Feeling overwhelmed by life!

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 17 Jul 07

Every time I think I have a handle on my bills they just topple me. I had it set in my head that I was covered for the month... and then I realized I'd forgotten about the cable bill! *smacks forehead* So, of course, now I'm...

Feeling shut out by a friend.

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 30 May 07

Has anyone else dealt with this situation? I have a friend that is shutting me out. Yet they respond to my calls/emails/etc *just enough* so that they can claim they aren't. But I know, in my heart, that something is not right...

Earnings dropping?

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 16 May 07

I have been really busy lately. I am moving, searching for a new job, etc. So the week or so I mostly just check in every few days to see if anything unmissable has been posted but haven't been active. I've noticed my earnings...

CBS Interview with Son-of-Sam

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 7 May 07

Personally, I find the idea of airing an interview with this man to be in poor taste. His crimes arein the past so there is nothing "newsworthy" to be gained from speaking to him. In my opinion, dredging up the pastonly serves to...

My odd schedule tends to throw off my sleep schedule like crazy. So sometimes I need to turn to the occassional sleep aid. The only problem is that on the occassion that I do take them, I have an extremely difficult time waking up...

Summer Jobs

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 3 May 07

Well, it's summertime! I'm looking for a summer job so naturally, I'll be hitting up all the old standbys (retail). But I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for summer work I may not have thought of. There are only 2 main...

Working from home. Do any of you do it?

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 1 May 07

I know that the vast majority of ads claiming "work from home!" opportunities are total BS. A real employer wouldn't charge you to work for them. But I'm wondering if anyone here actually makes a legitimate income from home. If...

editing?

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 29 Apr 07

Can we edit our posts here? So far I haven't figured out how. On the one hand, I'd see not wanting people running around altering the content. However, sometimes I post something and then go "doy!" because I made some rediculous...

Heroes and Jericho: running side by side?

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 27 Apr 07

Heroes is a product of NBC and Jericho is a product of CBS. However, given that they are both FANTASY post apocalytic visions, there is no reason they cannot run concurrently. This is how I have been viewing them recently....

How do you make an animated avatar?

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 27 Apr 07

I noticed a lot of you have these neat animated avatars and I was wondering how you made them. My avatar is just a photo of me, but it would be cool to add a twinkly to my eye or something, no? Any tips?

Who should pay on the first date?

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 26 Apr 07

Should the guy automatically pay? Or whoever does the asking? We live in modern times, but typically the guy does the asking still. What do you think?

Grammar on the internet, gone to heck?

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 26 Apr 07

I always find amusement in grammar mistakes on websites or in web programs. These mostly happen because the program tries to conjugate verbs or make tenses agree and does so incorrectly. Without the human eye to correct them, they...

Asthma in the city

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 24 Apr 07

I recently (well almost a year now) moved to a major city from a small town. I've asthma most of my life, so I learned early in childhood how to control it and didn't have any anxiety about my new location. However, I find I have...

Should the gunman from the Virginia Tech massacre be forgiven?

BlueOrchid @BlueOrchid (187) • United States 23 Apr 07

This young man was obviously mentally ill. No sane and rational person wakes up one day and decides to murder more than thirty people. No sane and rational person commits murder, pauses to construct an angry rambling manifesto,...
