For anyone who lives or has lived in an Apartment...

thyst07 @thyst07 (2079) • United States 19 May 07

What's the best advice you can give? I'm about to get my first apartment and I was wondering if anyone has any helpful tips about apartment living- whether to save money or just to make things work better in general. Thanks!

thecaitycat Make a point of cleaning your apartment once a week, especially if you're messy and disorganized like me. It's really easy to put it off and let your apartment become a disaster.

Do you hog the bed, steal covers, or snore?

Swtrose @Swtrose (3385) • Canada 20 May 07

My husband says that I do all three. lol I was wondering, if you hog the bed, steal covers, or snore?

thecaitycat I snore and I kick in my sleep. I think that counts as bed-hogging. My boyfriend does all three of the things you mentioned. Since all we have right now is a twin-size bed, we take turns sleeping on the bed and the couch. That way we don't kick each other...

What are your favourite pasta sauce recipes?

draconess @draconess (650) • Canada 28 Mar 07

We eat a lot of pasta, but I'm getting bored with the same old spagetti sauce. I'm looking for lots of new, different yummy recipes for pasta sauce. Preferably homemade recipes that aren't too difficult or time consuming to...

thecaitycat My boyfriend made a pasta cause from tomatos, olive oil, garlic cloves, basil, parsley, and cilantro. I don't remember where he found the exact recipe, but it was amazing sauce.

laser eye surgery

draconess @draconess (650) • Canada 1 Apr 07

Have you had laser eye surgery, or do you know anyone who has? I'm sort of thinking about it, I think in the long run it would save money, since my glasses are so expensive. I have a lot of questions about it though... How do you...

thecaitycat Add me to the list of people considering this surgery. Between glasses and contact lenses I pay way too much money. I've heard that while the success rate isn't quite 100%, it's still very high.

thecaitycat It's a little complicated, I suppose. I've dabbled in Cheyenne spirituality, Wicca, Catholicism, Episcopalianism, Judaism, and Agnosticism. I grew up with a mix of non-specific spirituality and Judaism. If I had to describe my personal religion, I would call...

Why are our American troops wearing the American flag backwards in Iraq?

jumpinjack00 @jumpinjack00 (3054) • United States 9 Mar 07

I've been trying to figure this out for some time and have not found a legitimate answer. Can anyone tell me the real reason the stars and bars are being worn backwards on their uniforms? We've never done this before, so I...

thecaitycat Hanging the flag upside down means that something is wrong with our country/government or something. I don't remember where I read this, but maybe the backwards flag means the same thing.

thecaitycat I don't have to debate with you because I pretty much already agree with you. Anything involving his family leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and it's unlikely that his daughters will turn out any better.

thecaitycat Is your daughter already at the highest reading level for her grade? What about other subjects? I hesitate to say this, but have you thought about having your daughter skip a grade? I did, and it didn't hurt me at all.

thecaitycat Every so often I do something like that. I've survived for 72 hours with less than an hour of sleep. By the time those 72 hours are up, boy, I sleep for a long time! Otherwise my head hurts, I can't concentrate, and I start to feel really sick. Unfortunately...

To whom U prefer? Hard spoken friend OR soft spoken enemy?

thecaitycat Hard-spoken friend. I appreciate bluntness and honesty because I fall into the "hard-spoken friend" category. I don't say a lot, but when I do talk I don't like my words to be fluff.

Paralegal degrees

MaraWaskowski @MaraWaskowski (10) • United States 24 Feb 07

I am currently enrolled in a 2 yr paralegal program for an associates degree but I hear there are some 4 year Bachelors programs. I would like to get a 4 year degree after getting my 2 year degree and then maybe go to law school....

associates degree

go to law school

1 response

thecaitycat The only paralegal degree programs are 2-year programs at community colleges. However, if you are planning on law school, I would strongly recommend NOT getting a B.A. in paralegal classes. Find something else that you're really interested in and do the...

thecaitycat Good luck! I've been doing job interviews for six years and it does get easier. Wear clothes that look nice but that are COMFORTABLE. Don't wear fancy shoes or pants that look good but are scratchy/too small. Physical comfort makes a difference.
