So.....

A Terabyte is 1000 Gigs.
Here's a clue -
I rent movies from my local outlet and sometimes buy them from pawnshops. I usually make a digital copy and store them on an external hard drive.
In this case, I have a 2 Terabyte hard drive and have over 2000 movies stored on it. So far, it's about 75% full. I figure it will hold about 2500 movies. So -
1,250 movies of audio/video data is a lot of digital data to store on a one TB hard drive. This has took me years to fill, so I don't think you're going to make your capacity.
Also, you may want to re-evaluate your 30 gig phone plan, you'd be surprised how much you don't need (try half if they offer that plan)
Like Padre says, their introductory is sweeter than their standard rate. Find out how much different it is.
Most customers get pinched by proud servers, but they won't do anything about it - they just keep bending over.
There is NO reason, no excuse, that the cost of communications is as high as it is. It's ALL greed based operations.

Agree in the assessment of greed based; and communication should be cheaper for sure. Remember the days when we had to lool someone or something up in a phone book? Those phoone books were so handy, I would keep one in my car...they even had maps! And then along came the internet and you could look up people and places online with "white pages." Now, you have to pay to get info....not that I'm a stalker or any such thing ;)


And thanks for the knowledge of what a terabyte is. I think I will be fine and not run out of data. I have never had house wifi, so I just didn't know how good it would be (or not be).

I'm in a 2 year contract (a little over a year left) with the phone plan. So that won't change anytime soon. Also, today we got our 2 oldest their own (first) phones, so the 30 GB "might" (?) be necessary. I will pay attention to how much we use and cut it down when I am able if need be...

Is emotional cheating just as bad as physical cheating or not as bad?

Yes, I believe it is just as bad. He may not be physically "dipping in," but he is distancing himself from you, which will lead to the other. And he is causing you pain.

An intimate partnership is sharing your most private and vulnerable self with the other person... physically, emotionally, etc.... and supporting one another's vulnerabilities. He's sharing with someone else, and it can't be good

So I decided to go into teaching special needs...

I'm sorry to say that this type of thing is one small part of why I didn't remain in teaching. Saw too many rules broken and too many kids in danger. I reported things that I saw to various "higher ups" and even to my mentor professor. Nothing was ever done, and it truly was a shock to me to see how much of what went on was ignored and/or accepted.
I realize that the job in the classroom during the day to day is anything but "textbook," but it was so hard to see the real life deviations.

In hearing your story, it makes me realize/remember how common it is.

My advice: you are young; you see a lot more of the idealistic world without being completely jaded from age and experience. You have fight in you.... go as high as you can with training and education, use your position/education (though it may take some time) and BE THE CHANGE...

Heyooo

Sounds very nice...the teaching in Japan. I would have loved to have done that, but as you get older, dreams sorta fade....not really fade, but life gets in the way, I guess. So do it while you're young and have a great time! :)

I didn't realize how important rest days were...

Good job, Padre :)I have found that eating more protein helps me to not be so sore after a workout.

Look up your macros score and then pay attention to what you eat, according to your goals......

Save or invest?

Save half
Invest half

If you earn from your investments, take out half of your earnings and invest the rest....
