  1. I will take it if Dustin passes!
  2. Planning to attend, pending no unforseen conflicts! Can't wait!
  3. That's awesome, congrats to you! I know where I will be spending my birthday money.
  4. Looks like aptasia to me. Better get some aptasia killer before it spreads all over the tank. We have tons of worms like you described. They are tiny little feather dusters, they filter feed. They help keep your water clean and I think they are something interesting to watch. We have a ton of them growing on the glass in our refugium. you can scrape them away but they aren't harmful. This is my best guess.
  5. Actually, he sold it to me. We took a lot of things off his hands, and the clam was one of them. We took it to RCA on Wednesday. They said it was some kind of oyster.
  6. lol, renman, you are too right. I do administrative work where I am employed. It makes me never want to move up in the industry. All I have to say about waiting tables is this. When I lived in KS as a full time waitress and student, I claimed 800 bucks a month and made 1200. It is much different just a few states away, but it still helps me with the FAFSA every year. As for the OP, I think your only option is to offer odd jobs, online, craigslist, etc. Offer to help people move people, do yard work. What handyman talents do you have?
  7. Actually, the POS system forces you to claim all of your credit card tips minus the amount of money you had to tip out to the restaurant. Yes folks, waitstaff pay to have their jobs. 3% of my sales at my job. (that means when you tip 15%, I take home 12%...) Each month I tip out about 300 bucks to the restaurant. Much like strippers. *shakes head in shame*
  8. Umm, yeah, I'm the one with the reef obsession. He just supports my jewelry habit.
  9. Aha! Second problem: girlfriend. Being one myself, I know how much we tend to cost a guy. Cougar hunting all the way.
  10. Oh, also, selling things on ebay or craigslist has always helped me get some cash when I needed it.
  11. Being a waitress through college was what kept me eligible for financial aid. Waitresses make crap on paper, and you take home all the cash you make. My taxes are paid by the 2.13 an hour, and I usually get a nice refund in April. I had to keep this job because my wages were being garnished for certain reasons, but I was still able to pay my bills in cash and go to school. I didn't have a bank account for 2 years, but my wages as a waitress couldn't be garnished because what the company paid me was less than 25% of my income. Seriously, I've been working in restaurants for 10 years, and most of the people that keep those jobs are in situations like yours where they need to keep the money they make and not hand it over to someone else. And most restaurant managers understand that too. I think your main problem is paying 500 bucks a credit hour to go to school. I got one degree from a state school and I am now going back to a jr college to save money. It costs me 650 a semester to take 12 credit hours, 1300 bucks a year! Those classes are the same on paper, and you only have to take the last 60 hours from the college where you want to receive your degree. With one degree under my belt and two more on the way, I can't tell you how much this advice would have helped me out 7 years ago. If it makes you feel any better, people are struggling for money all over the country, and the cost of education just keeps going up. You aren't alone.
  12. Thanks for everything you all passed on to me, sorry so belated! I bought a copy of that book you all recommended and have had my nose deep in it ever since it arrived! Everything looks good so far in the tank. THANKS AGAIN!!!
  13. As a regular pedicure customer, I think that's gross.
