Disney world vacation package/ticket options.?
Hello, we will be going to Disney World the 1st week of May and were wanting to book it in the next week. We are only going Tuesday-Saturday. We were wondering if there was an option of buying the basic tickets with only one day being a park hopper instead of all of them. Were taking our 3 year old so we mostly want to spend one full day at each park at a time. I was wanting to take her to Magic kingdom the day we arrive and the last day. 4 basic tickets are less expensive than 3 park hoppers. We will be staying at a Disney resort. What would you reccomend for a Short 3 day trip with a toddler? Going longer isnt an option as we are leaving her baby brother at home with grandma. Thanks so much!
Answer: The only way you could do this would be to purchase individual one day tickets for each park day, and just add a hopper to one of them. If you purchase a ticket with 3 or 4 days on it, you can't add a hopper to just one day because it's the same exact price as it would be to add them to all the days. When you buy a ticket, it's a standard $54 to add the hopper to it, no matter how many days are on the ticket. The hopper will apply to all days on the ticket. They don't offer it cheaper for just 1 day.
So therefore, if you buy a 1 day ticket with a park hopper, it'll be $136. It's $82 for each day that you don't have a hopper. Now that's if you buy each ticket individually. If you buy a 4 days ticket, and add the hopper, the total cost of the entire ticket is is $286. That's still cheaper than buying 4 separate tickets with a hopper on one of them, which would come to $382. It's actually pretty significant.
So I would just buy a hopper for however many days you'll be in parks rather than doing it individually. Disney makes it so it always makes more sense for you to add to your ticket.
Any trip to Disney, no matter how short, is fun & worth it. Just prioritize what rides you want to see, and understand you won't be able to see & do every single thing. In 20 trips, I still haven't seen everything. But you'll have a fantastic Tuesday-Sunday with your family.

How to I forgive (forget) my girlfriend for (kinda) cheating on me?
My gf and I have been together for 9 years last month. Ive been abusive and controlling, hateful, broken things of hers, hit her, said horrible to her. This is not an excuse but I am bipolar and have been medicated for about 3 years now. Last October we split and she was engaged to a guy she had been seeing for over a year. I know this because he showed up at my house "worried" about her. Long story, she met him through her business. She denied the relationship to me before the breakup, and when I left, almost immediately they were moving forward with marriage and talking about children. I think it didnt take very long for her to become bored with him, since I wasnt around to hide from anymore. Long story short, I arrived a day early to visit her and found him there, it was 5 am when I arrived. Anyway, we are back together, she has been open with me about the relationship for the most part. Ive figured out some things she has lied about, but I absolutely love and adore her. I am absolutely no saint in this equation but am having a tremendously hard time getting this out of my head. I think about them being together every day, not sexually but him just sleeping in my bed, being in my house, sitting in her car, where did they go, how did she treat him? She has told me on several occasions he was trying to seal the deal with her, he wanted to get married quickly. I think really, the only thing they had i common was neither of them had been married, had no children but wanted a family. He wasnt smart, is a bigot, didnt know how to use a computer, doesnt read, really into racing which we are not. Anyway I can dig on this guy all day, but the truth is, he is to blame, she is to blame, I am to blame. I try to be calm about it, but sometimes it drives me crazy. I wonder if she is thinking about him, talking to him, is sorry shes not with him, wishes she married him, is she still betraying me. Im in a horrible place with all this. Is there something I can do to get this out of my head? I will admit I was not an angle while we were apart. She asked me to let her go in January and I was devastated. I had hope until she asked me to do that. I just wanted not to be alone. People do mean things to each other but that is no excuse for what we have done. I dont claim not to be why this all happened, I just want to know what I can do to move past this "relationship" that she had with him. How can I forgive her, or at least forget it. Honestly I still have a lot of hate for him, if I see him I cant tell you I wont go shell on him. With all this I find myself super jealous, Im asking myself if Im keeping her from being in a marriage and having a family. If she would be happier and have a greater life experience if I were to leave her alone. Let me say again, that I absolutely love her with all my heart, and for myself I am in love with her. I cannot see that she feels the same way. Can someone give me some advice either to end this, or make it better. First I have to get this relationship she had straight in my head. Are there questions I can ask that will help me put this away and move on? Am I just hanging on to something that is ruined? My heart breaks thinking about not being with her, not knowing her, protecting her. If I leave it will have to be a clean break, no contact what so ever. So with all that said, I have to tell you this is a lesbian relationship. If youre homophobic dont litter this post with your hate.
Answer: Without some serious counseling on both your parts, the two of you should not be together at all. This relationship is very unhealthy for the two of you, and the least of your worries is whether or not you can forgive her for something she did while you two were no together.

