thanks, i will look this weekend. this is an actual BRIGHTON store, and i don't see it listed on their website, but i can't imagine that it wouldn't be participating. xsteen's HS is doing this month up in a big way. they sold white and black poloshirts that have the pink ribbon on them, which they are permitted to wear in lieu of the banana yellow uniform polo shirt. and they are having a denim and pink day this month, where, for $5 donation, they are permitted to wear jeans and a pink shirt instead of their uniform. very clever fundraisers i thought. xsteen is wearing her white polo with pink ribbon today.

yeah there are. xsteen has them in HS. they actually diagram sentences. and they have to do reading logs for every book, with each paper being a 15 step process. xsteen was hailed as a GRAMMAR BEAST this summer in the english class she took there, that was for 100% on all grammar tests.

I'd invite tiogo to a Roman party in honor of their arrival in the classroom.....

But he (she?) hasn't filled out the roster on his/her homepage and so I don't know how he (she?) fills out a sheet out of the classroom.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Shssh...... don't let the Marine know......

[Conspiracy Guy]

Tioga is new. Hope he she aint a pome troll. Seems nor mall enough.

[Robert A Cook PE]

"Tioga is new. Hope he she aint a pome troll. Seems nor mall enough.

I hope he/she turns out nor mall.....

Ya know, iffen we could figure out whether he/she shops at Radio Shack and the Sears hardware section, or the Sears shoe section and "personal appliances" counter, or just at the jewelry store near the food court, we could get a big jump on just how normall the new student is....

I abhor the server errors that freerepublic is giving me today and I think I will be lucky if I can complete this post!

Shelion, I got your other response pointing out that you fit most of my criteria, the problem is that you are a JR. fan and since it is to hard to change others, I know that I wouldn't be able to bring you out of the Chevy world! Real race cars don't wear bowties!

[RikaStrom]

Wow! It's not often that you go off on rants.

Well said, just remember the island, the generator, pizza and booze. ;-)

[RikaStrom]

Finally, A+

Vast, one of these days... POW! Right in the kisser!
