Question:

Do you have personal experience caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease?

If you would, could you relate at what stage in the illness anger, hostility and rage become almost constant? Did it alternate with fear and a kind of blankness?
As a caregiver were you ever hurt physically?
I know all of the sites about this issue but I really need info on a more personal level, not generalized symptoms.
Thank you for any help.

I had papers everywhere in there. They give us this planner wich is a bunch of peices of paper together in a “book” I got in a habit of stuffing all the papers in there after class ends. So i eventually kept droping it and losing papers everywhere, so I got my first F of my whole life…and told my mother so we both decided to get me a new binder a bigger one and one that isnt broken(My old one was) So i now have
1 New Nice Organized binder.
1:Old messy binder.
1:Planner with only like 7 papers in it now.
When i dont want to do homework i say to myself “well its just 1 time wont do much!” Well everytime i say that..So it turns out i have like ttoalt of 2 HW assignments actually finished in the past 9 weeks or somthing. I often check through my planner and stuff for just papers i used for working out problems and just throw them out…
Well. I have a tough math teacher who made 3 girls cry because hwe failed them today and 1 guy stormed out all mad. Everyone failed out test worth 45pts. So i dont do my homework basicly and in english that D is because of not doing homework…And not taking reading tests on books i read.

Now when i say i have an F its not like 61% Almost a D- Its like 48-54%
I understand what we are dooing anf i get the material…but see-Just a lack of participation in and out of class…I show no effort even though i can. I cant help it!!

Question:

I recently read this article and found it very disturbing how about you?

Please Note: For those of you who heard it, this is the article that was read on a radio station recently. For those of you who didn’t hear it, this is very deep. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote it.

“THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES …”
We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.” Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, “The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book.” We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes &Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.

GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%). Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing. They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a busines! s. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, and they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them “Status” or that they have achieved the American Dream. They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities. With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. They’ll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to them.

SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture. A “Talented Tenth” he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some “form” of success However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn’t read that the “Talented Tenth” was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that Segment has created another class, a “Buppie” class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal. Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in their community. They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM)

They do not understand that they are no better than each other of what they own as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two paychecks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms. Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are “helping” their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don’t worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, ‘THEY DON’T READ!!!!

(Prove them wrong. Please pass this on! After Reading it..)
The name of this article is BLACKS DON’T READ!
Being a person of color I did not mean any harm by posting this, I just wanted to know what others felt about this article I read!!!

Question:

twilight ending is this all true? and please dont tell me to read the book?

is this true

Isabella “Bella” Swan is thrown an eighteenth birthday party by Alice and Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and the rest of their vampire family. While unwrapping a gift, she receives a paper cut. Edward’s brother Jasper, although attempting a non-human diet, is overwhelmed by the scent of blood and tries to attack Bella. In an attempt to keep her safe from the world of vampires, Edward tells Bella that he no longer loves her and leaves the town of Forks, Washington with his family. Bella becomes depressed and seeks comfort with Jacob Black, an old family friend who eases her pain over losing Edward.
Bella and Jacob begin spending a lot of time together, and Bella soon discovers that the rush of adrenaline present when she places herself in dangerous situations stimulates hallucinations of Edward’s voice. Bella begins seeking out dangerous behavior, such as riding a motorcycle, to trigger the illusions. Meanwhile, Jacob finds out that he is a werewolf, and eventually reveals this secret to Bella. After Bella attempts cliff-diving, she gets caught in a riptide and is rescued by Jacob.

At the same time, Alice Cullen, Edward’s vampire sister who has visions of the future, has a vision of Bella jumping off the cliff. Presuming Bella is dead, Alice rushes to Forks to check on Charlie, Bella’s father, while Edward calls Bella’s home. Jacob answers and informs Edward that Charlie is “at the funeral”, referring to that of a man in town who had a heart attack, but Edward draws the conclusion that he means Bella’s funeral. Desperate after Bella’s supposed death, Edward flees to Italy to see the Volturi, peace-keeping vampires who would be able to kill Edward, granting him leave of a world without Bella.
Bella and Alice rush to Italy to stop Edward, and save him before it is too late. Before they leave Italy, the Volturi tell them that Bella, a human who knows of the existence of vampires, must either be killed or changed into a vampire herself. After they return to Forks, Edward explains to Bella that he only left in order to protect her, and she forgives him. The book ends with the Cullens voting in favor of Bella being changed into a vampire, much to Edward’s dismay.

