| At least my parents are never giving up on me. I'm worried about being able to care for myself once they're gone. My dad's job is stressful and he has a business partner who frequently mistreats him. Therefore, he clings to my mom. He can't even cook or do laundry like I can. I chose to learn such s... |

| I'm 27 years old and I'm hoping to get my regular driver's license this coming year. I just started a job at Publix, a popular Florida-based grocery store, in October. My mother drives me to and from work on the days when I work. I appreciate her for doing this. Today, my dad said, "Quit whinin... |

| What kind of job do you have? If you love your work, your shift will fly by. I sometimes get anxious about getting out of work at the grocery store when I have to work the closing shift. Luckily, that only happens occasionally. I'm more of a morning person myself, but I'm flexible to appease my boss... |

| Why would NBC send Al Roker to the Oscars when the ceremony aired on ABC? It'd be like if ABC sent George Stephanopolous and Robin Roberts to the Olympics, which aired on NBC. In a way, NBC was inadvertently promoting a rival network by sending the popular weatherman to the Oscars. In 2009, right wh... |

| I'm a huge fan of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 . I had no idea that Harold Ramis was sick until the day he died. My sister didn't want to tell me the news because she knew I'd be sad, but I had already been informed via the radio. We're all fans of Ghostbusters in my family, including my four-yea... |

Rod and Todd Flanders - They're so charming with their voices. 4. Lisa Simpson - She's so smart and has an interesting voice. 5. Marge... |

| Probably the song that best fits me is Tom Petty's hit song "You Don't Know How It Feels". I am a huge fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and this particular song best describes me. I often feel ignored and misunderstood and the song touches on that. I'm not surprised that he received an MTV Vid... |

| In the past two weeks, many of my high school friends have graduated from college. I'm the same age and yet, I'm still in college. All over Facebook, I'm being bombarded with photos and congratulations and all of this other crap of the graduates. This makes me very jealous because we all graduated f... |

| It was very hard for me making friends growing up. Not only that, I was teased a lot due to this. Teasing escalated greatly while in middle school and it got to the point in which it crossed the line into harrassment territory. By the time I got into high school, teasing had diminished to nearly not... |

I received my permit two days before my 17th birthday in November 2005 and I have yet to upgrade to a regular driver's license more than five years later. My d... |

My kindergarten teacher, Ms. Susan Moore, was the first one I was not fond of. I do not think that she wanted to accept a special needs stud... |

| It does seem very early as it is late June and Christmas is still six months away. It'd be tough to start this early because there are other events between now and December, such as people's birthdays, including mine in early November. I often get upset as early as late September about Christmas com... |

I decided that I wanted to be baptized. My parents didn't make that decision. The reason why I didn't go for yea... |
