My wife has musclar dystrophy and I need toget her a electric wheel chair and get one threw NHS, Is there charity i can help get fiancial support from? Good chairs cost a fair bit of money but would give my wife the freedom she needs.

I turned 21 recently at the end of November, which is no longer recently, and through my teens there were things I loved and even though I was an Agnostic, I have never believed in an after life, the only thing I have ever believed in 100%, and completely sure was going to happen is oblivion and eternity.

Eternity is a very scary concept to me.

Since I turned 21, I have realized that my years of being a "kid" or over, I’m allowed to drink at a bar and in the eyes of the state, I am now a full adult, and that symbolizes a chapter of my life that is now over, something never realized was there and what I will never get back for the rest of eternity, I am now at the peak of my life, no more development, but not quite aging, I realize that I am mortal, and now I’m not a kid just chillin and relaxing without a care in the world, I’m now being dragged to the grave kicking and screaming and I WILL die one day, and that’s the only thing in the world I cant control, I can control what happens tomorrow, but I cant control the fact that I will one day die.
Its the same for my family and older people in my life. My dad is no longer a strong person who is kind at heart, he is now older and frail, he is bitter and is more than half way through his journey, he is 47 and realized that he has 30 years left give or take, and isn’t the person I know any more, he is a slave to age, just like everybody.

Since I have realized my mortality, everything I think about always has death connected to it.
I can’t stop thinking about death, and the fact that I don’t matter, nothing I do matters, nothing at all matters.
Even if I do live for the day, the fact remains that I will still die one day, and I can’t ignore it, even if I was at the best beach party, I wouldn’t be able to block the fact that I will out of my head.
I can live for the moment, but the fact that I have a full time job and bills to play, kinda eats up my freedom, I can’t live for the day today though, or I will get fired for being hung over on the job.
This isn’t me ranting about work, this is me basically saying that even if I wanted to live for the moment, the fact remains that I work a regular job, and its hard to live for the moment when I’m photocopying or reviewing, I’m kinda living to make money.
I can take a vacation, but then I get 20 days to live on the edge and live for the moment a year, exciting huh?

Somebody must be able to tell me something to chill me out, somebody must be able to say something for me to think about when I think about death.
Anybody?
Anything?

Please don’t tell me to see a therapist, I have seen 3 and they all suck, they tell me that I should fill my time with pointless activities to make myself feel better, I think its called C.B.T, and by watering plants and polishing wooden furniture and all that stuff, it will take my mind off it or something.

I would rather be right that ignorant and happy.

my piano teacher has a piano stool/chair/whatever you want to call it. it’s red on top, and it looks kind of like a bar stool with a tire stuck on the bottom. because of the tire-like thing on the bottom, you really have to support yourself, but you have a lot more freedom to lean and move. she said she bought it on amazon for about 0. can you please help me find a link to this? thanks a ton!
nope, it wasn’t made of wood…

I moved back home after 6 years of sweet independence after a breakup.It was supposed to be a 3 mo thing until my bro and I had money for furniture and such.He cannot keep a job or hold onto his money and so he is WAY behind on the deal.Its now been 8 mo of living there.My parents have "banned" us from doing certain things, like sleeping over at friend’s houses,going out too many nights during the week.We are on a family plan as far as the cell phones go,and b/c they suspected I was talking to/seeing my ex they looked at the records to see the numbers I had been calling and then confronted me about it.I have said many times that Im 25 and I pay rent to live here and I should be free to do what I please barring coming in wasted or hurting someone.I think this is a total invasion of privacy.They think Im ungrateful.They dont pay for the phone or anything else having to do with me.I have a friend who needs help with her mortgage and I need a place of freedom.
They think that they owe me no explaination about anything they do.They refuse to tell me how they know I talk to my ex even though I already know how.(they went online) My question is when is it too far?Do they have the right to know everything about everything in their adult child’s life?Do they have the right to institute rules and bannings?My friend needs help and I need a place, but I have much younger siblings that will be heartbroken when I go.They did know that it was temporary at the beginning and I was supposed to wait for my bro but he is really slacking and its been too long.I feel like I have to ask permission for things and ask for my freedom, and that bugs me.My parents are still very intimidating to me for some reason.How do I get the "balls" to really really tell them NO not "i have a problem with that" They say they are not controlling,I think otherwise.Im 25 have a great job for 7 yrs,earn good money,good work ethic,go to family things,nice person…any advice?

