Hey all, Since I know I am not the only person here with the chronic pain condition called Fibromyalgia, I thought I'd share some of these new (and old) studies that have been done. It's not uncommon for people with this condition to be considered "faking it" since, previously, there was little...

More universal then that. The spider is a symbol of the Weaver, the mother goddess. She is known by many names of course :)

I have a small little tattoo of a spider on my left hip. I designed it when I was 12, and on my 13th birthday my mother got it for me. It's a symbol of the goddess :)

First beam in the LHC - accelerating science Geneva, 10 September 2008. The first beam in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN1 was successfully steered around the full 27 kilometres of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator at 10h28 this morning. This historic event marks a...

I wrote this essay for an english project. It focuses on one particular magazine, but the ideas apply to all types of media. I would have written more, put in more evidence, etc. had I been without limits. It is incomplete in many ways. There are still many spelling mistakes and such, which...

Hey all, I'm doing a rather irritating research project on body image and media. My focus is mainly on women, but any responses are good! Mostly, what I want to know is: Does the media (magazines, tv ads, etc.) have an effect on your body image? Have you ever felt pressure to look like...

I think it has more to do with our society than anything else. We feel so much pressure to eat and eat. With all of the food commercials you see and the food readily available everywhere it's no wonder we overeat. I often spend time at my mothers house, and she lives on a nice secluded little...

I'm thinking I've never heard of such a thing. But then, with all of the growth our population has been doing, it wouldn't come as a surprise that the nutrients we need are all in the people we talk to. I disagree with the statement that the earth doesn't have the ability to sustain us. We...

Don't be afraid of what life has to offer you. If you believe that life is worth living, your belief will help create the fact. The barrier between you and success is not something that exists in the real world. It's simply composed of doubts about your ability. Your only limits to your...

Your post confuses me. Do you mean to say that the nutrients in the earth have been depleted? Matter cannot be created nor destroyed. The nutrients that we use every day do not get broken down so easily, they are used and reused. When we die our bodies return to the earth and all the...

As any good gardener will know, a plant simply will not grow unless there is sufficient vitamins and minerals in the soil. That's why we use fertilizer, to add those missing nutrients so that the plant will grow strong and healthy. To say that the food today is devoid of nutrients is laughable.

My Mid-Morning Meditation Friday, March 16, 2007 As I sit here, drinking my hot Chai tea and eating my garden salad, I contemplate my walk this morning. It started off as the usual stroll through the woods – to release a bit of school stress and to enjoy the sounds and smells of early...

This is a bit of random, pick-me-up kinda thread. Post stupid/funny things you thought/did/said as a child. When I was really little, I used to feed my sister poo. (It's disgusting I know). When I was little I used to walk around in my dad's huge shoes with no clothes on except giant socks...
