Question by PunkPrincess: “Symptoms” of being a psychic vampire????
I appreciate the websites that people have posted but could you please post the actual “symptoms” on here? I have read some of the ‘symptoms’ online but it is too confusing. I have however noticed that I have a lot of the same things. These are my symptons: I am moody, I get very anxious and jumpy with a feeling of needing something I guess you could say but never finding something that makes me feel better, when I get into verbal fights I feel empowered a little more (that’s the best way I can describe this feeling) I get very tired for no aparent reason and dizzy at the same time, my eyes have gotten sensitive to the light, I’m psychic and very empathic, I have a a low immune system and I constantly get sick and I can see auras. I know that there are real vampires other wise I wouldn’t be asking this question and I have done research and my friend is a sang vampire. He has left on a trip for a while so I can’t ask him. I have been to a doctor and they have told me that nothing is wrong and they don’t know why this happens. I really want help on this and if you could email me please about it that would be cool but you don’t have to. Oh and would the changes I be experiencing such as the fact that I’m tired more and my appetite has changed be part of the awakening if I am one? I do not want anyone telling me there is no such thing I won’t pay attention to it anyways. I also put it under this category because I know its where more people will find it.
After the fight they do seem a little out of it, they just give up and say they don’t want to deal with it but I can tell they seem different.
This has nothing to do with Twilight either, honestly who can “sparkle in the sun”?
Just to mention, when I get in the verbal fights, the other person gives up because they seem to be getting tired and look and act tired. I on the other hand feel more empowered (best way to say it again).    Read more...

If you go to the library, I’m quite sure you will find all you need. If not try a bookstore. If you are willing to go to an AA meeting, you could buy some books there at cost and sometimes others will help you if you are a little short. I have been sober for almost 5 years now. I spent 2 years in the program and for 3 years I have been doing this on my own. I got my basics and know where they are, should I need to go back to a meeting. I don’t want to dissuade you from going by any means, this is your choice. I had to go and knew I could not get or stay sober without the foundation that AA and my sponsor had given to me. Hope this helps and I certainly wish you well.    Read more...

Question by jpc8015: Seceding from the States?
Did anybody hear about the Lakota Indian Tribe wanting to disolve their treaties with the federal government and set up their own country? Is this a good idea for them? How would they manage without federal aid for everything from “cultural centers” to drug and alcohol rehabilitation? At some point would we need to go and forcibly take their land back from them in order to save them from themselves? What would the consequences be, could we then take away their status as a soveirgn nation and not give them treaties?

Well, considering the living conditions on reservations, I don’t see how they were be losing much if they declared their own country.