When Should a Kid Start Kindergarten?
According to the apple-or-coin test, used in the Middle Ages, children should start school when they are mature enough for the delayed gratification and abstract reasoning involved in choosing money over fruit. In 15th- and 16th-century Germany, parents were told to send their children to school when the children started to act rational. And in - Elizabeth Weil article on trend toward delaying childs enrollment in kindergarten, both among parents hoping to position their children more competitively within their classes and among states hoping to raise tests scores; says redshirting, as trend is called, is particularly strong among parents able to afford another year of pre-school for their children and may have accelerated with introduction of what used to be first-grade material into kindergarten; says recent research has called into question long-held view that benefits of being relatively older than ones classmates disappear after first few years of school; discusses concern that trend is unfair to children from less affluent homes; photo (L) - Elizabeth Weil is a contributing writer for the magazine. Her most recent article was about lethal injection. - By Elizabeth Weil

FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN
The day finally arrived.
Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven.
He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.
St. Peter said,
"Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."
Forrest responds,
"It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But, nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test aint too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."
St. Peter continued,
"Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions. First:
What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second:
How many seconds are there in a year?
Third:
What is Gods first name?"
Forrest leaves to think the questions over.
He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, "Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers"
Forrest replied,
"Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy.
That would be Today and Tomorrow."
The Saints eyes opened wide and he exclaimed,
"Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer."
"How about the next one?" asked St. Peter
"How many seconds in a year?
Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heavens name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
Forrest replied, "Shucks, theres got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd ... "
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind ... but I will have to give you credit for that one, too.
Let us go on with the third and final question.
Can you tell me Gods first name"?
"Sure," Forrest replied, "its Andy."
"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter. "Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"
"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song,
ANDY WALKS WITH ME,
ANDY TALKS WITH ME,
ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN. "
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said:
"Run Forrest, run!"
Answer: Lol. I like it. That is one that I haven't heard before. Can I share it with some friends?

What do you think of the short story I wrote for year 10 English?
I slowly wake from another painful nights sleep. The dry leaves crunch underneath me as I gradually get up off the hard ground, shaded by the trees above. My eyes adjust to the light, I look around at the familiar surroundings. A long dry and dusty road with no cars, grassy paddocks with no cattle, everything is dry except the few tall gum trees. I sit back down on the hard ground, slowly pulling my old, worn boots on.
I follow a path lining an old barbwire fence. I walk in silence for a while until I reach a small creek. I kneel down by the gentle stream of water. I see a tired old man staring back, his dull lifeless face peering up at me. I cup my hands, dip them down and drink for a while before I get up again.
I make my way down that dusty road. It’s not long until I reach the near by country town. People stare at me but it’s no different to any other day, some nod hello acknowledging my presence, others ignore me, trying not to stare. I soon reach the wooden bench where I sit and spend my lonely days. Watching the people go by, wandering in and out of the small strip of shops.
Something catches my eye, standing out amongst the litter and scrap caught in the gutter. I can already see it’s a scratchy of some sort. Any other person would have seen it as just another piece of rubbish. I bend down to pick it up. It has already been scratched. Mustn’t be a winner, I take a closer look and to my astonishment I see that I have won $25,000. I’ve never won anything before. I quickly pocket it and make my way back along the dusty road.
I slept slightly better last night knowing I’d have a good day just because of a little piece of paper. I make my way back towards the town. I walk for a short distance before I arrive at the bench where I found my fortune. I keep walking, past the shops ‘til I reach the station. The city train is just pulling in. I get on the first carriage. The steady motion of the train lets me drift off into a light sleep. An hour goes by and I wake up three stops before mine.
The train grinds to a halt. I shuffle over towards the door. A mother grips onto her young daughter, who’s glancing up at me. I may be homeless but that doesn’t mean I’m any less of a genuine person. Busy people get off and on the train. I exit the station, walking down the noisy city streets. I pass a busy corner. A homeless man sits and stares blankly into the heards of people rushing by.
I come to the city a lot. It’s an interesting place to be, so different from the country, always loud and busy. I soon find myself outside of a tall grey building. I walk in. I feel the many eyes stare. I walk to the front desk, a neatly dresses lady sits behind it.
“Can I help you, Sir?” she asks
“Could you tell me where the Scratch ‘n’ Win Regional Office is?” I reply
“Thirty third floor, room 1509,” she answers
I wander over to where the elevators are. My stumpy, grubby finger presses the little arrow button. Bing! The left elevators doors open, I walk into the elevator. Everyone else decides to wait for another, they don’t want to be stuck with me. The doors start to shut before a man stops them with his hand. I see him eye my scratchy as he enters.
“Twenty five grand, that’s a lot. Do you know what your gonna do with that money?” he says enthusiastically
“Um, not quite sure yet,” I reply politely
“You could invest that you know, triple it,” he responds
You could say that I’m not good with managing money, I don’t have much of it and I hadn’t really thought of investing it.
“I’m good with that kind of stuff, business and all that,” he rambles on as I ponder his proposal
Two Weeks Later
Looking back now you might say I got greedy. That man in the elevator turned out to be a con artist.
I walk down the little trail to the creek to have a drink.
I found out it was a scam a couple of days later, unfortunately after he’d gotten his hands on my winnings. I managed to save myself $50. And the first thing I bought was a pair of new boots.
I look down into the water. An old man smiles back at me. He looks happy and comfortable with who he is. His familiar face reminds me of the joy of a simple life.

