The AC stopped working suddenly, i saw the compressor was working whenever i turned the ac on but no cold air comes put the vents. i also noticed the high pressure pipe starts to freeze when i turn it on. i suspect the dryer is sending it back but what would cause this? is there a way to fix it without changing the dryer?

I’ve been resentful of a lot of things in my life. I went to the wrong high school when I should have gone to the school my friends went to. My parents pressured me so much that I couldn’t make a decision. I went to high school and made new friends but I wanted to go to the school my friends went to. I went and spoke to the principal of the other school but my parents never did anything. And so I finished and tried to move on in college and tried my very best to erase the bad years which when I look back wouldn’t have happened if I had gone to the school my friends were at. During the years in college, I worked hard to better myself, became a camp counsellor, became close with my old friends again. I reconnected with my friends, there was ball hockey, clubs, movies, catching up over a brew etc. But in spite of all the accolades I achieve it couldn’t erase all that had come before. I tried to make peace with myself but it was hard.

Eventually things became stable, though I couldn’t help the feeling that I was pursuing the wrong career path. Eventually down the rode I went to see a social worker who refered me to a psychiatrist. I was uncomfortable seeing the psychiatrist. And after 2 appointments realized that I would be really uncomfortable seeing this guy. This was at a period of my life where I was having some trouble making decisions. And so the social worker convinced me to still see him. I sometimes hate myself for buying into his nonsense. I also felt that he gave bad advice and should have realized that if this was someone who I would see on an ongoing basis then I should be somewhat comfortable seeing this person.

And so it didn’t work out too well and some time elapsed. Then my uncle died and things became grim for a while. Some months passed and sometimes I would get resentful for the little things like if my folks were going away for the day they would invite me but never ask me if i was coming. I would say that I would tell them but assumed they would ask me. And they would end up living the next day and I would be resentful over the lack of communication that happened or misinterpretation.

And then I had an encounter with the police where I was thought to have been a pedaphile but was just somebody who liked going to the park a lot so I could read my book and figure out what I would do with my life because I was really usure and afraid of the future. Career and dreams of achieving great ambitions were on my mind but I was afraid and concerned that I may change my mind halfway through like i did with my other career path.

Of course I was curtious with the police and co-operated but I’ve been blamed a lot in my life for the wrong things and at times I’d get upset that everytime I try to do the right thing I get in trouble for it.

I apologize but I needed to discuss this and was wondering if anybody had any opinions they would like to share.

I would like to thank everybody for taking the time to read this.
To Zaphod_Beeblebrox, it’s not about getting over it, I’m really confused about things and with all due respect I was never saying that my problems were bigger then anybody elses. I simply needed to talk. It’s sometimes difficult not to dwell on the past, especially when you’re unsure of your future. I’ll admit I am lucky to have a home and a family but these are times of confusion for me. I’m sure that there are those who may not understand but can at least relate to some of the times I am saying.

For what it’s worth i’m sorry you had such trying times but I like anybody else felt the need to share my feelings with the yahoo community.

Regardless, I think there are some good points you made and it sounds like you have made it through and with high hopes are doing ok.

Hi ppl..
I came down with some type of flu i believe. I have a typical nasal drip, plugged ears, and a cough…I don’t have a sore throat or a fever but i have a lot of muscle cramping especially in my neck region…I also have a very high pressure headache and i feel spaced out…

Do you think this sounds concerning or i should just wait it out and hope that it will pass with lots of rest and fluids?

Thanx for the input

My shin was severely bruised during an intense game of wiffle ball over Memorial Day weekend. The batter slid in to first and in turn kicked me in the shin w/ his heel. My shin was instantly bright purple and the welt was a good inch high. Initially we thought my leg might be broken because I couldn’t put any pressure on it for several hours without intense pain. After elevating and icing continuously all night the welt subsided a bit so I did not go to a doctor. Now, four months later, my shin is still bruised, although not painful anymore.
Is is normal for a bruise to last this long? Should I still get it checked out by a doctor?

My hair has always been really soft. I do use conditioner regularly. So, I’ve come back to school. The water here at school is city water, and at home it’s well water. Also, here at school, the pressure is really high in the shower and the water is also a lot hotter than I’m used to at home. I don’t know if this could have anything to do with why my hair is so dry. I’ve started using like almost a golf ball sized amount of conditioner and I leave it in for well over 5 minutes, but my hair is still so dry. It’s really bugging me. It also seems like I’m shedding more hair every day than I used to. That’s really bothering me. What’s up with my hair and what can I do about it?
When I say I’m at school, I mean I’m at college. I’m not showering in a locker room somewhere, it’s where I live when at school.

