Also programs like Net Nanny can be set to limit your time as well.

It's insane. I had to have a sonogram done to check on a heart murmur. About 15 minutes of scan time....1250.00. Sadly, that is cheaper than insurance premiums which we can't afford anyhow.

I LOVE Homer Price , both books. Mom found the one I bought (Scholastic book order in 1969) in a box in her garage and sent it. I ordered a new one for the kids as this one's fragile now. They loved both books. and yes..doughnuts!

Here it depends on the major. For example, Art HIstory requires 2 full years, a few others require only one year, and all can be started once in college, not required for admission. My hubby (computer engineering) has no FL requirement at all.

Turnips cooking, though I don't mind the smell of the greens. I also cannot stand imitation vanilla, it smells like play-doh to me, and fake green apple scent as is used in candles, candy, shampoo, etc.

Also, I've found lots of free classics on BN and Amazon. BN's blog also has a free ebook every Friday, and Amazon has their daily deals with ebooks around $2 everyday.

I'm glad to hear things are working out! This is likely a good preparation for him for registration and such going forward, when figuring out how to fit all your classes in begins to feel like solving a Rubik's cube :) I also think that dropping back from 19 hours was wise. That's a heavy load for a seasoned student, and could be overwhelming for a new one, especially in the music department.

I've used this site before too. There's a ton of info on it regarding anything and everything to do with henna.

I had a minor for my B.S. Degrees but it wasn't required. Now we are at a different school. Hubby's in the computer engineering department and with all they require, he doesn't have the time or inclination to add a minor into that. A few departments here do require a minor but those have fewer required total major course hours.

Have any of you learned/taught yourself Russian and are a non-native speaker? Are there good resources and is it even possible? The college here doesn't teach it unfortunately. Thanks!

I was 5'9 by the time I hit high school and topped out at 5'10. Growing up it was really awkward, but my closest friend was my height and my cousin was 2 inches taller, so that helped some. Clothes buying was a PAIN, especially pants. I was thin and it was so hard to find a size 3 or 4 (in pre-vanity sizing days) that weren't way too short. To be honest, I still have a heck of a time buying dress pants. Luckily, here in Montana, dress pants usually means the good black jeans, so I can get then with a 36" inseam :) I wear a lot of skirts too as they are easier to find in any length.
I would absolutely encourage her to dance in whatever style if that interests her. It can make a huge difference in getting used to and appreciating her body. I did ballet, tap and jazz growing up, and some musical theatre in college. After college, I became a professional ballroom dancer and competed in the smooth and cabaret divisions. If I had a dollar for every time a fellow dancer or coach enthused over my awesomely long/big/great leg and arm lines, I'd be rich! :) Let me tell you, when you are on a floor with twenty other couples, guess who stands out in the crowd and gets noticed? Contemporary is a style that would be great as well.
I played basketball in high school but it wasn't my passion. I went to the flag/rifle corps in the band and loved it. There's another place that my height was a real advantage and I found it easier to wave that flag around than some of the really small members. The trick it to approach anything that might be an interest and try it out without the 'I may be too tall' stigma. You never know what will do the trick. Good luck!

I'll swing by the bookstore during orientation and see what kind of student discount they offer; maybe Apple offers a student discount from their mall store if you can prove you are a student.
I believe here they get their student IDs made during orientation so this may be an option.

One of the Spanish sections here (Montana State) is being taught online and via skype, which I thought was pretty cool.

That's great progress! One of the big things that makes it hard is the lack of the hand-to-mouth motion. Keeping your hands busy and giving them something to do helps a lot, as does keeping yourself busy so time doesn't crawl like molasses. I read a story somewhere that Ronald Reagan munched on jellybeans to help him quit as they satisfied the hands and mouth issue. I did a lot of cross stitch and knitting while quitting.

I grew up in South Carolina and it was always law-yer here too. More correctly, it was laaaaaaw-yer. If we could add extra syllables, we did :) I finally left the southern part of the country and now in Montana. Hearing 'crick' (creek) is still something I refuse to adopt. My southern accent is something of a novelty up here for my friends. I had to laugh about there being no word for a roundabout/traffic circle out here. Bozeman put one in last near by the MSU campus and it was a big object of debate.

I wish you the best. I dealt with quitting 15 years ago. My first thought was to taper off and I started by only smoking half the cigarette, then tossing it. It did cut out how much I 'took in' in a day, but in the end, I was still smoking and maintaining the habit and keeping my body craving the nicotine. Eventually, my doc gave me real incentive and told me that all my lung issues were going to turn into emphysema if I didn't quit.
I grew up watching my grandfather suffer with this and oh boy, did that hit home. I went with the surgical approach, as Orthodox6 called it. The first few days were awful but after about 4 weeks, I lost that big time craving when I smelled someone smoking. That's about the time my sense of smell was returning to normal. I realized that it smelled awful to me and that was sorta the end to the craving. After that it got a little easier every day. I'd go a day and realize I hadn't thought about it and be surprised. Then I'd realize I'd gone two, and it was another little victory :)
Good luck and feel free to vent if needed. I know how hard this can be.

If you use Microsoft's Skydrive, this page explains how to access your One Note notebooks while you are away from your regular computer or share with others.

I love both! I have both an e-Ink Nook, a Kindle DX (e-Ink) and a Nook HD+ tablet. The e-INk devices look like an actual book page. Tablet devices like the Nook tablet, iPad, and Kindle Fire look like a regular, lit computer screen. The lit screens, both e-readers/tablets and my desktop computer, really fatigue my eyes if i read on them for long periods so I don't read books on my tablet. The e-Ink devices are more like a printed page so no eyestrain for me.

Glad to see that things are evening out for you :) You've been in my thoughts a lot these past few days.

aish.com is fabulous for information on the various holidays too.

Regarding the weight, be sure to measure yourself (arms, thighs, calves, waist, stomach, hips, everything) before you start and then about once a month. You may find initially that your weight number isn't changing much but you are losing inches as you lose fat and gain muscle, so don't get discouraged if the scales don't move a lot initially.

If you want an easy to understand book that touches on just about everything there is to know, Jewish LIteracy by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin is good. It has entries on just about everything, not super in depth, but gives a great overview (he writes from the Conservative perspective).

The thing that will make you successful is making it a habit. I am turning 50 next month and a runner, so it's very doable :) It has tons of benefits (any exercise) and helps keep you young. Some great advice above and one more - get good shoes. If you are going to run, go to a local running store (Specialty store, not a mall store/Foot Locker) and have them fit you based on your foot mechanics/pronation. It will go a long way to help avoid injury.

Thanks, I am trying to recall now where I picked that up. His books are usually my first stop too :)
