black Friday shopping

I do not for the life of me understand the appeal of black Friday shopping.....spoken like a woman who has worked in retail for 20+ years. At midnight my plans are to be fast asleep.

what is the world coming to

when even the rat is not safe anymore

God forbid kids should stay in school

I can honestly say I do not understand the controversy surround President Obama's speech to students planned for today...Was it inappropriate for Reagan? George H Bush? and even waaaay back to Theodore Roosevelt

We of an older generation can get along with what we have, though with growing hardship; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want what nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtlessly destroyed; and because of that want you will reproach us, not for what we have used, but for what we have wasted...

are you at least going to buy me a drink first?

registered for my fall class this week. I am taking the first of the Anatomy & Physiology classes it should be an interesting class and we get a cadaver for lab so big fun next semester. Unfortunately I have lab on Saturdays at 9 in the morning so kind of curious how that is going to work out for me but I digress(but when don't I?) Out of curiosity I was going to see what text book we would need with plans on buying in online for a ridiculously less amount of money than the bookstore wanted me to pay for it only to find that the A&P classes uses on of those bundles for lab & class that is specific to the course being taught so specific meaning I have to buy the frickin text book at the bookstore for..wait for it...300 hundred dollars. Craziness!
