'I've heard all my life that you either get Algebra or Geometry. I can't say why that is. Apologies, I was good with Calculus. It was Trig and Geometry, gaaaah! Beat them with sticks!|||I don't, but I've known people who have. I've always just kind of assumed that they expect to be in there for a little while? Maybe the pipes are clogged? Now, I will grab a book and hop in the tub,...|||Donuts, Italian Nachos (from Zio's) and hot chocolate with as many marshmallows as I can stuff in the mug.|||Hmm, for me, my best were always Biology and English. Pretty good at Algebra too, but Geometry/Calculus? Kill it with fire! History and Humanities courses comprised a lot of my later education :) Did...|||I think that with in all things in life, you'll find situations where you stand up for yourself or you just bite your tongue and bearing it. It depends on a lot - the situation, the players, what's...|||Also voted middle with a little bit of an addendum :) I was my mother's first, but my father's third, so I have two older brothers but only one was raised with us. I have one younger sister.|||I think what IdealismGalore is trying to say is just ignore it. Doesn't matter how they look at you, it doesn't make you strange or different. If they have a problem, it's theirs and not yours to...|||IamOrangeToday is right. If you need to, step back from the situation. She's obviously going through some incredibly unhealthy (and illegal) things right now. Talk to an adult, whether it be your...|||Awesome article! It sounds like the Danver's hospital I'd mentioned before :) At the start, at least. Danvers eventually got extremely overcrowded, their farm went to ruin and the focus moved to just...|||Aww, I like to read, personally. Or stare at the window at the ground. Of course, somehow, that usually attracts the attention of a chatty neighbor, but that's alright :)|||lol! I'm bad about remembering, too. I'll be mid-sentence and forget. I'm teased pretty badly at work for it. I think ADHD was the catch-all back then. It's autism now. It's really, really crazy.|||When I'm asked to professionally make a judgement as far as a child's behaviors, I look entirely at control. Yes, she's daydreaming, but can she pay attention for any length of time if she's...|||There are some Indian dishes that are really good that could probably be made without meat. I'm thinking Biryani rice. Then again, I don't tolerate a whole ton of spice so I'm not sure if it would...|||I've had a gray hair ever since I was in my mid-teens, but it was just one. So every time it got big enough, somebody inevitably would tug it out. At about 25 I noticed more popping up and I'm...|||What I see with ADD/ADHD diagnosis, more often than not, is a parent running to a doctor and actually shilling for that label. And doctors that will (going on parent survey alone) go for it. I sat in...|||That's nuts! One of them is even fairly near me. Now I am intrigued and I am about to have an excess of free time and lack of anything really fun to do. If you're familiar with Livejournal, there's a...|||At the same time, though, I wonder how much time could be devoted to those kinds of pursuits. For much of that time, survival or tending farms probably consumed most time. That said, I share in your...|||It depends. I've seen some wonderfully written books that I'll read cover to cover with a lukewarm story. Then again, there are some very poorly written stories that I've read cover to cover that...|||jd_ has a pretty good take on that. I'll give it a few chapters and if I'm not drawn in, I call it a wash and move on to something else. If it's really, really bad and the writing style and story...|||I really don't think it's possible to be too nice :) Especially online or on a forum like this. It's always good to see people who are very supportive and genuinely helpful. You don't see too much of...|||I really, really hate to say it, but if you're the 'nice guy' at work all the time, you will get trampled on. Don't know how, don't know why. People will take advantage, they might say things or...|||Gonna go out on a limb and say you're with AT&T? Have you contacted them about any upgrade services that you might have? They could probably point you toward free or low cost options.|||I think mine is mostly genetic, but I spent a lot of time with the books. I went into glasses at 7 or 8. By 13 I was in contacts. Nearsighted in one eye with an astigmatism in the other. Simply can't...|||Are there any particular styles you were going for? I live rather near the US border with Mexico, so I think what I'm thinking of is probably a lot more traditional than what you're looking for. I'm...