I'm not sure if you can do them separately. Maybe there's a way. I wanted both. I know that for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc., it doesn't show you your risk until you approve it. It'll show you various cancers, diabetes, etc. without approval though.

My husband and I got our 23andme results! Well, I'm still waiting on my ancestry composition, but I have everything else done and he's got everything done (his package inexplicably arrived two days before mine despite leaving here at the same time >.<)

Hi,

Good luck!

A guy once told me at random that he would become a serial killer one day, but that I don't have to worry because he would only go after "fat chicks, because I can do more with their bodies".

Thank you for this. My mom was making all sorts of nasty comments yesterday about how I'm fat now and I used to be so much skinnier. The last time I lived with her my BMI was 17.5. It is now 25 (and I am out of state). I want to lose maybe 5 pounds and I've lost 4 in the past month (BMI was up to , but she keeps…

It's weird because I got 800 reading, 790 writing, and 650 math on the SAT. On the GRE I got 690 verbal, 780 math, and 3.5 writing. I got into 9/10 grad schools I applied to, so obviously it wasn't a problem though. I just don't know what they were expecting that I didn't satisfy.

He tutored for about a year in undergrad, so tutoring is definitely something he's thinking of doing on the side either if he's still searching or takes something part time.

I did a study in the business school this week where they teach you how to weave a basket and you weave a basket. You get $10 for participating and then they try to buy your basket off of you for a random amount between $0 and $10. They offered me $3 and I decided to keep it instead because it's a nice basket.

Glad it worked out for you! He's definitely planning to temp, tutor, and be a subject in psych studies that pay cash while job hunting if his deadline doesn't pan out.

We lived fine on my income for the couple of months before he found his current job. There's not room for anything extra at that point but we've lived that way before. We're lucky (and unlucky) in that my grad student stipend is about 1.5x what he's making and we live in an area that's pretty much average cost of…

I kind of am, but they don't tend to expect any prep from us in advance, for the most part. They're doing lab runthroughs this week since all of the new first years just arrived, so I'm at least hoping that means I'm not teaching any lab I haven't taught before since...hopefully they would have told me so that I could…

I'm applying directly through the academic performance wing of our athletics department, so luckily they pretty much regulate the business side of it as well as keeping them in line about my limits, from what I understand. It's a little less money than I could probably make tutoring on my own, but with (hopefully)…

Oh, I think retail would be my personal hell, too, definitely. But I think he feels that when he's as passionate about something as he is about games, selling things would feel more natural to him.

I brought up teaching, but at this time at least he says he doesn't want to teach. He has an idea that he would love to be able to achieve, but it's opening up a retro game store so it's super risky and would take a ton of investment and time, and we're not anywhere near that point yet. It might be something he wants…

Mountain Dew, for gaming will occur tonight after I get the dishes done...

Definitely. His job while in college was at a dining hall, usually from 7 pm to 3 am, and that was rough on him. This one pays quite a bit more but he doesn't have the kind of friendships here as he did there, since most of the employees there were also college students. Of course it doesn't help that he followed me…

Wow! Glad he was able to find something better. I just hope a last straw doesn't happen before he has a chance to find something. He's at least at this point not willing to take something that pays less without also being a massive reduction in hours. He makes ~18k at this current job, and that's with all the overtime…

I have a LinkedIn profile and I might want to tell him about that. We definitely don't have money saved to deal with this, since we just got back from the honeymoon and I only get paid half in August despite being there the whole month. He has a bachelor's in math with a 3.0 and one year of experience as an assistant…

My husband, who works usually from 5 am to 1 pm, woke me up at 4 am before he was leaving for work to tell me he intends to quit his job in September whether or not he finds a new job or not. I spent pretty much the whole day looking for job openings and sending them to him so he can start applying.
