I'm thinking of perhaps downgrading to an older car, since the theory is that the insurance will be cheaper, even if I maintain full insurance (every option, not just liability). If I do this, it'd probably be a 1988-1991 model, just under 20 years old. I know that lower mileage is almost...

This hasn't happened in a while (at least six months), but a couple times in the past some people have accused me of using crack. Common traits I've noticed among those people are those who are punks and they almost always seem to be blue-collar (no offense to blue collar people, but it's...

OK, this is probably a dumb question, but what I'm wondering about is: If you go out on a night on the town, and it's late (after 10:30), do people assume you're dressing up or trying to show off? To be honest, I never do that. I dress exactly the same way when I go out as when I do...

Lately I've been trying to think of ways to spend less, and to do that you have to give up something. It's easier to give up something if the benefit wasn't that great, and the cost of exit isn't too bad. When trying to think of it, I noticed that the savings would be large. But, it's easy...

I'm just wondering. Sometimes I see couples, yet I have to wonder how they met? I've never had a girlfriend so far, and you'd think that I've been on this planet long enough that it would've happened to me at least once. I know everyone's story is a little different, but I'm still...

OK, I'm going to be going to a new school this summer. The enrollment is about 10-11K. I searched on Myspace just to see the number of results, using the "school" criteria (those who put the school into their profiles). The numbers I get add up to about half the student population (5,500 or...

Currently I'm a college student. I'm also going to be living alone. My father is upset because living alone costs more than living with someone else, since it's financially cheaper to divide the cost of a two or three bedroom two ways. Even though I know this, I think that the advantages...

When I go to bars and clubs, I seemed to have noticed this. Anyone else notice this too? Often I go out alone, but it doesn't seem to be very common.

I'm wonder what everyone's thoughts are with this. I want advice to help make a decision. Soon, I'm moving away to another town. I'm a college student, and I'm going to need to get an apartment. The question I have is whether or not I should try to find a complex that has a lot of college...

OK, perhaps this isn't the best forum for this, but people have on a few occasions made posts regarding computers, so why not? I'm wondering why the battery light still comes on, though in only circumstances. To better illustrate the problem, I'll give some background, starting with when I...

I've never had a girlfriend or a relationship, though at my age it's rare, and it gets rarer as time goes on. Plus I'm fairly sure that I don't fit the profile of someone who never dates, though it's true. I sometimes think of trying to pursue that, and then I wonder if I'm not just like a...

In my "Plan C?" thread I mentioned that very recently I completed an Associate's Degree. Now I'm having to consider going to a four year college to complete my education. I see this as an opportunity to ditch this town. I figure that there's no better time, and the older I get the harder it...

My father often says that I need to get some "salable" skill for a job. What he means is something like CNA training (so I can help old people with Alzheimer's take a dump) or a CDL (so I can drive in a big truck and be unable to do the things I want, unless it's a rare 8-5 job). Our...

Wow. A girl actually asked me to do this just this Saturday. I thought this sort of things only happens in movies. I asked her why I should buy her a drink. She said that it's because she's hot. Honestly she didn't look too bad, but the nerve! She asked a guy (me) that she doesn't know...

I have been without a job for an extremely long time. If it weren't for my parents, I'd be goodness knows where doing who knows what. It seems to be extremely difficult for me to find a job. So I'm interested in ways to make money that don't involve a job. I don't mean to say that I'm...

If and when I marry, I know that it'll be a very careful, thought-out decision. I'll only marry if I think that she's a really good fit for me. However, given the crazyness of society today, I think that it'll take me longer to find her, if I ever find her. My concern is that I've heard...

There's this young lady I think I like. I know at least I'd like to meet up with her and get to know her a little better. She works at a coffee shop, which I frequent. I typically go there thrice a week, sometimes a fourth time. However she doesn't seem to work much, since I might see her...

Repeatedly I've been told this. I'm still trying to understand why. I'm not the least bit religious, and I drink alcohol. Normally when I hear the word "uptight," I think of a devoutly religious man who never drinks. Sometimes these people have even said that women don't want an "uptight"...

The other day I was at a friend's place and I happened to meet this girl that I've never seen before. She said something that no other girl has ever said to be before, at least not within the first week of my meeting them. She said: "Do you have a girlfriend?" Please, tell me that...

Anyone here attend Illinois State, U of I, or simply live in or near the area? A couple (somewhat) major towns are Normal, Bloomington, Peoria, Urbana, and Champaign. Some other schools around here are Illinois Wesleyan University, Heartland Community College, and Lincoln Community...
