and hurt. I did not fly off the handle because I figure it would not help the situation it would make things worse. He is a good man and we have a promising future together. I still love him and I want things to work between us but I am hesitant of how to approach his infidelity. We are eventually going to sit down and talk about things face to face but I don't want to look at him or even have him touch me because all I can think about is him being with another woman. I am pregnant and dealing with the changes of my body and now infidelity does not make me feel so good at this present moment in my life. Can someone give me some advice on how to deal with this situation? (Feeling Sad)

I am an E-4(P) active duty in the military and at this time I am 3 months pregnant going on 4 months. Before I was pregnant I would always have to clean up my common areas by myself and buff, wax, strip, and mop a very long hallway designated to my section everyday. I would ask my NCO if I could get some help with doing the floor and my common areas with other soldiers from my section but he would always say do as much as I can by myself and I would end up doing it on my own without any help anyway. I am a soldier that works in communications and I am already stretched out thin with a lot to do in my office. know that I am pregnant I am not physically cable of conducting those cleaning duties on my own or able to withstand the toxic fumes that I used to clean with when I was not pregnant. I have made my NCO aware of that issue and he still ignores what is in my pregnancy profile. I told him that I can not be assigned duties that would cause me to become lightheaded, naseous and fatigue. I also can't be exposed to hazardous chemicals that are harmful to inhale such as cleaning agents. He said he read my profile but I do not think that he is trying to abide by it. I feel like I am being punished for being pregnant. I have to protect my unborn child and I am not going to break my profile all because my NCO feels that me being pregnant should not affect my abilities to clean or do other duties. Isn't that why upon diagnosis of pregnancy females get a profile listing their limitations to what they can and can't do? I don't want to cause any turmoil but this is becoming more of a problem? What can I do? Is there a female in the Army just like me who has had experience in this area? Please share some knowledge with me on how to handle this situation.

I lost touch with my mother when I was seven years old. Her and my father divorced it is a long story? However, I want to contact my mother to let her know that she has a granddaughter and ask her who my real father is. I heard a conversation that she had with my youngest brother when he was about eight saying that the current man that was raising us might not be our father. As a child, even into adulthood I have always tried to connect with him as my father and he always denied me and would keep his self distant even throughout periods of my life my half brothers and sister would treat myself and my younger brother very different growing up and would tell us that there father was not our father a lot and I do not feel that they were just doing this out of hate. I always felt different growing up and I always felt like apart of me was missing that I needed to find.

I am in the Army. I have a situation in which a member of my team has gotten an article 15 and is the same rank as myself. Which is a Specialist. I am promotable and the specialist with the article 15 is not. The team member has a summarized article 15 and extra duty. My supervisor who is an NCO he is directing myself and another specialist from our team to supervise this team member from 1800 to 2100 on select days until her extra duty is over. Can he do this it states in AR 27-10 that an NCO E-5 and above may be the supervisory authority for soldiers on extra duty. I need advice please help.

I started dating a young man that I met at work in July 08, he was just coming out of a bad relationship and I was new in town. I knew his situation so we agreed to be friends but we became more than friends. We had a rocky argument before Christmas in Dec 08. I wanted a commitment and he was not willing to give me one and he was still seeing his ex-girl-friend. We got back together in the middle of Jan 09

and we were doing okay until the end of May and the beginning of Jun 09. I called him today about the way he has been treating me for the past 10 months we had been together and that I wanted to be in a relationship or nothing at all. I just don't want to be a fling, I am a woman with confidence, self love, self-worth, and moral values why can't he see that? I'm just fed up with men in general and I just want to be by myself for a long time because I am tired of getting dealt the wrong cards when it comes to love. Am I doing the right thing by staying by myself completely. Sure relationships are a learning experience but how much does a woman have to give of herself before she completely shuts down?

I had become involved with this guy in late August 08. He had a girlfriend and they were on the verge of breaking up. We became intimate and I had did favors for him financially and he did favors for me financially. We spent lots of time together and things were okay for a awhile until he started holding over my ahead how much financially and material wise I was better off than he was. He would even criticize my parenting skills, and the way I spent my finances. We had a heated discussion about his criticism, not appreciating me, and not wanting to have a relationship with me. After the discussion in Nov 08 we split up for two weeks. Things feelt very awkard for me because we both work in the same building and we would have to see each other everyday. A friend of mind talked to me that knew myself and the guy mutually. My friend told me that the guy had talked to her and that she explained to him where I was coming from he was deeply sorry and he did not know that I feelt that way. We beganned speaking again the second week in Dec 08 things were good until this past Wednesday we had another discussion and a told him how I really feelt because he had started criticizing me again and I told him that I needed a friend and not a parent trying to boss me around all the time. I think I hurt his feelings but he hurted mine when he criticized my parenting skills again. After, that he does not want to be around me anymore and he did not get a job assignment across seas that he wanted. He has completely with drawn from it hurts a little because I have gotten use to him and being around him and he has done what the rest of my friends female and male do neglect me and leave me alone eventually. I don't want to go through life without friends. I went through a pregnancy alone I went through it on my own, no friends, or family made any effort to be around me not even after my baby was born. I feel that he will do what they have all done leave me very soon. I don't want a relationship with him because he had not to long left a relationship and told me up front that he did not want to deal with the pressures of a relationship. In the future, I would love to make a connection with someone but how much do I have to be neglected and broken to get to this point? I know that many people come into your life for a reason but shouldn't their be someone to stay for the good times and bad? Don't get me wrong I'm a very strong woman with all I've endured and accomplished but it would be nice to find someone with my own interest best and heart and will not judge me by how much material possessions I have or how I live my lifestyle. Why if this man is my friend, why would he judge me? I have not done anything wrong I've just tried to help him.

