My daughter pretended to go to college classes and didn't
By: mom23 | 07-07-2008
My young adult (20 yr. old) daughter who practically had perfect attendance/good grades all through school, is struggling in college. She lives 2 hours away at the University. What I mean by struggling is, she did fine the first two years, then the whole 3rd year we just found out, she received 0 credits. She would schedule herself for classes every quarter, even ask us for book money for her classes, then eventually drop or just quit going to the classes, resulting in F's or 0. Her first two years her grades were good, we saw them. The 3rd year, she always told us everything was going good, her grades were good, we just took her word for it.We suspected she might not be doing well, since she never actually showed us her grades, but we were going to let her handle it, rather than hover over her, to try and teach her problem solving skills, etc. This summer after she came home, she asked if she could live at the University for the summer, work and take summer classes. Since this is typical for most seniors, we said sure. We asked to see her grades and to make sure she was on track to graduate on time, etc. In the meantime, we moved her to her new apartment, got new furniture for her, etc. We called her and asked her to let us know about her grades, so she gave us her password to check online to see her grades. Well when we looked, she had 0 credits for the whole junior year. We were so upset, my husband immediately called her and said what is going on?? She said I had a bad year, I was afraid to tell you, I thought I could handle it myself and I didn't want you to find out, because I promise I will do better now and that won't happen again. And my husband said, of course it won't happen again, if you miss one class, drop one class, or make another F, you are moving back home immediately. My husband and I have been sick worried over her now. I am worried about drugs now and all kinds of things. My imagination has gone crazy. I don't know who I can talk to because I am almost embarrassed this happened right under our noses. I am so scared. Please advise me. Thank you so much.

Ant vs Elephant, Ant has a case?
By: instaloans | 06-07-2008
Of an Ant and an Elephant,Once upon a time there was not just a big, but a very big jungle under the scope of a tiny Ant?s eye. The Ant was enormously curious about the jungle but this jungle was not only big, but very big under the tiny Ant?s eye. The Ant spent all of his time wondering how he could see it all, but the jungle, it sometimes seemed, was too big for this tiny Ant with the big curiosity.The Ant, trusting in the Lord, was always very sure that what he wanted he would get. And one day, very late in the day?another day that the Ant had spent pondering his problem?he came up with an idea. This idea could solve his problem and allow him to see more of the jungle. He would make a very special pair of shoes for his tiny feet. These shoes would allow him to do things he normally could never do, like walk through water and fly as Aladdin flew on the magical carpet.So the Ant started working on the shoes. Using ordinary materials he found in the jungle around him, he worked day by day, knowing that the Lord was with him.With the help of the Lord, the Ant completed the very special shoes that would allow him to journey through the big fascinating jungle.But a rumor soon spread across the entire jungle that an Ant was about to conquer the jungle with surety. All of the giants of the jungle, especially those giants among giants?the elephants?heard this rumor about the bodacious little Ant.One day the Ant tried on the shoes for the first time and found that they really worked! The first thing he did was to cross the stream next to where he lived.While this stream seemed very small to the large animals, like the elephants, to the tiny Ant it seemed very big. In fact, as the Ant crossed the stream, he felt like a giant as one of the elephants, who without any fear, crushed through the waters of the stream everyday. The Ant enjoyed his journey across the stream, and when he found he could cross it as easily as the elephants did, he returned home and hid his shoes where no one else could find them.Feeling bigger, the Ant grew bold and begins peeking at the large elephants. Then one day, while busy peeking at the elephants, the Ant fell in love with the beautiful big eyes of one elephant in particular who felt for the tiny Ant and guided him. The Ant with his big ideas thought that by winning the big heart of his very big love, his new jungle shoes and his new love could together help him conquer the entire jungle.But the very next day the Ant woke up and discovered his shoes were gone. With a heavy heart, the Ant started looking everywhere for his missing shoes.But the Ant still peeked at the elephants as he searched for his shoes and, much to his surprise; he discovered that one of the elephants had stolen his shoes. The giant elephant kept the shoes under his big feet so he could cross a stream so big that even elephants could not cross it.Now the mighty elephant became as confident wearing the shoes as the Ant had been. The elephants would not listen to the little Ant?s request to return the shoes and the Ant asked them several times to return the shoes. So the Ant took the matter to the lions. But the lions could not help because they had to guard their kingdom and helping the Ant would result for them to loose their royal position in the jungle. The Ant then desperately asked his fellow ants for help. But the other ants would not help, because they did not have much faith in themselves or in the Lord and they thought they were too smart to mess with the giants of the jungle and that no ant could ever conquer the jungle.After receiving no help from anyone, the Ant decided that he had four choices to get his stolen shoes back and that the elephants also had two choices regarding the shoes.The Ant listed his choices as follows.Choice number one: He could challenge the mighty elephant for a fight, he said to himself proudly, ?Who says an ant cannot fight with an elephant.?Choice number two: He could forget about the shoes and become friends with the elephant. ?The shoes would not work for the elephant anyway, so he will lose interest in them.?Choice number three: He could win over his very big love and together they could conquer the jungle. ?Love is power,?? he said.Choice number four: He could have an eagle ask the sky to decide who should have the shoes: the elephants or the ant. ?Leave it to the Lord,? he said.The Ant also understood that the elephant had options too. He understood that the elephant could either crush him under its big foot or make friends with him and agree to share or return the shoes.The Ant chose option number four and had an eagle ask the sky to resolve the matter of dispute between them.According to the eagle, the sky said, ?To conquer is to join the devil and that is the devil sense. To love is to join God if your love is clean and that is the God?s sense.And to be a good friend, it is to enjoy the sense of good humor.?The mighty elephant has yet to exercise his option, while the Ant has yet to get his shoes back...The last time I saw the Ant, it was at Starmugs Hacienda. He was chasing sugar and seeking refuge. Ant has a case? Copyright material. Please do not copy, edit, alter parts or in whole. Thank you.

Would there be any harm to a private business enterprise if they keep their whole (monthly) budget open to the public?
