Nick I'd really appreciate if you could hold off on that call until tomorrow.

I'm trying to finally do my homework before Sunday night for once. I'm on track to do it.

One more paragraph in this paper and then some reading and I'm done. Then I can BS all day tomorrow.

Here's Jaymi-Lyn on her quad

LOL. I was a bit smarter than that. I just swallowed mine whole, no chewing. Back on the other side things got uncomfortable for a few days...and I had some serious heartburn.


That one day could turn out to be more than one! Boy scouts...always be prepared! lol

But your fireside lunch idea sounds better, Sheldon!
Didn't you guys ever learn how to start a fire without matches? You're talkin to a girl who could survive out in the woods for weeks, as long as I had a good knife on me (always do, my .357 too) and as long as it wasn't winter!

Depending on what the animal and plant life looked like..and how much ammo I had on me...the bug eating scenario might come back into play though.

My new ending: Romeo's a ***. Just like Shakespeare was.

I actually got into a big fight with my English teacher last year. I asked why we neededt o know all the dumb stuff we were learning. Her answer was "Well if you wanted to become an English teacher or major in Literature"

So my counter-argument was that if that is true then English teachers are just self-perpetuating and we should get rid of them all and simplify our lives and save a lot of time and money.

She didn't like that too much.
I'd much rather have a huge project than an actual final!

As far as being forced to learn things you think are boring: this is just the beginning. Over and over again you will be forced to learn something you don't enjoy, even if you think its worthless.

There are some things people just need to know about. Literature is just, one of those things.

I have read every Shakespearian play ever written. Let me know if you want me to look that paper over before you turn it in.

Thanks for the offer, Lisa. However I think I'm gonna pass on that one. I really don't want to know what's wrong with it before I hand it in. I spent 3 hours writing 2 pages. Double spaced...

No problem Pete. Doesn't hurt my feelings. But I am here if you ever want to utilize me for editing or for a second set of eyes.

Jay the house was built in 1953,there is no rebar in the floor and it is a hard ****er,had to work our butts off to jack hammer through it.those guys did it old scholl thats for sure.we checked for square on the room and it was only a 1/4" out of square.the guy working on couldn't believe it he measured it twice to make sure.

Yes it is that slick all over makes it nice to clean up.

Its like walking on ice with a fine layer of dust on it.
