Reply to Not sure how to confront friend with anorexia in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

messybuu- Thanks for the advice. I hope your friend will be able to distance herself from the ED support group. Eating disorders are all about control, and the message these other girls give out are "Stay in control of this. We will be here to tell you how strong you are and remind you of your weight goal if you feel like giving up and eating." What is scary about peer ED support groups is that there is strength (of determination) in numbers. Not o

Not sure how to confront friend with anorexia in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I just found out recently (and accidentally) that a good friend of mine is a newly purging anorexic. I had no idea. We met two and a half years ago at college freshman orientation and became very close over freshman year. Since then, we have both transferred but still live within 20 minutes of each other. We call each other every once in a while to

What are your life goals and hopes in the remaining ten years of being alive, Marvin? I guess mine would be a combination of serving the greater good and intense hedonism (not to be confused with intense egoistic hedonism). Maybe chill with the Dalai Lama and David Bowie.

Reply to I never really heard of a good black doctor till now! in Misc JoeUser Forums

if you don't mind my asking, where are you from and how old are you? I recently overheard two white guys bitching about how Febuary was black history month and how it was racist and unneccessary. This post is an example of how it IS neccessary in many schools (I'm assuming that you live in a mostly white, fairly isolated community). Also, although I essentially agree with what people have posted, I have read far more ignorant rambl

Reply to Earliest Memory in Misc JoeUser Forums

Sorry for the hijacking. To answer your question, the earliest memory that I can summon without an external reminder would be when I was a toddler...half-crawling, half-running. Although I have selective memory with certain associations, I definitely still have gut-reactions to different things (as general and narrow as the word allows) that have had any sort of minute impact in developing my perspective on

Reply to Earliest Memory in Misc JoeUser Forums

People are often startled to hear me describe something that happened around me and how I was feeling when I was extremely young--particular my older brother, who is only three years older (I'm 21 now). I often associate memories not just with images, sounds, and smells, but also with emotions. I remember one New Years--

As far as assigning readings from the bible at colleges (I don't know about secondary education), it's not illegal...at least in Pennsylvania. Temple University, a state school in Philadelphia, requires all of its students to take two courses called Intellectual Heritage 51 and Intellectual Heritage 52. <br

I don't know what it is, but for some reason, I do not have the option of inviting others to join Gmail. I was first invited during the summer, and use it occasionally (not my primary account)...At first I thought that it was because I was a new member, but now, I don't understand why I can't invite others. Help me understand. Thanks.

The other night there were a few guys who were too tired and cold to ask people verbally so they just sat against the wall with a sign for food/blankets/money so I bought each a bowl of soup and a cup of coffee. When I returned with the bag and gave it to them, they looked positively shocked. Goes to show how many people pay any attention.

Reply to College Students are getting Smarter, Professors Beware! in Politics JoeUser Forums

Not smarter-- just products of a different environment that have become vocal ::shrug:: They have their right to challenge what they feel is offensive, but sometimes, the point of college is not to have the students memorize data, but to prepare them for what they decide to do /go after they graduate. People need to understand and deal with the fact that not everyone will agree with them on everything. For example, I think that it's a good idea