I’m 23 years old, and FOR NOW, I am still living with my parents. That’s my grandmother, my aunt, and Godzilla… I mean, my mom. Now, everyone in my immediate family makes me want to pick up something heavy and throw it at them, but my mother is by far the worst. I can list almost all of the irritating and maddening things she does that make my life a living nightmare, but I’ll keep it to a minimum of four. First off, whenever I want to go somewhere special to chill (and yeah, I still have to ask her if I can…), or if I want to do anything remotely fun, she comes up with every reason possible to make me stay home and tells me I’m wrong for going to the same places over and over again; when in fact, I don’t! She does this every time. For example, there’s a sports bar I like to go to in Dallas called the Regal Beagle. It’s a pretty chill place for the most part… perhaps a bit of a dive, but… what can you do? I know a lot of the bartenders there, and they all seem cool to me whenever I’m there. My mother, basically, hates the fact that I have a social life, and frequently says that "people who like to hang out a lot are thugs…" Okay, I’m a thug for wanting to have a little fun, freedom and frivolity? When I try to explain my case (which gets very heated VERY quickly), she starts yelling "Go ahead! Go to the Regal Beagle, wander around and look stupid like you always do at that place! That’s why they’re tired of seein’ your ass now! Stay at home!" So much for reasoning, huh? Another thing is that she sucks at those ‘little talks’ we have. For example, whenever I’m feeling like my best friend is distancing himself from me (something that has been on my mind for the longest time…), my mom isn’t the one to help me feel better. She says things like "I don’t wanna keep hearin’ these sob stories about how your friend may be abandoning you! He ain’t your boyfriend! Shit, you need to focus on getting a girlfriend!" I’m always looking for someone to date, but what she doesn’t get is that my friends matter to me a lot, too; and it hurts badly when I think I’m being treated wrong by them. Plus, she’s always, ALWAYS talking (or shouting) over me when I try to express my opinion on anything! I can’t ever get a word in inch-wise. Very irritating and rude. And the biggest thing that really gets me pissed? In December, I signed a lease to a new place and I have a roommate named Laura. The apartment is 3 flat (6 between us two), and features a fireplace, two huge rooms with two huge closets, and a poolside view. It’s amazing. However, it’s been two months and I haven’t gotten the chance to move into it yet. Why? Because my mom insists that I get furniture first, and she thinks my roomie is someone who’s out to boss me around and take advantage of me. Laura is my friend, and I know she wouldn’t try anything. My mom really needs to realize that I’m an adult now, and I’m not going to listen to every little thing she says (or yells) anymore. Am I right or wrong on this one?

I have been in a relationship now for about 2 years… I am 34 & my gf is 27. In this time we had a lot of ups & downs but we love each other a lot. We are/were basically inseparable.

Recently my gf changed jobs & met other girls in her office. She met one girl in particular who goes bare hopping every week. Me & my gf were never into that. Now this person asks/influences my gf to go out & I am seeing less & less of her. Her co-worker is leaving her bf after 5 years tomorrow (seems she wanted her freedom also)… I am discouraged & cannot talk to her about it.

We live together & have bought furniture. She is not willing to compromise & tells me she wants to be "free". I cannot cage her so I think I will have to break this before it gets nasty… We have stuff to pay off but she seems to think bars are more important…

I think she is immature, unreasonable & influenced. We have stuff to pay & I will not stay home waiting for her to come in at all hours. Am I unreasonable?

I am a 22 year old law student. I’m in my last year of law school and I currently live with my 6 yr. old daughter. I am considering moving back home with my parents. I have enough money to meet my monthly bills but not a lot of extra money. Rent is my biggest expense. I like having my own apartment, but I want to save money so I can buy a house and pay off my non-school loan related debts before I graduate/take the bar (BTW the bar exam is in July 2010). My older and younger brother live with my parents, my sister is in college, but will be home on breaks.

My daughter and I would have to share a room, and I would put all of the furniture from my apartment into storage. What do you think? I mean I’d be giving up the freedom to have my own, but as a single parent, it’s not like I have the life of a regular bachelor anyway. Plus I’m single, and I don’t want to be forever. What do you think "the ladies" will think.
My daughter is all for it; she loves being around my mom. My brothers are cool with it. It’s not really changing anything for them. My step-dad would probably prefer that we all move out and stay out, however he is cool with it too. Okay…answer away!
One more detail…My mom is all for it. I want to find a wife soon …Do you think that potential suitors will be turned off by the fact that I live w/my parents?

Fear ran through his squinted hazel eyes, at the sight of cobwebs growing from corners, bones scattered throughout the dusty ground, and bars on the wall completely covered in darkness."W-where am I?" he said gasping for a breath. Trying to unshackle himself off the clammy, jagged wall. He was nude with only a ragged cloth covering his loins. The shackles around his hands and feet ached with the scent of blood circling his nostrils. The air was searing hot, his face was drenched with beads of sweat running down his sides.
"No, not this. It can’t be," he said struggling to release the shackles of the wall. He bowed his head between his shoulders and pulled with all his might, releasing the shackles to his freedom. He winced, making his way to a vacant stool in a corner, and sat with a lingering thought.
Is this real? Or am I dreaming a terrible nightmare? He closed his eyes for a moment, then hunched his back forward rubbing the back of his neck dry. His stomach felt queasy as he lifted himself up from his seat.

Opinions comments, please?

I work from home and am a web designer.

I am in my office chair about 10+ hours/day

What is the best Ergonomic executive office chair?

So far I’ve considered the Aeron chair and the Freedom Chair by HumanScale.

Anyone have some other suggestions?

I want the best of the best!