I delivered my first born about a month early by emergency cearian section due to toxemia/pre eclamsia…and…I’m about 7 weeks pregnant again. My question I suppose is how likely is it that this will happen again? Am I proned to having complications all over again? I don’t have half the stress I did with the first baby, I have more. My blood pressure was fine after I had my first born, and I’m kind of worried about getting put on bedrest cuz I’m a single mom and have nobody to take my daughter. Yeah, I should have thought about that before I got knocked up again. I’ve already gotten the 9th degree from other friends. Blah.
Anyway, was just wondering.

i’m 15 and when im just sitting or laying down i can feel my heart beat kinda hard (it makes my hand move every time it beats if i hold it in the air and like when i cross my legs it makes my leg move up and down, kind of embarassing during school) and i checked my pulse and its normal, about 85-90 bpm. i’ve had pretty hard practices 5 days a week and i get nervous in front of a crowd during a game. my parents have high blood pressure but as far as i know i dont. i dont really have much caffeine in a week. does this mean my hearts working too hard or does it mean its just very healthy? is it something to be worried about? thanks!
no medication but seasonal allergy meds
oh and im 5′5 and weigh about 115-117lbs.

blood pressure was 228/98-This happened on labor day - she does take a lot of pills and checks them off each day - we know she took it.
Her dementia isnt that bad - thank goodness-while at the Mayo hospital for 7 hours they checked her heart/lungs/oxygen/blood etc., and found NOTHING wrong. That was 5 days ago and her blood pressure is sky high again and she went to bed - does anyone have any ideas as to whats making her BP go up so high and for no apparent reason????????????? I am extremely worried.
Thank you in advance

Communism is revolutionary socialism, that’s all. Other forms of socialism believe reforms can eventually lead to socialism or even that capitalism can be corrected to have humane results. What all reformist movements share however is that they inevitably slide to the right over time. Even UK’s labour is supposed to be a socialist party.

The only true, realistic socialism is communism which has nothing to do with stalinism or the Soviet regimes. Most socialist who reject communism do so because they regrettably identify it with Stalinsim, the antithesis of Marxism

The 20th century saw no shortage of revolutionary struggles. In the end, however, the international workers movement was unable to overthrow world capitalism. It has long been fashionable among ex-radicals and incurable skeptics to blame the defeats suffered by the working class on the working class itself, and use them to assert that the Marxist conception of the revolutionary role of proletariat is fundamentally flawed.

The Trotskyist movement has always insisted on examining the role of leaders, political parties and programs when investigating the cause of missed opportunities and defeats. An examination from this standpoint reveals that time and again the revolutionary strivings of the working class were blocked by political movements that in one form or another capitulated to the capitalist status quo. The only basis for preventing the repetition of past defeats and setbacks and preparing for future victories is to draw the lessons of these experiences and evaluate the political role of various leaders, parties, trade unions, etc. That is why we take seriously the record of different political tendencies and the role they have played in the class struggle.

Time and again opportunists have defended their betrayal of principles by claiming to be realistic politicians, not guided by “inflexible” dogmas and who understand how to adapt their practice to the requirements of any given situation. Time and again, such “realistic” politics have led to disaster - precisely because they were based on superficial, impressionistic, non-Marxist and, consequently, unrealistic and false appraisals of objective conditions and the dynamics of the class struggle.

But opportunism is not merely the product of an intellectual and theoretical error. It has substantial socio-economic roots in capitalist society, and develops within the workers’ movement as an expression of the pressure of hostile class forces. All significant manifestations of opportunism - from that of Bernstein, which arose within the German Social Democracy at the end of the 19th century, and that of Stalin, which grew inside the Bolshevik Party in the 1920s, to that of Pablo and Mandel, which developed in the early 1950s inside the Fourth International, and, finally, to the opportunism of the British Workers Revolutionary Party that led to its break from the ICFI in the mid-1980s - can be traced to the influence exerted by bourgeois and petty-bourgeois social forces upon the working class. This is the underlying cause and significance of revisionism and opportunist politics. The struggle against such tendencies is not a distraction from party building, but, rather, the highest point at which the fight for Marxism in the working class is engaged.

The Socialist Equality Party, in political solidarity with the ICFI, defends the classical Marxist conception - developed systematically by Lenin in the construction of the Bolshevik Party and carried forward by Trotsky in the struggle to found and build the Fourth International - that revolutionary socialist consciousness does not develop spontaneously in the working class. Socialist consciousness requires scientific insight into the laws of historical development and the capitalist mode of production. This knowledge and understanding must be introduced into the working class, and this is the principal task of the Marxist movement. This was precisely the point that Lenin emphasized in What Is To Be Done? when he wrote: “Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.” Apart from the efforts of the revolutionary party to introduce Marxist theory into the workers’ movement, the predominant form of mass working class consciousness will remain at the level of trade unionism, defined by Lenin as the “bourgeois consciousness” of the working class. Denigration of the struggle for revolutionary consciousness, which is usually combined with demagogic attacks on intellectual and Marxist “elitism,” is the stock-in-trade of reactionary academics and political opportunists.
