LOL!

28 on the ACT (took it way back in 1993).

I second this. Jif makes the best peanut butter.

LOL!!!!

What I want to know is how anyone associated with 'the interview' couldn't tell that he was drunk prior to the interview taking place. Why would you process to interview someone that's had a few too many?

Soul-less is the company I last worked at. One of the engineers I worked with lost his mother-in-law and brother-in-law months apart and would only give him one day a piece inspite of the fact he worked for the company 20+ years. He ended up having to use vacation time to help his wife to take care of things. It's corporate America that is soul-less more than the general population, or so it seems to me.

Before he gave up on the idea of going to college, he wanted to go to MSU or NC State (after he realized his chances of getting into West Point were near zero). His buddies' sister graduated in 2001 from MSU.

Is that anything like pillowtalk?

Brian has boxes and boxes of hats. He'll either wear one of his Packers hat, Motorcraft hat, MSU hat, KC Royals hat, Mariners hat or his Senators hat. He has a Carolina Hurricanes hat which I stole from him and now I wear somewhat regularly.

When I was a wee lass, somewhere between the ages of 8 and 10, Santa gave me a book entitled, "Of Irish Ways." I was thinking about it a couple weeks ago and my mom said it's still around, in my brother's book case. My favorites besides the above were FunPages tablets and the packages my Grandparents gave me - a pyramid of presents tied up with red and green yarn. For some reason I can't think of exact things I received for Christmas other than the few things I listed...

Competitive for about 2 months during 2003 (mid July to about mid September). They need to be competitive for a full season (as least) before you will see increases in attendance (in my humble opinion of course).

Can't wait to get home and add my hamsters!!! (2 are still alive and the other died in October.) Cool thread.

I am amazed and how good the floor looks, I wasn't sure once the old finish was sanded, how the floor would look. We went with what appears to be a natural type finish (it had been a dark finish originially) and it matches with the trim and furniture quite well.

More than half the floor is pre-existing and it is hickory. We had priced tearing it up and putting down an entirely new oak floor, but it was cheaper to patch and add on to the pre-existing floor. According to the flooring guy, hickory is supposed to be a hard wood and actually is a bit more expensive than a typical oak floor, something about that it isn't as easy to come by as it used to be - that explains why hickory cabinets were more expensive than the cherry wood cabinets we ended up purchasing.

Oh yeah. His dad and the floor guys said the floors were completed, so I took that to mean that they sealed the floors. I'd better call Brian's dad to check and make sure the floors are sealed.

They were coated with something, I have to get the bill to look and see exactly what they did. (Brian and I were at work and his dad was there while they worked on the floors.) I know there is some sort of coating on it (there is a sheen to the floor in the clean areas).

That's what Brian's dad said (re: Pergo). I can't wait until the kitchen is completely finished (it will be somewhere between 2 weeks and a month before that happens). It's a real b**** trying to move back into your house around Christmas...Brian is going to finish his Christmas shopping tomorrow night (for his dad and myself), while I was able to finish my Saturday (he had to work so he couldn't finish his shopping then).

Thundercats Popeye (The older ones are the better ones.) Tom & Jerry Woody Woodpecker Smurfs Flintstones Ghostbusters George of the Jungle Underdog Rocky and Bullwinkle He-Man (Skeletor rocked!) I'm sure I'll be adding to this list sooner or later...

It's real wood (hickory, specifically) for the living room, dining room and the two hallways (oh yeah, also the 3 closests that are on the first floor). The kitchen has gray ceramic tile, which should be quick and easy (as soon as we put the sliding doors are put back on the tracks for the closets). We have two hamsters so there is no pet traffic and as for people traffic, we shall see if our friends start showing up again (of course they have been missing during the reconstruction - if they showed up, we might call in a few favors and ask for help). We went with carpet for the second floor (and the stairway leading to upstairs, or downstairs, depending how you look at it), except the bathroom and the furnace/laundry room - both those have tile; blue-gray for the bathroom and peachy sort of color for the laundry room.

I thought so, my dad knew we just finished have the floors done and he never said anything about not being able to use certain products on it for awhile - and he is a janitor...er...maintenance engineer ! I tried to get a hold of Brian's sister (she has wood flooring in parts of her house), to see if the floor guys said anything about a waiting period, but she wasn't home last night. I know what I am doing when I get home after taking my mom grocery shopping! And I don't have to worry about Brian trapsing everywhere - the Packers and have to get up at 4:30AM will keep him busy upstairs! (I just hope I can stay awake long enough to complete this task! Thanks Steff!

We had some pre-existing wood floors filled in and added onto with some new flooring (hickory wood was used) and they finished the sanding/finishing of the floors on Friday. Here's my question: I bought a Swiffer to clean the floors. My future mother-in-law said that I should check and see if I can use this yet (it says on the box that it can be used on wood floors), or how long I need to wait before using this (might damage the floor). Does anyone know about wood flooring and how long one needs to wait before using something like this? My dad gave me a bottle of Murphy's Oil (Soap, can't remember the correct name for sure - that's what happens when you only get a few hours of sleep), should I use this instead for the time being? (The floors were muddied up yesterday while moving furniture back into the house.)

And this is the main reason I refused to move to Columbus, OH last December...

I think this as well. To some degree, outside of being observant, there really isn't much an average citizen can do. By observant, I don't mean accusing everyone and their brother (or sister) of something either.

I am. I am sick of the whole freaking thing. Just do it already and screw these damned 'deadlines' we keep reading about.
