Who are the REAL demons behind the Watchtower?
by Dogpatch ini apologize for not writing much of anything in several weeks.. did you miss me?
(don't answer that!).
i am doing pretty good now after going through the worst year of my 60 years of life... but in order to make some changes that will enable me to keep working, i really had to take time off to take care of medical issues (mostly my spine - destroyed after 30 years spending 10-12 hours a day on the computer).

A liberal Mormon woman would believe in an open marraige, sharing her house with many other wives? Your son hit the jackpot!

p.s. I want to move WEst, but I am afraid my kids will marry a Mormon. So, I bad talk all religions on a regular basis adn make sure to point out the nutty ones....including Mormon underwear. You better start learning about how wierd the Mormon's are; and how he will be expected to convert and cool his relationship with non-Mormon. Actually, you better use Steve Hassan methods on her (and him). Anyhow, take him out places where he could meet other eligible ladies too.

Best wishes. Hope the nursing professors are nice.
1. Work on Your Time Management
Important things to work toward include:- Being prepared for exams
- Ensuring papers and projects are completed on time
- You aren't late for clinicals (ever!) or class
- You have time for things that aren't nursing school related
2. Be Willing To Learn & Be Realistic
Consistent good grade are great for the ego, but not always possible, particularly among nursing students. The vast amount of information you learn covers everything from basic biology to in-depth social and ethical issues. Be realistic about what you'll be able to achieve.
3. Invest In a Good Calender/Organizer
Some people prefer paper agendas while others work best with technical toys. Choose what works for you, and use it consistently. Note all important dates including:- Exams
- Papers (when to start, timeline, due date)
- Clinicals
- Appointments
- Study times
- Relaxation and fun time
4. Buy A Good NCLEX Study Textbook
When asked for nursing school tips, some graduates suggest first-year students buy the latest NCLEX study text. The study materials can help you learn the question style and presentation. This prep can give you a head start so that when it comes time to study for the actual exam, you'll know what to expect.
5. Don't Be Afraid To Ask Questions or Ask For Help
No matter what you've heard, nursing instructors don't spend hours plotting to make your nursing school experience horrible. While every teacher is different and you may not "click" with all of them, know that they are there to help you become a good nurse. Your nursing instructors can be some of your best resources.
6. Take Advantage of Study Groups
Nursing isn't a solitary profession. Teamwork is vital to being a successful nurse and providing the best care to patients. Begin this team-centric ethic early by working with your fellow nursing students to organize study groups, practice procedures, or just support each other.
7. Be Ready for Your Classes & Clinicals ( come prepared )
You have to let yourself shine in clinicals. It's normal to be nervous, but don't hide and hope the teacher doesn't see you. This is your time to practice what you've learned.- Be on time (early is better)
- Be prepared: review nursing care plans ahead of time, learn about what you're going to be doing
- Listen and watch the more experienced nurses
- Don't overstep your boundaries
8. Be Confident ( everyone starts somewhere )
Nursing school can make a strong person wonder why she went into nursing. Doubts planted in your brain can sprout and spread like weeds if you don't keep them in check. While being cautious is prudent, you need to believe in yourself and be strong in your commitment to the profession you've chosen.
9. Don't Forget About Yourself Too
You've heard it many times: you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else. You need to be in the best shape of your life to be able to take on the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of nursing school.- Eat right
- Exercise
- Get enough sleep
- Make time to relax
10. Everyone Makes Mistakes So Learn from Them
Making a mistake is every nurse's worst nightmare. But nursing school is place where you can make mistakes. Take advantage of your time in nursing school to ask questions, try new procedures, and learn from more experienced nurses. If you mess up, admit it, fix it, learn from it, and move on. You'll be a better nurse because of those mistakes you made.

I didn't expect to be here at age 49. Here as in my employment
by wha happened? init's been a terrible economy these last few years.
i had a very successful loan brokerage and watched that crash and burn in 2011. i went back to my previous firm in the computer industry that was struggling after i left.

Sickening Dilemma
by ItsMyLife ini would like to have your opinions on what i should do about a situation please.. i have recently discovered that a 'brother' in the congregation (which i no longer attend) is a child molester.
i've seen documentation from his psychiatrist dated a few years ago, stating that he doesn't feel that this person is likely to offend again.
the 'brother' has said to the elders at some point that he has it under control but cannot be 100% sure it won't happen again.

Find out where his fiance lives, and tell her. Do it anonymously if you need to, but you ahve to make sure that she gets it (not him).
Use the Internet to find her. If that doens't work, hire a private investigator. For about $100, they can do a "skip trace". But, I don't think that you'll have to even go that far.
Call the Department of Children and Family Services AND the police. CFS will most likely have an investigator go to the house and tell the woman the nature of the investigation. Ask CFS to report it to the children's natural birth father as well. His name has to be around in the birth records. Make sure that you follow up with the investigator.
