i cant say that im a fan of affirmative action but bushs comments and actions against the u of m kind of burns me.
again, while i dont believe in affirmative action, i have to admit that it does help the "little guy.
" where i work there is another engineer who got a free ride through college because he received a hispanic scholarship while i spent 10 years paying back my student loans.
The whole thing depresses me unutterably.
We have the stupidest president I can imagine... Yale! What a joke! I absolutely LOVE his tax break for the rich... how about a break on payroll tax??? Does he want to help average Americans? Of course not, all his friends are rich!
I am so sick to death of this YUTZ running amok, making war, destroying the English language and embarrassing our whole wonderful country...
*SIGH*

although i am out, my parents are still involved with the jw's.
after the fiasco they went thru with me and my brother.
they have remained "faithful", but at the same time deal with there own feelings of doubt and disgruntlement.
Oh my goddess... that is so pathetic! The WT, being a total boysclub, never fails to blame the victim.
That poor girl, I hope she'll get out of that miserable cult.

well i just got my blood work done, it was way over due , it has been three years.
it came back good on the sugar, but bad on cholestoral...... and very , very bad on triglycrides.
my family on dad's side, everyone has trouble with this from a very early age, and all of them have to be on meds even thou they changed diet, lost weight, and exercised.
I was a vegetarian for three years until my recent pregnancy forced me to change for a time. I was very nauseated and had many food aversions. When it was discovered that I was WAY under on my protien intake and my efforts to fix that without meat failed miserably... well what can I say? I'm glad I had options!
Vegetarianism is not so very difficult. You eat vegetarian meals all the time without noticing. Pasta with marinara sause, PB&J, Mac&Cheese, etc. We have not gone back to strict vegetarianism yet, we eat meat a few times a week. I just try to keep our consumption under control. Vampire should really be vegan, milk products set off his asthma and his family is just a mess as far as cholesterol and heart disease etc goes. I keep him off dairy pretty much and encourage him to skip the meat as often as he feels he can.
You can go to http://allrecipes.com and do a search for vegetarian recipes. I would reccomend going to amazon.com and looking for vegetarian cookbooks that got good reviews from customers. Good luck with this!

i'm a deskside support guy working for a service company, at one of their contracts.
i enjoy fixing things, although some of the customers could use a good knock on the skull sometimes.. i make pretty decent money for what i am doing.. for me, it's what i've wanted to do my whole life.
i had a computer from the time i was born, and love it since then.. what do you guys do to bring home the bacon?.
I'm a mom. The pay is lousy, I get no vacation, no sick time and I even have to work during my "maternity leave." But I love my work! It's the people I work with that make this job what it is. My kids are terrific and my mate is the best.

i got to reading a few old posts and could not resist reading one of bill bowen's old posts.
just a reminder of what he put himself through ................ i went to the meeting tonight to check out things in the local congregation.
this spiritual paradise is showing a few cracks.
I absolutely love this post. Bill Bowen sure is brave and bullheaded... usually in a good way. I really hope things will settle down for him and start working out better.

as you all may remember, i left the organization 4 years ago - never df'd, never dissassociated, just left.
my parents initially tried everything they could to get me to come back but to no avail.
they've never really shunned me because we still talk on the phone, but seeing that we live on the opposite coasts, i've only seen them once in 4 years.
Good luck with this. I really hope it all works out for you.
