What does it mean to dream about your dead sister?
Sometimes, when you see a deceased loved one in your dream it could be something that is bordering them (their soul) that they're trying to tell you. Such as how they feel, who/what killed them, why you should stop worrying, etc.And if your deceased loved one ever answers any of your questions in a dream, it has high probability of being true. Don't take it for granted.This will happen if you constantly think of them, mention their name or miss them a lot.
What makes ladies lose interest in a man that they once were interested in?
There are a number of things that will usually turn a woman off even when they were interested prior to the fact. Most of these revolve around: congruence.What do I mean by congruence: Are you what you appear to be?a) Women are inherently attracted to a man because of particular attributes or character traits of their personality. Confident, smart, humorous, funny, modest, humble, alpha, aggressive, successful, presentable. . . you name it.b) Women, are also inherently repelled by certain traits; desperate, needy, insecure, dishonest, pushover, showoff, egomania. . . you name it.Overtime, men have - mostly through old-school PUA (Pick-Up artist) conditioning and ‘Guru’ boot camp training or whatever - learnt to fake most of the traits in a), and simply appear to possess the traits that women find attractive, instead of actually taking the time and putting in the effort to become the kind of man women find attractive.Faking the traits in a) will help a man ‘attract’ the woman but pretenses usually don’t stick for long. The veil gradually wears off. Leaks in personality start to show. She makes a run for it.Women generally do not take well to being manipulated or to false pretenses. They do not appreciate ‘phonies’. This explains the ‘nice-guy’ paradox, but that’s a discussion for another day.Act cool and laid back, she’s interested. Later, punch the waiter straight in the nose for spilling your drink; not congruent.Pick her up in a friends ride, wearing fancy clothes, take her to a fancy restaurant for dinner; you bet, she’s interested. Return to your place later and it doesn’t quite match the ‘apparent’ status displayed thus far; not congruent.Act secure and non-needy, she’s interested. Take things wayyy too far the first time you make out; needy, not congruent. Not interested.Act confident and secure, she’s interested. Start a fight with a looser guy that’s hitting on her while you’re grabbing drinks, on your second date . . . well!P.S.

I just found out my younger brother smokes weed. What should I do?
The biggest danger of cannabis is the risk of arrest.I would like to challenge the assumption that cannabis use is inherently "bad" and "wrong." Most adults who use cannabis began in their teens. Many teens self-medicate for ADHD, anxiety or depression. I know many people who, from the time they were teenagers, found they simply functioned better with cannabis in their system.I know this contradicts 70 years of government propaganda, but it's true. Cannabis is certainly much less toxic or addictive than prescription drugs like Ritalin or Zoloft. A good friend was medicated throughout his childhood on every pharmaceutical out there until he began using cannabis. With cannabis, he was able to eliminate all the pharmaceuticals, boost his GPA from Cs and Ds to As and Bs, and also wipe out chronic migraine headaches in the process.Does your brother have other risk factors that indicate he has strayed from a healthy path? If he is skipping school and engaged in truancy, that's a bad sign. If he's maintaining his GPA, has healthy friendships and is generally as productive as any other 16-year-old, don't be so quick to assume his cannabis use is in and of itself necessarily bad.Like any drug, cannabis can certainly be abused. Sixteen is a little young to be self-medicating with anything. But the best solution is to encourage your brother to become educated about the appropriate use of cannabis and other drugs. By now, he already knows that cannabis has many benefits; any attempt at demonizing the plant is doomed to fail. You say your background is Indian. Indians have used cannabis as a medicinal and spiritual tonic for thousands of years, going back to the Vedas. Perhaps your own cultural history can offer some wise guidance.PeaceLove to you both,Jonathan--------------------Cannabis in India: http://www.psychologytoday.com/b...
If my husbands brother has downs syndrome, is there a chance my baby could have it?
