Additional fee? That's outrageous, as much as a degree costs these days I can't imagine having to pay extra. We technically payed a health fee in addition to tuition that covered the health services you mentioned... maybe it included the gym. But as far as I'm aware you didn't really have a choice, like the…

We had a huge and very modern gym with indoor and outdoor pools. The library also loaned cds and dvds, although I know most public libraries do this as well. There was also tons of free entertainment. Whenever we were bored we could just walk through the center of campus and find something to do. We also took…

I now check every cat related post for a few words from TCHQ.

You, sir, are my hero. I did this with Harviestoun Ola Dubh last year, except that it was the same beer aged 6 months in 6, 12, 18, and 30 year old whisky casks. The flight also threw in some Old Engine Oil for comparison.

Same place had the Bourbon County Stout and I am pissed at myself for only getting two. I…

Along the same lines, you're missing out if you haven't had the Sixth Glass. I admit I'm partial to dark Belgians, but it's a much more affordable option to something like Rochefort or St. Bernardus and almost as good.

Ehhh... I had a cheapo stylus that I got from a job fair somewhere that just had the plastic ball at the end. When it finally wore out after a few months I sprung for one of these, I believe based on reading from wirecutter. I admit it is extremely accurate and feels very sturdy, for someone that does actual work on…

As a military spouse I fully agree that the actual servicemen's pay is fair and competitve, especially considering the tax/heath benefits. However, I think the main issue is that the military lifestyle plays a huge role in the employement of their spouse. That serviceman's pay doesn't look nearly as good in a single…

I feel like I probably know you. Me and my wife both have masters in music performance and she's lucky enough to be a musician in the AF. We've moved 3 times in 5 years and in that time I've been unemployed about half of it, worked various part time jobs, one soul-sucking full time job, and now finally a job I think…

"Poor financial planning by junior soldiers, the difficulty for spouses to hold steady jobs amid base transfers and deployments, and the higher costs of living in some states."

My house is wired for both Verizon FIOS and Cox cable, plus any satellite/DSL options. So yes, I'm including it all together and should have been more clear. Cox is the only true cable option.

I'm guessing you haven't been looking for a job recently. I say this since I graduated in 2007 and then again with a masters in 2009. It was impossible to get a job then. I worked two part time jobs for a while, then worked a job requiring no degree. I now have a job that only requires an associates degree.

I live in the Hampton Roads area and have Verizon FIOS. I started with a 75/35 connection and routinely got about 80/38. Only during peak hours would it slow down to about 65/30.

Now poor half that bottle in a glass and fill it up with half a glass of Founder's Porter. You can thank me later. I actually had this at a beer fest this weekend and was quite surprised at how good it was.

Same experience here. Always max out whatever connection I'm on. First I had a 75 mb FIOS and just downgraded to 50, but no matter the time or day I get a maxed out connection. I was originally using Tweaknews and would only get about 10 mb down half the time, that issue hasn't occurred since I switched.

Wrong thread... sorry.

I did a graduate degree straight out of undergrad. I was almost 24 with a Master's degree and no work experience, but I assumed that a grad degree was enough to get me in the door. That was 5 years ago and I've worked several part time jobs, a full time job that I hated for a year and now finally into a career that…

I'm doing this right now at work.... and obviously commenting on LH, so maybe it isn't so productive?

I do the exact same thing about 3 times a week with 3 cats.

Hampton, VA. It's actually the beach on the Chesapeake Bay, but it's basically the ocean without the waves. There is a salt pond marina between our street and the bay and the houses on the marina and actually on the bay start at 600k and go up quickly. But on one side of our street is an old road with tiny houses…

And this is why we are currently waiting on a house to be built for us. It's 5 blocks from the ocean yet is one of the few areas in the town that doesn't require flood insurance. It's got a new 30 year roof, new plumbing/electrical, and no issues left behind by the former owners. I'm a bit of a neat freak and can't…