Will the Thai New Year make it difficult to travel or book hotels?
My girlfriend and I are going to Thailand and Vietnam in April and coincidentally are arriving in Bangkok just before the Thai New Year. We had intended on spending a few days in the city before heading off for a short stay in Ko Samet before returning to Bangkok to fly to Hanoi. We have never been to Thailand before and would like to know if anyone has experience of travelling or arranging accommodation during this period that they could let us know.
Thanks!
Answer: YES!! There will be issues. I agree that Bkk will be quieter as far as traffic and accomodaions should not be a problem there. However, you have to realize that millions and millions of Thai will be leaving the city for the holday. Any means of public transport will be fully booked. If you have a reservation in Samet then the worst that could happen is that you will have to take a taxi to the ferry from Bkk which will likely cost 3000 baht or so - abt $100.
Agoda is good for booking hotels at a saving.

is this normal? I enrolled my 10 year old boy in a summer program run by a community university, that is..?
mainly sports oriented. My husband and I take turns to pick him up on evenings. The other day I arrived earlier and invited to watch my kid and others during the last game of the day, in a big gym. What seemed a bit strange to me is that all the boys were only wearing their shorts, no shirts, no shoes. I was aware the floor was covered by mats, like in the school gym, so no shoes were allowed, but in the school the shirts remained on boys.
My husband was already aware of this and saw no trouble with it. My boy didnt bother by this, either (although it is a battle to make him shirtless when at the doctor), although he complained he wasnt comfortable at all during some mixed games. The girls, (with shirts) were then in the other side of the gym, in their own games.
I dont find a shirtless boy incorrect or something, but find this a bit strange.
Is this practice common? Am I too prudish?
And I had to buy some same color shorts as "uniform". I thought he would use a shirt.
Answer: Was it by choice or because they were told to. If the boys removed their shirts by choice then that is one thing. If they were told to then I would not bring my kids back there again.

