Hello, my name is Scott and I'm a photoholic.

Wow, tutoring is good money....

And see you have to talk to people for that.. YOU ARE IMPROVING!!

The kids mom was literally begging me to tutor him (something about 11 year olds in college) Where I'm at now of course there are more math tutors than there are parents willing to pay so it is quite a bit harder...

Show them that you are the best... You have to show them that you are the tutor to the tutors... and that you are just awesome.. lol

Most of the tutors are Grad students and WAY above me. Some are from the next college over and getting their PH.D's in fields that I'm still completely unaware that they even exist.

Wow.. Then again maybe not... lol

I went from big man on campus at the community college to newt in the next level up... If I lived 2 towns over in Rocklin or Auburn I could probably pull in $50 an hour but Sacramento is freaking poor.

Wow I think our tutors here get like maybe $20 an hour.

It totally depends on where you are and who you work for the cost of living here is astronomical a typical house costs 400k++ Working in Sacramento I'd be lucky to get $15 an hour and I'd be spending lots of money on gas to get to peoples houses. Living in Rocklin or Auburn I could probably easily get $50 an hour and probably tutor at my house.

The answer probably wouldn't be satisfactory without going back to the original Greek (which may still have translation problems). Ooops wrong testament.

Ok here is what I found out... And then we can drop the topic so we don't get into trouble.

Adam and Eve were like children in the garden, yes they were married, but they were innocent and "child-like". They didn't know, or realize is a better word, that they were naked. It was how they were born and how they lived, so they had a different mindset about being naked than we do. And it wasn't until they ate the apple that they realized that they were naked, and were embarrassed about it. Eating the apple opened their eyes to the natural/carnal world and once they were kicked out of the garden that is when their "sexual instincts" kicked in. We live in a carnal world and that is why when we see the naked form the first thing typically we think of is sex. But, if we too lived in a nudist world, the naked form would be just that, a naked form, not a symbol for sex. It would be just the average thing.

I hardly see this as discussing religion. We're not discussing relative merits of religion we're talking about the elements of a history and what they mean. Just because it came from a bible does not inherently make it religion.

I completely agree.

I did probably go to far by bringing up the provability of the existence of god and in another forum that really would have brought up a heated debate. Here not so much especially in this thread (I'm pretty sure none of us are philosophy majors).

Nope not me.. But then again just because you study philosophy doesn't mean you do or do not believe in God.
And I could see how that would bring up a heated debate...

NO!! I haven't developed my own film in 4 years...

 

[monkeykoder]

I'm sorry... I can't wait until my photo class so I can try it out myself... Maybe there will even be females in that class (math classes not so good for meeting females).
