  • I think something is wrong with my little brother?

    Alright, so I just met my little brother for the first time a few months ago since I have never met my mom other than a few times when I was a kid and I just got back in contact with her.

    My little brother, who is 9 years old, acts like a four year old at most. He is also a total wimp. He doesn't play outside and the few times I have seen him go outside and try and play with some kids, he has done a few things like this.

    1. was going around hitting people's cars with wires thinking it was funny

    2. The kids he was with wanted to play basketball and he started hitting the ground crying because he wanted to play xbox

    3. He went and kicked a cat because he thought it was funny

    He also has one of the worst lisps and speech problems i have ever heard. He says "tomorrow" like "tomowwow" and pretty much any other word with an "r" in the middle. He goes around and will yell at the top of his lungs with weird noises and also finds it funny when people die on the news and there are car wrecks.

    He basically has no friends to speak of because of how he acts and my mom says that he acts like a normal kid. When I was his age, I did not know a single kid who acted the way he did or was as much of a pansy as him. He is actually one of the biggest whiners and criers I have ever heard and he is supposed to be a boy. I have tried toughening him up but it doesn't work no matter what I do.

    I am starting to think he has some mental problem that my mom just doesn't want to admit.

  • so now im a miracle person?

    earlier today, i got into a head on collision with an 18 wheeler and i have a 2010 cobalt.

    I remember nothing about getting in the car and going anywhere and the first thing i can remember is getting out of the car after the wreck.

    i have no scratches or bumps on me and i have no concussion but for some reason, i have memory loss and my entire car is completely totaled. the paramedics and the police told me that i have something watching over me for that to happen.

    i have been getting attention here at the hospital ever since from nurses and a few doctors who have run tests and checked me over like 10 times now just to be sure i have no physical damage and everything comes back that i am alright.

    is this really so odd that i didnt get hurt?

  • Next step for Astral Projection?

    I can get to the point where my body is asleep but I am completely conscious with no problem every time I actively try it. I can also see the astral world from my astral body but I cannot separate for some reason. I have tried the rope technique and the rollout technique but I always snap back into my physical body before I am able to get out completely.

    Any advice?

  • question about a background check?

    my room mate was contacted by an ex friend of his about 3 weeks ago saying that he was pressing charges against my room mate for theft.

    He is saying that he sold his video games to a pawn shop and found the video games there and were listed under my room mates name as sold by him. My room mate, however, had those games as well and they played online together frequently from seperate rooms when he was staying with him for a little while.

    My room mate has yet to receive a call or be visited at work or home about the charges and he doesnt keep receipts of the games he buys and neither does his ex friend so there is no proof that the games were his ex friends in the first place. His ex friend has pulled scams on people before but now he is trying to get someone charged with theft when he never did it. He also has a background check coming up for a job soon and is wondering if that will show up on a background report.

    Basically, with no evidence proving that the games were his, is there enough ground to even have a case and also if charges were pressed but no arrest has been made, will it show up on the background check my room mate is about to have for a job?

    I have known him since we were freshman in high school and he has never been known to steal anything and he has no criminal record.

  • parents get too offended over everything nowadays. why?

    Parents get offended for everything these days.

    They were playing Major Pain in the bank and there was a crowd of parents complaining saying they shouldnt be showing a movie that is so offensive.

    Spank your kid and oh lord it is child abuse. No it isnt. it is discipline not abuse.

    Basically parents have gotten so ridiculous about crap and babying their kids that the kids are growing up being idiots who have no common sense and think the world revolves around them.

    so once again

    spanking is not abuse and I will spank my kid if he/she acts up and I dont care if people see. I will beat the crap out of anyone who tries to take my kid from me.

    Stop spoiling and babying your kids. Let them get beat up a few times in school. They will learn to fend for themselves. Stop going to their rescue every time someone calls them a name.

    Parents are horrible these days and the kids reflect it.

    Damn I miss the 90's where parents had some damn common sense. It seems every kid born after 95 or 96 are idiots.

    just a piece of advice from a 22 year old who is tired of seeing spoiled kids everywhere he goes.

    if a kid is acting up in a store stop trying to reason with them. pop them in the mouth or on the *** that will shut them up quick and they will learn. Grounding and time out dont work kids will always find ways around that even if you dont think they will.

