I found several hiking, backpacking and camping courses at GCC for anyone who is looking for a community college course. They are short classes, almost like workshops.

I'm sure some of the other community colleges have similar courses.

I was thinking about going up there in about a week. What was the temperature like?

I would like to join to if it's a Saturday thing. I'm years overdue for CPR.

I will be out that way on Friday night but I can't make it on a Thursday.

When I was seven, I caught about fifty at Christopher Creek and my dad cooked them for dinner. Not bad!

Though they are a lot of work to eat, I still enjoy catching them. I find it more entertaining than fishing.

Oh! That's so sad... you lived in Nebraska? Just Kidding!! I mean about the dogs, is that true?

Low state-esteem? It's more stylish to live in Arizona than Arkansas!

I like being able to spout off in whatever direction I see fit at the time I guess I didn't think of it that way. In CIS, I have not had the opportunity to write many papers, so the most interesting ones were research papers for english where I could select a non-computer related topic. Don't get m...

I love writing research papers too! As long as it's a topic I enjoy. (So far in college, I haven't had a topic I didn't enjoy)

parents should be responsible for paying all my tuition, books, living expenses etc... I dealt with the same issue when I first applied to ASU at age 18. My dad made too much money fro me to qualify for anything and I wasn't seeing any of that money. Then I got married (and divorced) so I don't hav...

My company pays tuition too, which I am very grateful for! I just wish I was with them when I incurred the first half of my student loans

Become a professor, in many cases they are basically professional students teaching what they are researching. This is something I plan on doing later in life. My plan is 20's = corporate world & get BS; 30's = start small business & get masters and more; 40's = teach and write at least one...

(oh yea, and I do all this while working full time - my wife is a stay at home mom). I need a stay a home man! I find it very difficult to do the cooking and cleaning and nurturing and the working 50 hours per week during the school semester but somehow I manage. I also intend on pursuing multiple ...

I've always gone tent camping but I am looking forward to my first backpacking trip. I think for the first time I will take a tent just in case.

I understand how you feel about being away from your children. My little boy (just under 4 at the time) went on vacation with his father last summer for two weeks and by the second week it was almost unbearable! (of course it doesn't help that I am not completely ok with my ex husband's caretaking s...

I think Taylor is a great name for a girl. It's strong.

Just wondering if anyone is or knows someone who is looking for a roommate. The roommate I had lined up (we were supposed to move this Friday) canceled on me at the last minute (this morning) so I'm in a bit of a situation. :cry: I have already posted on a roommate website but I thought I'd ask here...

WOW! It took me an hour to read this thread and it was worth every minute. I would be interested in a thread about religion! Voltaire said "I may not like what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" and I tend to agree. I think this also applies to beliefs. The...

Curve Ball is mesmerizing. Like 3D Pong!!

OK - Back to work!!

OK - I tried playing the castle game but I'm not getting anywhere. Do you just keep putting the little people into the castle? I don't see a red flag either.
