What say you?Keep in mind that "continent" has various definitions, one of which is simply "large geographical region that may be defined by culture more than geography". Zealandia is made of continental crust, so just because most of it doesn't show doesn't mean it shouldn't be a continent (in my opinion). less

I haven't completed my homework, not even close :( I was supposed to do it Saturday, but had a huge list of chores, so I set myself today to finish writing it, (later session needed to edit it). But I allowed myself to get distracted... I didn't get down to it, then son asked me to go with him to a timber supplier, that was shut, so we went to an aquatic store in the same retail park. He took foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever... choosing fish... then after returning home he wanted to go to a DIY store to look for wood, again he took ageeeeeeeeees to choose a piece of wood, taking out each one to examine it.. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr But who's to blame? Me, really cos I went, with him.. I shouldn't have.. especially as he always takes forever.. but then again he's my son, and it won't be long before he flies the nest and although it's a little thing, it's nice he likes me to go with him now and then.. But now my homework seems insurmountable because I am really, really tired... less

Anyone have any advice, first hand experience, or knowledge of them?

He/she may be out there just waiting for the opportunity that this country affords...or used to afford, to all who came here for a better life. What/where is that "better" now?

Having multiple critics endlessly and you can see the problem the obsessed person has. Always attacking/always trying to sabotage/delegitimize/hobble. With such a mindset who has time for anything else but "getting back at and taking down"? Is that person someone with whom you'd want spend any time? Go on vacation with? Run your country? Why?

Or maybe to tell corny jokes or even to tell weird facts that are pretty useless but cool to read, I would also gladly appreciate too . Really.... what's the purpose of it?

Only thing is, in the last couple years, they've shown no interest to truly be with me/hang out... I have always had to make the effort. I thought, well, they are only 18, etc.. but, at 18 I was making contact with my other cousin when I wanted to see them...so , I wonder, do I go make the hours long visit to see them (they have not personally invited me.. ) at their schools, or kind of let it go.. ? Someone told me to back off, b/c why should I make the only effort to see/hang out.. but I still feel a sliver of guilt. I'm not sure why though.. they both do not ask me about my life or me ever. I just don't want to appear stand off ish either, or like I don't care at all, it's just I feel empty and not full of enthusiasm about visit- any ideas welcome.. less

I suffer from anxiety but it's really hard for me to open up to people at school/work without them seeing me with a label than as a whole person. What's your opinion on this?
