My college was over $30,000 a year and that didn't make me any smarter. LOL,

lol... I wouldn't put that on my resume though... :)

hehehe...yeah, I omitted that part. :-)

Okay, I must live a poverty stricken, sheltered life:(

haha yeah good idea. Did you enjoy going to the college you attended?

I googled his school. Holy Mother it's nice!!

Kandice, I don't have money either. lol. I went because they offered me a full scholarship and they were close to Ivy league. It's one of three schools in CT which they label as mini-ivys....all the Ivy school rejects go to them. lol.

Linda, it was okay. As far as education it's one of the best hand's down and there are many opportunities for students and alumni. However, as far as college life experience, I mean like dorm rooms, parties and such I hated it. It's mostly Caucasion uber-Republicans with loads of money and plenty of silver spoons in their mouths. I've never met so many pompous people in my life till I went there. lol. It was just a totally different environment that I never got used to.

Here's where I went:

Kathryn thanks for the recommend on the Peeps! So trying it!

Dionisia like the new smores! I am so trying it.

We should almost do a Peeps cookbook!

I don't like the hair either!

I tell people my BS is the most expensive piece of paper I own!

I'm a victim of GoodReads insomnia!

Welcome to the club!

I don't like marshmallows.

ouch, those eyes...how can you even notice anyhthing else?

I like any kind of marshmallow and think I have confessed already that I have been known to eat an entire bag, when I am unhappy, in this way:

Take a piece of tin foil, put the marshamllows on it about 2 inches apart and put in the oven, middle rack, on broil. It toasts them perfectly, they get golden brown, and I can eat, and eat, and eat....

Where I grew up in England I was surrounded by public schools (translation for Americans - private schools)
I can remember 2 good schools for girls and one posh school for boys just in my town. We were also a few miles away from one of the most exclusive boy's schools where you have to be enrolled before you are born to have a serious chance of getting in.

I was excepted as a day pupil at but even with a serious bursary(grant) my parents couldn't afford it.

Fiona Peeps are so addictive.

Jeane: we should just send you the bunny ears to try.

Kandice thanks for the oven toasting idea. I love marshmellows. We BBQ all summer long so we do smores or toasted marshmellows on the Webber after dinner. I always have the big marshmellows on hand. Have too!

Now I'm craving smores!

Emilee!!! What are bunny ears?

Peeps come in chick shapes or bunnies. So I could cut you off the ears they would be very little.

but it would still be marshmellows....

I love the little different colored/flavored ones. They're so yummy. I can't eat them very often because I get sick but I can't resist.

My youngest daughter is the Peeps addict in our house. We give her all of ours. My favorite was always those hard marshmallow eggs with the hard candy shell on the outside - especially the green ones. I had a Maverick that color in college that we called the easter egg car.

Hey where did everyone go?

Helllloooooo!
Heeellllllllooooooo!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, i wish I could say reading...well actually: reading!

I have 2 books open on the sofa.
My computer is on, my notebook is charging and updating on the coffee table and I'm up to my ears in filing and paperwork. And I have a meeting in an hour.
I might get some reading done tonight.

I am only capable of using the lapop, reading and having lots of cups of tea and camomilla....belly decide to do that to me. well have to listen.

I'm currently checking in on my friends here and stuffing my face with McDonald's Cini-Melts. I buy a whole bunch of them uncooked from there and just warm them up at home. Yummy!

That's funny! If it were my cat he'd eat the books!

How is it that I get the hiccups 5 times today??

I hate getting the hiccups in the middle talking to my kid when he's misbehaved. It just takes any authority away.

hiccups are annoying especially if you can't get rid of them. I feel so sorry for those people who have had them a long time. That would just suck!

And the smurf is back! I was just busy so haven't been in here much! I know everyone missed me a ton!

LOL!

someone has to make you do oral maths very fast and the go away!

My husband NEVER, EVER gets hiccups, so he is irritated when we get them. I hate the super deep ones that feel like an alien trying to be born out of your chest!

root beer is sounding pretty good right now....

root beer, chocolate cake, and an enchilada ;)

I'm hearing thunder outside. YAY! We need a good, warm rain to get those morels growing. Plus I love rainy days, yet another excuse to curl up with a book.
I just hope it stops by afternoon. Have to go to the "big" city about twenty miles away and I hate to drive in the rain with my son in the car. I get so paranoid.

I hear you on that Grace. I prefer not to have my son in the car during rain storms, after 8 on a weekend or holiday night, and during rush hour traffic. But, it makes me more cautios, and I'm sure you too...so you'll be fine ;)

Rush hour is horrible. Especially around here where our road growth has not kept rate with our population growth.

my byfriend gets them often but he is so annoyed whenever I have it once in a while...

My son actually had the hiccups the other night when he was reading to me. I scared him. It totally scared the hiccups away but I made him cry. All I did was yell "Boo".

I am now laughing about it but he didn't like it much. I told him it stopped his hiccups!

When I was about 14, it was actually on July 4th at my Friends Grandpa's house I had the hiccups all day. Her whole family tried to scare them out of me. I tried drinking water while standing on my head. All of the old wives remedies. Nothing worked.

Okay, I'm having a bit of a dilemma and I thought maybe you guys could help me. I'm going through my books, trying to thin them out. I found Madame Bovary and I can't decide whether or not to get rid of it. The fact that it's a classic gives me pause but on the other hand I hated it and probably won't read it again. It's not a special copy or anything, just picked up from a yard sale. I'm a compulsive book hoarder and don't know what to do. HELP!
