Stay At Home Mom asked:


Really, is it really worth it to be mean to even one person just to buy a present or throw a Christmas Party. If you are going to be so stressed out, don’t buy the present and don’t throw or go to a party. Be nice! That is what this holiday season is all about. I am sick and tired of the mean people I encounter at this time of year!
The person the stressed out person is giving a gift to doesn’t want you to be stressed. I think the materialism of the holidays makes people stressed. Regardless of people’s situation, people may need to remember that the person they may snap at may have more problems than you have. So just be kind.

“There is no doubt that holidays are healing. When you are on vacation, the mind and body start to repair themselves from the stress and strain of everyday life. Taking a holiday is very good for what ails you.”

Consider the links between health and travel–can travel “cure what ails you”? Is the “travel bug” actually healthy? Does our fundamental well-being as humans actually DEPEND upon travel?

What do u think??help me give me some points.

thanks

Mary Mass asked:


why is it that the holiday’s are so stressing with the mere thought of getting together with family. Why? When everyone loves and want’s the best for each other. But behind the curtain everyone is dreading the holiday get to-gethers?

You see, the situation I have is, I work three jobs, and am very busy. I do what I can, around the house, including the cleaning, cooking, laundry, bill-paying, financing..and sometimes I think I’m losing my mind and need to just ‘get away from everyone’ - including my own children!!
Is it wrong for me to want to take a holiday without my family??? I feel bad that I even think this, but, over the course of 12 years, all my money and work and energy has been for the kids and hubby, and I feel like I am being smothered, and want to break free. I dont’ mean like, for good, but just for a while. I feel impatient, tired, restless, and eager to just find some quiet time, without ANYONE bothering me or asking me questions, etc…
I guess it would be a holiday from work, family and friends - because to some degree, they ALL bring on stress in my life….
So, is it wrong for me to want to get away from my family, and do something for ‘me’?? ((guilty))…

Topher asked:


Ok… so here is the background.

I have this friend that I really like. Her and I hang out probably once every two weeks. Normally when we hang it will be with another friend of ours and his girlfriend. So, me and her have never talked about a relationship between us other than that she had issues with a guy that tried jumping from her to one of her friends (bad idea) and how she hates when guy friends started asking her out after she had broken up with her ex in a long relationship (I didn’t know her than). And her & I “flirt joke” all the time.

The problem I have though is 1: she has no idea that I actually like her and 2: she thinks I like one of her other friends because the other friend we hang out with said something to her in front of me that I did… I didn’t deny or affirm it.

My plan is to say something in January, after the holidays and stress of family (& had a near death experience… makes u react), but I currently have a Christmas Card and gift… what should I write?

Ghost asked:


I’m doing my family tree recently and noticed a lot of people dying on or near holidays. My husband’s had relatives do the same thing. I had a friend whose mother KILLED herself, not just died, but KILLED HERSELF, on Valentine’s Day, which was another of her relative’s birthdays. So that kinda ruined it for them forever.

But why do people do that kind of thing? They don’t die on some random day unless they’re murdered or in some kind of accident. Isn’t that weird? It can’t just be stress on the heart causing it, like they die of a broken heart or coz another relative (in case of the elderly) is not there to share it with them, can they?

Like, I hope I die on some random day, but not by murder or an accident, but just as a result of living life to the fullest. And not near a holiday or birthday or anniversary, coz I don’t want anyone to feel bad on those special days.

I know this is odd and morbid, maybe a bit flippant or irreverent, but I don’t mean to be.

Angelj asked:


After working for 16 hours one day I over heard a family member of a resident saying the nurses were lazy because they did not answer her mother call light as soon as she pushed it. Within 16hrs her assigned nurse had went in that room at least 12 times spending long periods of time. This nurse was assigned 14 other residents, all of whom had to be seen in between going in to this one residents room. Was that fair to the other residents, hell no! But the residents daughter could care less about other people mothers and fathers, she wanted this nurse to be her mothers private nurse. I pulled this family member to my office and said that it was o.k. for her mother to be taken home that day because she had met her goals and I could get a discharge order from her MD. The daughter stated ” that is impossible, I can’t provide her the care she need at home.” I said sure you can, just go ask her what she need every 5mins and take her to the bathroom every 15min.& be there as soon as she call.
