i've been vegan for a few years now and i feel like just being vegan isn't enough but i don't know what more i can do. i am not capable of organizing a protest, i don't even know how to find out about protests that other people have organized. is there anything someone like me can do to help animals?

I want to put my photos on a website just in case I ever lose them but some of them are... "private" if you get me and not something I want anyone else seeing. Is there a website where I can save them for my eyes only? No maximum resolution is preferable.

Somehow I managed to rip off the side and now it's bleeding. Should I be worried? How long will it take to heel?

i want really big muscles but i hate to exercise because its booooooring

I have phone, camera, wallet, chapstick, sunglasses, book, watter bottle, keys, and a few other things. I can't fit all of this stuff in my pockets or a fanny pack, and I hate backpacks. Any advice?

It's like, how am I supposed to react to that? That actually happened to me today... I considered being sympathetic but I didn't want him to think I was trying to act superior. How should I have responded? I just sort of looked away in embarrassment and he left...

I really want a job that pays at least $14 per hour. But, I also want to be able to complete training for that job in a short period of time (preferably less than a year)... if there's a self paced training course I can do to learn what I need to faster that's even better. Are there any jobs like this?

Basically, I want a job that:

- pays at least $14/hour

- doesn't require more than 1 year of training

My Samsung cell phone has a music feature but I'm not sure how to get my songs from iTunes (or anywhere) onto the cell phone. The instruction manual says how to play a song once it's on there but doesn't say how to get the song on there in the first place! Erg. I'm very frustrated. Please help me.

I wake up at 8 AM every single morning. And yet I can never get to sleep until late at night. As a result I am ALWAYS miserably sleep deprived day after day after day! I can't even function right. I have trouble keeping my eyes open. I am so tired of this. Why can't I sleep?

I don't understand why I don't have one... I exercise my abs every day. I have less than 0.5 inches of pinchable fat on my stomach standing up, which turns to about 1-2 inches when I sit down. For some reason it still *looks* flabby though, rather than solid. Is it just my genetics? Why don't I have one? The only time I can see anything resembling a six pack is when I stand under a really bright light and lean back, then you can kind of see the outline of one, but under normal lighting I just look flabby.

Am I right in thinking that all of these things are vegan? They all seem to be vegan but the product says "vegetarian" on it, not vegan...

The thing is, I have a very slow metabolism, so I don't get hungry very often... should I eat more and risk gaining weight or continue eating only when I'm hungry?

Today I had this:

Breakfast: Two glasses of green smoothie

Lunch: Half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Dinner: Mixed cooked vegetables; 1 carrot

And everyone said to eat more... I'm going to have a little something before bed but I don't know...

I want six pack abs, I only have like 2 more inches of fat I need to get rid of.

I hate this... I have very eradic sleep patterns and can't even follow them myself. Some nights I need 13 hours of sleep, other nights I only need about 7 to feel well rested. Often I'll go to sleep at 7 or 8 PM one night then be up till 5 or 6 AM the next. I can never force myself to go to sleep or to wake up. I take melatonin but try to limit my doses because I'm uncomfortable with the idea of medication, though this has stopped working and I need to take larger and larger amounts. It is so frustrating because I often miss things because I thought I would be awake but instead am sleeping. I'm so tired of spending my days exhausted because I only got 2 hours of sleep the night before unable to get to sleep any earlier. This is out of control and I want this to end. My dream would be to go to sleep at 10 or 11 PM every night and fall right asleep without hassle, then wake up at 7 or 8 the next morning feeling well rested. Could I have a sleep disorder? And if not what is causing this?

It frustrates me so much when people say, "Oh, just go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day and all your sleep problems will go away." I would if I could, but often I can't fall asleep! And then they say, "Oh, just wake up earlier," but then I just end up sleep deprived and miserable, until about 8 or 9 when suddenly the tiredness goes away and I finally feel awake, right when I want to be going to sleep.

If I fall asleep at work again, I might get fired.

What are those shirts called that look like a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve shirt but really it's all one shirt? I want to find some online and am not sure what to search.

that I have to spend more on food than I would otherwise because I can't buy in bulk because I'm poor and thus don't have enough room to store the food?

Of course, the government will provide me food stamps to save on food, right? Nope, apparently those only go to people who are unemployed, not who are busting their a** working 16 hours a day at 2 minimum wage jobs.

But that's okay, I can collect welfare because I have kids right? Nope, wrong again! I don't have kids because I was actually responsible enough not to get some girl pregnant while I'm dirt poor! The government just LOVES to reward irresponsibility and laziness, eh?

God, I'm pissed off.

I was in a blimp/space ship floating over the water right outside of New York City. The water was royal blue and so gorgeous out the window. There were (I think) 9 other passengers and we were all wearing gray t-shirts and gray pants. A phone rang and I answered it. It told me to call Emergency Services at 405. I said okay, and dialed the number. A woman's voice came on. I said, "Hi, I was told I was supposed to call you." She said, "Oh, yes." I was looking out the window and sighed to her, "It's a beautiful city, isn't it?" She responded, "Enjoy your last look." Suddenly the space shuttle blew up and I fell into the water along with the other passengers. Suddenly all of these jet propelled water jets appeared and started chasing us. I tried to avoid them but was having trouble swimming. I knew they were trying to kill us. I didn't know if they had cameras attached or just zoomed around at random. I escaped into a warehouse, where the woman who had had us killed (probably different from the woman who actually killed us on the phone) was the owner. I saw two of my shipmates huddled together in one of the cardboard boxes so I climbed in there and huddled down with them. Suddenly I felt the box moving. All of the other passengers (except for us 3) had been killed by the water rockets.

Later, I got out of the box and was approached by the woman. I was terrified, but it turned out she thought I worked there as her employee. She asked why I wasn't working, and I said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'll get right back to work." She looked at me and said, "Where's your badge?" With some quick thinking I answered that I'd left it at home by mistake. "I'm really sorry. Do you want me to go home and get it?" She said yes but told me she'd be docking my pay.

So off I was into New York City. But I wondered about my two surviving shipmates. There was a lot more after that but I don't remember it. Something about my sister keeping me safe at her apartment. Anyway, what does this dream mean?

I go up to a girl who looks familiar... I ask her if I know her from somewhere, because she looks so familiar. Then I notice she only has one eye. But then she turns her head at an angle and it turns out she has 3! 2 of them are close together and the other is separate. And I realize I saw her at a shopping center before, and tell her this. I then ask her if I she'd mind if I ask about her eyes... (I wasn't trying to be insulting but I was insanely curious.) She says "yeah" as in she would mind. I don't remember what I said next but it offended her and she went away. (It wasn't anything mean but it was a comment about her third eye - not a mean one but just a curious one.) I went up to her and noticed she was crying. I got upset and told her I was so sorry for what I had said. I hugged her and told her I thought she was pretty. She said I didn't and I said I did, and I said she had beautiful shiny, soft hair, and it later occurred to me that I should have commented on her porcelain skin and perfectly proportioned facial features... she really was very pretty but I didn't think of those specifics at the time.

Does this dream mean anything? What is her third eye symbolizing? I feel so confused... is this a call to Hinduism?

I don't normally remember any of my dreams but this one has stuck with me so much... I've been thinking about it all day.
