Chargerino, I just stay away from the casino floor! It feels very wide open to me...and those BOOOFFETs...and it sure beats being at work. I guess if you have to live there, it could be stressful. But, for me, it's a treat to go there.

Don't tell me, empowah, 760 in Math, right?

OK, Dad. Oh, let him have fun!

I work a ridiculous amount of hours, but I also squeeze in 2 grad courses at night during the semester. Yeah, nuts is the word. Next week, on the semester system, is Spring Break so I ONLY have to go to my full-time day job. Each "book-end" weekend to the break is therefore "free." I'm going hot springing this weekend and to Las Vegas next Friday / Saturday / Sunday (I am itching for some sun and warm temperatures). Las Vegas is so relaxing ... and you can have the best time without even putting a quarter in a slot machine (poolside, Lake Mead, cheap abundant food, entertainment). What are any of you doing/where are any of you going?

Correctly spelled by BV. Extra scoop of ice cream to you.

I don't know. Statesman or Roadmaster are too "baroque." Electra or Invicta, both past names, are better and easier for the consuming public to grasp. Actually, because there is no Ebonicized "deuce and a quarter" connection to the Electra, I prefer Invicta. It may not sell in Europe, though...Invicta is to knapsacks what Eastpak and Janssport are over here. Just a thought.

From you sig, it looks like you are in the SGV part of So Cal. Did you grow up there, too?Don't know anybody that went to public school in that area, but I know people who went to Bishop Amat. Is/was that your stomping ground? The last time I was there and went around with my friend who lives in Hacienda Heights off of Colima Rd., it seems that there is NO one who could be in "The Brady Bunch" in "those parts" any more. You have to cross over to Brea and Fullerton or go toward Claremont to get that "effect."

All this $h! makes me shudder. Babies = $ and if a divorce comes down the pike, then more $$. Not that having kids is a bad thing. It can be a good thing...when done right. What's done right? Everyone's definition is different. To me, it means finishing up whatever schooling or training you want to go through, making sure your job is in place and then doing it. Nowadays, that would mean anywhere from age 28 to 32. It seems like so many young girls look at the whole baby thing as a crutch for their self-esteem. They don't have bigger goals in life so that's the pinnacle for them. It's a person and you can't send him/her back. The sad thing about our society is that those who can afford to have kids and might even be good parents aren't doing it (like a lot of my friends) and those who shouldn't be having kids are doing it (and I know people like that too). It's not necessarily a tragedy (BV's cool) but it is definitely an uphill climb. No thanks.

Foreign professors made for great "impersonation" material. For teaching purposes, I didn't find them too effective. Since I went to a small university, I did not get TAs. We got the real deal. We had a business calculus teacher...she was Chinese. Her thoughts about calculus were like what you would find in fortune cookies. "Integrar is rike engine" "Differentiar is rike transmission" And on and on. Took my grade.....and RAN.

How badly are LaCrosse sales down? Where does one get this info - you know, tabulations on GM sales by division/model/etc?

Really? A hot selling Buick in Subaru land? Which dealer did you go to? I bought my current car at Jim Weston on the East Side. Most of the BOP agencies in Portland were very reasonable to deal with except for those Thomason dealers which are everywhere on McLoughlin.

No, but I'm no authority. I have a ton of flaws. Everybody that's in a pastoral capacity is flawed in some way. I just do the best I can in this regard. Everyone can also do the same. As long as you KNOW you are fallable, that actually gives you a good base to work from.

NOS, I'll pitch in your SAT score divided by 1,000 toward your college education.

Please tell us you're NOT getting older....you're getting BETTER.