    Another good one is to go have them pick the switch that they will be spanked with or build your own custom paddle for it. It will work much better because kids are more afraid of pain then being grounded for a few days since once again, they will find ways around that.

  • Zelda Fans, have you tried this?

    This is for any version of Ocarina of Time except for Master Quest and Ocarina of Time 3D

    So far, I have the kokiri's emerald and Zora's Sapphire and I am now in the spirit temple as a kid. I have yet to meet zelda or learn any songs on my fairy ocarina and the only items i have are deku sticks, deku nuts, the boomerang, bombchu's, a bottle, the fairy ocarina, and the golden scale. I am about halfway to completing the child part of the spirit temple so far and this is awesome.

    I have also yet to step foot into hyrule castle town or kakariko village or meet the goronsand go to death mountain.

    The guidlines to the uber challenge are as follows

    -3 hearts, no Heart Pieces whatsoever

    -Buy Giant's Knife and break it ASAP, and use that at all times (except in the

    Graveyard and while fighting Ganon)

    -All Medallions

    -1 Bottle

    -No deaths (death counter at file select must say 000)

    -No Iron Boots

    -No capacity upgrades

    -No Great Fairy gifts except Magic Meter and Din's Fire

    -No Gold Skulltula family gifts from 20 or more Gold Skulltulas

    -No Goron Bracelet

    -No Fire Arrows

    -No Lens of Truth

    -No Longshot

    -No Silver Scale

    -No Zora Tunic

    -No Gerudo's Card

    -No Maps or Compasses

    -No Biggoron's Sword

    -Cannot use Action Replay, Gameshark, etc.

    -Cannot use Crooked Cartridge (touching your game cartridge while playing)

    -Cannot use Din's Fire outside the central room of the Water Temple

    -Cannot use Megaton Hammer to attack enemies (exception of stunning Volvagia)

    -Cannot use Megaton Hammer outside the Fire Temple

    -Cannot use Deku Sticks to attack enemies

    -Cannot use power crouch stab

    -Cannot learn any songs except Song of Time, Zelda's Lullaby, and Minuet of

    Forest

    -Must have Shadow Medallion before entering Forest Temple

    -Must fight Dark Link

    If you are a zelda fan, you should try it, it is very fun and a great challenge so far. especially getting into gerudo valley as a kid.

    No gameshark is allowed either so no cheating.

    Has anyone else started, or has completed it?

  • just saying that this is not racist?

    walked to the CVS near my apartment to get a soda and as I was leaving, a black guy came up and asked if he could borrow 5 dollars.

    I told him I only have a card and he called me a stupid little cracker white boy so I called him a ****** black guy. He then gets pissed and starts calling me a racist.

    Just saying that is not racist since it is only fair. He called me a racial slur, so I called him one back. That is how things work. Everyone is the damn same so if you call someone something derogatory, expect to be called something back. I am not gonna be careful what I say around you because you are black or whatever other color you are.

    Just a lesson from a 22 year old who is tired of all the stupid people in this world already.

    People need to learn to grow the hell up.

    and i just saw in the preview that ****** is starred out. Yahoo people, if that is going to be censored then it is only fair to censor out any other racial slur directed at any other race. This is just damn ridiculous

  • haunted apartment...help?

    ok so there are obviously ghosts in my apartment and I am trying to get in contact with them.

    there is an old lady ghost who seems to have some kind of infatuation with me and likes to invade my dreams,

    there are two children ghosts who like to try and kill me and my loved ones in my dreams as well, but it seems that the old lady is protecting me in there.

    there is a shadow man that i always see sneaking around and he is always peeking at me around corners

    and there is a grey mist that likes to hover around me as i sleep and when it comes near me, i cannot breathe correctly.

    I have told my room mates about this since i moved in recently and they told me that they had seen them before as well, but not to the extent that i have and they seem to be attracted to me for some reason.

    I wish to get in contact with them, but i do not have a ouija board or anything of the like so what can i do to get them to tell me what they want without some kind of ouija board or anything.

