    Saw "Hamilton" last night

    Oh I did. I did change it. I still stand by this though. But I do find it funny you're getting me on me for correctly defining the word fiction. And then asserting your own right to be offended by that. You can think I'm wrong. I can think I'm right. Whatever, its the internet, you know?

    Saw "Hamilton" last night

    I didn't see that as trying to make someone feel dumb. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that think it IS fiction in the general sense of the word. That is completely made up, not an artistic version of true events. I mean, if that were fiction then basically all biographies, tv...

    I think I'm going to stop posting for awhile

    I do! What's your fav? We can trade! :) And OP: maybe a better response would be to allow yourself to be upset offline. And then either quietly disengage or try again with a different sort of post. I agree, the cast member post read a bit mean, like you were glad you upset the poor person. I...

    Tax Act alternative

    Actually, this year you don't have to pay for state. They try to make it look like you do by putting up misleading ads every other page that highlight the pay options. But just click through and you can do personal taxes for fed and state for free. Just finished it the other day, actually...

    Pittsburgh, Pa Suggestions

    If they are geeky/bookloving gremlins, I'd say hit the library. The main branch is GORGEOUS. I could spend years there. There are also a lot of cool museums that always have stuff going on. I'd say if you are into shopping or just getting a sense of the city culture wander down to the Strip...

    How do you purchase on line books to read

    I was just going to suggest Bookbub! And I would say get the Amazon kindle first newsletter and their kindle deal newsletter. You can also check for bundles of series on Amazon. Publishers tend to set the same price across stores like Google or Amazon so I wouldn't expect to see any differences...

    Can you order from another country's Amazon.com?

    It depends on the seller. I've ordered from Amazon.co.uk before but only from sellers that say they ship to the US. And of course you have to pay customs and whatever the difference in currency is at the time you buy. Or you can wait til the US dollar is strong against whatever other currency...

    Personal? When Did You Know You Didn't Want Kids?

    I think I've always known, it just took me a while to make peace with it. There is an overwhelming pressure to have kids, particularly for women. And that's not right. Children deserve parents who unequivocally want them. And not everyone wants a kid! Its also not selfish to be child-free. There...

    What is an "A" in your school? Is it over 80 percent or over 90 percent?

    What an interesting thread! In high school, it was 90-92% for an A. In college its 90%-95% depending on the class. I wish they would just be consistent. But that;s a rant for another day.

    Kids and Grades

    That's a completely fair policy for the teacher. If they have more than about 10 kids to grade I'd say that it would be overwhelming to check on their grades. I'm speaking from my experience with good friends who are teachers. They do so much. Besides, its a good habit for her to get into to...

    Child just diagnosed with ADHD - help and advice please!

    I'm sorry! Yea it is overwhelming but it can also be a relief to someone with ADHD. I am adult who was just diagnosed, and it is a big weight off to know that I'm not stupid, lazy or anything like that. My brain just works differently. You are doing a great thing in taking the symptoms and...

    Roku for dummies. Can you please explain the pros and cons of Roku?

    Yea, apps aren't really like channels, like other people said. For news just read it online and find the website of the news channel I like. Its more up to the minute anyway. Roku has all kinds of apps for different channels - CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, PBS etc all have their own app. Some are free...

    Someone explain Tsum Tsums please

    They are kinda like the Beanie Baby crazy way back in the day. They release new ones all the time, because that's an excellent way to market them. Usually they release new ones around the the release date of a new movie. Eg Big Hero 6 ones when the movie came to video. Some of them will be...

    FAFSA for 2017

    Probably the delay. All scholarships are on a first-come first-serve basis. And never, ever trust the school to fill it out for you. Sorry about that :/. I just had to go round and round with my school about financial aid and their office is comparatively well run!

    FAFSA for 2017

    You have to fill it out to get federal loans. And as far as need based, she'll definitely get them when she is off your taxes. And she might get it now, depending on the school and their rules. And, just to check, you did fill it out on www.fafsa.ed.gov, right? Also go to studentloans.gov.

    does/should your hairstylist work on 2 clients at once?

    Of course. All hairstylists do this. Its a waste of their time and their clients otherwise. And, they'd lose money. They are paid per client, not per hour. I think I'd be nervous if I went to someone who only had one person at a time. I'd assume they weren't very good at their job, honestly. You...
