5015 days agoA little background: I have about six years' worth of student loan debt (1 year undergrad; 5 years grad), and for awhile, I had really bad credit card debt. I tried to get a credit card through my credit union last year (when I was still well over...

5018 days agoI just got done running 2.1 miles in 19 minutes! I'm excited because I'm trying to beat my last year's time in the GSA for Safe Schools annual Walk/Run/Eat. It's a 5K I'm running next month to raise money to support LGBTQ students in Wisconsin...

5018 days agoSeriously, I think these are the worst seasonal allergies I've experienced in years. It's weird, too--I go a couple of days feeling fine, and then I start sneezing like crazy and can't stop! On really bad days over the past couple of weeks, my eyes...

5019 days agoOkay, I should be putting away laundry... but I'm digesting. :p DS is out at his Sunday night game (he plays White Wolf RPGs with a group of friends), and I'm gorging myself on blue cheese pizza trying to make myself sick of blue cheese before I get...

5020 days agoWe're putting most of the money in savings (we have a "baby fund" account), but we got an Amazon gift certificate today. We spent it on... ...a drinking fountain for the cats. :p I feel kind of ridiculous, but we've wanted one for a long time, and in...

5020 days agoAll the posts about names and nicknames and new people got me thinking that I'm not sure if I ever mentioned that my name rhymes with "Scrabble." So now you know. :p (Years ago, I met up with a guy I'd known for years online while he was visiting his...

5021 days agoAnother revisit of an old topic, since there are so many new faces--who else teaches? I'm a sociology PhD student, so teaching has been my source of support for the last few years. I've TA'd Human Sexuality, Contemporary American Society, and Intro...

5021 days agoHelp! I have wanted these boots for over a year now, but have resisted buying them up to now. For awhile they actually weren't available, but now they're suddenly showing up on Endless again. I searched the web, and there is nowhere that has them...

5022 days agoDS's birthday is a week from tomorrow; I realized today I needed to get on his present. I actually got him some PJ pants awhile ago, but I had put a pocket sun dial on my Amazon gift list for him, so I went back to find that--I'm so glad I was able...

5022 days agoDS & I are both teaching this semester (university-level)--I'm teaching a sociology course on Race & Ethnicity in the US & DS is teaching algebra for all the kids who didn't manage to test out of it. So there is a difference in our classroom make-up;...

5024 days agoAs kk pointed out, there are a lot of new people on the boards, so I thought I'd ask who's into video games again. :-) I mostly play City of Heroes, a massively multiplayer online game (think World of Warcraft, but superhero-themed). I got DS into...

5025 days agoFor those who need maternity or baby clothes, through September 20th Amazon is doing 10% off baby items and 20% off maternity. You have to check specific items to make sure they're eligible--it will say on the product page--but there's definitely...

5028 days agoSo I had my high-risk consult on Wednesday--basically, they were just amazed that I know all about my own medical history & risks associated with my meds. The doc spent all this time trying to "convince" me that it's best to stay on Lovenox...

5031 days agoI just wanted to let everyone know that I'm running the 5K for GSA for Safe Schools again this year--GSAFE is a Wisconsin organization that provides resources and training to help establish gay-straight alliance orgs, safe space programs, and the...

5032 days agoOne major thing that came out of me attending that conference last month was a really good conversation with another grad student who has 2 kids (she came in the same year as me, same school). She basically confirmed what I'd been thinking, which is...