Dog walker and crate questions?
We recently got a 17 pound beagle/chihuahua (we think) from a shelter and shes estimated to be one year old. My wife is a teacher, so during the summer, the dog is not crated for long periods during the day. Nevertheless, she has done well with the crate for the shorter periods and at night (8 hours).
When the school year arrives, there will be no one home for at least 7.5 hours (7-3:30) each school day.
When, if ever, can a small dog stay in a crate for this long? If she seems fine outside of the crate for long periods, can she just roam the house for that period? Should we get a dog walker for this school year?
Thanks for helping me sort this out. Its been a few years since we had a dog (85 pound foxhound mutt), and he used to just nap when we were gone. Eight hours was never a problem.
Answer: If you decide to leave her outside her crate, give her a small room or blocked off area to herself such as the bathroom. A room that is easily cleaned in case she does have an accident, and a room where she cant get into much trouble.
Unlike what that other person said, you don't want to leave plenty of food and water. A dog that age should be eating 2 meals a day. In the morning before they are left and then sometime in the evening. If you leave food during the day, you are just asking for them to need to go to the bathroom. I would leave some water but not a whole lot, especially if the weather isn't very hot, since a lot of water would cause the need to go bathroom even more.
She would probably be fine to be left in the crate if you wanted. It depends on how much you trust your dog to be housetrained while you are gone during the day.
If you have someone who could swing by mid-day to take her for a walk and let her go bathroom outside, that would be best however I think at that age she is capable of being left on her own whether inside her crate or in a small room.

Is is poor practice for plasma donation center clients to all sign in & out on a single fingerprint ID device?
I recently started donating blood plasma again after a two-year break, and things certainly have changed in the check-in and check-out procedures. Most of the changes make things a lot more convenient for both clients and staff, but I feel a little uneasy about the new check-in and check-out procedures at the center I go to. When I arrive, I have to put my finger on a small, digit-shaped electronic pad that captures the print for identification. I do the same upon leaving, in order to get paid. The problem is that dozens of people stick their fingers on these two pads all day long, and I have never once seen anyone clean them. The thought of where all these peoples fingers may have been... I know that everyone who donates has been screened for all types of diseases, but that doesnt mean theyre not carrying common colds and viruses. And most of the donors are like me, short on cash, using city buses to get there. It just doesnt seem sanitary to me. Do I have good cause for concern?
Answer: Of course.. ask the staff for an alcohol wipe-actually an alcohol pad is what is usually used - if it's OK - say you don't want any germs on your finger - and if they can wipe the ID device - they use them to wipe probably to draw blood or insert an IV needle... they should be accommodating... say you don't want to catch a cold -(or anything else)... don't worry about too many other diseases everybody there is checked frequently for serious stuff...most people are disease free who are donating though not all perhaps so you have a right to be concerned...P.S. If they don't let you do this ask to immediately wash your hands after touching the device before you go in and after as you use it on the way out too - I see you use it twice in your note - in and out.. Using plenty of soap and water is very effective at getting rid of any germs...

Cars Clogging New York? Most Are From the City

For - Contrary to common assumption, suburbanites do not make up majority of commuters who drive to work in Manhattan; census data shows more than half the drivers who crowd into Manhattan each workday come from five boroughs; finds 35 percent of government workers drive to work, many because they have free parking; finds 20 percent of drivers entering busiest parts of Manhattan are only passing through, on their way somewhere else; detailed and often surprising portrait of traffic in New York City emerges by examining wealth of data collected by government agencies; traffic, and competing proposals for what to do about it, will probably receive more attention in coming months as administration of Mayor Michael R Bloomberg creates plan to accommodate citys expected growth over next 25 years of one million more residents, many of them with cars; photo; map; chart (L) - By WILLIAM NEUMAN

Valentines day and a new relationship?
OK... so Im seeing a new guy who is 5 years older then me, making him 31. Valentines day is approaching and I dont know whether to buy him something or not. Well have been seing each other for just short of 2 months when Valentines day arrives.
Secondly, has anyone got any suggestions? Its tricky cos its all so new, but dont want to not bother and for him to think Im not overally interested at all, cos I really am. I love being in his company, he makes me laugh, smile, conversations are always great, we do things and hes really accpeting to my daughter who is currently 8 months old. He works in the race course industry, hes a very, very hard worker, he enjoys spending time with his mates too. So I would be stuck with what to get him - maybe something small but shows alot of thought - any suggestions please anyone?
Answer: I think you should get him something small that lets him know that you're thinking about him. Or get him something like tickets to a show or sporting event that the two of you could go to.
Try www.gifts.com they usually have some ridiculous things to buy but it always gets my imagination going to find the right gift.
Good luck!

