  • If you enjoy working in the education field you could consider looking into becoming a classroom aide at some point (when you're daughter's education situation changes). States differ but most states just require a high school diploma but you'll make more with an associates degree. You also get access to the retirement plans that teachers have and have all school vacations off so you can care for your daughter when she isn't in school. It's just something to think about. Where I am there is a shortage of aides.

  • Everyone's situation is different. I work two jobs and thankfully my wife doesn't anymore but she was working two jobs. It can be very hard to get ahead sometimes. If your financial situation improves I'd highly recommend looking into retirement savings. $10 a week in a 401k over 45 years gives you over $165k & if you have access to company matching funds that cuts your investment with the same results or doubles your savings. Like I said if you're able. Maslow's hierarchy comes first: food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, and sleep (well I sacrifice sleep a lot unfortunately).

  • Your financial decisions are your own but I would strongly - strongly advise you to think about your retirement as soon as possible. I have a 401k and a Roth IRA and I shovel as much of my weekly paycheck as I can. If I had started younger, say early twenties, I could have put significantly less money in there and have the same retirement savings now.

    Time is much more important than money.

  • That would be wonderful. I just don't know how we make that happen.

  • Those jobs exist right now though. There's a national shortage of corrections officers. What's keeping women from those jobs right now?

  • Playing devil's advocate. What would your solution be if they couldn't hire enough female guards?

  • They're in a TNG episode. The symbiote controls the host in that episode too. It isn't a blending.

  • It's television. Things can happen. Trills didn't originally have spots either. They just changed it.

  • I wonder if his slogan was, "vote for me or I'll kill you and your whole family"

  • So let's imagine a DS9 sequel series or TV movie is green lit and you're the producer. Does Jadzia come back? If so how? Or does Terry Farrell come back in some other way? Or is she not in it at all?

  • I agree completely. The church could put certain restrictions on it if they wanted. For example, all relationships need to be approved, only priests and nuns can marry, you need to have already been a priest for a certain time before you can get married, etc. I don't think it'll happen in the near future unfortunately.

  • He was a childhood hero my mine as well. I wanted to be on reading rainbow so bad as a kid.

  • So there are two things at play here: rights and opinions. Legal rights in America are based on the constitution and the decisions made by the supreme Court. I'm not saying that they're correct or not; justified or not; or ethical or not. I'm just making a statement of fact that's where rights originate from in US law.

    Opinions can be based on whatever you want. You are free to agree with or disagree with both the Constitution and the supreme Court. You can consider them valid or invalid institutions.

    I'm not trying to tell you that you should be of a particular opinion or not.
