My daughter, the really hard working smart one has wanted to attend NU for years and is now close to graduating (entering senior year). she has a 4.0 in the International Baccalaureate program, etc. But she worries it still is not enough? Anyone with experience to share? Her class rank is 25/400

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:42 PM) Oh, I hear you, but I also think that (and I've said this for 5 years around here) there was/is more to the Iraq thing then we will ever know. Both ways

It really sucked on international flights. Fourteen hour strecthes and fighting all the way to go to sleep.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:42 PM) I hate that feeling, that happens to me a fairly decent amount just sleeping regularly. Scares the s*** out of me when I wake up. I keep thinking I have screamed when I jolt awake. At the time it really sucked because I was on a plane every week and catching some sleep was really nice.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) In my opinion, it's more related to interests that we're all not aware of. I agree, but I really dislike that whole "we're not aware of" reasoning. Seems as if we entered into a war or two based on "stuff we do not know about" and trusting leadership.

QUOTE (Felix @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:19 PM) I've thought about it, but I don't generally sleep well on planes. Whatever, I'm just going to go sleep early tonight, it'll be easier. Sometime about 10 years ago I stopped being able to sleep easily on planes. I developed this sensation of "falling" asleep, as in I feel like I'm falling. Not a good feeling on a plane.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:20 PM) I think that it's interesting that Bush gets no credit at all for trying to deal with North Korea by "talking"... do people ever stop and think that there are some reasons why we "talk" to some and not others? And, oh by the way, I'm sure that Iran and the US can find each other to talk, if the need should ever arise. Votes? Public Approval Ratings?

QUOTE (Felix @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:39 AM) I have a flight that leaves for Utah at 6:45 tomorrow morning. Man, that's going to suck waking up at ~3:30. I'd stay awake all night and sleep on the plane.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:16 AM) Smallville. I'm not familiar with that show, is it the gay movie you were staring in?

Thank you. Wouldn't it then also be fair to say a producer in the US would also want to be paid similar prices?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) You are a freak. All you had to do was accept my offering of sunscreen but no, you thought you could handle 8 hr's of sun. Turns out you couldn't even handle 15 minutes of sun in the bleachers. Than again, I couldn't handle a middle finger 3 times the size of my other middle finger. Well OK, that is probably more information than we all want to know . . .

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:48 AM) But you do want a large penis right? What are you offering?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:50 AM) Which sounds really good in hindsight, but ignores the history of price targets that OPEC used to have. Hell their targets were in the range of where we are trading, minus $100. It makes much more sense that if prices had never gotten up that high in the first place, they would have stayed perfectly happy with crude oil in the range of the price targets, or a little higher. I'm kind of losing you here, could you elaborate?

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 09:58 AM) That is what is wierd about it,Iam the one usually looking at the patients like what the hell happened to you and now the tables have turned. My neck is peeling now. I work on the beach and manage to burn a couple times in the Spring. I just never get it through my head that we burn year round here.

Found this in another article I may post, but fits so well here. On software

All sports fans the past half dozen seasons have been very quick to accuse other team's players, while turning a blind eye to their own team. So I would agree many fans would be yapping if he was playing for the Twins. And I would disagree.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 09:47 AM) Knightni started this thread just so he could get to 15000 and he was to lazy to even finish the deed. His g/f has the same problem with him

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 09:38 AM) I had a sunburn that got my cheeks(not butt) and ears pretty bad a few days ago and now its peeling.Everyone is looking at me like Iam some sort of freak and lotion is not helping. Claim it was a patient with some exotic flesh eating disease and watch that ER clear out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2008 -> 09:33 AM) Between game threads and posting, there were plenty of 100 post days. Wasn't that why we started game threads instead of using the chat room?
