  1. I will keep trying lol because I have to Pretty soon mom is going to start making me pay rent! lol
  2. Now see, everyone told me to call back. My mom told me to call back, and at least two other people told me to call back to show them I was really interested (my mom has NEVER been turned down for a job she applied for, and she got them all by calling ) Besides that, the job market is extremely competitive here. Meaning, pretty much every job there is available, five people will have applied for it. They WILL HIRE the most desperate person, so I basically have to be that person I forgot to mention, my AP test results came today, and I got a three on my chem exam (I PASSED!! I PASSED!!) and a four on English
  3. Well I've been home from my dad's for 3 or 4 weeks, and now it's time for me to find a job. I put in an application at a local grocery store. Not only is the place within walking distance, but I liked the atmosphere and thought I would like to work there. They weren't officially hiring, but they were short staffed. I had two reccommendations from people who worked there. I turned in my application. I called a few days later, they told me that the manager had taken it upstairs to look at it. All was looking good. They told me they'd call me. They didn't. I called back, they said "oh, well we looked at your application but we aren't hiring". Um...you think they could have told me that...when I handed in the application? OR, when I called the first time? I think they just wanted a nice way to blow me off. But they could have called. That way I'd have known to keep looking. See, the problem is, where I live no one wants to hire an 18 year old. People my age have quite a reputation for not showing up for work, walking out on the job, or if they do show up and stay there they just stand around. So I applied at another place, the small convenience store/gas station. The manager was very happy to see me, told me "we're always hiring! They'll find some place for you!" and sent me off with an application, which I turned in 15 minutes later. I went back a few days later to check, and they had lost my application. Manager said she'd find it, I called the next day she hadn't even started to look. OK, that's fine. Told her that if she couldn't find it and needed me to fill out another one, to call me. Said she'd be conducting interviews maybe at the end of the week. I haven't heard back from her yet, but I'm still hopeful. I was going to go yesterday with my neighbor to a knife/tool place in Williamsport. See, we are both collectors of knives and swords. He was ill, unfortunately, and also Williamsport was getting pelted with hail and tornados Needless to day, I didn't go. I needed to get some driving time in in order to get a discount on insurance, so today mom and I went to Wal*Mart. (I love Wal*Mart). Unfortunately, the road we usually take was closed. So, we had to go the long way around, and we managed to get lost. Well not truely lost, but we were much confused. Finally we get to Wal*Mart, and I happen to find the ring I have been looking for. It's citrine, and I wanted a citrine ring, not so much for the look of citrine (citrine is a yellow stone for those who do not know) but for it's energetic properties. Some believe that wearing citrine attracts wealth, which is something I am not concerned about. However, I find that when I wear citrine or carry some of it with me, I am considerably less agitated. I found this out years ago, when I could not stand to be in my school. Large crowds and certain types of technology make me feel physically ill to be around. I do not know the reason, but I found that citrine helps with that, and with some other things as well. Recognizing the "energetic insanity" creeping up on me again, I pulled out my piece of rough citrine and stuck it in my pocket. Instantly felt better. So then I started seeking a ring made of the stuff, because I really don't like carrying random stones in my pocket. At the very least, they tend to go through the wash if they don't get lost alltogether. Besides that, my particular piece of citrine looks a bit like crystal meth. My friends and I used to joke about this, especially since I carried it in a stash box that I had found near some woods where I used to live. But where I currently live, this might not be such a funny coincidence. Especially when I'm trying to obtain and hold onto a job. So I found this ring at Wal*Mart, it isn't silver like I wanted, it's yellow gold. But it's quite pretty, and wasn't horribly expensive. I was going to buy one on Amazon, but when you buy a ring online like that you can't see the stone or really what the ring looks like. This one cost about the same as the one from Amazon would once you added in the shipping charges. It's also very simple, which I like, because I plan on never taking it off While I was in Wal*mart I stumbled across a soapstone potporri holder/incense burner which I plan on putting on my altar. I don't like incense, because of the smoke and because most of it burns my throat, however some other sort of scented thing would not bother me at all. I'm thinking a cotton ball with some essential oils on it And of course, I can't go anywhere without something going wrong. I stepped to get out of someone's way in the perfume isle, and a box fell off of the shelf behind me and right onto my foot. The corner left a bloody and bruised scrape Watch out for that designer cologne spray, that stuff hurts!
  4. Lol apparently the person who told me about it was "so 2004" too. I still like www.dhmo.org
  5. Lol I don't go around to where it's been mentioned apparently I never saw the pirates. I used to dress as a pirate but that was a Halloween costume I liked a little too much had nothing to do with flying food.
  6. I'm...honestly not sure what this guy was thinking (or smoking!!). In his defense, I believe that this may be a form of sarcastic protest against the teaching of the Intelligent Design theory in schools The Flying Spaghetti Monster
  7. Saccarin is gross, aspertame is gross, sucralose is not bad taste wise I think we ought to go to sweetening things with stevia Saccarin is gross, aspertame is gross, sucralose is not bad taste wise I think we ought to go to sweetening things with stevia
  8. lol now that you mention it, yea actually I can kind of see that! lmao
  9. If being a libral means I care about the citizens' rights more than I care about money or the government's reputation, then call me a libral and I will wear it proudly!! LOL I have to remember that one. "Cranial defeculator". Classic!
  10. Yep, Newsweek is just full of "libral propaganda". Especially the ones inside the government who confessed to it. They were all librals And what about the "weapons of mass destruction" in Afghanistan? Where are they? What about the ones in Iraq? Where are they? And where IS Osama, btw. He keeps sending us videos, but we can't find him. Maybe he should send us a map
  11. LOL You mean the spies they are using to circumvent the Constitution and delve in to the personal lives of innocent citizens without any reason OR legal right?
  12. Yea but they don't want each individual person to be plural lol, kind of like you are Centurio, that's singular isn't it? having everyone listed as "Aedilis" would be like saying they were more than one person

