    Least favorite errand to do?

    I bought a bag of frozen broccoli and cheese that you steam in the microwave. I think the sodium was around 200mg or something like that. I can't remember the exact number. I don't currently have a bag to refer to, so my number probably won't be exact.

    Anyone watch Dr. Who?

    I agree. When I was a kid, I used to think that BBC (PBS) programming was boring. Now that my brain has matured, I'm finding that this stuff is really intriguing and thought-provoking. I didn't think I would like Dr. Who at first, but I was very surprised. Much the same way I was surprised when...

    How many of you have attempted a Master's Program?

    ProjectMUSE is one of my favorite databases for research. Thank God my university subscribes to it so I have complete access to it. My academic advisor did her dissertation on feminism within children's literature. I've come across some of her stuff, very interesting how she looks at it through...

    Veganism

    I tried adopting a vegetarian diet for health reasons but I had to stop because it was so expensive. I bought a bag of fresh fruits and vegetables that were in season at Walmart. It cost me $50! I was like WTF?!? No wonder people don't eat healthy anymore, its too expensive! So now I try to...

    Least favorite errand to do?

    I have a standard sized refrigerator, so I don't have a lot of space. I try to buy meat in bulk when it is on sale and freeze it. Frozen vegetables tend to be high in sodium which I am trying to watch. Also, I have noticed that some frozen fruits and vegetables don't taste 'right' compared to...

    A Thread About Absolutely Nothing! Part III

    We had an overnight ice storm last night. Because of that, the local schools are closed. It got bad enough that there are two large limbs behind my apartment that fell from the weight of the ice. I didn't hear it but my neighbor heard it and texted me.

    How are you feeling today?....

    I woke up this morning with a migraine. I managed to find some generic brand OTC migraine relief pills. I took some but it hasn't made it go away completely. It has only made it bearable. I am trying to avoid my "cocktail" at all costs. That is the absolute last resort because it makes me loopy...

    What are you thinking about? Part VI

    Thinking about what to buy on this next grocery run. Today it looks like: soda, milk, eggs, cheese, beef, and spaghetti sauce. I'm thinking it'll cost around $30 at the local grocery store. I remember when I was a kid, my mom could buy 3 full bags worth of groceries for around $20.

    Least favorite errand to do?

    I don't like doing the grocery shopping because I have to think, "OK, we can afford to eat this, but not that." It's frustrating when my daughter wants something expensive like shrimp and I have to tell her "No, we need to save it for when we have the money and to celebrate a special occasion."...

    House chore tips...

    I rinse my dishes thoroughly before washing them. This makes the actual washing process very easy. I also clean things up as I walk by instead of letting it pile up. This is why my apartment stays nearly spotless at all times. Oddly, I can't say the same for my truck. I usually clean it out once...

    Dennis Rodman

    Well he should know that if he says one wrong thing against the DPRK, he can be imprisoned for life in a labor camp. He won't last long there. If Kim Jong-un executed his uncle, he won't bat an eye about sending Rodman to a labor camp. Kim Jong-un is that ruthless. Aside from that, we all...

    Been gone too far long. Oh and I have 390 notifications. Oops.

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back. I have always dreamed of finishing my BA in English Education. Now that I'm a junior, which is a smidgen past halfway done, I am realizing that it is slowly but surely becoming a reality. Oh yeah, it also helps to have the support of your professors...

    A challenge to archaeologists and liguistics

    I have no idea. Judging from the looks to have cuneiform and arabic influences along with Egyptian hieroglyphs playing a small role. Each symbol represents a phonetic sound that when put together form words, sentences, and complete thoughts. There is spacing between sets of characters which...

    How many of you have attempted a Master's Program?

    I know I am only a junior in my undergrad studies, but I'm considering grad school. I'm thinking about doing something related to deaf literature. I know that isn't a large arena and tends to be extremely narrow, but I think it's worth studying the contributions that deaf people have made to...

    Something really nice happened to me today...

    Wow, that is a really nice gesture! I've been on the receiving end of generosity lately, and I hope to work and study hard so that one day I can be in a position to help someone else in need.

    I have never dreamed of becoming a minister, although I am an Episcopalian now, instead of a Baptist.
