  1. Huh? If you figure that people should be smart enough to filter out what is untrue about posts, don't post it in the first place. No, but what you posted did say that. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    Chess

    Yeah! That's part of why I liked it so much! It's neat to try so hard, but then something messes you up, and you think, "huh....well, I hadn't thought of that!!!" I'll probably go get Chessmaster. It looks like a great game! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  3. I wasn't interested in studying. I'm much better off since I got a degree. I hate studying (I'm probably going to get out of my career because I hate it so much.) However, everyone has times where studying sucks slightly less. I found that the only way I could study was if I was on campus. I lived far off campus, so if I had a 2-hr break, I couldn't go home. I would sometimes study in that 2-hr break. If I had to do it all over again, I would've arranged my classes so that I was forced to spend more time on campus. Another two words that always helped me: office hours. I didn't need to study if I just knew the material. Unfortunately, I had a few absent-minded professors, and their office hours didn't help at all (one professor was a genius...he just couldn't explain everything he knew very well....and he wore the same red sweatshirt everyday.)

  4. Haha! No! My friend is very sexy...she's just a buffalo. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  5. Don't you love it when almost everything is perfect? -I went to belly dancing last night, and I signed up for the next set of classes. I'm allowed to take Level 2 classes now!!!
  6. Yay! I'm getting beach stuff! This tent seems like a great deal. It's much bigger than the one at Ron Jon's, and it's cheaper. It'll definitely be easier to be out all day on a beach with a tent like that. It'll be nice that we'll have something to get out of the sun into. Am I stupid for wanting dumb crap like this? Have I mentioned that I have bad spending habits? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  7. Okay! But that last time you did that, I'm not sure if what you were doing really counted as being a chair.... There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  8. Yeah. I'll be applying sunblock non-stop, but it won't be good enough. Anything small like that pop-up thingy will help. I can use all the help! The only problem with their site is that they don't have any floating chairs (yes, I'm that lazy.) There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  9. That is cute! And cheap! I might buy one of those pop-up shelter things. I'm going to be spending many days on the beach, so it might be worth it. It's not too expensive there either. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  10. Ick. I hate Old Navy. I bought a couple of jeans from there, and about 5 months later, they all fell apart on me (broken zippers, holes in the jeans.) I won't shop there because it's very low quality. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  11. Is there a good place online to buy stuff for the beach? Isn't funny how they don't sell beach gear in the Midwest in April... I need a really good towel (or mat...or whatever). I don't like sand in funny places. I need a long sarong because people don't like it when I walk around in a bathing suit. I need cool stuff that I can take with me (I saw a really cool floatable chair that used a noodle and mesh thingy!) What should I take to the beach? Where can I buy it online?

