I am trying to figure out my future if I should go to college or just keep working a regular job...............................
by andys ini am faced with a dilema right now and need some advice on what i should do with my future, i realize that eventually i'll grow old and will need to somehow work my way up so i have something to fall back on, like someone told me once i don't really have a support structure to fall back on, if something happened where i could not work i would probably wind up homeless, moving back in with my parents house would be out of the question because i would never go back to the borg.. this is my situation right now, everything is going good, i love my job, i am single no kids, i work at a hosptal making $10/hour doing janitorial work, also my rent is very cheap about $350 a month for rent on a duplex, i live less then a mile from work, right now i have the most ideal situation to save alot of money even on $10/hr job, but also i realize that everything can go all at once, if i ever lost my job since i don't have no support structure and could not find work i would be sol.. now to some of the things i like doing, i like to drive, one of the things i have always wanted to do is learn truck driving, since i don't have no extra responsibilites, i am still having a hard time though making a decision, on one hand i like my current job, but on the other hand i realize that i do have to plan for the future, if anyone can give me some advice i am at a loss of what to do, also because of the way the econommy is here in the us right now sometimes i think its best to stick with the job that i have but still don't know whats best..

Would You Like To Know What Goes On At Elder's Meetings?
by minimus inhave you ever wondered what goes on at an elder's meeting?
after a prayer, the presiding overseer will state what the purpose of the meeting is.
if it's a quarterly meeting, the elders will discuss the spirituality of the congregation, its spirit and any dangerous trends that may be observed.

Yeah,we had HORRID men in the congo that I went to.One,named Don ***ch{Rhymes with Porch} was a particularly bad man.Evile and had a David Koresh way of charming the dumpy middleaged women.They all fantasized about him,I heard them!Thing is,he looks like a tall bald Hitler.Awful man.Takes a lot of joy in causing family strife.I wonder why?Assomeone on this forum said{who knew them quite well} "They looked as tho they were baptized in lemon juice".lol.He is a terrible public speaker,has zero redeeming qualities as far as I can tell.He is the only surviving member of the tri that DF"D me...hehhehheh,I still have time!

Sucks dosent it?And it feels like no one really understands.But,ya know,we do.My dad died in Dec 09.By mid Feb,I was ready for my pain over losing him to be done.Read "Final Exit" got all of the needed stuff.Kissed my Husband goodbye as he left for work,Ate toast for breakfast{so the meds didnt make me puke} and headed for the bathroom,where I had the stash.Halfway there,my cat,who I love dearly,ambushed me from beneath the couch,muckled onto my ankle and refused to let go.He stared at me as he rabbit punched my pj's.I tell ya,its like he KNEW!!!!!! I sort of snapped back into reality at that moment and realized how stupid killing myself would be.I had so many good things,and I was totally focusing on the one really bad thng that had ever happened to me.yes,I would have given it all up,if not for my cat,Joey Ramone.So sweetie,some of us do know.I hope you are feeling better.Life is sad and beautiful.You are beautiful.Right now,you are sad.You will be beautiful again...hugs......pm me anytime,ok?
