Hugs! I feel for you.

Can you start by taking one or two two night classes at a time? You may be able to earn transferable credits. Sorry things worked out the way they did though.

Night classes in what, exactly? I'm already working on the prerequisites that I need for the program, if that's what you mean. I provided the colleges with proof of enrollment, so they should be considering that when looking at my application. The schools that have the program I want are nowhere near me, unfortunately. Really, nothing is near me and I don't drive, so it's difficult to get out. I'm doing the prerequisites online. I guess I'll probably do some more online stuff for good measure if I don't get into anything. I just can't bear the thought of having to live here much longer. I love my parents and all, but they're very negative, reclusive people... and I'm an adult, for heaven's sake; I need an adult life. I'm getting a bit venty...

oh.my.god. LOL.

Yes.

Once, when my cat was a tiny kitten, there was a bug on the ceiling above my bed, so i held him up so he could try to get the bug. Now, when he sees a bug, he stares at me (creepily, i might add) and meows pitifully until I carry him around to try and get a bug! It is absolutely ludicrous!

The custard reward was not worth braving the rain. I want chocolate now to take the custard disappoinment away.

I'm sad the other picture is gone!! The one that looked so inviting and peaceful. Welcoming. Safe.

Really! What was the view from the two beautiful chairs in front of those awesome Windows? Trees? Sunshine? A trail?

Couches change. Some are by the ocean, some are woody, some are more urban, almost all have books, and there will be another on in a week or so. Or one can go look at the old pictures.

TrailRunner14 · Mar 03, 2016, 11:02 PM

Ok. That one was feeling so good for where I was then.

Want to show two that look really good to me now. Here's one!

This one? Trees, perhaps a lake and a gazebo.

Forgive me for interrupting. I was looking for that place I saw earlier and it was gone. From where I was it was a bit disturbing. Thank you again!!!

You're not interrupting. No such thing as interrupting on the couch.

My all time favorite pc story.

Here's a new twist for me. The little woke up early and woke me up for a change. She's watching tv since she's all ready for school. I'm sort of in shock!

I'm guessing that means something similar to 'it's a fine soft day'. Basically, it's pissin' rain and it's never going to stop. Ever.
