I work odd hours, 430 am to 1130am and as a result I have to sleep odd hours. So I've been trying to adjust my sleep schedule to match so that I'm not dragging at work and whatnot, yet the people I'm living with are making this...

So today I've had a crappy day. I work at a certain chain of donut/coffee shops for a measly minimum wage, and today during one of the rushes I started feeling sick to my stomach. I continued to help customers until I realized it...

Well I was sitting down thinking about the lot and when I was typing something I signed it mel at first without me noticing. LOL!! Since my user name in Bellaofchaos I usually sign bella. But that got me to thinking about in life...

JackOLantern I've got quite a long list actually, and most of them have stories attached to em. J or Jay: because for some reason people constantly call me every name that starts with a J other than my actual name (Justin), so I just started introducing myself as Jay...

JackOLantern We 'civilized' people have strange beliefs as well, look at any major and minor religion, if you look at it from an objective put of view our beliefs are no less strange than those of other cultures. What's silly to you and I could be incredibly serious to...

Not if they intend to help me around the house. That's a new 'law' my husband just laid down. He said it's his job to help me around here. The problem is, he doesn't help me around here... at least, not as much help as I need, not...

JackOLantern Wow, no husband should treat his wife that way in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with your sons visiting you once a week, and since I moved out of my mom's house a couple months ago I call her every weekend to see how she's doing and let her know how I'm...

Other than having low energy levels today my mood is really good but I heard on the TV just now that today is called Blue Monday and is supposed to be the most depressing day. Well if we think it is going to be it will I guess but...

JackOLantern I didn't know today was Blue Monday. However, after having a fitful night of nightmares and a long busy day at work only to get really bad news when I got home, today isn't the best of days for me. Glad your day is going well though :)

I want to replace the hard drive on my laptop. If I do this, will my system restore disc that came with the computer work to load the operating system onto the hard drive? Does anyone have any tips or pointers on this process for...

JackOLantern I say go for it, if you have issues Tess will be more than happy to slap me around for ya. But I highly doubt you would. However, I would recommend investing in a copy of XP Service Pack 2 (especially Professional if you can find it at a good price) once you...

JackOLantern Actually, I believe it will...I've had more than a few hard drives on this computer, and more than one I formatted with the restore disc. Granted, depending on the make of the hard drive and what not, you MIGHT have an issue. But I don't think so.

JackOLantern The only thing I can see as being stated wrong in this post is the conscious choice making in lying. With most people, yes, it IS a conscious choice. However, as a child I began to lie compulsively, even about good deeds, so as to be spared the spoon, paddle,...

A while back I read a discussion about a father having to pay child support for kids that aren't his. What was neglected to be said was alot of facts.. Yes there was a very elusive article pasted to it. But one person did...

JackOLantern At first I thought this guy was more of a father to the children than whomever the actual father was. Until the bit about asking for the money back. The ONLY way I'd agree with asking for the money back was IF the mother wasn't using the money for the needs of...

JackOLantern I took my son to his Wiccaning, but that's it. I was baptized, though I'm what people might consider a heathen now. One of the things my son's mother and I have always agreed upon is that he will be free to chose his own way/religion and so long as it...

In the film Bruce Almighty, we can see how Bruce uses his powers first of all to help himself. If you had similar powers, would you be as selfish, or would you try to help people? What would your priority be?

JackOLantern In all honesty I'd get my major life issues settled first, then I'd gladly move on to help others. Unless of course someone's problems were worse than my own. Ya know, this is a hard one to call actually. I supposed it be a per-situation kinda thing whether...

When I was a young girl I had a friend and one night we decided to try smoking a cigar. My parents weren't home but my younger sister was. Well we lit it up and the smoke rolled through the house....we tried to get it out (after...

JackOLantern I smoke cigars on occasion, especially when I can afford a single cigar compared to a pack of cigarettes. For one, I prefer the smell to that of my cigarettes. And for two, depending on which flavor I happen to get, they taste a whole let better. I tend to...
