Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor --
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now --
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

I had some really big BAD stuff going on in my high school years, I couldn't focus on my studies. I was barely able to go to school.
I had a 2.5 GPA and an SAT score of 1400 (new SAT). I think I can do better if I take it again because I was so slow, I missed about 30% of the question. I think I can get 1600 if I take it again.

I wanna get into any four-year college. I wanna major in biology. I really don't want to a community college (don't ask why). Do you think it's my only choice?

Queensland, Australia.

She's a nasty piece of work anyway, rocks up without notice because believes that she is lord on high and can do whatever she likes. Brought along an architect and builder (but no real estate agent, who should have been there) last week who TOOK PHOTOS of all the rooms in my house with my personal items in there - didn't ask or let me know anything. I had to ask when all the renovations were planned for and she still only gave a vague answer. Today in the mail I receive a "Notice to Remedy Breach" for saying that I haven't maintained the garden - but the garden is perfect! There are a couple of things that I have to take to the tip but I was waiting for the free tip day tomorrow. I have an official real estate quarterly inspection in 5 days time anyway. Is it unreasonable for me to be upset about this?

Humans have sex through out the year.Day and night. They do oral, anal and many other types fornication. But poor animals have sex only once in a yearand that also in one way only. That is why there are billions of humans in the earth.

...and if the clay in more than and inch and a half thick, we have to hollow it out.
Whenever I try to hollow it out, the walls of the thing cave in.
I seem to have tried everything ranging from exacto knives to pull wires, nothing just seems to work.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how to keep the walls up while I hollow it out?

Eventually I will need a stroller for my little baby. He is 5 months old and he weight like 22 pounds! He have right now just his car seat and I put it in a carrier (both from Graco). It is not a stroller, is just a carrier, like a frame. Can you tell me please which stroller is the best? Seems like Graco stroller are too big, I don't want something like that; I will prefer an umbrella stroller, but... which one?

Posted this as a response; but I thought this would be better:
1. If God is omniscient then he knows all since that entails knowledge without limits. In creating earth he foresaw everything that would occur. He created the world anyway
He knew that SOME of us would be believers and SOME of us would reject him. He knew the end. But he created us anyway. So....WHY did he create 'man'--if he was going to save some and damn others? Free will...and all-knowing being? Our choices are free, yes-- but they are 'known'...
I'm looking at the BIG PICTURE, here and it doesn't make sense. How can you even think 'free will' really matters in the grand scheme of things?
2. If this being created us knowing he was going to damn some how could this being be considered omnibenevolent?

I am Agnostic. I'm not attacking. Just an Innocent Question. Was always taught God=omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent. But--I see a conflict, here.

>>Please NO scriptures. NO appeals to faith. Just..LOGIC.<<
