I wish I were heading there. Have fun.

Yeah, CA seems like a joke of a state to live in right now, but for teachers it's a great place to be. Starting salary for a new teacher right out of school is about $40k. The cost of living is high in a lot of places, but at least they're getting paid a living wage. Starting pay in teaching is one reason why I have opted for nursing rather than teaching.

That's really awful. My condolences to the families. Please everyone, be carful out there. Jay_B makes some excellent points about anchors and placing gear above an anchor to help prevent this from happening.

The sun is so bright out right now that I wish I had brought my sunglasses to school. The air smells so nice and clean too.

You probably support cultural homogenization too.

From the looks of your photo earlier today you're an old stodgy fart. Older than me that is.

Now that I am a student again I am remembering how many stupid bureaucratic policies and people there are at colleges/universities. I got a letter from one of the schools I am applying to for January stating that my transcripts do not show that I meet the necessary requirements for entry. One of which is the fact that I didn't send them my high school transcript. Thought the fact I already have a BA would negate the need to see my transcripts from 16 years ago. Another was that I hadn't met their Algebra requirement. I guess the person doesn't realize that a person needs to successfully complete algebra before completing Calculus. I guess if I had sent the HS transcript I would have gotten credit for that one. I don't meet their requirement for psychology classes taken, but my BA is in psych. Are these people actually reading the information I sent them? There are many more...The letter suggests I meet with an advisor to discuss any concerns I have and to do some academic planning. After finally getting in touch with a real person, I find out that I can meet with an adviser ONLY after I sit through a 2 hour information session on Nov. 17th so that my general questions will be answered. "I don't have any general questions, just ones specific to my application." Doesn't matter I will not get an appointment until I have been to the session. I think I'll call back tomorrow and hope I get a different person and then I'll lie and say that I've already been to a session. And I'm crossing my fingers that I get into the school of my choice so I can tell EverettCC to

already tried that Klenke and it just named the file .gif.bmp Anyways another kind user sent me the file via email so problem temporarily solved.

Hopefully this campaign will have some affect this time. Unfortunately there are no reps from WA on the list...

http://www.geocities.com/naddame2/tree11x.gif or http://www.fg-a.com/flowers13.shtml Both don't seem to let me 'drag and drop' images.

I have IE 6, XP is my op system. I find the image and use the right mouse button to get a save option. The box pops up and the only file type option is .bmp

The only option that appears when I click on Save As is .bmp. Any suggestions?

It would be pretty cool looking if not book-ended by stale brick buildings that look like entrances to some kind of manufacturing plant in the midwest.

So what's your point Peter? That the voting districts are determined including illegal aliens and legal non-citizens and this is skewing results? I find that hard to believe.

That's so nice of you to go to the soup kitchen.

You thought climbing crimpers or finger cracks caused the best forearm pump? Nope. Mix up some cookie dough by hand. Whew. Had to take a couple breaks to shake out.

I don't get it...you playing for both teams now?

Why won't the animated .gif images I find on the internet save as gifs? They keep defaulting to .bmp and then don't work.

i second that one! traffic isn't the only reason i'm late for morning meetings Yeah. That's a good one when you've got your buddy hanging around.

Procrastination? Mine are surfing the web and pacing around my apartment looking for stuff to organize. Although the later is hard now that I live in a studio.

Both are sold. Thanks.

Sounds kinda dumb. What is the "magic trick"? I guess he failed to get himself outside the box, or to conjure up some grub.

I sometimes wonder the same thing...then look around and see how busy everyone seems running around getting"stuff" done. Not realizing that they just missed out on seeing a beautiful cloud form and dissipate, or on really listening to what their loved ones are saying, or seeing an old woman smile. Shame they don't realize that everyday needs to be lived and shared, not just used as a prep for when you have time. Unfortunately that day never comes.

Trask - you get up way too early in the morning on a Sunday. You heading to early Mass or something?
