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.

We here in Europe have some trouble figuring out what is going on with the #occupy protests in the US. What exactly is going on where, if anything? When there are protests in Iran, we hear so much about it, but now, it sometimes...

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 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 Thanks Fragilewings, for your answer. I think you are right, also with regard to people counting on gaining, but having trouble with the idea of losing. How come you only worked in this field for 4 months, if I may ask? It doesn't seem the kind of job that...

PowerCookie Hi Petersum, thanks for your response. Well, I am not going to go to the bank and buy one currency and then return it later when its rate has gone up sufficiently, but I guess that was not what you meant. ;-) So, literally, someone else does the trading for me...

PowerCookie Yeah, you are right, guys. I just did a quick search after I saw what you wrote and read that they're even ripening earlier and earlier, July even. The time's gone so fast, and the weather is hot, so it's hard to imagine it's already October. So, what's...

PowerCookie So do I when I can, forage that is, and I consider it great fun. I say "when I can" because I live in an urban area, but I have found great acorns here in the past, and I also often find wonderful mushrooms. And dandelion leaves are just terrific. There...
