I heard on the radio this morning that the state of Utah is considering doing away with the 12th grade. It will save the state something like $700 million dollars and many people consider the 12th grade a waste of time. I didn't...

Britt17 That makes sense. So maybe the first half of the year should be applying to college and setting up some sort of internship or career exploration while the second half of the year could be completing the internship. They could even spend time in the first half...

Britt17 I think you and I are on the same page in terms of how an internship would help. The funny thing is, college doesn't really prepare you for the real world either . . . it's more studying. I do think my college education is a valuable thing (or at least it is...

Britt17 Thanks for the insight into an education system that differs from the US. I didn't realize that the UK ended mandatory education at 16. Feel like I learned something new today :-). I can see where there are pros and cons to this. You had to leave earlier than...

After the initial investigation of the luge accident that caused the death of a Georgia Olympic athlete, investigators found the cause of the accident to be human error not an issue with the track. I believe that the president of...

I have read enough to be convinced that it is safe to give dogs peanut butter in small amounts. I have two dogs and one of them is a power chewer. Toys don't last with him. So I bought him one of those extra-tough kongs today (you...

Britt17 Thanks sunyskies. And yea christina, if you stuff it with pb or a treat it definately gets their attention! In fact, I'm thinking of putting both in there to see if it will take him a little longer to finish it off.

Britt17 Thanks Tallygirl. My dogs do seem to enjoy it. We have tried taking him for a walk before we leave but nothing seems to do it unless he is distracted when we are leaving and after. Fortunately he isn't often alone since my stepfather works a different schedule...

Britt17 Thanks! I have Jif, and I checked and it does have a little sugar in it. I will check into an all-natural.

Watching the game, I was kind of happy because I have some Saints merchandise that I am trying to sell on Craigslist, meaning that the prices just went up. Woohoo!! Okay, during the Superbowl, a series of commercials came on,...

Britt17 I was seriously disappointed with this years superbowl commercials. They are pretty much the only reason I watch the game. I think the only good ones were the Doritos one and the e*trade baby. But I could've used more e*trade baby commercials! (And I kinda...

I was watching the news when I saw this story and it is heartbreaking. A 23 year old woman was being stalked by an older man. When she and her husband sought a restraining order for the guy, the judge ruled that they should come...

Britt17 I saw this on the news too. I feel horrible for her husband. They had just had lunch together and had parted ways to head back to work. They played him on the other end of the phone saying something like 'Come on baby keep breathing' and 'We had a restraining...

A hairless sphinx cat was recently given a three hour tattoo session (it was asleep at the time) to have an Egyptian sphinx inked on its chest and neck. Animal right people, and some pet owners, are very angry about...

Britt17 I just found your discussion line but I did see this in an article on a news website weeks ago. I think it's pretty disgusting personally. I don't have any tattoos but I hear they are painful and a lot of work. I saw many people that commented on this that...

Has anyone boycotted watching one tree hill since Lucas and Peyton are now off the show. I realized several of my friends and my sister have done so. I am disapointed they are off the show but still watch.

Britt17 I'm with you. I think the show has actually been better without them. I think they're characters were a little over dramatic. I'm actually enjoying Quinn's character more as she gets more involved. And the Taylor drama was pretty interesting. I actually miss...

Ever since I was a child watching the Peanuts cartoons, I've wanted a beagle. My first two dogs were golden retrievers, which are really great dogs. They are loving and very easy to train. Then I got a beagle. It took my...

Britt17 yes rabbits do make good pets too. I have had several and they can be very sweet if handled often. And they each have their own individual personality.

Britt17 I know, I wasn't surprised but it certainly doesn't give a warm fuzzy feeling. Although I don't think any of her endings have given me a warm fuzzy feeling. I especially enjoyed Nineteen Minutes and The Pact, but they are obviously sad subjects as well. I do...