Eclipse:

Breaking Dawn is split into three separate “books”, or parts. The first part details Bella’s marriage and honeymoon with Edward, which they spend on a private island off the coast of Brazil. Edward grants Bella’s wish and makes love with her. Soon after, Bella finds a box of unused tampons and realizes that she is pregnant. After contacting Carlisle, who confirms her belief, she and Edward plan to return home. Edward, concerned for her well being, urges her to get an abortion. However, Bella wants to keep the child and decides to contact Rosalie for support, knowing that Rosalie has always wanted children.

The second part of the novel is written from Jacob Black’s point of view, and lasts throughout Bella’s pregnancy and childbirth. The pack of werewolves, not knowing what danger the unborn child may pose, make plans to destroy it, even though they must kill Bella to do so. Jacob vehemently disagrees with this decision and revolts, leaving the pack to form his own with Seth and Leah Clearwater. Bella soon gives birth, approximately a month after becoming pregnant. The baby breaks many of her bones, and Bella loses massive amounts of blood. In order to save her life, Edward changes her into a vampire. Jacob, who was present for the birth, immediately “imprints” — an involuntary response in which a werewolf finds his soul mate — on Bella’s newborn daughter, Renesmee.
The final section of Breaking Dawn shifts back to Bella’s perspective, finding her changed into a vampire and enjoying her new life and abilities. However, the vampire Irina misidentifies Renesmee as an “immortal child”, a child who has been turned into a vampire. The creation and protection of “immortal children” was previously outlawed by the Volturi. After Irina presents her allegation to the Volturi, they plan to destroy Renesmee and the Cullens. In an attempt to save her, the Cullens gather vampires from around the world to stand as witnesses and prove to the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Upon confronting the gathered Cullen allies and witnesses, the Volturi discover that they have been misinformed and immediately execute Irina for her mistake. However, they remain undecided on whether Renesmee should be viewed as a threat to the secret existence of vampires. At that time, Alice and Jasper, who had left prior to the confrontation, return with Nahuel, a 150-year-old vampire-human crossbreed like Renesmee. He demonstrates that the crossbreeds pose no threat and the Volturi leave, knowing that they no longer have just reason to destroy Renesmee. Bella, Edward and Renesmee return to their home, free to live their

Question:

My Book Part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

ok so sorry for how long it is:( but this is the “second part of the book” because the first question i posted wouldnt let me put the whol thing down. this is not the whole book this is only like 1 chapter. please read it and tell me what is wrong with it and stuff. oh and you should probably ( you SHOULD ) read part one which is MY BOOK!!!!!!! thats the question so type it in or whatever MY BOOK!!!!! and then plz type in My Book Part 2!!!! thank you!!!

we decided to go back to the house. Once we where at the house I went straight up to my room and got in bed. When I fell asleep I had the weirdest dream, I was being chased by a monster type thing, I didn’t know where Jesse and Vanessa were but I knew they were there. I heard the creature coming closer and closer, and I was scared, until finally… BAM!!! I woke up in a deadbeat sweat. I walked down to the kitchen, pulled out the new Chocó Chocolate Ice Cream; we just bought, and watched a Desperate Housewives marathon.

When I woke up it was really early, like around 7 am. I realized I had eaten almost all of the Chocó Chocolate Ice Cream. Desperate Housewives was over and I was now looking at The Los Angeles News Cast. Apparently some girl from UCLA, the college we were at, had been found dead in the woods. She looked familiar, but not familiar enough to know her name.
“Have you been down here all night?” came a voice from behind me.
“No,” Vanessa gave me a knowing look, “maybe… fine”
“What, why?”
“I don’t know… Desperate Housewives was on,” I gave her one of those have smiles.
“What’s this!?” she asked sternly, as she lifted up the Chocó Chocolate Ice Cream can.
“Umm”
“Tess! Uhh I feel like I just told you this, when we get depressed we do not go for the Chocó!”
“I know, I was just, I don’t know”
“Well come on, it’s time to hit the gym”
“I don’t want to” I wined.
“Come on we go every Sunday, and you just ate that ice cream”
“Uhh, fine, let me go get ready”

When we got to the gym there was this cute guy on the treadmill next to me.
“Hey,” he said
“Hey,” I said kind of flirty, “do you go here?”
“Oh I just exchanged, I was at USC”
“Oh nice, I here it’s very nice there”
“Ya, well it’s kind of out there”
“Oh”
“So what are you majoring in?”
“Oh umm, the arts”
“Oh cool. I am majoring pre-med”
“Oh wow, so you want to be a doctor”
“Ya, umm ok so I saw you and I was just like, wow I need to ask this girl at, so will you go out with me”
I coughed a little while I said this, “Oh ya sure, when?”
“How about tomorrow night?”
“Sounds good, I live at the Tri Delta house”
“K, I will pick you up at 7”
“I will be waiting”
As he got off the treadmill and left, I realized I didn’t even get his name.

