It is called a corner of teh universe.

It is about an 11-12 year old girl, who lives in a bording house, then one day she finds out she has an uncle 10 years older than her who is at a school for special need people. It doesnt really say what mental condition he has, all it really says is how he cant control his emotions sometimes. It describes alot the relationship she has with her uncle, who is named adam. It shows how her family sees him as a special need person, but the girl, whose name is Hattie sees him as a friend and a regular person.I am not very far in it, i am on page 68 but so far i think it is very good.

DId anyone read this book? and what did you think of it?

If you did not read it, after my description would you read it?

In the last 3 weeks I have traveled by air to Philadelphia, St. Louis and Denver. Nowhere did I find anyone seeking signatues on a Petition supporting impeachment of Bush. Why not? If he is the anit-Christ, Hitler clone and war criminal that the libs say he is, then WHERESTHEBEEF?? Isn't it time to put up or shut up?? Some answer that there are not sufficient votes but that is a cop out. If great people did not try to do great things against the odds we would all be a bunch of cavemen.

There are many examples of plants and animals which have a "symbiotic" relationship (they need each other to survive). How can evolution explain this?

My 6th grader in in volley ball and I told her that if VB got in the way of school work, then she would not be able to play.Well I found out she is hiding her homework or not bringing it home and rushing to get it done before school or between classes. They have block schedule so homework is always due at 2 days later than assigned, giving plenty of time to complete it.
I decided to not let her play in the game Wed because work she got Fri and Mon was not done. Does anyone agree with me. I told her she can earn VB back if she gets her work done next week.

you ask a question. within a min or seconds you get reponses and you check the answers pretty much a few min's or seconds after you ask it.. You know YOU didn't give anyone thumbs up..but yet one of those people (who have answered it) already have a thumbs up. while none of the other's have a thumbs up

for me that's how you can always tell that someone has more than one window open with more than one account running. At least try to hide it!

Ugh, my calculus teacher always give us pop quizzes! We never know when we're gonna have a quiz! We just walk in to class, and he says, oh, you have a quiz. And I'm like what?! But I didn't study! Then I end up failing the quiz because I didn't remember what we learned. So why should teachers be allowed to do this?

I recently read several news articles that mentioned Saddam's willingness to except exile as opposed to war with the US.... I never heard this brought up prior to now!!

so... what do we all think of this? should we have excepted this and not invaded? Remember this would be only saddam and not his murdering regime. (personaly i dont think war was called for to begin with).

I'm a 19 y.o college student that lives with her grandparents and brother. My mother passed away when I was 17, after having breast cancer for 8 years. I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for just over 4 years. I don't really have any friends that I stay in touch with, because I just feel like putting the effort into making friends. I am easily irritated by people, I tend to overreact over stupid little things (boyfriend not calling or not being able to see me), I constantly feel alone like I have no one to talk to, and I think I cry a lot. On the outside, I feel like I always have to be strong and put a smile on my face, but meanwhile on the inside I feel like I have nothing, like I'm all alone. I started talking to a counselor at my school this week, but I don't think she really understands how I feel. I feel like because I don't hurt myself, she thinks there's nothing wrong, but maybe it's just me. What is going on with me?

We have a mortgage for 146,000. Value according to mortage holders is around 205,000. We have a fixed 6.65% rate and have 26 yrs left on mortgage. Current holder could roll all of our debt into home loan and reduce our rate by .25%. Bringing our payment with escrow, insurance, taxes, etc.. from 1460.00 to 1750. Our debt includes 14,000 in student loans, 14000 in credit cards, 15,000 in vechiles as well as 10,000 on HELOC. The question is this almost taps out the entire equity in our home and we would also have a thirty year loan again. Would this be a wise move? Thanks. BTW both of our middle credit scores are mid 720. We make about 110,000 a year.

I am really quite frankly exhausted trying to understand the mentality of a believer. Odd, considering I used to be one. And I really would like to understand. It is genuine. I am not here to judge. Just to learn.

Just want to say thank you to all of the atheists here that have helped me down my own path of unraveling the fairy tales over the last few months. Can we all just get together and have a drink or two?

I have been newly diagnosed. My TSH levels were very high..and doctor has started me on Synthroid 25 mcg daily. I gained a lot of weight (roughly 10 lbs), I have been very achey, tired, irritable. Has anyone had any of these symptoms or others? Do you lose the weight eventually after being on the meds? How long does it take to feel better and have more energy? Any side effects from meds? Are we predisposed to other autoimmune disorders now? I am being retested in 3 months to check my levels. I'm hoping to feel better, and thinner by then! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated or advice. : )))

I recently moved to Atlanta from New Jersey. I am looking to move into a room in the Midtown area of Atlanta. I have been in here for a week, and have seen several places that I'd like to move into. I have been staying at a friend's house until I find a suitable place. She has given me a month to find a place. I have received offers to move in, but only in areas that are either ghetto, or too far from potential work and school.

The issue is this: The ideal places are in so much demand, that the landlord or people in charge of renting the room have PLENTY of choices in selecting a roommate, therefore I have not gotten a call back from these particular places. I am confident about my appearance and demeanor, and I have handled years of rooming with friends in New Jersey without a problem. My question is: Should I call the places I like, and somehow convince them to choose me? Any other tips? Should I wear a suit when visiting the room? Dress to impress? Thanks.
