Jobs & Careers > Career Path & Goals Employment testimonies: What does, "Stop moving my cheese" mean to you?: 2 of 34
"Stop moving my cheese" is a metaphor for exactly what I have been going through for the last 8 months! I recently got a bachelor's degree hoping to climb the ladder of success. Ha, Ha, Ha.

Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Debating whether global warming is a threat or just media hype: 25 of 163
I wholeheartedly agree that the planet is headed for another global warming, but notice I said "another" one.

These may be out of reach for most people, but we all want to do something. Here are some small things everyone can do though, ... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Problems Parents Face Single parents: What to do when you can't make ends meet: 3 of 13
Of course it depends on how hard up for money your family is, but I'd start with: find your nearest food bank, health clinic, second-hand clothing store, and community center. But, even before that, try to get help from the absent parent. All states have some method for getting money out of absent parents. Unless the absent p... More..

What more can a Democrat, activist, writer ask for?This particular story begins with my move to sunny SoCal a few years ago.

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology What it means to be a democrat: 8 of 29
First, let me say this, "Why are people who are not Democrats writing about what it means to be a Democrat?" How can that perspective be representative or fair? It's not! But that is indicative of the way Republicans and Libertarians think. "Our way is what's best for everyone and if you don't think so, too bad, we own everyt... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration The case against illegal immigrants' rights: 19 of 62
Illegal means illegal, period. It doesn't mean legal until you're caught. What part of illegal don't they get! I really don't understand how immigration got so out of hand.But it's not just the illegal alien's fault, the wealthy who want cheap labor had to cheat the system so their nannies and farm workers could stay. They co... More..

Location, location, location...........oh, yeah, that's only 3! Ok, how about be smart and be very cautious. For a first-time buyer though, it's very difficult to know what to ask first and who to ask.
