163... Yeesh! Bill, you make me sick to my stomach. Oh well, I think I'll have another beer to drown my sorrows... + =

I used to do this in my junior year of high school. I needed to be in the calculus class, because when I entered this Virgina HS after transferring from Italy, I had already taken the math courses that the VA school was teaching for juniors. So I wasn't much interested in repeating Algebra II, but I still had to wait until my processing had been completed to get moved up to the calculus class. Needless to say, I was bored for a few days... So to help assuage my boredom, I quickly learned that my Algebra II teacher had a habit of standing at the door and making mental notes of which students had arrived during the class change. I'd make a big show of making sure he noticed me come to his class. Then I'd walk over to the 2nd floor window, check to make sure he wasn't looking, and promptly jump out the window. Then I'd run around the building and walk back into class again like I had not yet arrived, giving him another big "Hello, Mr. Whateverhisnamewas!". I always got this funky look from him like he thought he was losing his mind or something. This went on for about a week or so, until I was finally transferred up to the calculus class.

Climbing at Lightning Dome on the SF Clearwater River, again.

It was so fine that I'm leaving to go back there in about two hours or so. Wanna come?

Porter, that really has to stop. And soon...

you seem to be a little late in leaving, judging by your ETD in your other post...

Just getting started now (3:30). I'm gonna have a beer or three and then I'm outta here at 4 o'clock for the long w/e. And you're a half-hour late in leaving, 5K. I think I beat you to the beer again, sucka!

Yes, but he's got a point. One that could sway enough voters into the D column. Read the comments from that link. Seems the Rs may have a no-experience relief pitcher to fill a dead McCain spot. But the Ds are putting in a no-experience man as their starting pitcher. Who's more irresponsible here, Begala? Hmm?

That was a separate incident Yes, both mkporwit and I (the ones discussing it) are well aware of that fact, but we were discussing it here, since there is no separate thread for the TFM incident and it's kind of a moot point now anyway.

Holy moly, 2x/day! I had my last guy on fluids 2x/WEEK plus meds every A.M. and P.M. It wore me to a nub. You are a hell of a trooper. But, we owe it to our pals. Before my buddy Trango cashed in his chips, I had him on sub-q ringers 3X/day and meds 3X/day. I went home for lunch every day so I could give him his Rx. He was a real trooper, and the best cat I ever had. Well, Phydeaux's giving Trango a run for his money, anyway... Phydeaux, the Pirate Kitty chillin' in my back yard

That's funny, but rude. Still, I want one anyway...

Thanks for the link, mk. I couldn't find anything on it by Googling as quick as you did. I must have been looking at a paper older than yesterday's, since they were pulled off on Wednesday.

NPR reports that she's been known for her tough stance on political corruption. Mebbe McCain thinks she can help him push through his campaign financing reform efforts. source Seems like she doesn't give a shit on which side of the aisle you sit. Good for her!

I think I just read in yesterday's paper that that mission is still ongoing. One of three has descended, the other two remain trapped but are with rescuers and are awaiting clearing weather before NAS Whidbey can return with a helo. All are teenagers (16 and 17 years old).

rmncwrtr beat you to it, almost 3 months ago. She posted a shorter version of the same story at the bottom of Page 32, with an Aerosmith soundtrack.

I am heartened to hear that Latte is still enjoying a large measure of quality of life. You have done well, carolyn. Keep it up! :tup:

If he fell into a well, wouldn't it be better to just leave him there?

Admit it, you were turned on by the coconut bra, weren't you?

I think I see where you're going with this one, but I would posit that warm chocolate and/or caramel sauces would work better than frosting in this regard... well someone has to fill in during Archie's hiatus Although, I guess it could depend upon the size of the candles, too...

Is it just me, or does this seem not too far off...?

Wow. Sorry to hear that, Gary. Condolences to the family and friends, as trite as that may sound.

You do know that I don't shave, right? I'm not allowed to have sharp instruments. Therapist's orders, ya know.

you are doomed Not so! There is an end to The Dark Years... eventually... Now, I really really gotta go!

Ya know, when I posted that I knew it was just a matter of time before someone would make a comment like that. Thanks for upholding my faith in cc.com readers!

Been there, done that. Twice! At least they're (freshly turned) 6 and (soon to be) 4 years old now. I can see the end of The Dark Years approaching... sickie <== pot of gold at end of rainbow Ironically, it is my friend (and former climbing partner) whose Open House it is that I'm going to right now who coined that phrase.
