america220 I sometimes do little side jobs when I'm stuck. Like right now, I'm broke, so I'm asking around seeing if anybody needs a babysitter, or just some chores done. I'm still living with my family too, but I'm the oldest, and only 19.

Do you find it hard to put money away for a rainy day or for something you really want to buy/do/see? I have the hardest time with it. Not because I forget to do it... It seems like every time I start to get close to saving enough...

america220 I'm bad with money too. I'm only 19 so I guess I'll learn, but i hate that I use my money for food more than anything else. And I go across town to see my bf a lot, so a lot of my money goes to gas too. I don't have a job, my check is from the government, so i...

america220 Maybe it won't be that awkward. Maybe he will apologize. But I agree, he was being a bit harsh to your brother, but to blame your mom for everything? Where the hell did that come from? I'd be angry with him. Just protect your mom and keep her calm and strong....

Does googling make you more stupid? Googling meaning online search on the world

carpediem17 @carpediem17 (1315) • Singapore 23 Aug 10

america220 i don't think searching on the internet affects your intelligence at all. It doesn't make you dumber. IF you know what you're reading, you know what you're reading. You don't forget how to read by reading all the time.

elmiko @elmiko (6630) • United States 23 Aug 10

Mines not loaded with songs like other people who might have over 100 songs. I guess I'm a little more picky about the types of songs I listen to. I would say I got around 20 songs or a little more then that on my Mp3 Player.

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 9 May 10

america220 i read actual books that you can hold. Sometimes I read ebooks if I can't find the print version. But I like turning the pages and feeling the weight of the book and having my own voice in my head. I'd like to get a kindle though.

america220 I have a pair of earphones and very loud music. I live in a house with seven other people, and four of them are rowdy boys, so it helps a lot. I just close my door and blast my music in my ears.
