Sounds like all good advice, especially about continuing with your education. Except for this little bit "Don't take it all so seriously" I wouldn't presume to tell you how seriously to take your own life or how upset and worried you should be. The reality is that you have much to worry about. The worst case acenario in all of this is really, really shitty. Many on this forum have experienced the worst case scenario, and I think as a community this is one of things that we should be helping one another acheive: AVOIDING the worst case scenario. Homelessness is nothing to joke about. I'm homeless now and sleeping in a church restroom. I lost my apartment as expected about a month ago. I was swirling out of control finacially, I reached out, and there is just no one and no thing to help me, especially in the case of PREVENTING homelessness. There are shelters, which are just worst than sleeping in the gutter and contain the most foul beasts of humans imaginable, once you get homeless, but there is virtually no such program in America that helps you BEFORE you are out on the street. believe me, I have looked. There is plenty of money being spenty on bicycle lanes and such here in Long Beach, but the idea of helping someone prevent themselves from being homeless is as alien as suggesting there be a city paid oprogram for alien abductions and offering the aliens a time share.. whatever. So, keep reaching out on this forum, and anywhere else you can look. I don't think you are LYING on your FAFSA, and you should get that out of your head I think. Maybe even tell your FAFSA worker the whole story. State you are under the threat of being put out any minute, or just refuse to give any information on your parents under the defense that giving such information would compromise your position as having a roof over your head... and it will! Take care, and I don't say that lightly. PM me if you like, I have been through the whole student loan / grant process. I graduated from college in 07, and I was homeless once during college as well. I do know the system pretty well too. i can direct you in certain ways but just PM me and I'll give you the info.

Avoiding Homelessness
by magotan ini'm falling apart here.
the false teachings of the jw enrage me; we started covering the information for the jeremiah book, and i was outraged at how they twist up the scriptures to meet what they want to say.
my dad wants to consider the "god's love" book during family worship evening.

Has anybody caught on to the idea of turning the Watchtower on this GOON? Wouldn't that be funny if this guy was tracked down by the WT and disfellowshipped?

Your vs You're....Its vs It's....There vs Their..
by Terry inwriting and speaking is all about communication.. if we are casually engaged the level of precision vanishes.
simple ideas=simplified language.. but, as we attempt to convey accuracy, specificity and numerical precision--what then?
without a clear standard is proper communication headed for extinction?.

when people mix up "then" and "than" it really bugs me for some reason. I just think this is one of the more obvious mistakes
judging from how different the two words are in meaning.

The Rise Of America's Lunatic Fringe
by metatron inhttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-01-30/rise-americas-lunatic-fringe.
every once in a while, you read an article that really puts it all together (or spot on, as some would say).
ever on the fringe,.

This is one of the most ad hominem filled threads I have ever seen. First of all the original article by using the word "Lunatic" incorrectly wrote a completely rhetoric-filled vitriol and metatron found that attractive enough to say "spot on."
So some child named Tyler Durden a la Fight Club on the internet writes a rant, and you call it good literature?
Even the term Conspiracy Theorist assumes a biased "I know better than you, I am smarter than you" kind of stance. then the insults just kept flying all the way down the thread. Every person on this thread is just pointing fingers at the other guy and posturing themselves as more educated or informed than the other guy.
The main stream media, the "line" isn't always the truth. And so-called Conspiracy Theories are not always false. The Government lies and really good questions are not answered satisfactorily.
The writer of the article acts as if we should all ask him for a list of what things we should believe and what things we should not believe or else be branded a lunatic! Well, that's an arrogant and clearly inflammatory stance to take. In fact it may even be a CRAZY stance to take.
He who points a finger should notice the three pointing back at him.

God Leo, is there anything you are NOT an expert in? I mean, I didn't exactly expect YOU to post on a thread about indie bands from the 1990s. You must have attended college in the 90s or early 2000s to even have heard of Sleater-Kinney. As I remember I think you are studying Biblical Anthropology or something? anyway, glad to hear you are a fan of Indie bands. Let me throw some other bands at you:
Holiday
Holiday Flyer
Of Montreal
Magnetic Fields
Magick Heads
The Poppoets (crossing my fingers)
Letters From The Void (double crossing my fingers)
Mogwai
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Tullycraft
Le Tigre
Lisa Marr Experience
Tsunami
9353
Olivia Tremmor Control
Neutral Milk Hotel
Apples In Stereo
Cub
you get the picture.. I'm sold out for Indie..
Oh, and it remoinds me, Yo La Tengo just played at the Fingerprints near my home last week, bt I missed it. I saw them at a festival once
and they were very cool...

Wow! I just was turned on to Portlandia yesterday and I've watched everything youtube has on them. AND I just found out who Carrie Brownstein is. She is THE Carrie Brownstein, lead guitarist of the great Grunge / punk band Sleater-Kinney, one of my favorite all time indie bands. My brother and I even did a cover of their song "Words and Guitar," when we were playing together. Plus Fred Armisen of Saturday Night Live was the drummer for Trenchmouth, the punk band. Who knew? So cool I think.
