Here, at least, nursing pays a lot better than social work, and there are quite a lot of loan forgiveness programs out there. Nursing school is an ASN or BSN -- should cost as much as social work, except of course the bit of money you have to pay for uniforms and stethoscopes and the like...

We had a similar problem. Couldn't afford to bank it, in our case, and we couldn't find anyone to take it. The kits they send out to people banking them cannot be sent out to those donating it, the people taking donations don't do that.

They said differently in 2001. Interesting.

Even the ones with your shrink suck. I took one that made it sound like I was bi-polar. Asked if anyone said I talked too fast. Of course; I just moved from NYC to the Midwest. EVERYONE thought I talked too fast. And if you've ever been down or blue? DEPRESSION. Even if you had good reasons, like a divorce, or death, or something similar. I walked away from that shrink and never looked back. Being from NYC makes you manic, and miscarrying makes you depressive.

Your father was wrong. I somehow am not allowed to play M rated games, despite being 40 years old, if I have children with me? Am I not allowed to buy alcohol, birth control or donuts, either? Granted, your dad worked at Wal-Mart, which probably wouldn't sell me the birth control with or without children...but the point is, I am a mature, responsible adult, and I like to play video games. I also have the self control to play them appropriately, and don't need some stranger deciding for me that I'm not allowed to own it. As you said, there is such a thing as games for adults. As an adult, I should be allowed to play that game, without interference from your father. Unless he felt like babysitting for me for free? Special needs child as well, he'd need additional training, much more than his Wal Mart job! Ridiculous. You should be embarrassed to tell this story. Your father is an ass.

Look into how much Facebook makes off of (nursing) moms. It's not too smart to upset them. I'm sure the ads I see are a LOT different than you do.

Facebook is filled with networks of mothers. A lot of ads cater to them. They make money off of mothers. I cannot believe the number of ignorant comments to this thread -- more so than the average slashdot thread. But then, this is one where women would understand more than men, and parents more than people who are childfree. Still, I'd expect at least a few more enlightened people who understand basic human biology, laws pertaining to breastfeeding, the amount of women (especially mothers) who are are the internet, and other things outside the little slashdot world. I was wrong. I'm used to diversity, I guess. I suggest the mothers contact the people who are paying facebook to reach us. Why should we buy products from companies that support a place like facebook? Mothers are a POWERFUL force as far as consumers are concerned. This might not end the way some of you expect it will.

YEah, my neighsbor said he pissed in public and got arrested and put on the list. LAter on I found he sexually assaulted a 14 year old -- after he was picked up again for assaulting a 16 year old. But hey, yeah, he "pissed on a bush". I can understand not trusting the government, but that doesn't mean that you can trust the criminal, either. Don't let your hate for the government mean your common sense goes out the window.
