The American Election Sep 30, 2008: I definitely have my opinions about who should be the next US president, but I want to encourage everyone to learn as much about the candidates as they can and make an informed decision. Even if you are too young to cast a vote, unfortunately a lot of the future decisions of the country affect young people as much or more as they do the older crowd. So even though you cannot cast a vote on election day, you can still talk to others who can and encourage them to make a good, informed choice.; Points: 47 22 comments
Glad we're not really in a house together Sep 22, 2008: This is one of those times I'm so so glad I'm only virtually living and competing with you guys because I am really sick. It would be bad if I spread it to all of you. I'm not sure what I have yet, but it is bad. I barely made it through work today. (I know, I know, I should not have gone when I was sick, but it is such a hassle to come in at 4 a.m. and write lesson plans.) Any of you doctors or nurses out there? Here are my symptoms: super sore throat, headaches, body aches, hot sweats (when I'm fully medicated), chills (when my ibuprofin wears off) and tiredness (but I can't sleep). I might stop by the doc on the way home, but I have a feeling they'll say, "just a cold, carry on."; Points: 0 4 comments
Tengaged and age Sep 20, 2008: So I've gotten some criticism about being an old fart on here and that's fine, people are entitled to their opinions. Honestly, shouldn't everyone have better things to do than play this game, regardless of their age? Maybe people who are retired or independently wealthy should be the only ones allowed to play? I will tell you this, I have a very full life. Lately it has become a little less full, since I have finished my masters degree and we are fully moved in to a new home. I've had a little more free time, with which I chose to play this game. I usually read when I have free time, but the library in our new town is awful and I can't afford a bunch of new books until we sell our old house and I pay off my degree. It's really not too hard to feed a baby or watch Sesame Street and read some chat posts at the same time. Last time I checked there was no age limit for Internet use or tengaged, so I'm fee to do as I please. If you don't like it, that's fine, you don't have to. We'll see if you feel the same way when you're 34.; Points: 42 31 comments
