What does it mean if he leaves to run an errand without saying goodbye to you after you thought he was bringing you along?

There could have been a lot of reasons believe it or not. He may have not heard you or he simply forgot. Once I told my husband I was going with him for a walk with the dog. I raced to get my jacket and just saw him backing out of the driveway. I was stunned. When he got back he honestly hadn't heard me. Also, if you took too long to get ready he could have gotten angry and decided to leave without you before it was time to come back home. The best thing to do is ask him about it, and if you don't like his answer and he has no reason for what he has done, then you let him know loud and clear you aren't putting up with his "moods."

What is wrong if you're 20 years old and have constant numbness on the top of your head and can feel the top of your head pulsing?

It would be wrong to diagnose you here, but it sounds like a nerve problem. You should visit a Chiropractor, they specialize in spinal/nervous system and you may see some amazing results - I have worked for one and visited one for more than 10 years and see miracle cases all the time (it makes miracles seem common). The problem you are describing may have a lot to do with your neck being subluxated. Any problem in your neck will cause problems from the neck to the top of your head (headaches, vision problems, ear, nose, throat, ect). Find a good Chiropractor as soon as possible. A medical doctor will be tempted to do surgery to fix your problem or medicate you, try Chiropractic first. They will refer you out if it is not something they can help.

What causes someone to become a sociopath and does it make a difference if you had a mean mother and no father?

Doctors feel that this could be genetic (cannot prove this yet) or, that a person was raised in an environment where the people around them (mainly parents) didn't care about them and treated them poorly. One or both parents in many cases were either alcoholic or had drug related problems or abuse was present. This leaves the victim with a feeling of low self esteem, inner rage, and a "get even" attitude. Sociopaths are not all alike and they can vary in personality. Sociopaths have a disregard for the rights of others and a willingness to violate those rights. Sociopaths are often angry and their self-interest makes many of them arrogant. Despite this, some people with antisocial behavior disorder can appear charming or flattering. This charm is not sincere, however, the psychopath simply uses charm as a tool to manipulate people to achieve his or her own ends. Many victims come from a poor environment and still lead a relatively normal lifestyle so my bet is on genetics.

What is American slang term for 20.00?

Double sawbuck

[Sawbuck is slang for $10]

Not in America; I have never heard that used and I've lived in 7 states across the nation. In America $20.00 might be called "twenty bucks," "twenty big ones," or, if you're referring to the bill itself, "a twenty."

Another slang term for a $20 bill is a "Jackson" in reference to the man who is displayed on it. "Double sawbuck" is an antiquated term that has not been used for decades.
