It&#8217;s a magazine for girls that isn&#8217;t based around the beauty paradigm and it has interesting things to do like building rafts and cracking codes.

Considering that my first presidential election as a voter was the 2000 election that George Bush and the Supreme Court stole, that says something.  It surprises me that I&#8217;m honestly offended by Trump stickers on cars.  To be fair, I&#8217;m sure that there are voters that dislike Hillary stickers on cars.<\/p>\n<p>November can&#8217;t come fast enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt6\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt6\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 6 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Back to school?<\/strong>  I&#8217;m looking at taking a couple classes online at the local community college this fall to make me more marketable when I start job-hunting again.
