special-k, yes, i do need insurance even if i am not traveling. That's something i am also wondering about.

Thorzdad, sure i could check the yellowpages, but this is the age of the internet and information! Is there any advice on what i should look for, maybe even a site that has insurance policy comparisons.. asf.?

So i guess a big question i am left with is whether or not i need both health insurance AND traveling insurance, even if i am staying in the US.

Well.. i do not know of any alternatives, i can only say, try to get the interest of other genres drawn to the site? I am not much into rap either, but i am into rock asf., so i will be checking out the site now.. At least you've got one other, now.

So she is not lesbian? That's the only way i can make sense of why you do not want to pursue this.

A google search for "eating while drinking" (without quotes) comes up with some articles mentioning your same thought, but so far no real proof.

I noticed this too when i was copying files over the network from my Ubuntu desktop to my Ubuntu laptop. I have DD-WRT on my WRT54G router.

So it doesn't really answer the question, but another experience may help to substantiate /some/ theory.

I would actually try cutting out caffeine. It only helps short term--and usually just to get back to a normal state (because after a bit of frequent caffeine use, one is addicted, and so the "pick-me-up" affects are really just alleviating withdrawal symptoms). Also, what's your diet like? Certain foods are naturally better for waking up, like fruits. You might also try meditation at various points in the day.

I do not really understand what is meant by the left side of a page.. but the way i use notebooks is by working through them in what is normally a backwards way, using what is considered the "back side" of the sheet (when the holes are to the right). Is that what you mean? I do this because i am left handed and the binding does thus not get in the way.

Is that really a good idea? I would at least be careful who you let scan your mail..

At this point I probably wouldn't go to university without the scholarship.

I have considered going to university in Europe, but I didn't know how possible it was. Maybe my view about it was distorted in that I didn't think it was a possibility for me.

I really appreciate all the advice. I'm going to re-read the posts so far to synthesize and collate as much as I can. I've read some really good stuff.

A note to those wondering where I am: I would/will be going to Arizona State University.
