I believe the point is that there is always someone out there who is in greater need. Sluggo has a good heart, and realizes that he doesn’t need the materialistic things.

Sorry Nab. I wasn’t offended by your previous post – but the assumption of a 4 year BA/party degree does offend.
I am currently working full time, raising a family, and busting my butt to get my teaching degree. Definately not a party, but a lot of work. And I am required to have several hours (10-30) in the classroom (observing and helping) for every course that I complete.
Yes it was a pain before word processors, and yes I did have to count the words. What was worst was when you were 450 words in, and made an error. You had to re-write the whole thing, or at least that page forward.
Tried to go back and catch up on all I had missed… Had it really been 6 weeks?
No way I can comment on it all, but Happy Birthdays to those I missed. Congrats to the new G-Pa.
Luv – don’t think you ever got an answer, but yes I do use vinegar in my pie crust. I have a great Amish recipe that you can’t ruin no matter how hard you try. Trust me, my 14 yr. old tried very hard and it still turned out great.
Sojo – glad you made it out to dinner w/ friends.
ML – so glad you are feeling well today. Because I’m so far behind – how many more treatments?
That would be the trolly – used to go visit the King & Queen.
