    Has anyone done online courses through Penn Foster?

    Weekend job ideas?

    I usually go to the college worship on Thursday evenings because I don't make it to Sunday morning worship. I would love a day off, but then the bills pile up even faster...

    Weekend job ideas?

    So I've been working 3rd shift full time at a hotel (so I could study at work when I was also in school full time). It nearly killed me, literally. Recently (since I'm not taking classes fall semester) I went back to my old job at a vet when a full time position opened up, and I'm now working...

    Sleep

    I rarely wear socks to bed, only when it's wintertime and cold. I like to keep the room pretty cold so I can crank up my electric blanket and snuggle with my kitty and pup. I don't sleep very well and I toss and turn a lot so sometimes I wake up 90 or 180 degrees from where I started (glad I...

    dating outside your race

    I never have and not sure I would. Not really opposed to it, I just don't think we'd have enough in common. Having said that I doubt any "interracial" relationship could withstand the pressures it would have from my family. My parents and grandparents grew up in small southern (and almost all...

    Something No One Really Know's About You

    2 things only a couple of people on earth know about me: 1. I nearly skipped two grades in school, graduated high school as valedictorian, and totally bombed in college (kind of a gradual disaster that climaxed this past year). Over 4 years since high school and I'm still at the same school...

    So like, I know you are my friend and all, but I kinda like you...

    This has happened to me several times for some reason. At some point, most of my closest guy friends have told me they want to be more than friends. It's awkward for a little while, but I usually brush it off and stay friends, usually with a little more distance depending on the guys. I can...

    Anyone ever volunteered for big sister/brother?

    Has anyone ever volunteered for big sister/brother or something similar? I'm about to apply. I want/need to make a difference in someone's life. As much for myself as for them, to put things in perspective and make me feel at least somewhat useful.

    Run, Forrest, Run!

    I started running a couple of weeks ago, to get in shape and hopefully participate in some marathons/races. I am so out of shape I could only run for a couple of minutes at a time the first few tries. I'm at ten mins, walk 2 mins, run ten mins now, but I keep getting horrible shin splits. I...

    My debit card was lost/stolen...

    The last place I remember having it is cvs yesterday. It's weird cause I never lose my cards, and I still have my cvs card which I used with it. I noticed it was missing from my purse last night and I checked online. Sure enough, somebody had payed their cellphone bill with it (kind of dumb...