Myself and this ex of mine had been separated for three years but I had never stopped loving him and I don't think he ever stopped loving me either. We started seeing each other in April of this year. I asked him how he felt about me and he told me he liked me but he doesn't want a long distance relationship. Should I give him a chance? Or end it because he doesn't want to commit to me. We have become intimate with one another once again, and I believe I have opened myself up completely up. Is there anyone who can give me words of wisdom.

I was involved in an accident driving someone else's car. I was making a left turn into a store parking lot and as doing so was I was struck by a truck while making a turn. It was dark, rainy, and a little foggy outside. The truck struck me from the right side of the vehicle to the left. I was the only party injured from the accident. The car had to be totaled and I went away in the ambulance. The police gave me a citation for failure to yield left . I already making the turn long before the vehicle approached their were pedestrians walking in front of my car so by the time the vehicle saw me it was too late for it to see me. What can I do to protect myself against a lawsuit the other

party can come back and sue for pain and suffering and the vehicle wasn't damaged from the other party. I really don't have anything to pay if they decide to sue me please I need legal advice or experience quick?

I am a new resident at a apartment complex that I just moved into. I live on the top floor above a resident that harasses me constantly about me being loud in my resident whenever I play music or have friends over which I don't do to often out of respect for other residents who live in the same building. The resident below me knocks on my door every day for more than 15 minutes aggressively and rudely. Even has approached me directly. I am always polite and understanding with the resident but they are finding any kind of noise like me walking through the house to complain about and I am sick of them approaching because they throw parties everynight with loud music, have three cats that roam outside, makes bowel movements on the porch in front of my door, and has put scratches on my brand new car. How do I deal with these people with out getting into conflict with them because they are really making me uncomfortable in my new apartment. I do

not want to deal with them directly either.

I met my ex when I was 19 and he stop talking to me for a year.

He did alot of hurtful things to show that he did not want a

relationship with me before the break up occurred for a year. I

am 22 now and we just begin talking this month in August. He

has emailed me on numerous occasions telling me he was

sorry. I want to believe it but he is starting to show some of his same patterns like, withdrawing from me when I ask him questions about why he stop talking to me for a year and what makes him want to be with me now, and not being open and honest with me about wanting a relationship. He mentions to me that I am too far away in distance. Does this man care about me or is it me wanting him too care when I know that he never will. I try to see the good in every person regardless of the things they may have done wrong to me. Should I leave this man alone? I mean isn't any man supposed to be down for the woman he claims he wants to be with no matter what? What should I do?

I met this wonderful man two months ago. He had all the qualities that I was looking for in a man. He was thirty and I am twenty-two. I did not think anything of our ages until he said over the phone that he preferred older women over younger women. He told me his reason was older women were more experienced at alot of things than younger women but with me he would make an exception to his rule because he liked me alot? I also told him in our conversation that I was not going to have sex with anyone else until I got married, after our conversation I tried calling him and I did not get an awnser? He has not returned my calls. Was this man really intrested in me or did he want sex because is that all he thought I was good for as a younger woman?

My daughter is 2 months old. I want to get her ears pierced but I do not no where to go. Is there any one out there who have small children that ears have been recently pierced? Help me where should I go?

I am currently breastfeeding my 2 month old daughter. I introduced her to a soy-based formula with iron in it about three weeks ago. I added a little of rice cereal to the formula for each bottle feeding. I prepared her formula as a substitute for my breastmilk for whenever I took her out to run my erens because on my erens I don't have time to breastfeed her at all. She took well to the soy-based formula with cereal added but now she will not eat it anymore she spits the formula out. She is not allergic to milk she takes to it very well. I just put her on a soy-based formula because I was told it would not give her colic and it was closer to a mother's natural breastmilk I don't know if that's true. Someone please give me some advice. I am going back to work in three weeks and I won't have time to pump milk for her because I work full time. What type of formula would you recommend that's closest to a mother's breastmilk?

Men are always talking about what kind of woman they don't want or don't date so I was just wondering... what kind of woman do men want and what kind of qualities are they looking for in a woman besides looks and brains?
