Is there anyone out there who is a single parent and home schools their children? My question (or better yet dilemma) is how does a single parent like me combine home school and career? I can't stop working (I got to keep the kids cared for and the bills paid) but at the same time, I want the kids schooled at home, any suggestions?

I have several film cameras in good working condtion. A few are point-and-shoot, including one Nikon that takes panoramic photos. I also have a nice film SLR canon camera. The problem is, I don't use film anymore. Who would want these cameras? Would any charities be able to use them?

I am afraid that when i have sex, the guy will get grossed out by how much i sweat. i am in good shape and drink plenty of water, i just sweat a lot when i exercise. Is there anything i can do to not sweat so much? do you even really exert that much energy during sex?

Broke up with my ex of 13 years, 2 sons. Been fighting in court for 3 years for unsupervised visits. in that time i've seen my sons 1.5 hours per week for the last 8 months. She was upset the relationship ended & told C.A.S. i was abusive...NOT TRUE! they didn't check into my history i was guilty just because she said so...i have no criminal record. this is the third Christmas without my boys!

Candy Grandpre’s 2008 New Years Resolutions, Plans & Goals

1) Go to UNT for the Spring semester & then move to California in mid-June when my lease is up.
2) Try to make the best grades I can.
3) Manage & save more money & STICK to a reasonable monthly budget. Go to Student Money Management Center & make out a financial plan/budget.
4) Manage my time, make a schedule, & STICK to it.
5) Eat healthier, exercise @ least 5 X/week, & drink @ least 80 oz. (10 glasses) of water/day. Try to get down to at LEAST 150 or less by my 25th birthday. Tone my body & get stomach muscles. If I have time & money, get a personal trainer & get a dietician’s advice on healthy eating habits.
6) Reduce my fat & sugar intake.
7) Try as best as I can to get into the Social Security PASS program.
8) Try to get an evening part-time job on campus or full-time job off campus (whichever comes first). Keep searching until I find one. Be persistent & don’t give up.
9) Buy & learn how to play the musical keyboard.
10) Write fiction, poetry & plays.
11) Regulate my sleep time & get up when the alarm goes off.
12) Learn a new language or 2, or even 3. Keep up with my Spanish & refresh my Spanish & English knowledge.
13) Even though it may be hard, try not to let people upset me.
14) Practice the GRE & take the test before the Spring semester is over.
15) In April, start looking for jobs & housing in California. Plan better than I did with New York. As soon after July as possible, enroll in the Cal. State Extended Education program.
16) In January, inquire AGAIN about the Monterey Institute & see what my options are. Try to see if I still have the chance to get in. Maybe see if they’ll either accept my GPA or allow me to take extra courses.
17) Try to get a used or new car 2003 or newer IF & ONLY IF I successfully obtain & keep a job.
18) Avoid confrontations/arguments/fights with people. Walk away & don’t fuss back when people bully or harass me.
19) Go out more & get fresh air. Go window shopping @ the mall or Dollar Tree, but bring like only $10-20 cash with me.
20) Stick to these resolutions as best as I can & try to have more hope & motivation in life. Be persistent & don’t give up. If I get stuck, I know I have Kristina, my counselor, & my case manager to count on. Be healthier & happier.
BONUS: Take a relaxing vacation either to NYC or Florida & the Dominican Republic with Kristina.

In 4 months I will have a degree in finance from an accredited top 50 business undergrad program. However, for the finance field, my grades are sub-par to say the least. I have a natural talent for business in a general sense and I guess because of this, I lack concern and focus in school. (stupid.. i know). I have started 2 companies. One was a learning experience, the second was successful. And as of lately, i have been actively trading the forex market. My returns for the past 2 years have been nearly entirely positive and my percentage return since i began is pretty large. I have been trading for a good ten years now and I think ive finally reached the point where I can consistently make positive trades.

My question is: What is my best plan of action as a student who will soon be graduating? I am a person who cannot sit at a desk getting paid an hourly wage to make some other person money, but I kind of feel like I would be better off gaining experience as an employee

My friend has had a bf since high school. However, he is 28, she is 24. She has a good job, and finished college while caring for his two sons, but he still hasn't finished high school and is selling drugs in order to support himself. He does not pay child support. He has a mental illness that makes him have rages, but will not take his medication. She lives with her parents because she will not let her children be around him alone with drugs/anger issues around, as when he was much younger (years ago) he was physically abusive.

Now for the problem - she has wanted to leave him for ages, but every time she does, he refuses to see their children. She gets very upset because their son starts asking for him and cries. He follows her around secretly and snaps photos or videos. She's convinced that her children NEED their father, so she reluctantly gets back with him.

Is there any advice I could give to her? I'm not a mother, maybe she's right? She seems to be wilting inside

Working for the common goal of making life enjoyable for ALL our citizens?
One of the greatest American industrialists Henry Ford understood these principles.That is why he started paying his employees $5 a day........an unheard of wage at the time........ Because he understood that he needed a prosperous middle classes to continue selling his cars!

Another extremely wealthy man J. paul Getty once wrote "Labor is intitled to its fair share of the profits"....... and he actually believed the unions made life better for ALL Americans!
