Sorry to change the subject, you guys, but I was so worried about my cat. We adopted a stray kitten a few months ago, took her to the vet, got her all her shots, got her all cleaned up, etc. 8 a.m. Friday morning, she was her regular playful self. 11 a.m., she was behaving strangely, hiding under my bed and scrunching her face up so only one eye was peeking open at a time. She didn't want me to touch her or hold her, and she'd slink away and crawl under my bed again. Just the opposite of her normal self! She wouldn't eat or drink or use her litter box. I was really scared. I called the vet, who lives near me, and he stopped by to see her on his way home. He thought she may have eaten something indigestible, like string, which she loves to chase. He said that if she was the same or worse in the morning, he would give her X-rays and she might need surgery. She did improve a little by Saturday morning and drank a little water, and by Sunday she was almost okay. I don't know what was wrong. Her eyes are cloudy so she's on antibiotics now, but I was afraid on Friday night that she was going to die. She looked awful.

Are your parents going to live forever? Are they going to support you forever? How did your dad get to the point that he makes his money? Is your parents money going to run out?

My dad's parents supported him until he graduated college. He got to the point where he is now by working hard and proving himself.

My parents said they're willing to support me for as long as necessary. But I hope to support myself after college. That's why I'm in college...to better myself. If I wanted to live off my parents forever, I wouldn't be in college.

Awwe what horror to go through. I walked into the kitchen and my dog was at the bowl and her eyes were not right they were huge glassy and the brightest blue in the world and I knew she wasn't right and I kept saying her name over and over with a question mark and picked her up and took her to the bedroom she was standing next to me while I dialed the phone and then just fell over and died in my lap in an instant. It was awful, the only thing I'm thankful for was she didn't suffer and I don't know what happen but shar-peis don't have long life spans and she was getting up there. My brother's dog before it passed, would hide under tables. I really hope kitty is okay.

I'm not kidding about that E-Bay thing man. You could make quite a bit and set your own hours. Learn about something that sells fast like classic auto parts, knives, tools or something you can turn. It sounds pretty easy from what I've been told. I am not qualified to work the camera and all the technical jargon though! I'm sure a man of your age is though!

Depending on your major... If I were to look at your resume listing your degree with zero work experience I would likely throw your in the discard pile. If I hire someone I expect them to know how to work, and to have some skills sets to bring to the table. Something more than just book learning.
