    Happy Columbus Day

    Did you say pirate??
  2. Yes they did. Actually that's how I got the letters to send to UoI
  3. Good Luck. If you think you may be borderline, pay a lot of attention to filling out everything correctly. If for some reason you are not successful in getting into your 1st Choice, find out about alternate enrollment options. I was turned down by one college and after I submitted letters from the Principal and a couple teachers they ultimately accepted me.

    Living Situation

    I am a big fan of an Italian guy who was so lost he "discover" a whole new world. You know his wife nagged him for weeks to stop and ask for directions, but no, old Christopher Columbus just kept sailing away, trusting his "inner compass"
  5. Two things that helped me: 1. Gathering all the information I needed and having it in one place. 2. Having a mom who knew I couldn't possibly fill out those forms
  6. [spitting sweet ice tea on laptop]
  7. There should be a central clearing house like with Student Aid. Fill out one form and they will send it anywhere.

    Just to fully get to the level of this thread: Steff said pee-pee and had the 69th post hee hee hee
  13. OK, wars, natural disasters, and great depressions. Not mild recessions and to get re-elected. Illegal: Vote for me and I'll give you $500 Legal: Vote for me and I'll give you a $500 tax rebate!
  14. No. It's a false economy. Same as if Joe Sixpack maxes out a credit card. His economy is red hot for 30 days.
  15. I can dream can't I? BTW, I love your avatar Answer parrt 2 They need to be able to fill holes and/or upgrade without creating new holes. Winding up with a better SS and a lesser 1st baseman isn't the answer. It's not the mix, it's the overall talent.
  16. I can understand that. We'll take the jobs down here when foreign investors are looking to open plants. Everyone of these included tax breaks to locate in their city. That's the name of the game in economic development. When San Antonio was competing for the Toyota plant there were three other cities in the final group.
  17. So what's your cat's screen name?
  18. When I first networked my house, my daughter sent me a IM from her room to being her water. Wireless networking is so cool.
  19. Link Here More at link.

    We know, we just saw it on the web cam
  21. I guess I'm going to hell for that one
  22. But junk mail (bulk mail) serves an economic benefit to everyone. Junk mail keeps our mail costs down. I just went to my mailbox. 9 pieces of mail, 6 were bulk mail. About half the cost of coming to my mailbox was these advertisers. Take away the bulk mail and we would have some huge cost increases. SPAM is different. It increases our ISP costs, not decreasing them.

    I think what really is being debated here is not favoratism, but credibility. Yes, some posters here, after making thousands of posts that have proven to be accurate, have less of a threshold to cross to be believed. Put another way. If Rex Hudler, 2003 Soxtalk Baseball Analyst of the Year, makes a statement about the Sox, I am going to believe it. He has thousands of credible posts. If someone making their second post states the same thing, I am going to be more wary of accepting it as fact. You may believe everyone equally, but most of the world doesn't. I would hope you have greater trust in what your best friend says compared to a total stranger. The check isn't always in the mail. And finally, in this specific case a body of evidence is starting to build. A. Among dozens of avid Sox fans, only you heard it. B. Google searches turn up nothing. C. Searces at the Tribune, Sun-Times, and Southtown turned up zero.
