deaconroyal Thank you for the compliment. I find that having someone show me what I am doing wrong does help a lot in learning something. The idea about talking to my teacher is a good one as many people don't seem to want to look bad, even though their grades do that for...

deaconroyal I also did better in high school with calc, trig and algebra 2. I guess we just skimmed the surface or else I forgot more then I thought.

deaconroyal I understand about the Aha moment because I get them a lot. Sometimes I don't know how to say what I am having trouble with. I asked for some help from my Chemistry teacher once and after a few minutes he looked at me and told me to just memorize it. He...

deaconroyal Every school requires them to use proper English hen doing school work. There is not a single school that will allow you to get away with "OMG, TGIF!!" in a paper. People use grammar only when it is important, or they are can't correct anything else about...

I live in a small town so we only have a short walking trail, about 3 miles one way, and 2 parks. One of the parks is about 1 1/2 miles around it and the other is around a 1/4 of a mile. I like to take random walks around the...

deaconroyal I am going to be moving back in with my mother for a few months to save up some money over the summer so I will be able to also get some of those great country views. She just doesn't live by a lake sadly. But there is one about 10 miles down the road I might...

deaconroyal I wish i had a place that looked that nice to walk around. The walking path here is an old rail road that they ripped up and put cement down. It has it's moment, but the kids have begun spray painting everything. If I can find my sd card I might go take some...

I recently finished a 36 day Juice fast/feast, which ever you want to call it. And have decided to go with a more vegetable rich diet afterwards. I am not going to give up meat but want to reduce it from my daily eating. I of...

deaconroyal I did a search to see if there was any topics before I made this one, but it seems I did the search with the wrong tags. I did find the one you are talking about and it seems like a very nice burger and I will have to try it. It does differ from the one I eat...

deaconroyal I also prefer to bike, but since I haven't been able to do so for about 2 months I am not used to it and my rear gets really sore. So I like to walk around in the hilly places for my exercise. I see many people walking their dogs as the reason to get out and...

deaconroyal You make that sound so nice. The park we have has a small damn to make the lake, more like a large pond, and about 1/4 of a mile down stream from it there is a small waterfall that me and my nephews got to play in today. We have had a lot of rain recently so...

I have been looking at buying e-books over traditional text books this coming semester. The gentlemen at the book store on campus told me it was a bad idea because I can't return the e-book when classes are over. When looking at...

deaconroyal I was going to do that also but ran out of cash before the semester started and had to use my Pell Grant to pay for them. This year I am saving enough to buy them when I go back. I use a regular tablet with a great e-book reader on it right now but have...

deaconroyal I am a student right now. I current use regular notebooks because it makes taking notes in chemistry and my other science classes so much easier. When they get tablets where you can use a wand or pen to take notes as easy as on paper i will make the switch. I...

deaconroyal Thanks for the comment about eye strain. My eye doctor has given me grief about my eyes lately. But I never really had that much of a problem with it as I can never sit for more then 10 minutes reading a school text book. But when I have it was a hard copy. I...

We are fortunate to have two farmers markets in our area. I usually go to one but have not been to the other so think I will head down in a few to see what they have and prices. Vegetables are usually really much cheaper than...

deaconroyal Honestly 15 miles is a good deal even for my gas hog of a truck. If you can buy 30 of food and save 5 bucks doing so then you will make out in the long run. The health benefits to you and your family of eating good fresh food and also sticking it to big...

deaconroyal If only it was that simple for me. By the time I go to bed I am already planing out my future for the next 30 years. I sometimes spend an hour in bed just trying to go to sleep but can't because my brain is racing around like a cracked out gerbil on a wheel....
