HELP WITH A TED KOOSER POEM! I feel like there is more to this poem, can someone please give some insight?
Kooser starts with a really extreme metaphor: the spiral binding of his notebook is like a porpoise looping in and out of surf. He is making fun of the sort of poem which says excessively 'clever' things just for the sake of being clever. (I'm sure you know such poems; examiners are excessively fond of them). Then Kooser says you could use the notebook to hold 'a record of dreams', then continues 'though it seems to be meant for/ more serious work'. Now Kooser is making fun of the sort of pomposity which thinks it can decide what is 'serious' (5 SUBJECT NOTEBOOK) and what isn't serious (dreams). The world is full of pundits who will tell you what 'matters' and what 'is less important'. Our schools have plenty of such folk, though they are even commoner in churches, or one Fox News. But perhaps you can't make something IMPORTANT just by PUTTING IT IN CAPITAL LETTERS. Capitalisation is a trick the poem also uses, but it uses it to make us question how valid this technique is. (Taking a well known, but bogus, technique; then using it incompetently in order to show how dubious it is - which is what Kooser does with CAPITALISATION here - is an advanced literary technique sometimes called alienation, sometimes called defamiliarisation, sometimes called Verfremdungseffekt. Watch for it in other poems, plays, paintings you come across). So Kooser has suggested we shouldn't put up with folk who offer us exorbitant, over-clever, metaphors (the porpoise), nor folk who tell us that THE IMPORTANT STUFF IS INDICATED WITH CAPITAL LETTERS. It's just a notebook, you can buy it in a stationers. Perhaps this is the true message: things are what they are. Get hold of the mystery of reality (as if it were some kind of wonder) and forget all these bogus 'truths' that poems, and schools, and churches, and self-help gurus snow you with.
When I pee I feel like there's more in there...?
I feel like there is a pressure and that there's a few more drops in there. You know, when you have just another "squirt", for lack of better terms. But it takes a while to get out. Do I have a UTI? If so, how do I fix that? Thank you in advance.
Don't you think there is more to life than what we see and feel?
About 68% of the universe is dark energy. Another 27% is dark matter. Both of these are things that we can’t feel or see (without incredible instrumentation), not to mention comprehend. Unless we evolve or use some extremely advanced technology, we are bling to a bit over 95% of everything that there is.Humans only use about 3 color receptors in their eyes. They correspond to the primary colors: red, yellow, blue. Every color we see is a combination of these. The mantis shrimp has 12 color receptors. We can’t even begin to imagine what type of colors these animals can see. I mean, can you imagine a new color? We are blind to most of the spectrum of light.We are surrounded by billions of planets, stars, galaxies, yet we can’t see what’s going on in most of these places. So much mystery and excitement in our Universe. We have yet to see and feel basically everything that there is in the cosmos. There are more galaxies than grains of sand in our planet, and each of them with their billions of stars, and each star with a few planets!But before you feel small and tiny, we are hosts of the universe within us, composed of billions of microorganisms, cells, and simple structures that will never know that there is anything outside of our skin. We don’t see or feel them, although sometimes we do have bacteria and viruses that make us feel the effects of their actions…Most of the animals in our planet have not yet been discovered. We have some land and most of the ocean (largest portion of our earth), no to mention anything that may live within the crust. National Geographic says that we are about 14% of the way done, meaning that we have yet to find 86% of our species. We’ve barely seen anything.We can’t see or feel the future or what it holds, but I have high hopes that it is full of adventure, discovery, and awe.In short, there is much more to life than what we see and feel, and its up to us to uncover the secrets that will bring about those experiences.
Why after pooping I feel like there is more left but when I push nothing comes out?
As Tasha’s answer said, you may be constipated. Poop should be solid, but not hard, and “logs” basically.If you decide to take a stool softener, try something more natural. Never take a stimulant laxative. Try metamucil or even epsom salts. Yes, you heard me right- Epsom Salts. However, Epsom Salts are strong, and not good for people who need low-magnesium or sodium diets- in general, they are a last resort, if you’ve nothing else on hand and no money and/or insurance.Metamucil is very good, and is more natural.Things like prune juice, and other natural foods or drinks with natural fiber are best, if that is enough to do the trick.You should have a healthy poop at least once, or even twice a day- if you eat 3 meals, or even two decent ones.Fiber is key. Eat fruits and especially green vegetables!Happy “Constitutionals”. ;)*EDIT: I need to add that many medications can cause constipation, amongst other things more serious such as health problems. At any rate, you should be pooping as described at the very least, once a day. If the symptoms do not go away after eating more fiber- then within a few days you really need to talk to your doctor.
Why I can feel the layer of dead skin over my lips?
