Well update.

I finally got ahold of my advisor. I had to call, probably the 5th time I called I got her....every time I called her direct, it would go straight to voice mail. So, I called in through the extension lines and she picked up. HMMMM...

So anyways, she grilled me about why I wanted to leave...I told her its because I decided I wanted to attend a more traditional university (not a total lie. Hey, you get more bees with honey). She grilled me for a few minutes but finally gave up and said she would process the cancellation paperwork and promised me I would be getting no bills in the mail.

I also sent out that certified letter. It cost me $17 to sent it overnight with signed return receipt, but its cheap insurance I guess.

That's good Lisa. I'm glad that it worked out for you.


Ok funny story time,

I have an ad on Craigslist trying to sell a brand new washer and dryer. Well I have been getting the usual bs emails and so on. I get an email from some woman asking for pics of them so I sent them to her. She replies back the next day asking more questions. So I ansewr those. She then asks me how firm the price is. I send an email back to her and say that I'll take a resonable offer. I just checked my email and she sends back a nude pic of herslf asking if we can negotiate the price......This woman is let's say a tad bit on the nasty side......Needless to say the washer and dryer are still for sale. Some people have no scruples at all!

You should reply that the price just doubled to cover your cataract surgery!

Brendan, sorry to hear about your dad. I dunno how to mojo so I prayed for him.

Anyways here's how you get a 95lb Akita into the hospital in 3 easy steps.

1: Learn to act blind. Make it convincing.

2: Teach dog to act like seeing eye dog.

3: Tell hospital you are blind and that is your seeing eyedog. Good to go!

Brent: If you're going to be tearing the lawn all up you might want to tie the downspouts into a drain in order to keep the yard more water-free. Take pictures of everything you think I might be interested in seeing. Even if it's on the fence take it. You don't have to send them all, but having them would be good.

I'll let dad in on the project too. His 30+ years of experience can't hurt. I've really just got one or two years of experience actually planning and carrying out jobs start to finish.

I'm still watching the show. The more I watch, the more I hope she chokes on a damn doughnut and suffocates.

What a horrible, vile person. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

I'd feel too hypocritical asking people to pray for him, but I really do appreciate it so very much. Thank you my friend. And to everyone. Whatever you call it, think of it... mojo, good vibes/thoughts, prayers... it's all so very much appreciated.

That's a good idea but I just don't have time for the training... LOL. I'm more the "Can I please.... no? Well I tried to be nice, now try and stop me.." kinda guy... yeah, I know. I won't take him until he's out of ICU.
