Shifted some stuff around to make sure I meet my academic and fitness goals for the semester. I've been getting up at 5:00 and working out, and I actually feel better throughout the day now that I hit it hard first thing in the morning. Because I'm doing it in the morning, I don't have to...

Downton Abbey is historical fiction viewed through the lens of modern people. Part of it is historical fact, part of it is fiction, and its all conjured up by modern minds.

Beetlejuice is a classic! I watched it about a billion times when I was a kid. That led me to watching movies like "Little Shop of Horrors", "Edward Scissorhands", "Psycho", "Carrie", and eventually film adaptations of many Stephen King novels. Too bad that I had to miss a good film seminar...

:lol:Such a funny question now that the semester is in full swing. The better question to ask me is what am I reading for each class. :hmm: I remember when I could just read for pleasure. :roll:

Alltel was a Little Rock, AR based wireless communications service provider. They sold out back in the mid-2000's with Verizon acquiring most of their major markets. AT&T has since acquired some of the markets that Verizon did not need. I have a relative that worked on the inside of the Verizon...

Your wording in post # 226981 is as follows: The way your sentence is written leads the audience (me) to think that the phrase "primarily for English majors" is a modifier for "hearing university". If you were implying that "primarily for English majors" modified "linguistics course", I would...

WTF?!?! If that's the case then the average American citizen should qualify for welfare. Oh yeah, I'm not surprised by the welfare fraud charge. How did she afford the fertility clinics and IVF procedures when she was ALREADY receiving welfare assistance? Also, if she already had six...

I use the Weather Channel app on my iPhone. I don't like WeatherBug, I found it to be annoying. I don't think the contract dispute with DirecTV will spell the end of TWC. I just think it is a bump in the road. A lot of people still depend on the TWC. Besides a lot of research into meteorology...

Feeling like a BEAST!! Why? I got up at 5:00 and did a workout. Then, I talked to a friend of mine via FB. After that, I added some final touches on a homework assignment for Systems of Grammar and took the kiddo to school. I did all of this before 8:00 am. By 9:00, I had texted my priest about...

I have two kinds of clothes. Clothes I can wear to the university that are more casual such as jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies. I also have clothes that I wear to my subbing job and for internships at the public schools. I will wear the same pair of jeans until they have holes in them and need...

Walmart is a big box store. They can purchase items from suppliers in bulk which is cheaper. So they can have a larger inventory than a small operation. Small shops can only afford to keep so much inventory at a time so they cannot purchase items in bulk for dirt cheap. This means they are...

I highly recommend renting your books from Chegg.com. I rented 5 books for my classes this term for a little over $100. The only book I paid full price for is my Systems of Grammar book, which is published in-house at my university.

Registered sex offenders are not eligible to receive HUD housing assistance. That generally bars them from living in low-income or income-based housing that receives government subsidies. Also, when a person becomes a registered sex offender, usually as part of the terms and conditions of...

Oddly in ancient Rome, a slave could earn his or her freedom, become a citizen of Rome, and become as wealthy as their master. Often, masters would treat their slaves like family and it has been proven that the slaves and masters ate the same foods. It wasn't about money or power. It was about...

Also, another thing to motivate you to put in the effort is this: If you can spend 45 minutes to an hour to play around online on social media, then you've got time to get a good work out in. It all lies in what your priorities are.

Studies have shown that younger students more readily acquire second languages, especially those under the age of 14, than older students. You can learn a new language at any age, but the older you are, the more difficult it will be. This is why many European and Asian schools begin teaching...

I have checked the coverage maps for these carriers, and none of them have service in my area. The two main carriers here are AT&T and Verizon. Out of those two, Verizon has the best coverage. Thus, why I am curious about anyone who uses the Verizon MVNO network through Straight Talk. It...

Linguistics has to do with the development of many languages. Also, just because it is a hearing university, doesn't mean that deaf culture doesn't come up. It does. It came up in my Intro to Secondary Ed class from the professor. It came up in my psychology class by Dr. Warnick, it came up in...

I save my change in a pickle jar. I would love to have one of those huge water containers, but I live a tiny apartment and space is crucial.

That can be stressful. How is your son taking the news?