    I also know that i am going to get a ton of people saying crap like "dont do it blah blah blah"

    I do not care i just want to find out why they are targeting me for some reason and i dont care what happens to me.

    please help

  • recurring nightmare ever since I moved into new place. help?

    Ok so ever since I have moved in with my current room mate, I have been having a recurring nightmare.

    It starts out that I am not even me.In reality, I am a 22 year old guy but in the dream, I am a young woman inside my dads current house, but my family is not there. It is just me and my son (I dont have a son in reality) and I am just walking through the house while my son is asleep.

    I then notice what looks like a little girl when seen from a distance, looks like she has the unmoving face of a doll and she is slowly gliding in my direction. As she gets closer, Her face becomes twisted with malice and an evil smile and her eyes begin to go into deep sockets until they are just empty black holes.

    She is obviously some sort of ghostly being and she then pulls out what looks like a sharpened piano wire and she shows me that whatever it touches cuts like a hot knife through butter. I am now scared for my life as I am trying to get away from her and get me and my son out of there.

    I am running through the house trying to get what I need and I grab my son and all the while I can hear her horrible giggling. She never utters a word though.

    She just keeps chasing me without being completely grounded with that damn piano wire. I finally get my son and we get into a truck (I have a car not a truck) and we start driving down a road with a field on the left of the truck as we drive.

    I look into my rear view mirror and she is still chasing me but her face is back to the emotionless doll face again. Next thing I know, me and my son are in what looks like an exact copy of the room I stayed in when I lived with my great grandparents when I was little.

    My son is sleeping in the bed while I am just laying there watching TV when the doorbell rings. I get up to answer it and I am pulled through the door by a small boy with a torn football jersey and the same souless empty eyes and my legs are gone. He had a piano wire as well and had tied it against the doorframe. I am now laying there while I bleed to death and hear the sound of a girl's giggling and my son screaming while everything goes dark. I am now my son and I look over and see my mom laying in the doorway and the little boy float into the room and next to me, the girl that had been chasing us before is beside me snapping the piano wire between her hands like a belt. I have nowhere to run as they both are giggling at me and close in on me with those dreadful, sharp wires as I feel them tear through my flesh and end my life again as everything goes dark once more.

    Now, I am back at my parents house but I am my actual self this time and I am standing in front of the house in the driveway with my sister.

    My sister is acting cold and distant and is looking off into the distance where there is the faint outline of two small children with emotionless faces. My sister begins to walk in that direction and I call out to her to stop her but she does not listen and keeps walking and I cannot move closer to her no matter how much I run.

    I am then woken up by my room mate telling me it is time for me to get up and this same dream has happened every night since I moved here about two weeks ago.

    Does anybody have any idea what this could mean? I am starting to fear going to sleep

  • I am always hungry and eat a lot but I never gain weight?

    Ever since I was little I have never gained weight unless I put on muscle mass. I am six foot two and 150 lbs and I am basically stuck at this weight. I eat between 5000 and 6000 calories per day and I work at a sit down job so I am not moving around all day. I am 22 years old now and most of the food I eat is meat, sugars and starches yet no matter what I do, I am always hungry again within 20 minutes of me eating a meal. I am beginning to think there may be something wrong with me. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I also get sudden bursts of energy about once an hour where I feel like I can run a marathon and I actually move faster and talk faster than I normally do.

    any advice?

  • Why are less and less people spanking their kids?

    Seriously, I get really tired of everytime I go into a store or something, I always see little screaming sally and little whining wayne mad because they dont get what they want and the parents always sit there and try and be their friend and not their parent.

    The proper response in that situation should be a swat to the butt and they will learn what is wrong and what is right. Hell, carry around a loose belt or something so they know that it will be used if they are bad. This is how I was raised and so were many of my friends back in the 90's. We were all spanked and we learned respect really quick and knew what was right and wrong.

    It seems that anyone born in the mid to late 90's and after don't get spanked and they seem to think they are entitled to everything that they want to have at a young age. It is ridiculous.

    Parents, spank your kids before they end up controlling you.