A few days ago I woke up and my lips felt weird. I thought they were chapped but I touched them and the were fine. Right now there's tiny strips of skin peeling from the bottom but not much else. It feels like there's skin over my lips that won't peel off and it makes my lips feel kinda sore. I've tried different kinds of moisturizers and such(Vaseline, My Favorite Lip Gloss[Bed, Bath, & Beyond], Neutrogena Lip Soother) but nothing is really working it makes them peel more. It might be that I'm not using Burt's Bee's anymore but that wasn't the only thing I used. So has anyone had something like this before and how do I fix it? TL;DR My lips feel like they're dead and nothing is working. Can anyone help?
What does an orgasm suppose to feel like?
No worries, it is not pee, but reaching an orgasm may feel like having to pee. However, you should "bite through" that feeling, and then you will reach your orgasm, and perhaps even ejaculate. Try this and see if you like it, it will help you know the feeling, and learn to know your body: Make yourself very very comfortable, take a hot bath or something, then go to your bed, or other nice place. Start massaging yourself, stimulate your clit. you can already reach an orgasm this way. If you want to, please do, after that, insert your finger, and inside your vagina, curl it upwards, so that the top of your finger pushed upwards in your belly. Feel around a bit there, and you will find your g-spot. Stimulate this spot until you feel like you have to pee. Never mind that feeling, and just continue. The orgasm you will reach then (especially if it is your second), will be much intenser, and can even cause you to ejaculate. If you want to go even further, then use the moist from your vagina, and stroke the small place between your vagina and anus (perineum). If you dare trying this, most women enjoy this really alot, once they put aside their fears for it: stroke your wet finger around your anus, going more and more towards the middle. Then, when you feel like it is the right time, gently push it in. Very gently, very slowly, very carefully. If you feel like it, you can combine it with vaginal or clitoral stimulation for extreme pleasure. You should try to get past the peeing feeling. I know you are afraid, and are holding it all up, because you do not want to pee at that time. But you should just relax, go with the flow, totally relax, and play. Then, you will come, and ejaculate. It will perhaps even feel like peeing, and fluids will come, but it is not pee, I promise you! And most of all, you will have had an orgams that you will never again forget... I noticed btw that ejaculation orgasms are seldom the first, first is a normal orgasm, then slow down a bit, but do not stop, and gradually increase stimulation, then you will reach a "higher" orgasm.
Does anyone else feel there is more to life than this?
So to start things of am not depressed, am happier than ave ever been. Compared to last year a was in a job a hated with a boss who treated me like ****. But now am really happy am doing something a love. Although do you ever get the feeling that there is something just now right? Like you belong somewhere else or there is something inside you that just doesn't feel right? And you ask yourself is this the life am supposed to be living? or is this is it? A really do love what am doing a just feel sometimes that there is something just not right. The annoying thing is a don't know what it is. Its like am a question without the question mark beside me, saying who I am or where am supposed to be. Am 20 years old ,got a loving family, no children no ties am at university got good flatmates, passing my course. so what is this thing inside me? why can't I be content? Also does anyone else feel like this? further more there is so many people who say a look lost, one person said am waiting for something, what could it be?
I feel like I have to take a shit but when I go to the toilet, nothing comes out. What am I supposed to do?
Miralax (or the store brand equivalent) works wonders. It won’t help that day, but you should be able to dominate one the next day.If Miralax doesn’t help, there’s a colonoscopy prep called “GoLYTELY”. It’s behind the counter at the pharmacy; you just have to ask for it. That name is bullshit. Call into work for about 2 days, and be ready to sleep in the bathroom. When it hits, IT HITS. Hardcore. My husband had a bowel obstruction. The doctors were about to do surgery, when an old Cajun nurse slipped in our room with a big bottle of this stuff (about a gallon), and just said “Honey, start drinking. As much, as fast as you can. You won’t be going to surgery, I promise.”Jesus, was she right. We finally had to unhook all his monitors and let him drag his IV to the bathroom. She gave him bag after bag of fluids. No surgery the next day. Clean as a whistle.If neither of those work, you may have a serious blockage of some kind. Time to head to the ER. Lack of bowel movement can make you extremely ill if you let it go.
Why do I always feel more poop after i'm finished?
Hello, EVERY TIME I'm about to finish pooping, I feel like there is one last piece that needs to come out but just doesn't, no matter how hard I've pushed. I am not constipated because my pooping starts out fine and it comes out easily. Additionally, this is first occurred a couple years ago. I am 13 years old boy and I DO NOT want to visit the doctor or buy any product because I am too young and I would be very embarrassed. This issue really takes away my day and I just need to help by anybody who has experienced this... PLEASE HELP. Anybody!