Looking forward to 6-6-06....?
I cant wait for that day to arrive: 06-06-2006!
Why?
Because Im tired of all these stupid questions posted here about 6-6-6!!
There seem to be too many idiots out there who think something momentous and important will happen on that day. Probably the same kinda idiots who thought the world was going to end when all computers were going to crash in the year 2000 (Remember "Y2K"?)
Just as those people were proven worng for "Y2K" (not to mention all the other times in history when the date 6-6-06 occurred), so will the current batch of "6-6-06" pseudo-fatalists be proven wrong.
Ill bet you anything that by the year 2106 there will be yet again another "6-6-06" scare, probably propagated by the grandchildren of our current bunch of idiots. Thank God Ill be long dead by the time 6-6-2106 arrives.
Life is too short to be worried about nonsense like "6-6-6." Get a Life, people!
By the way....
The REAL "year 6-6-6" happened SIX YEARS after the death of Jesus....not two thousand and six years later.
Again, GET A LIFE people!
Answer: I totally agree...
people need to just get a life and stop all this nonsense about numbers.

Met a girl online, Meeting in person?
Writing this at 2am so sorry if my grammer is a little terrible :) But I appreciate you reading this in advance..
Okay, so the story begins like this... I met this girl online, and have speaking to her for about half a year now. She is amazing, we talk for hours every day on skype (Webcams) and never have a silent moment. We always love to talk to eachother, if were not on a computer, its via phone.
Weve had a few ups and downs, but we always seem to make up. Recently, she said that she has fallen in love with me, which was great, since I am in love with her.
So after some discussion, she decided that she wants to come and see me for christmas. This will be her first christmas away from her parents and she has spent quite a bit of money to come here (We live in seperate countries) so Im pretty sure she knows what shes getting into.
Shes made it clear a couple of times that she would want a relationship with me but wants to meet in person because anything happens just because "Its the right thing to do" (Im still not sure if a long distance relationship would work, but lets see) anyway..
She will be arriving in a few short days, she has everything packed and tickets have been bought, and now my nerves is really starting to set in..
A bit of background about me... I have issues to put it bluntly, I was bullied in school because of my weight, and I never fought back, Not because I was scared, but I have always had a caring nature so I just let it pass. But every since school, I have always been very self concious about myself. I am overweight right now, not too much but its noticeable.
During the age of 15+, I lost total care for myself and fell into despression. I left school and basically lived at home in my room for a couple of years. At the age of 18, something in me woke up and I decided that I needed to have a life. So this is how I got back into College. I had no exams results to show for my school days but they let me in anyway.
So I was at college for a year, completed the course etc and then it was the holidays. I was due to go back to college in september this year, But once again, my self concious issues got in the way when someone decided to call me something crude while walking in the college. Basically, I hit the guy, broke his nose, and then left college.
I am due to go back to college next year to give it another shot (I tried to go back but they wouldent let me since I missed some vital work).
Anyway, thats my life story, but now back to the question.
Basically, I like this girl very much. I think she is amazing and she is always telling me that my weight is not a problem and I should stop worrying about meeting her in person. No matter how many times I hear this.. I just cant seem to convince myself.
Im told I am a handsome guy from girls and guys, but I always beleive they are just saying this.. Anyway
About this girl.. She is slim, funny, smart, talkative and studys at uni.
But Ive lied to her... When she was telling me about herself, I felt so pathetic in comparisson. So thats right.. I lied about my education. I told her I was studying at uni aswell. She beleived me and I have felt so guilty ever since..
I just feel so ashamed of myself that I have lied to this girl, she dumped her last BF because he did nothing with his life.
What do I do? Do I break it off to let her down gently?
Do I not meet her and send her the money?
Do I continue this charade and hope she dosent find out?
She does really care for me, she has bought xmas presents for me and my family, and is convinced that she wants a relationship. Im just so nervous to meet her even though she tells me not to worry.
Ive also lied about past relationships... Sure Ive had relationships in the past but hardly a real one and never had one during my teenage years (Because I never really went outside, sad I know) She knows im a virgin but she was happy about that for something and wants to take me through it.
Anyway, Im sorry for writing so much.. Must be the coffee. But I just had to write it down somewere, and I really appreciate you for taking the time to read it and hopefully giving me an answer.
Thank you x
Answer: This girl seems like she really likes you. She deserves the truth and as long as you're planning on going back to school it should be fine. Don't let the way you feel about yourself stop you from having something good.=) The girl is spending Christmas with you and not her family that's a BIG deal. So you owe it to her to be truthful and stop letting your self-image get in the way.=) Hope I helped.

