I have a lot to talk about, but when I get there I completely forget what to talk about! So what topics/subjects should we talk about? Something to keep a conversation going.

If the other person said to you “I am starting to get addicted to you” in the midst of conversation, how would you interpret that?

Do you think that it is more of a sexual addiction, as in, I must constantly have sex with you I think it’s fantastic. Or more of a romantic kind of thing?

He’s been on heroin for 3 yrs now. He came forward a year ago and wanted help so did cold turkey. He was clean for 3 months and started using again behind everyone’s back. We got married thinking he is clean. He pawned almost everything in our house, jewelry, laptop, brand new xbox, dvd player, brand new 52″ tv and he was on the run for two days. He finally came home and I found out he even sold his mercedes radio and navigation system. I am torn apart. I have nothing left inside of me. He wants help and will be going to rehab and tells me he loves me and will fix everything. He is currently staying at his parents house. I need advice on what to do. I know I deserve better but I love and care about him a lot but suffered way too much to forgive him. Help!!!!!!

My parents beg me to stay away from him and to forget him and move on with my life.

I thought of this because it seems like one of those noble and rewarding careers…and not a desk job either. While being a strength coach might be more exciting than working with disabled people, the later would be deem more benificial for the world.
    Most important…i’m now seeing that OT is becoming like PT and they both are having students get a Master’s Degree (is this mandatory?). And that is not up my alley at all. I want to see what my opportunities are with a Bachelor’s degree only. I suppose i could be an “assistant” whatever that means.
    Do i have to be in a “OT program”..like kinesiology isn’t enough?
