Yeah, I've seen some of the other books. It intrigued me because I saw the ad for the Broadway show.

A friend on the alumni board who is a high school drama teacher says it's become her favorite show.

Some people realize the importance of there being folks who can do things they cannot, and they like to show their appreciation! Just enjoy it!

Hmmm... the idea sounds vaguely familiar but I can't think quite where I've seen it before. Haven't read the comic though so thanks for the recommendation.

Hair, we need to around here with the clay soils and to provide the stability for the privacy fence, two sacks in each hole, each hole dug 36 inches deep; we're glad to hear you don't need to set them that way out there.

Rosie, sort of, it doesn't have as many blades, in fact only a couple of shallow ones. The gas/electric one do look like a wood drill bit.

Well...besides getting overpaid for helping plug in PCs, I've been doing OK, I guess. Continuing to build a coupla systems a week, which is kinda fun except for the front panel audio wiring, which is a pain in the rear.

But I've also had a few systems that I wasn't able to figure out what the problem was, and then had people who didn't want to pay for anything further - like an OS reload - so *that* stresses me out, too, 'cause I just know they are upset that we didn't find anything during the diagnostic period that would fix it, and usually they still get charged for us taking a look, even if our answer was "it needs parts" or "it needs to be reloaded".

Money is always a part of business, but I'd rather that it be dealt with in another department. ;-)

It's in!

We've been home for several hours, but this was the first opportunity I got to post.

Submitting it to the Graduate College required that he go to a specific website, which gives him the ability to convert his Word doc into a pdf file, then that same website submits the pdf file to his Graduate College (they had a whole list of schools). It took several steps, but it ultimately went through.

I really think it's *done*, now...he just has to do the defense. No word on when that will be yet.

Did you want to come over and watch the much heralded season premier of South Park?

It's on at 10... We have no idea what to expect - No prescreening on this one :~D

He has time to call his sister?!

Man, their priorities are seriesly messed up. I never give my folks reports until after the moot is pretty much over. Heck, when we got engaged, I didn't call them for two days.

Well, you're welcome if you can handle some unscreened risk. I don't know what they're gonna do, probably cover the latest bruhaha.

Yes - it's a pretty good scanner.
