    hey there!
    welcome to the site!

    ok - firstly eat something - if u dont then ur poor body is going to never be able to fight any nasties that come ur way. even if its more toast - just eat something!

    are u worried abt colds/flu - or about v*ing? chances are he may be over exagerating...? u know what mean are like with colds? [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img] i say go - if u get a cold then at least everyone will know if they have all had colds! u cant mess it up!

    hugs

    $38.00 per hour at the age of 21? You are blessed. I wouldn't worry about a thing.

    my theory is the less work you do the more you get paid lol.. i was a
    program assistant working in a mental ward.. for 8.10 an hour..hardest
    job i had... now i am what they call an ''inspector'' haha.. i just
    walk around and make sure everyone is doing their job..and doing it
    right.. it's so easy.. and i get to talk to everyone.. and
    i am probably one of the people who get paid the least... come on over
    to PA and i'll hook you up!!!!
