• (1 vote) My new pet rat is smelly.
  

  That’s odd. My girl rats always smelled a little (just animal smell, you know), but my boy rat never really did at all.
  
  Maybe he has a fungus? I really don’t know. I was all stoked to answer this post because I had rats for a long time and I love them, but I really don’t know. Maybe take him in to the vet if it’s really awful, or just let him be a little stinker if you don’t think it’s medical.

• (1 vote) I’m looking for some help, do any of you know how likely I would be to come across a class equivalent to a high school Algebra II class in college?
  

  Most colleges have some sort of math placement test since everyone comes from different backgrounds. Depending on your major, you might not have to take any math at all. A high school level algebra II course would most likely be considered remedial and be listed as a 0-level course (as opposed to a 100-level). Even if your concentration isn’t math, it’s likely that you’ll need to take some kind of math class. The standard math at my university is called Finite (which is basically just math that isn’t algebra) and literally almost everyone takes it or tests out of it.

  If you’re referring to an ESL situation, it’s because reading and speaking are two entirely different skills. If someone learns English just by reading, he MAY be able to understand spoken words (with a lot of difficulty and really probably not), but it is extremely unlikely that he will be able to accurately reproduce them. If you look at written English, it doesn’t look very much like spoken English sounds, especially to someone whose first language has an alphabet where letters produce different sounds. Take the word “balloon.” To a native Spanish speaker with no exposure to written English, it looks like it would sound like “bayoon.” Speaking also requires faster thinking, more filler words and phrases and often different sentence structures and vocabulary than written communication.
  
  There’s other stuff, but I’m not about to write your whole essay for you.

• (1 vote) i eat nonstop.
  

  I agree that it sounds like you should go to someone who really knows what they’re doing. Until then, try to only eat things that you have to cook, not just pop in the microwave. You will probably be less inclined to eat out of boredom when you realise that you have to put in a lot more effort to have food. That also means not keeping snacky foods in your house. Ask for your family or roommates’ help in this goal, if you need to. And finally, find things to do! You say you eat a lot when you’re bored, well don’t let yourself get bored. I used to have similar problems with boredom-eating, but then I forced myself to recognise that I’m not hungry (which you’ve already done!) and find something else to do. In the beginning, every time I had the urge to eat and I wasn’t really hungry, I would go outside or to the gym and do something active for at least half an hour. If that’s not possible for you, then call a friend or clean something or do a puzzle, anything to occupy your mind and keep it off food. Eventually, you’ll just naturally do things when you’re bored instead of eating. (It takes a month to develop new habits, so don’t be discouraged if you still want to eat all the time for a while!)
  
  Good luck! And please see a doctor, dietician or councelor if you can!

  I’m not impressed by you, if that’s what you mean.
  
  Plus, unprotected sex is never sexy.

• Hello, I am inquiring if anyone knows of any possible funding for students who have a BA Degree, but going back to Further Education.
  

  Do you have a job currently that has funds available for continuing education? Could you possibly substitute teach part time and go to school part time? (I don’t know what kinds of qualifications are necessary for substitute teachers.) It’s so short-sighted that countries don’t help their future teachers become qualified. :(

• Is this Racist?
  

  Just to clarify, I wasn’t saying racism doesn’t exist, I was just saying that not every incident relates back to race issues.

• Is this Racist?
  

  Actually, in unskilled jobs with high turnover, hiring is based mostly on things like schedule flexibility and personality, as in: how well the interviewer likes you. Maybe you just struck the guy as someone that he wouldn’t want to work with. Education isn’t really an issue; a college graduate can sling popcorn just as well as a 16-year-old kid. Besides, you weren’t there for your friend’s interview; he might have been more enthusiastic than you were or just have been having a better day.
  
  I hate when people are all, ‘waah! racism!” just because there happened to be people of different races in a situation.

• anyone have any info about those websites where you make your own raido station by picking the kind of music you like?
  

  Pandora is free and great, except it doesn’t work if you’re outside the US at the moment because they’re working on licensing issues in other countries. :(
