It must be nice! Meanwhile, I'm barely able to afford the one-bedroom apartment I'm currently in. But that is why I'm busting my butt trying to get a Bachelor's Degree, so I can get a better paying job and give me and my husband and our soon-to-be baby girl a life where we don't live paycheck to paycheck.

It is Arby's! I love their jalapeno poppers with the sweet dipping sauce they provide, and their sandwiches are delicious as well! Too bad the nearest one from me is like 40 miles away....they used to much closer when I lived in New Jersey!

Hm, mostly hockey and maple syrup! I'm sure there is a lot more to Canada than just those two things, but I've never been there, so I don't have any firsthand experience. Maybe one day!

My favorite animals are cats. I just love how independent and unique they are. They can be playful, or lazy, or both! They can be snuggly and cuddly, or just want to be looked at and not touched! I have a cat, his name is Bojangles. I adopted him when he was 2 months old. That was back a few years ago when I was married to my ex, and we wound up divorcing and I moved back home with my parents and took Bojangles with me. Then I met my current husband who lives in Massachusetts, and I moved up here from New Jersey. There was no way I could take Bojangles with me, so my parents offered to keep him and take care of him, and I am very grateful that they did. Now when I visit them, I spend time with him and even though it's hard for me to leave him when I have to return home to Massachusetts, I know I will get to see him again.

For every life, there must be a death, and for every death, there must be a life. It is a cycle. I just hate to see people suffer from medical complications or other tragedies. I wish the world was fair, I wish there was no murder or cancer or anything else that makes people suffer. I wish when it was your time to go, you knew, and it would be peaceful. But life isn't fair, and I've watched many people I love die in ways that I wouldn't even want to wish on my own worst enemy. But I keep my faith in God and Heaven, and hope that one day, we will meet again.

Off-Topic / Re: Cleaning ladies !

I never had a professional cleaning service clean for me, so I can't really answer that part of your question. But I have heard that they can be rather pricey. Back when I was a teen, I would offer to clean my relatives' houses for like $20 for the whole day. I mean, when your 14, have no job, and want a new video game, every little bit helps! So I used to go on the weekends to clean mainly my grandmother's house, but sometimes my aunt's or my cousin's. I wouldn't mind picking up a cleaning job as a second source of income, but with a baby on the way, it's probably not the smartest idea.

Well, I can't make any predictions, but I can hope that it is either the New York Mets, or the Boston Red Sox. I was born and raised in New Jersey, so my favorite team is the Mets and they are who I root for first and foremost. But in 2015, I moved up to Massachusetts to be with my then-boyfriend now-husband, and of course, he is a Sox fan, so I will support the Sox, but only when the Mets are out of it. I have always hate a strong disliking for the New York Stankees, woops, I mean Yankees!

Don't feel bad...I got asked the question of whether or not I agree to keep all information confidential, and when I clicked "yes", I got disqualified. So apparently they don't want honest people! Or my favorite is when it's specifically a survey for women, and when asked my gender, I select "female" and then still get disqualified! I'll never understand how they determine who gets into the survey and who doesn't.

I prefer hot to cold. I've always enjoyed warmth, and anything below 68 degrees makes me cold! I'll stand under the hot water in my shower for a long time, just because the warmth relaxes me. On sunny days in the summer, I will actively seek out a spot under the sun. For me, the cold is just dreary and depressing.

« on: February 28, 2018, 09:22:07 am »Message ID: 1200176

Yes. I don't care if I'm home or not, you never know who will want to unexpectedly come in with bad intentions. Luckily, our apartment building has a locked exterior door which makes me feel a little safer. But in all honesty, half the time the thing is propped open with a rug or something for people who are too lazy to bring their key with them when they step out. That is an open invitation for someone to come in and wreak havoc. We haven't had any problems in the time we lived there, so hopefully it stays that way!

Hoodies during the cold months, and t-shirts during the warm months! Unfortunately, I don't get those options at work though. I have to wear semi-formal tops like blouses. But as soon as I get home, it's back to my favs!

Yes, it is rather frightening how fast things are going. I'm expecting my first baby in May, and man is the time flying! I feel like I'm still so unprepared, and still have so much to take care of before she arrives. I look at the calendar, and it's February, next thing I know, it's March, then April, then May!

Well, this is a bit morbid. But if I had to choose a way to go, I'd want it to be in my sleep. I don't want to suffer in any pain. But seriously, who really wants to think about their own death?

My window rattling when the wind picks up. I don't know why it does that, but it is the most annoying sound in the world. We sleep with a fan on every night, and even with the noise coming from the fan, that stupid window still rattles as soon as the wind blows!

I don't really have a "favorite". But some of the ones I enjoy watching are American Pickers, Antiques Roadshow, Forensic Files, and SpongeBob Squarepants! In all honesty, I'm not much a TV person. I'd rather actively be doing something. My other hobbies involve reading and playing video games. Oh, and can't forget about taking surveys here on Fusion Cash!