    My handwriting sucks lol. It looks pretty from a distance, (I've started writing script thanks to my 11th grade math teacher who made us write everything in cursive) but if you try to read it... I've been told my printing is "alien hyroglyphs"
  14. oh my... lol I never had a copper deficiency though, I always ate a ton of liver and until I moved and we have town water, our water was green with copper if anything, I could have ODed on copper. My mom almost did when she was taking antibiotics which reacted to copper. I do have to note however that though rats may be similar to humans, somehow, rats are not humans and they are also much smaller, a lethal dose of anything for a rat probably isn't enough to do much harm to a human.
  15. I'd never thought that it was any more addictive or any more fattening than regular cane sugar (now brown sugar, *that stuff* is addictive. I could simply eat an entire bag of it with a spoon) Are you sure the MS thing isn't just coincidence? If it's more than a coincidence it should be researched further..
  16. Does anyone know of any common Roman "blessings", religious or otherwise, and their latin translations? I'm looking to use one or more in art projects; besides I thought it would be an interesting list to compile
  17. I wonder why cloves wouldn't be used in perfumes? They smell better than cinnamon! Corn syrup is good! Besides that, if I'm not mistaken, its a bit healthier than plain old sugar. But I'm probably mistaken on that point
  18. Did Equestrians now become Equites? (Or did that happen a while ago and I just now noticed?) I skipped right over "senator" (oh well, women couldn't be senators anyway). What is an Aedile?
  19. My guess would be the wine killed the taste, (horehound is DEFINITELY an...aquired...taste) also the water they had probably wasn't all that good.
  20. Cinnamon in coffee! Pertinax, you are a genius!!! I never thought of it! LOL. I'll have to try it in vanilla cappucino I'll look into that book when I'm putting an order into amazon next

    Thank you!! What's cilography?
  22. I hadn't known that clove did anything for infection. Why was cinnamon more expensive than clove? Was clove more readily available? (cloves are more expensive here, and they taste alot better too!)

    Oh, OW that stuff looks painful lol. Man. They'd have to knock me out or something first (and I thought I was brave lol. I was watching the doctor stitch a severed tendon in my finger...and the novicane had wore off! and still that stuff makes me flinch!)