To answer ur questions, the inheritance of genetic conditions depend on its type. for DOWN's syndrome, to understand simply consider that it can be mainly due to two causes. 1) first and the most common one is that when genetic makeup of both parents are completely fine. but during reproductive cycle, due to any reason, some error occur and child got downs syndrome. the most common cause is increase maternal age. this is the condition which happens in more than 90% cases, and if this is the case there is NO additional risk for ur child to have downs.and if u does have one, it would have nothing to do with ur husbands brother. if no one else in ur husband's family has downs this is most likely the case. 2)the second cause is when parents apparently are completely fine. but one of them has an underline genetic problem, which is not a problem to them but will transfer to their children. in medical and genetic terminology this is called "balance translocation". in this case, usually couple has a history of multiple abortions and/or could have more than 1 child with downs syndrome. but this cause of down's is not much common. even if this is the case, normally the normal sibling (that is ur husband) has a normal genetic make up and will have normal children. However, there is a chance, though very very slim, that ur husband has inherited the translocation and u may have a downs child. but this is very unlikely. so to summarize, there is a very very little additional risk of down's syndrome for ur child, most probably none. so go ahead. and if u are worried, there are tests available, one at 12th week and second at 16th week of pregnancy to check fetus for downs. but these tests are invasive and can cause abortion. at 20th week, downs can be detected by ultrasound too.which is quite safe. by this u can know before hand, and could decide accordingly. the risk of downs increase with age, better had ur children before 35 yrs of age.
Would you date someone less educated than you?
Straight to the point answer?No. Absolutely not!Education is a big deal in my family. All my family members are really educated, well read and respectable people. My dad is a cardiologist, my mom is a painter and I'm a medical student in the process of becoming a doctor. My uncle's are CA's, lawyers and bankers. Some are dual degree holders in law/management and CA. My cousins are studying to become doctors and lawyers. My grandmother is a Phd in Fine Arts!So you see,the first thing I see in a guy is how educated and well read he is. Also I like people who are well read and keep abreast about all the happenings around. For me education matters the most (of my own as well as that of my counterpart).So it's a no for me.A big no.PS: for all those who might judge me on the basis of this answer, let me tell you, if you are intelligent enough, in this day and time you also won't date someone less superior to you in terms of educational qualifications. I'm practical and straightforward.Can't beat around the bush.Some things are meant to be said directly. :)Edit: I read many answers to this question, and I would say that by education being equal I meant that even if my partner is an artist/ graduate in literature/engineer/or anything else for that matter, in that terms he should be equal to me. And I don't know what's the big deal in giving importance to education while choosing someone. Not necessarily saying the highly educated will be smart as well, but if someone has acquired that much education, they have to have some mettle in them.I'll give one example. A batchmate of my dad joined the WHO, in 2003. She had pursued her M.D. in SPM(social and preventative medicine). She married a doctor( a general physician). She continued to rise in terms of position at WHO over a period of years and her work required her to travel a lot. As expected, her husband's ego came in the way as he could not digest the fact that his wife was way more successful than him. Their marriage ended in a divorce 8 years later.Not saying this happens all the time, but this is what I've usually witnessed close to me. When there is a disparity in education/income, couples often(not always) tend to drift apart due to reasons best known to them.
Would it be okay to date your aunt's husband's niece? What's the relation, if any?
It’s not all that complicated — that “niece” person is no relation of yours.Here’s why, step by step:—Your father’s (or mother’s) sister is your aunt.Your aunt’s husband is your uncle (or pedantically, uncle-in-law).Your uncle-in-law’s niece is the daughter of his sibling.That niece and you are on the same generational level. It looks as if you two might be first cousins — but in reality, you two are unrelated because the only link (tenuous too) is via your uncle-in-law.That niece is only your uncle-in-law’s relative.The relatives of your in-laws are NOT your relatives.But it is a great way to prank and scare people like that with ideas of incest — whether it doesn’t apply.
How or where did you meet your spouse/partner?
We had an arranged marriage. My aunt and my MIL were best friends. I met my husband when when he came to India from Canada. My parents had met him when he visited India at age 18.My husband was only 21, his mom wanted him to marry me. She had already made up her mind, first time she saw me. My husband on the other hand wanted to see more girls. He had never seen me but he was rebelling against his parents. He was mad at his parents and told them, he didn’t want to see me. He would marry me if they wanted to. I was worried when I found out that he didn’t want to see me. I asked my cousin in law, who was the middle person, if there is anything wrong with him? She said, no, he’s really nice and you would make a nice couple.I didn’t want to marry a man who didn’t want to marry me for him but for his parents. Then we met, agreed and got married. I was 19, he was 21. My mother in law wanted me to wear those kaliyan (flowers in my hair) She thought I was Rekha. :) Rekha is her favorite actor.This picture was taken at my husband’s uncle’s home.I was painfully shy…This is our family..Edit: I wanted to share with those who are wondering about people in an arranged marriage.We were driving home from Costco today. My husband said, I am so grateful I married you. I know it was meant to be. I was such an ass when I was younger. I am glad you stuck around. :) This wasn’t the first time he has told me. He has been telling me this for 30 years.