  12. Knowledge is only power when it is correct. "Knowledge" can be destructive when it's wrong. Take the good points from that email (stay aware of your surroundings), but please realize that most of it just isn't right. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  13. Basically, false information about rape is dangerous. Women shouldn't have the idea that how they look has anything to do with rape (long hair, clothes, age, etc.). Everyone is already aware that rape exists. I'm not sure what you were trying to make them aware of. I tried to make people aware that it is grossly unreported (and other surprising facts that most don't know.) There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  14. From my training, Snopes is almost dead on. Actually, if you don't believe Snopes, call your local rape awareness program. If you want to know more facts about rape, your local Crisis Center should (not all will) have information or can easily refer you to someone in your area that does. Often times, they give talks to try to inform people about rape (when is it rape, all about rape kits, what to do when someone you know has been raped.) If you are wanting more information, I strongly suggest contacting your local Crisis Center. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  15. I posted information about rape there. Not many people saw it. Just some facts for you guys: *Even if the rape survivor has no plan on prosecuting or getting a rape kit, report the crime. With more reported cases, people may understand just how serious it actually is. *"1 out of 3 women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime." *1 in 4 college women have been raped or suffered attempted rape. *78% of rape victims know their attacker. *Rape is a crime of violence motivated by a need to show power over or to express anger against another person. Sex is used as the weapon. *There is no evidence to support a link between physical attractiveness or sexiness and rape. Rapists care little what their victims look like; in fact, they rarely remember what their victims look like after the rape. The fact that elderly women and very young children (either males or females) are often victims tends to negate this myth. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  16. Do you care to cite this? I have had training in a Rape Survivor Advocate program, and this doesn't make sense from what I've learned. The "because" here seems to be off. Most rape is acquaintance rape and not premeditated...that's probably why they don't have a weapon...not because they think about the consequences. Also, is the sentence for rape that low in CA? That seems odd. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  17. I despise both of you. I still get excited, but I'm not giddy all the time. I'm not a giddy person, and I don't like it when I am. It doesn't feel like me. I like not being giddy but still getting excited! But, you two make everyone sick...so you do as you please! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  18. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wendy, are you sure you wanna get into that? Congrats, guys! Man, that picture is funny! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  19. Oh! No!!! I'm sorry if that's how it came out!!! I don't think you would lie/disrespect your partner! Sorry if that's how it came out! I was saying that I will love somebody, but if they cross me, that love is gone. Hence, it's conditional. I definitely understand having unconditional love for one's children. I don't have children of my own, but I spend a significant amount of time around my brother, his wife and their kids, and I really see what you are talking about. Kids can lie/disrespect their parents, and they're still loved. If someone I'm dating lied/disrespected me, they would not be loved. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  20. Haha! I'm too opinionated for that! From my days at Purdue, it seemed to chase me all over Harry's! I never dated in college because I was too concerned with where my career was going. Plus, it's difficult enough for one person to find a job. Imagine trying to find a job somewhere for someone! I thought I would wait to date until I got older and settled in somewhere. I kinda messed that one up...seeing as I'm not settled...and I'm dating someone not where I am... I can understand that. I questioned why I broke up with certain guys over one small disagreement. I thought, "Well, if I would've talked it out with them..." But, everything works out for the best, right? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  21. Actually, I hope adults don't have unconditional love for one another. That would make people doormats. You can't treat me however you want and still expect me to love you unconditionally!!! I won't love someone that lies to me or doesn't give me respect. Supposedly, time heals all wounds. But, I've also been told that there are things you may never fully get over. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  22. I'm actually the oposite. During the sadder times in my life, I was glad that no one was there. I don't like to burden people with my problems. I also didn't want to become accustomed to "leaning on" someone as a way to make myself feel better. I've been through enough crap to know that I definitely do not need a special someone to ever make me feel better. I can do it all by myself. However, during some of the happier times I've had, I thought that it would've been cool to have a special someone to share it with. Sure, I shared these moments with my friends, but it's different sharing a moment with someone who is not just a friend but is your partner as well.

  23. Very few know. Most people don't either. It seems that most people settle. Most people grasp at something for fear of being alone. Most people confuse love and lust. Most people cannot be honest enough for love. Most people aren't happy enough with themselves to be in love. I'm not saying that I'm perfect or that I don't do anything in the list mentioned above, but it's just what I've observed. We all have our own thoughts on love. Nothing is right or wrong, but it seems to work best when couples have similar ideas on love. To me love means that your life with that person comes first. It doesn't mean that you can't do anything without them, it means that when you do something without them, you realize how much cooler it would be with them. It doesn't mean that you try to win them over with gifts all the time, but it does mean that you think of them often enough to pick up laundry detergent while you're at the store because you know they're out. It means that once that stupid giddiness stage (that I hate) is over, you still want to hang out with them often. Love can also suck, though. We all know couples who really loved each other, but they just would never work as a couple. Love also means you have to compromise, and that sucks, too. I know nothing, though. I avoided relationships for 22 years. They seem to do more harm than good. People stress about them way too much. I never saw much good for wasting away my high school and college years with a boyfriend. Maybe I missed out, but it's nice looking back on those years and knowing they were pain/stress free. In my opinion, the population would be happier as a whole if they stayed single longer. When you figure out what love's all about, fill everyone else in!

    Chess

    Thanks for the tips everyone! I haven't had much time today to play, but I'm sure I will soon. I hate it when I have a big plan while playing chess, and then they do some fancy move, and they ruin it for me! Sigh...I hate losing! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  25. I'm taking a fun/relaxing/romantic vacation down to the Virgin Islands.
