| Yeah, I wouldn't go myself either, but I agree that it's great for the more lower functioning kids. But if I were there, I think that all the kids running around and shouting and stuff would drive me absolutely nuts! |

I'm horrible at math. I used to be good at it until eighth grade. Now I've lost a lot of my math skills.
Ironically, my mom's a CPA so you'd think I'd be good at math... Oh well, at least I'm really good at language arts. |

| I hear anywhere from twelve to sixteen on average, but it has been lower and higher. I'm twenty-one, but being petite and skinny as well as having a young-looking face just makes me look so much younger. Mentally, though, I'm already past my years, probably about ten years older. I don't really care... |

| Help, help! My niece is going to be in her Girlscout troup's annual talent show. She's planning to sing to two popular songs she heard from the Disney Channel. Does anyone know how to get just instrumental music without the voice in it. Is there a website? They actually make Disney Channel and movi... |

I apparently sound like I'm from any of the following places:
*Cincinnati
*Florida
*California
*New York
*South Carolina
I've only lived in Texas and Indiana and no one can ever believe it  |

I can pull off wearing yellow but I can't even think of anyone else I know personally that can. I have a light yellow sundress that is known as the dress on ano... |

When I was fourteen, I was molested and I knew perfectly well what was going on. I was able to escape before it coul... |

I'm really good at those as well. My language arts skills have always been through the roof, but I am just horrible at math! |
