I might say "as much as I could" when I was a student, and I really did so. I learned things from underground to outerspace, and I really enjoyed it. However, I am wondering whether it is right or not to force my younger...

pokumon I think you misunderstood. I would not home school them solely. I want them to go to school because I want them to interact with their peers ad make friends. I had the option of finishing high school in 3 years but I loved it so much that I decided not to skip...

pokumon I don't think the schools teach enough these days. I am upset that I never learned anything in history class about the Vietnam or future wars. It seemed like World War 2 was the last major event you learn in a U.S history class. I was just reading the...

I had a talk with my boyfriend just awhile ago. He said that I should be independent and try to live on my own instead of staying with my parents and relying on them. Because I will never learn, unless I try and take courage...

pokumon It seems to be a big point of contention between the two of you. I hope that things work out for you and that this doesn't cause you two to break up. Yelling at him won't make things better and will just cause you to drift further apart. I wish you the best of...

pokumon His tactics seem to be counterintuitive. He wants to help but he just does not know how. I was and perhaps still am in a similar situation as your own. I however really did not want to move back in with my parents. After graduating from college I was...

pokumon I think you did the right thing. He seems to only want one thing from you and that is to get you in bed. After he does succeed he probably won't show any more interest in you. If you don't feel the attraction he has for you reciprocated do not pursue a...

pokumon Yes I have as well. I recently forgot about 40 dollars in my drawer at my boyfriend's apartment. It is nice because I can use that money now and can delay going to the Atm. I once found 10 dollars inside my jacket. I had put it into my pocket and there was a...

Many sites are offering good money or good earnings. But what we don't know if they really pay their members accordingly and timely. So I always aim to the minimum pay out before going to their maximum pay out. That's the strategy...

pokumon This is good advice. I have fallen for a couple scams online and regret all the time and money that went into doing them only to never get paid and just waste my time.

pokumon I would only borrow this friend money if I count it as disposable income and do not expect to get it back. That said, 3000 dollars is well over what I would be comfortable parting with perhaps for forever. I have let one friend borrow just 20 dollars and I...

Im looking to kind of compare costs for music lessons. I am pricing out violin lessons for my daughter and where I live they want 25 dollars a half hour. That seems like a lot to me. What do other people pay for music lessons.
