Well, I got the first critical response of my diploma done way ahead of schedule and to a standard that had both my teacher and our representative who works in the industry astounded. I'm chuffed with that. One less pressure to deal with.

Hardly consequential but my poor luck with mobiles has struck once again as mine has begun to systematically fail.

Molly, our older dog, has some form of large lump growing on her chest. She;'s been all out of sorts lately, its got people worried. Dad's a great superstitous one, and deaths always come in threes. My great uncle, his dad...and then....his concern is that this will be the next one.

You can get a more-than-adequate refracting model for backyard purposes for $150 or less. I don't know where you live in FL, but if it's an urban area you might want to think about a spot away from too much light pollution.

Sorry, Nick. Sometimes this time of year brings it - try to stay in a spot with lots of sunlight when you can, or at least with bright light when your indoors.

My wife always says that, too. Bear in mind that quite often, older dogs develop cysts or fleshy tumors which aren't necessarily indicative of anything too bad.

Well, today I had a good time in English class, it's an AP class, and we sat in a circle with our desks, ate cookies and brownies, and talked all period... :confused:

But this girl, I've mentioned her before, well, Stitch did, the ditzy redhead... yeah, she said something really stupid, don't remember that comment actually, and the teacher asked, "is that blond I see coming in?" and she then starts saying how she isn't blond but her mom is, and then some other stuff, and then finally says, "I'm not blond, I'm Polish" and she reafirmed it twice, and it confused everyone in the class. Because we weren't sure how the 2 were supposed to be together. Oh well, it was a good laugh...

And I'm a little better today, bob and I beating the crap out of each other helped a little bit... :mrgreen:

Sorta like me vs the door. :D

We're home! :dance:

I logged Uzume on when we got in, but she went to sleep in the recliner in the living room, so I got back on.

Man, that's a hell of a long drive, partly with sh*tty two-lane roads and a 70 mph speed limit. :roll:

What's there to do? Walk in, tell her how much you love her, then: "I do", cue flowers, get to the hotel (or vacation), and then the obligatory conjugation.

Easy peasy.





...Unless of course you guys decided to make a big fancy deal out of it. :roll: In that case: good luck. :lol:

That would be the joke, my friend. I don't believe in fancy weddings. :wink:

Justice of the peace would be fine by me, if I ever actually decided to do that at all.

Justice and Peace - 2 things you won't be getting much of after once you're married.

You'll be ok Light, just don't say someone elses name when it comes to the vows. Or the wedding night.

See, that just wouldn't feel right for me.