When Sunday was over and classes started the next day, I went first to my English class. When I got there I noticed someone coming in. It was the treadmill guy, I immediately got up and went toward him.
“Hey,” I said in another one of my flirty voices.
“Oh hey, look I never got your name yesterday”
“Oh ya, it Tess, I never got your either”
“It’s Tyler”
“Well hello, Tyler”
“Well hello, Tess”
“Class, class, please settle down and take your seats,” shouted the “professor”, Mr. Milan.
“Ok then, see you tonight”
“See you tonight”
After class I had a lot of things to do, I went to the drycleaners, went to lunch, had a dentist appointment, had a couple other classes, and finally got ready for my date.

You need to read this, and edit it and get someone you know to read it. Repeat that as many times as you can. You need to check up on your punctuation and grammar, also your spelling. Never abbreviate with things like “K” if you are seriously trying to write a book. Look at the way you construct your sentences. You’ve put a comma in the wrong spot here and there…
Other than that, its pretty good. Try not to dawdle on unimportant information, but make sure to have enough description.
I’m sure this could turn out to be a pretty interesting read.
Good luck!

Question:

Why is the ex-boyfriend being vindictive?

He leaves the house while I am taking a nap (wasn’t feeling well) ’cause i said the night before that he was a man that did not want kids because he did not want the responsibilities. I made the comment when we watching a show that had a young man “taking care of business” because he found out that he was having a baby. Long story short we have been together close to 4 years. The first year was “fooling around” then of course, being a woman I started to develop feelings. It took about a year for him to recognize that I was there for him and that i had feelings for him. He moved in and we lived together for 2 years. In those two years, of being told I couldn’t (I have had female problems and on top of that I had a tubal ligation reversal so was told things were close to slim or basically NADA, I got pregnant. Shocker to both of us n i got pregnant. I lost the baby boy in the second trimester. We both took it hard. After that we decided that we wanted to try again. WE BOTH DECIDED! I lost the next two. The second was early, the 3rd was also in the 2nd trimester, also a boy. I took that very hard. I even blamed him for stressing me out (long story but one of the things that the doctors were CLOSELY watching was my blood pressure)! After that I find out that on top of the hypertension I also have a blood clotting disorder and was told that if I wanted a baby that I would have to take blood thinners via injections. A few months after that he tells me that he does not want kids (he has none). I was so hurt! This was constantly on my mind and I guess that is why I made that comment. Anyway, after the comment he took some of his stuff! I was so angry, I flipped out because he took some of his stuff when I WAS TAKING A NAP! So i went off on him. I called him a coward and told him that if he wanted to leave to take it all, all his stuff! I was so hurt that I would text stuff like ” i do not understand” ” I am sorry I made the comment” ” Why are you doing this”. I am a 37 year old educated professional woman that felt lost and abandoned! A week after he leaves he goes to a training school that was scheduled months ago in another state and I am still hurt. He would not call or text. What do I find? After someone decides to inform me via text that there was a picture of him and some woman from the training posted on Facebook. Seriously, I woke up to a text like that! Oh and before I forget, before he left he tells me we need to talk when he gets back. At that point, it had been less than 2 weeks since he walked. He got back into town a week later and I find out this woman that lives in another state has booked a trip to Texas for a weekend (that was me snooping and having friends that know how to get info). Again this man completely ignored me so I am furious. I texted him telling him that he was “everything in the book”. Why? Because I felt that with all our history he should have taken the time out to “think” about things and the things we shared and ALL the bills we had together as well. And lets not forget the tragedies we experienced together! But he didn’t. I even sent him a teddy bear to the hotel he was staying at saying I was sorry about the comment I made. Anyway, I sent the woman (which I later find out that is 4 years older than me, 8 years older than him) a facebook message and said nicely (did not call her a bit#h or anything like that) and asked what exactly is going on since I saw that pic as her profile picture with a comments “so and so and I”. Oh and by the way HER ONLY picture on facebook. She responded saying that she just met him there and they were just friends. He also claimed they were all taking pictures in the class but funny there were no other pictures until I said something then there were 2 other pics (just 2) of what looked like they were taken from a distance. I leave it that. I am so hurt at this point. He comes over after I asked him to come over to discuss the mess we had with so many bills and also because he left his fish tank. He came over with his brother to get the tank and tells me he will help me out for a few months ’cause he knew he had alot. The next day after I find out that the woman is coming to town and cursed him out he took the car he had gotten me but was in his name ( and yes, i paid for it). Then my electricity was off then internet….. etc. No warning no communication no nothing. I respect the fact that he did not want to be in the relationshiprelt I am pissed that I tried to talk to him about the bills and would have taken care of it by myself but he pulls all that crap! Oh and I had a temp job, that told me the morning he took the car when i was getting ready for work that they were letting me go! I just do not understand why he has been so vindictive like I have cheated on him or something! By now its been a month and yes i looked at the woman’s FB pag