|||Would it be possible to just take the basics until it's time to choose a career path? Think about those things that you like or enjoy doing. Do you like cars? Computers? Maybe Auto-CAD or drafting?...|||If you're completely new to writing outside of an academic setting, I'd highly suggest starting a personal journal. I'm also in agreement with Inle. If you really want to write, you pretty much just...|||I'm kind of partial to the immortal words of Wil Wheaton: Don't be a dick. I find it's a mostly decent philosophy to live by. There are probably some other caveats in there about hugging more...|||I was intrigued, so I went to go see. It looks like most of the time stamps are pretty old in there, so I'd guess there either aren't many or they're swarming other forums. As for your post, I'd...|||This is Not the Book You Were Looking For|||I think what really sticks out is the 'forever family' striking a chord along the lines of forever home. It does seem kind of dehumanizing, but I don't think it's necessarily the message's intent. I...|||bombsaway, is there a way to run Safari in compatibility mode? I'm thinking that the site is optimized for an older version of Internet Explorer, which is why the cursor jumps around in other...|||I've kind of come to peace with my socially awkward. I'm pretty quiet until engaged if I'm in a completely new situation, even if I'm with someone I know. We went to a convention with one of my...|||Oh man! Yeah, they definitely would! It's kind of crazy considering that school is now supposed to be kids' 'safe' environment. We didn't get any physical punishment from the teachers. Just had a few...|||I recognize both of you :) I can't say I've been here forever, but I've seen your posts and know your avvies and names. This is such a large community, I see so many people in the different...|||Oooh youngest staffer, huh? I had that distinction for pretty much the last seven years at work. I really can't complain. I have two co-teachers with me, so we've got it a lot easier than most...|||*coughcough* Biiiig bottle of Downy Wrinkle Releaser.  Super-sleepy today and for some reason, everybody and their dog wants to go out. Fortunately (or un), it has to happen. I must go to the...|||I see what you're saying, and then I see Calvin and Hobbes making faces at me. I can't help but ask myself, what would Spaceman Spiff do?|||It never hurts to be thrifty. When I moved out (along with pretty much everybody else I know), I had the inclination to buy a lot of decoration and fluff to make my apartment cute and comfortable. It...|||I have encountered a lot of smooth talkers in my life, but in the end, it's just that. It's all talk. Out of curiosity, why do you feel trapped by it? When I encounter it, I usually walk away. Or if...|||I agree with BrownJaquan. At the same time, if you are dead set on meeting (or any offline first-time meeting for that matter), be SURE you meet in a public place. And I'm not talking about a mall at...|||Pre-Kinder :D So full of innocence and awesome at that age. Oh, I bet! None of the other teachers are able to handle the doe-eyes. They refer to them as the little people and if they see one of...|||I dated an ENFP for awhile. It was a lot of fun. There was something there that just clicked. Unfortunately he wanted way more than I did and way too fast and I think we both realized it. I kind of...|||Awww! lol I LOVE the little ones! Have you run into the My shoes run fast phenomenon?  At the beginning of this year, I was taking my group into the cafeteria for lunch and one of my boys stopped...|||Thanks ;D There's a little troubleshooting in me yet!|||I'm not entirely certain, but I do believe so :)|||Aha, just wondering :) Knowing our browsers may help them address the issue. I just tested it out in Internet Explorer 10. In 10, if you click one of the text editing buttons, it will not let you...|||I've noticed this when posting in italics. I haven't tried any of the other special formatting. What browsers do you all use, out of curiosity? I'm on Chrome. I haven't tried Internet Explorer, so I...|||Man, they get you sometimes. I had some a couple of years ago who had taken to somewhat sassy language.  Kid A: B just said 'so!' Me: It's alright. So isn't a bad word. It's not always a polite...|||Shenanigans. I love it. Bamboozle, dapper, debonair, and one that I've recently discovered... groak. Which is hardly an appealing sounding word, it's mostly the meaning - to watch someone eat...|||With all of the physical symptoms, definitely visit your psychiatrist. See if s/he or someone you trust can recommend a good counselor. Sometimes it helps just to talk it out with a neutral party,...'
