geogirl85 Yeah, as a geoscientist-in-training this has always been (pardon the expression) a hot-topic for me. When it comes to the little things, I don't know how they would effect global warming, but as far as being better for the environment try to recycle as often...

Mine is a Sony Vaio Desktop Computer that I bought in September 2001! I was lucky in the fact that I had this mind-set in the shop of wanting to buy the dearest available, hoping it "won't be obsolete in 6...

geogirl85 Same here, a friend built mine, and we got the whole thing set up yesterday. Sounds like it has the same features as yours, only with a 650 hard drive. Loving it so far, much faster than my six-year-old laptop.

I met this guy about four years ago, while he was dating a friend of mine. We had a lot in common, and really seemed to hit it off pretty quickly. I liked spending time with him, but eventually we stopped talking because I felt...

geogirl85 I wish I had an answer for you. I always considered myself to be the kind of person who doesn't fall for someone lacking character, but there is just something about this guy. Even after everything I've been through, my first instinct is still to defend his...

geogirl85 That is so true about Facebook. I've gotten in touch with a few people that I hadn't heard from in years, and it went ok. Pretty much, I was just reminded why I didn't really need them in my life any more. I guess I didn't realize right away that sometimes the...

geogirl85 On some intellectual level, I think I know that he really doensn't have feelings for me, but the emotional side of my mind keeps saying 'but you don't know for sure how he feels.' But you're right, I've really never been able to tell him how I felt, mostly...

geogirl85 I am curious, what show were you watching? Some of my friends have said that I don't seem like the time to have 'drama' but that drama seems to happen for me anyway. I know that falling for him again would be the worst idea, but I thought that maybe I was...

geogirl85 My aunt has had a total of three Norweigan Elkhounds over the past twenty years or so, and she has loved them all. They can be temperamental, but if you carefully train them, they can be such wonderful dogs.

geogirl85 You're probably right about not going to see the movie. I've never read the book, and I loved the movie, but my friend who had read the book thought that the movie was pretty bad. I don't know why, she just said that they made some changes from the book that...

geogirl85 I actually went to my temp agency this morning, re-took a few proficiency tests, and now I have a temp job starting next week. It won't last very long, but it is making me think that things can get better. Good luck to you!

geogirl85 Wow, I think I'm going through the exact same thing, but luckily its only been a few months, not a year. I'm not sure if I could keep this up for a year. It would definitely be time to move back in with the parents before then, as a last resort.

geogirl85 She does like for attention to be on her, but it's hard to tell if that's the whole story. In the end, I guess what I want is a way to stop her from bringing me into her opinions.

geogirl85 I agree, you can't really be here to earn money, but the discussions can be interesting, and you can just ignore the discussions that you find boring.

geogirl85 I would definitely help my family out. Let my mom pick out a house, and help my dad with his debt. Next, I would pay off all of my student loans, and my friends loans too. I would probably also donate a large chunk to the human society or the ASPCA. Maybe both...

geogirl85 I agree. There's nothing wrong with trying the generic, then deciding that the national brand really is better, and worth the extra money.

geogirl85 Its funny that you used spaghetti sauce as an example, since my favorite sauce is generic. I think that it tastes far and above better than all the rest, so I'm hoping that it was different than the brand that you tried :).

geogirl85 I can understand that. I usually try the national brand first, and then the generic. If the generic is just as good, then that's the one that I continue to buy. If the generic brand stinks, then I don't mind paying more for the national brand.
