@ freckles cassie:
I haven’t seen PB around in awhile, so you may have to go it alone. I have an iPhone and have the Beach House modified for that. It works pretty well.

Yes, Virginia is beautiful, but it is still the South. You need to get north of the Mason-Dixon for college.

GDP, it’s moments like this I so appreciate your place on this planet, and your voice.

Love ya, bless ya, well done, ma’am.

Yer SO right.

*G*

So – college. They have this thing called interdisciplinary where you can have 2 or 3 majors and not decide on one thing.

Also, Virginia is really pretty. I get to see the beltway around Washington DC tomorrow morning but I don’t know how much of the actual city I will see.

Virginia!

The Virginia’s~

I sure hope somewhere in yer exploits you get the love for the grass, a mando, fiddle, banjo, or dobro.

Cuz The Virginia’s are FULL of great music that should touch yer soul, and shake yer bootie.

Dang I hope you get exposed to Da Grass, and fall in love with acoustic made music.

Along with all yer other dreams and ambitions.

Good luck ya froshlady!!!!!

*G*

I bought two different kinds of ear plugs and I charged my iPod also as backup. And this hotel room is like 2 rooms and I am on the sofabed.

Dang, yer an adult, already.

Welcome, and let us know if ya need any help.

We is here for ya.

Well, here’s some more. At Common Dreams. Dr. Kernan Manion poses for a photograph in his officer in Hampstead, N.C., Friday, Nov. 20, 2008. Dr. Manion a psychiatrist was fired after he complained about conditions for his patients at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., In e-mails shown to The Associated Press, Manion had questioned why the clinic, a series of bug-infested trailers with paper-thin walls, was located near a firing range on the 240-square-mile base.

back up for a bit. not really cold or flu symptoms, so i’m not contagious! Just extremely weak, shaky, & exhausted. I think it is too many months of overtime catching up with me.

Those are symptoms, not just tired type ones either. Hope you get some good rest, and fight off that bug that’s chasing you!

I think it’s very cool that Cassie is getting the chance to go for this look-see!

Cassie, way cool! Virginia is beautiful, i loved the skyline drive, DC is amazing with all the museums (my late mom-&-aunt-in-law lived there). I concur some of the other bumz, go to school in the north! The whole eastern seaboard is pretty mild. Compared to, say, Carleton (Paul Wellsonte taught there) or St. Olaf. The better schools are mostly north, and you’re a way desirable student.

I’m up for a bit more, but I’m finally getting myself.

And the part about talking *down* to the target audience is more in the line of authoritarian ideology. Doesn’t lend itself to independent thinking.
