Longs for video of the mentioned incident* I wish. Perhaps that'd give me a bit more self-confidence; a better body-image. Speaking of job fairs . . . anything interesting besides line dancing occur? </

There was a job fair at my college today. For some reason, someone on the faculty decided that it would be a good idea to have a DJ come along and set up a disco in the cafeteria. When I mosied down there on my lunch break I heard 'you're gonna boogie-oogie-oogie til you just can't boogie no more....' and saw a bunch of people line-dancing over on the dance floor that had been set up. I joined them. I couldn't resist it; it's been years since I went out dancing and I

Oh my. I didn't expect to see this when I woke up this morning! I never knew I made you cry. I'm sorry! Thank you for being YOU, Angela. And for giving me the opportunity to go buy adorable little baby girl outfits!

Please PLEASE please can I go with you? I'm short enough to fit into a suitcase and I've got plenty of body fat to use (and lose) on the trip over there! By the time I got there, I'd be 10 lbs lighter! Make it happen, B. Make it happen, and then stop by ST Louis on the way back and come and see me.

I have a test date for my pre-entry exam to nursing school. November 4th, at 9am. I'm going to start studying this weekend. They're not only looking at nursing aptitude, they're looking at general education too. So, I'm going to go get myself some books from the library and start refreshing my memory. It's been a looooong time since I graduated High School and I'm sure that I've forgotten some stuff! I've also been in contact with the Education office h

Good luck scrounging up some capital, it sucks major balls. I know. I would check with hospitals and see if you can get in as a CNA to raise some of the scratch I'm already in a CNA clas

I'm almost at the end of the classroom part of the course I'm taking. In a couple of weeks we'll be doing clinicals, and then, at the start of December...we'll be done. I've been thinking about what I want to do next. The nursing program at the college I currently attend is full until Fall of 2009, so that's out of the question. I just don't have that kind of time. So, I've been looking for alternitives. And, I've found one. There's another co

Mission accomplished. The person (people) who this article was written for/about have seen it. They know it's about them, and they know how I feel about them. Whether they'll stop lying remains to be seen. To those of you who think I'm talking about you: if the shoe fits, then you should wear it. I'm not going to remove or delete the article because I don't think that's necessary. I am, however, going to lock this thread for now.

My family had labelled me 'unlucky' when it comes to a few of the restaurants and fast food places around here. I never seem to get what I order. Ever. And, I always complain about it. For instance, the last time we went out to eat, I ordered a steak burger with portabello mushrooms and swiss cheese on it. I got a regular burger with american cheese and regular 'shrooms. I complained. The staff too my burger away, and bought me a 'different' one

Just out of curiosity, do you think that some people think they see through you too? Any of you JoeUsers are welcome to come visit me anytime and see for yourselves if what I write about actually happens and if I am who I say I am. Seriously.

It's not privileged It sorta kinda is, y'know. There are only two people who know, and each of them has been sworn to secrecy. I'll reveal who it's about when I think that the time is right. Until then...well y'all will have to keep guessing.

I have a pretty good 'gut' instinct. I know when someone isn't being totally truthful with me; when they're not all that they claim to be - and when they're fabricating things that they've done and places that they've been. I've had my eye on someone in my life for a while now. They started off small, with little white lies here and there, intermingled with truth so as to disguise them better. When people didn't notice - or didn't call them out on them - the lies got

I like the fact that when doing them toe up you can try them on as you go to ensure a good fit. I can do that with top-down socks. I try them on sporadically as they're being knitted to see how long I like them, how much of a turn I need to put in the heel, how long the foot should be. I know how long I need to make the toe, so I a

Although I've been knitting for 30 years, there's something I've never tried. Knitting socks from the toe up. Most of the sock patterns I have require that you start from the top and work your way down. Bascially, you cast on 60-ish stitches, join them together to form a round, and knit a tube. You separate your stitches for the heel and when you're done working that back and forth, you join the whole thing back together to form another tube and knit until your soc

We had a similar experience at the BX recently. There was a guy running a concessions stand that sold Ganesh T-shirts and statues, inscense....all kinds of Hindu, Buddhist and other bits and pieces. We stopped to browse and got talking to the guy, and somehow the conversation got around to Dave having bought me some things from the Middle East on a few of his numerous deployments there. "So, how d'ya feel about funding the terrorists and enemies of our country?" the conces

I'm sorry that you're having to deal with this, and whilst this probably isn't the best place to tell you this I can't let it go. It's 'phase', not 'faze'. phase n.

How'd I do? Holy. Fucking. Shit. You are right. About all of it. Everything. How'd you learn to do this? Is it all intuition? I think I'm going to keep a dream diary to see if there's some kind of common thread to all of them.

To this day I still have no idea what that loud voice said to me although I have always had the nagging feeling that it was somehow important. I've had dreams like that. It aggrivates the crap out of me to know that I've heard someone talking and know that it seemed important but not remember what they said! <TABLE cellpaddi