i feel lost and like ill never be happy again?
Let me start by saying, I realize I am responsible for the mess I have caused, but I am still overwhelmed with guilt, stress, anxiety and a fear that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I am looking for comfort or advice or maybe even the knowledge that someone else has felt this way before and (hopefully) found a way to be happy again.
my story starts in my teenage years , i guess. i have struggled on and off with depression since then even taking medication for it at several points in my life. i always felt somthign was missing in my life or that i was missing out on somthign the rest of the world was experiencing, but i never knew WHAT it was. i generally went through highs and lows in my life. a few years back i was on a "high" - very productive and exciting year for me - i accomplished a lot at work, took an amazing international vacation, ran a marathon, quit smoking, paid off my car , etc. i was focused and happy and adventerous and decided it was a great time in my life to go after my dream of moving across country to CA on my own - somthing i had always wanted to do. well, i made the move and i LOVED it. the first year was probably the best year of my life - i took advantage of everythign it had to offer, put myself out there to meet people and really fell in love with it. eventually, i secured a "real" job in my field out there but, in a short time, i realized it wasnt what i was expecting and i did not enjoy my time there. with a now busier schedule of a 40 hour work week, i didnt have the same time or energy to go out and meet people and a lot of teh friends i met my first year had since relocated. i still loved CA though and i loved that i was on this adventure by myself - i felt so proud to be so independent and to go out and do somthing all on my own. i come from a small town and, i know this probably sounds stupid, but i loved simply being able to tell people that i had gottne out of there and was doing somthing different. over the next year, i found it increasingly hard to meet friends , especially ones i really felt i connected with. i tried to keep busy but i was certainly gettin glonely. it was hard to talk to my family/friends back home and hear about what they were up to - i was so envious that they got to spend so much time around each other and had such a big social network - somthing i had CHOSE to leave. i didnt regret the move though - like i said, it was quite empowering. however, about 1 1/2 years into my new job, i suddenly really started questioning whether or not that was the field i wanted to be in and i really became very stressed and did not like the company. i had never had a panic attack in my life until then. i just didnt knwo what to do - i was so overwhelmed at work and did not think i could handle it. not in the right frame of mind and with little support system there, i decided to quit my job and, with no job, realizing i didnt want to work in the field i was qualified for, and having almost no friends left in CA, i decided to come back home where i could stay wiht family for a while. i thought a lot of these problems would disappear once i was surrounded by loved ones again. i came back hopeful but since returning ive had more feelings and emotions than i can count. they say once you leave, its never the same - well thats for sure. i feel like i saw so much, met so many people, etc and sort of outgre this place - plus im so scared how my depression will react once the winter and short days arrive!! i feel so lost. i feel like i made my decision out of stress and not knwonig what to do rather than out of logic and thought. i loved CA - yes, i was lonely and i felt like i was missing out on a lot back here, but now ithat im back i ralize everyone else has also moved on with their lives and PA (homestate) doesnt offer the thigns i loved about CA - nice weather, people from all over the country, lots of outdoor activities, a sense of independence and being away from the "same old thing". im so scared now that i ruined my life and ill never be as happy as i was - its like i finally made my dream come true and then gave up on it when things got hard. im trying really hard to come to terms wit this and make the best but i am so depressed and stressed. i have decided to go back to school now that i am back for a degree in a field i have always been interested in. also, i am looking for apartments in a different city thanwhere i am from so that at least that is "new" and will give me a chance to meet new people rather than going straight back to my old life. i just have a dreading feeling that i made a big mistake that i will regret for the rest of my life. i think "well, youre here now and you have to be for the time being. but yo u can always go back" maybe in a year or 2 or after i finish my degree. but i get scared that i will become content and not have the energy to start over again. has
Answer: I suggest you look into therapy. You sound depressed to me...
