Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hmm. How about if you held off going to University for a couple of years? Would that work?

OR, if you'd gone to Uni straight from high school, would you be able to be a member of a law firm by the time you were 26?

If someone went to community college for a couple years, then transferred into a 4 year institution, I think they'd still be eligible for financial aid at that point -the system tends to favor, though not exclusively "traditional" timing of graduate high school-go to college.

But I think that community college attendence, a year abroad, and then a 4 year institution could well conspire to have a regular middle class or low-income family person (ie, requiring financial aid) graduating at 25.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yep. If you go the straight route, you could do undergrad 17 or 18 to 21-22, law school another three years. So minimum probably 24, 25 more common.

AHA! Law school! Well, that changes everything. And I point to What Brenda Said.

How about if you held off going to University for a couple of years?

Some folks do, whether to spend time traveling or because they need to work for a while. Some people go into work that doesn't require a college degree, and then later decide they need a degree for a career change. Some people have children while they're teenagers, and have to balance child care and studies. Some folks don't have the high school grades needed to go to a four year university, or they don't have the funding, so they take a class or two a semester at a community college, and then transfer later on. This would extend the time it takes to get their college degree. When I was teaching at Durham Tech (a local community college) I had folks in their 30s taking evening classes and planning to transfer to a four year university. So I think your age options are pretty open.

Y'all rock.

And my story has just veered in a very different direction now, damn it.

(I was so charmed with the notion of trying to stuff Dean Winchester into a Joe Bruin costume and listening to him swear. But it looks like it's not to be.)

Law school it is, then.

or grad school in general. Doesn't *have* to be law. Most grad school programs are 2 years.

(edit- full time programs)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Windsparrow, if your vet is still giving a 3-in-one innoculation "cocktail", vaccinations against three forms of illness in a single syringe, ask him or her to give them separately, and at different injection sites. Vaccination cocktails have been proven the cause of "vaccination site sarcoma." It doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough for most vets not to continue the practice any more.

I've been reading about tumors growing at rabies vaccination sites, hadn't heard about a connection between 3-ways and vaccination site sarcoma. Huh. Innoculation: almost as scary as the diseases they protect against.

If your pet was given a topical flea and tick immunizer, the "dab-on" type, between the shoulder blades, that could also be the culprit in hair loss.

He hasn't had one of those in a couple of years. I don't care how "Safe" they are, he was licking his off, and then doing that ate-something-naaaaassssssssty frothing at the mouth thing. So the injections are the big suspects. Thanks for your ideas and good wishes.

Harvey's got an appointment to go back for a look at the site on Wednesday, that's the soonest we could manage with the vehicles acting up (it's one thing for me to ride my bike to work, and another entirely to ponder putting a cat on the book rack). His appetite, activity level, and mood are all as per usual, so I'm mostly just taking him in to get it checked out. If he develops further symptoms, I can always bump up the appointment and take a cab.

Art Crawl!!!

I think that Dean is supposed to be about 26 which would make Sam - 22?

How old was Dean when their mom died? 4 or 5?

hmm. I just found out that a co-worker's religion bars the celebration of holidays, and thus they co-worker is offended when birthday celebrations are discussed/planned at work.

What religion is this? I desperately want to ask but I think that's illegal or something.
