I invited a guy over for Christmas, not quite because I wanted that (in hindsight) but because I know it's something he would like, and it gives him a place to stay overnight on his way back from a Christmas visit to a relative,...

PowerCookie It's solved itself. He's decided he does not need a place to stay overnight after all and also no longer has a problem with spending more time at the relative where he didn't want to spend more time before, and the plans he told me to make are no longer...

PowerCookie By the way, it's not just "inviting him over". It means that he doesn't have to go into a hotel. He was talking about how he would like to spend Christmas around an older relative, but didn't want to spend all Christmas there as he ends up getting a bit stuck...

PowerCookie I think he makes me feel drained because I feel being pushed into a role. The bubbly cheerful talker because that is what he likes. I often become bubbly cheerful and talkative when I don't know what to say (and, obviously, do not feel particularly close...

PowerCookie Yes, my own attitude changed, and my awareness of the fact that this guy tends to make me feel drained. (See above.) I suspect I should simply change my own attitude and look forward to Christmas instead. And it's not like he expects me to stand around...

PowerCookie I will keep that in mind. Though kind, he's not necessarily a gentle guy, and he is stubborn and can get impatient, but that does not make him a bad guy. I still have weeks to think about how to defuse or avoid any too tense or awkward situations. He has a...

PowerCookie The more I talk etc with him, the more I feel I have little in common with him. That in itself is not a reason not to let him stay. I do think he is expecting too much, yes, more than a friend helping out a friend. (See also the comment I posted a minute...

PowerCookie I live alone, in a very small apartment, and yes, I am a woman, but no, I don't have any faith. It is someone I met online, but many years ago, and I have met him several times and know other people who know him. I do trust him. And I too feel that...

PowerCookie Yes, I was considering just telling him that something else has come up (which I can explain very easily), but I was curious whether someone else might come up with another solution or mention something that I have not thought of yet. The thing is, the guy...

PowerCookie That may have changed, Mike, as I am new, but am allowed to rate. However, I am not allowed to paste anything, which is a hurdle in practical terms, when amending anything I am posting, for instance.

PowerCookie Hi Mohkanari, yes, that's more or less what I read on the CNN site, but CNN reporting on the events has been pretty limited. When there were riots here in the UK, with initially similar numbers of people arrested (is that true, that 700 were arrested), the...

PowerCookie Hi there. If you are only getting cents for your articles, is it really worth your while? That translates into a few cents per hour, depending on the article. Do you know how much a good writer makes? Is that just a few cents per hour too? (No!!) There are...

PowerCookie Thanks for that explanation. It sounds like that position was just as risky, in a way, as Forex trading itself.

PowerCookie Yes, your response was balanced and informative, and you mentioned the demo accounts. I do hear both of you saying that Forex trading is not for everyone, and very risky, and I appreciate that. I suspect that one problem can be that people are too greedy....

PowerCookie Hi Grace, could it be possible that you try too hard to be a good person, a good worker and a good lover, and hence do not really allow yourself to be unhappy about something for a little while and tell yourself you have to be stronger, be above it? If...
