So I thought...
But last night your brother mentioned that you were going to check out WallyWorld for an inflatable one.
Is that the new plan or do you still want to take the double?
I never really wanted an inflatable one but dad's been trying to talk me into one. I don't like it because (1) It'd be on the floor - (2) I've never liked them, they're either too hard or they go flat (3) I think it'd be too easily popped by animal toes.
~snicker~
I plan on adding to that collection. Especially once the karaoke machine arrives....
I just consider it insurance.
They bought a queen inflatable for the girls to use at the beach house and it was really comfortable.
But the animal toes would probably pop it if they caught it just right. :-/
Your brother's coming home in a little while to meet the furniture delivery dudes. I'll mention it to him and if anything, we'll get an inflatable for here.
We'll need it when my family comes to visit anyway.

I was about to make a comment about Nana, but was changing into my gym clothes beforehand... and my littlest brother comes barging in. Argh.
I have *got* to get out of this place. Wonder if I can get a better offer?
They pulled my Math 1 TE.
I wrote them a lengthy letter:
Dear sirs,
In response to the removal of my homeschool curriculum manual.
While I understand the reasoning behind not allowing teacher's manuals to be sold on Ebay, I think in the case of homeschool curriculum, it is unfounded. Homeschoolers purchase these manuals and commonly re-sell them amongst themselves...Ebay has always been an excellent way for them to do so. I hope that you will, in the future, reconsider your stance in banning homeschool teacher's materials. Other websites are exploiting your stand and are promoting your website as being "anti-homeschool", which I personally do not believe.
As a matter of fact, I have heard about your stand on this topic from other websites trying to lure business away from you. I actually didn't believe it was true, I thought it was a scam and if it was true, I have suspected that those other websites are coming to Ebay and "reporting" people who are simply trying to sell manuals for parents to use. In effect, using a rule you have in place in order to sabatoge the auctions and bring more business to themselves. For example...check out this website and their comments...

I also received a highly inflammatory email concerning this through an egroup I belong to that has almost 2000 members...it really trashed Ebay. I will be happy to forward it to you if you like.
It seems to me a concerted effort on the part of some small homeschool businesses that are trying to increase their own numbers are slamming Ebay.
I know this is a very long email, but I thought you should be aware that there are groups out there exploiting your actions. I have one question...the answer to which would explain a lot to me. How did you find my auction? I very clearly stated in the auction that the manual was for homeschool parental use. I never once called it a teacher's manual or edition. My question is, did someone report me? If so, I would highly suspect one of these "home businesses"...
Sincerely,
Not likely. You are just to weird.
There are other weird people out there you know... some of them around here even.
Bah! That is statistically improbable.
The rats.
Speaking of which, I registered for grad school. Am going to do an MS program through Florida Tech on Project Management with a Operations Research concentration. Been putting it off for far too long..
I'm INTJ too... we're way more common online than in rl...
Statistics? What's math got to do with it?
Hmmm....
Hmmm....
