msbelle, Coursera has some great courses, and most (some? all?) do require work. Plus, they're free.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

I think shrift has done a fair bit of that stuff? Others too I'm sure.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
msbelle, I have taken classes through my local community college that I guess I could get a certificate for, I don't remember how that worked but it wasn't counting towards anything just would be, like, completed this course. It's around $100/6 week class I think?
Oh, I also did a couple of classes through iTunes U, that might be worth looking at.
A coworker has been talking up Craftsy to me, she really likes their courses. Haven't looked at them myself.

I don't think my local cc does things online, but I will check. I'll also look at iTunes and Craftsy. Thanks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, Trump has fired Comey. What is coming next in this shitshow?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S has been whiny since we got home. And yet, more mature than Trump.

So I think the #6-8 of hottest heads of state are overrated (Albania, Iceland, and Greece). But number 10, from Benin? Smoking hot, 19 from Ghana should also be higher. As should 28, Slovenia. 45, Argentina? He's got a little something going on. Maybe just that the photo they have of him isn't in a suit and tie. But still. How does the Taoswhateve of Ireland rank below the pope, Prince Albert of Monaco, and Shinzo Abe of Japan? The Emperor of Japan is hotter than Shinzo Abe even if he's very old.
And I dig 72, from a Belgium, with his hipster glasses and goatee. Maybe not competition of Trudeau, but definitely higher than 72!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hivemind - has anyone taken an online class NOT toward s degree or certificate and not part of a multi-class program. I am looking for like a continuing ed thing, cheap, but something that would require me actually doing homework.
I've done classes on both Coursera and EdX (mostly palaeontology on the former, Chinese history on the latter. I think Hil's used another MOOC provider too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Argh. My brother finally got ahold of my uncle. My aunt is in bad shape and doesn't want to see anyone besides my uncle. She doesn't know my sister and I are on our way there. My uncle will talk to her and find out if she wants to see us.
At least my uncle wants to see us and is happy we'll be there. But I may have some spare time to visit bay-area folks. I posted something to f2f.
