Not really. I ate some ice cream, chattered with my sister and that was about it. Rest of the time has been spent staring off into space, I think.

I had over 300 dollars saved for college this summer, to take Prehistoric Europe. Then my parents had a bit of a spot and I had to spend it all and because I didn't realize and didn't pull out of the class on time I have to pay the college 981 dollars before they;ll elt me into class. Plus I've got college loans to start paying back.
CeeCee said:It is! Good thing about part time, while you can't excatly support yourself, at least you're not tired all the time. I don't know what it is about a full time job you hate that just sucks your soul out your navel.

I never got the chance to go to college...or even save up the money to go to college....
U2MaNaIcWeIdO said:That's what I meant with "You must have been busy with something"
CeeCee said:
Don't feel bad. I'm 26 and just now getting around to it. It's tough, college.
U2MaNaIcWeIdO said:
Yea...you should be lucky...both of my parents needs meds...and some of them are just as expensive as a full tank of gas (dendable on the size of the car) now a days.
Eidolon Bird said:
Or even a full time job you like but don't really love. I think it's all the time I spend at work thinking of all the things I could be doing if only I were home.
Good luck with the job fair! I hope you find something that you don't hate.

But the ice cream and the chatting couldn't have taken much more than fifteen or twenty minutes. That leaves an hour and forty minutes in which I did nothing and cannot recall (not) doing it.

I HATE the healthcare system, pharmeceutical companies, and the fact that corporations are allowed to make a profit off of people's illnesses.
U2MaNaIcWeIdO said:Yea...but that's the price I have to pay for my parent's illness/transplants/disorders.
Eidolon Bird said:
Yeah, but I don't think it's right that you have to pay as much as you do for that stuff.
Healthcare is a topic that's too easy for me to rant about so I'll shut up now.

CeeCee said:I should go to bed. Should being hte operative word here. What shall we call the new thread? Which of hte Boy's names should we use?
U2MaNaIcWeIdO said:
How about either Edge or Adam?
CeeCee said:
Mmm.... Edge or Adam.
U2MaNaIcWeIdO said:
Yea...but my dad also has to pay for the meds too....and he's the one with the health insurance.
I don't...
Eidolon Bird said:
I guess I should try to clarify: The healthcare industry (especially drug companies) wastes LOT of money, and it's mostly the sick people that have to pick up the cost. The cost of treatment is astronomical and it breaks my heart to hear of people who have a hard time paying their bills or flat out cannot afford the things they need. I work in the industry and see it far more often than I would like, so it's something that I am very easily bothered by.
My best wishes to you and your family. Maybe some day this stuff won't be quite so expensive and you will be able to go to college or do other things you would like to do.
