Wow. After getting two degrees that were useless (math and biochemistry) I might not have learned that. So I needed to be told. Thanks.

Took a walk on the wild side in Internet JoeUser Forums

Let me start by saying that when I was young I was a goody two shoes. I never even got a detention. EVER. So when I got called to work in In School Suspension (ISS) today, I had NO clue as to what to expect. I was led down to a windowless room with five studens, some of whom I recognized from previous jobs. All were sitting silently (a requirement, as I later learned)

How important is HONESTY? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Just how honest should we be with the people we become emotionally involved with? I, by nature, am a compulsive sharer- I will put everything out on the table, good or bad. My friends accept the bad (whoof. At times it seems like a LOT of bad) and the good. the people that chose NOT to be my friends evidently saw something that they just couldn't stand. That's how it

Reply to US Foreign Policy has been beneficial overall in Politics JoeUser Forums

Once again, I'm astounded by Brad Wardell's insight into a matter that few have the guts to discuss with passion. Perhaps a few of those spewing the notion that the US is truly the world's bully are merely uninformed?

Where I lose my self respect...again in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I'm not called to work today and thus get to sleep in until 10. This WOULD be a good thing, except my car payments don't make themselves and I'm going to have to step up the tutoring in order to make up the difference. Fewer hours, yes (you would not believe what some tutors make), but a little less dependable. Oh well, at least it gives me time to clean up around her

I pretend to be enlightened, but we all know the truth in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

So I waited impatiently all Sunday for my adored boyfriend to call.....nothing. As my mood sunk with the sun, I began to question my quioxtic mission of waiting for nine months for a person who, let's face it, I didn't know all that well before we parted. Hearing my mother's "I told you so" in my mind, I went to bed, grumpy. At 10:30 p.m. the phone rings. Joy! It is t

Going Skiing in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Aaaaaahhhhhhh......6" of fresh powder on the trails. I've got to go to class today.......to SKI. life is good. Unless we're diagonalling all day and don't get to skate at all......hmmmm. Weather in Khost is 83 F and cloudy (like LA in the morning. Ugh). Didn't even know you could get Afghani weather on Wunderground.com. There's my something new for today, hmmm? Br

No one told me this would be so hard.... in Welcome JoeUser Forums

So here I am, a "twenty-something" with a college education and tons of energy. As everyone knows, going to college will guarantee you a bright future, right? Um......maybe in the early eighties. Two degrees and I'm just treading water until I can get into a Master's program that will prepare me for an underpaid job that I'll enjoy. At least my dog thinks I'm great.<!-- Ju-Anchor-F