Question:

I just found this and wish I’d have known it a few years ago?

Sex Only Reason for Cohabiting

By Cheryl Wetzstein

“I didn’t know how to be in a relationship and not have sex. That was how I kept men interested, how I kept them with me. It’s why they liked me. Or at least that’s what I thought.”

This comment, from an unidentified 25-year-old woman, is both familiar and pathetic. She wants love, so she offers sex. He, not surprisingly, takes it but runs.

“While it’s possible that a couple having sex before marriage will one day make a lifelong commitment, it is statistically more likely they won’t,” say Dr. Joe S. McIlhaney Jr. and Dr. Freda McKissic Bush.

“In fact, the likeliest outcome of premarital sex is simply more premarital sex,” they write in their book, “Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children,” which included the quote from the 25-year-old woman.

Cohabiting is growing in America, and young women should not kid themselves. It’s all about the sex.

If a woman doubts this, she should suggest to Mr. Might-Be-Right that she is willing to move in with him if there are separate bedrooms and no sexual activity until marriage. She should not be surprised if he says that if there’s no sex, there’s no reason to move in with her.

In focus groups on cohabiting, women defend it as a way to study a potential mate and experience the relationship 24 hours a day. Cohabiting reveals personal habits — does he (ever) hang up his clothes? — moods, noises and smells, women say.

But whether guys say so or not, cohabiting to them is primarily a bedroom test. If a woman gets a passing grade there, she moves on to the nuisance test. If she’s too moody, demanding, ditsy, picky, boring, weird or obnoxious, bags will be packed. After all, this is just a test drive. Good times, but see ya.

Some may think I am a little too glib here, so let me quote Francis Fukuyama, who wrote “The Great Disruption, Human Nature and the Reconstitution of Social Order,” a 1999 book about the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s.

“One of the greatest frauds perpetuated during the Great Disruption was the notion that the sexual revolution was gender-neutral, benefiting women and men equally,” he wrote. “In fact, the sexual revolution served the interests of men.”

Birth control and abortion may have freed women from worrying about pregnancy, Mr. Fukuyama explained, but it also meant “men felt liberated” from social norms requiring them to take care of any woman they managed to impregnate. Men became less attached to women and children.

Virtually all men have benefited from this new sexual paradigm, Mr. Fukuyama added. Throughout history, only powerful, wealthy, high-status men enjoyed sexual access to many women — in fact, that was a major reason men wanted to be powerful, wealthy and high-status, he wrote. Now millions of women are giving ordinary men (i.e., men without power, wealth or high status) sexual access.

I find it inexplicable that women think cohabiting is in their best interests. How many times do we hear about a woman who has gone through life collecting boyfriends, house keys and bedroom experiences, only to end up at a sperm bank in her 30s because she (still) doesn’t have a husband but can’t live another day without a baby? And yet that is the fate for many female cohabiters. Single women, not married women, are using sperm banks in ever greater numbers, according to a recent article in the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender.

Divorce brings heartache to both men and women, and cohabiting has been portrayed as a way to avoid divorce. But here’s another way to look at it: Divorce is like having your childhood home burn down because of an electrical fire in the furnace. Cohabiting is like coping with that tragedy by living without a furnace and using space heaters instead.

Marriage education can rescue us. In fact, as relationship-skills programs spread through U.S. schools, houses of worship and communities, men and women will see they can create satisfying, lasting, healthy love relationships.

When that happens, they can both get off the merry-go-round of cohabiting and kick the “divorce revolution” to the curb.
