========== The Morning Thread ==========

[darrend505]

Morning all,

Got a 97/100 on Paper #2!

Now to go and read all two pages of the thread...

Morning Andrew, did you see the new Vonnegut book out called, "While Mortals Sleep"?

I haven't but will now look for it!

It's a collection of some of his unpublished short stories! Found it at the library yesterday! I walked by it saw and the Vonnegut eye on thecover and was like this one is new, have never seen it before! Going to start it tomorrow!

Sounds good. I am on a Don Delillo kick lately. Re-read White Noise. Now reading his Libra (historical novel about Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK assassination). Checked out Harlot's Ghost by Norman Mailer (novel about the postwar CIA). Freakin' thing is 1200 pages!!!

New Stephen King book this fall!

Meanwhile, I get paid to deal with students who refuse to read...

No justice, I tell ya.

Morning kids

As for the Cubs game yesterday, come on it is April and the team in is the Diamondbacks as well as it was a Monday day game cold with a threat of rain also. So I would think it would be a small crowd. :lol:

As for who ever is getting the HTC Inspire I have had this for about 2 months now,and I like the phone, you will have to train it
if you plan on posting things that may have a different spelling then the normal because it will pick what it thinks you mean and post it
in your sentence.

What is this reading thing you talk about, this may be why I can not spell correctly since I don't know how to read.

:lol: It ok I'm beyond help anyway, just ask a few members on this site they will tell you, since they have told me many a times.
Andrew on the phone I have it has an e-reader and I have started to read White Fang by Jack London, I just started it a few days ago.
I'm a slow reader, I'm about maybe a third of the way thru it.

I do so far. I even think I had read it in High School, for a class I didn't finish since I did not graduate high school back in the early 80's.
I did get a GED though about 10 years later ::facepalm:: Something I'm not real proud of but, I finished none the less.

Nothing to be ashamed of, Richard. Chris was a high school dropout herself and later got her GED and then went to university to get two degrees (currently working on a third).

I "graduated" high school with a stellar 1.6 GPA, myself....

Ok someone's clock is a little early, it is only 09:57 here and our air-raid siren is going off.
They test it everyone first Tuesday of the month at 10 am though.

 

[JackLondon]

Keep your head down, Richard.

Okay, off to work, I guess...

:lol: When I left I only needed to make-up 2 classes I was not going to pass. So I would have been able to do it in the Summer, but I said screw this and left with about only 4 weeks left. When I left I was working a 2.9 GPA. I have taken some college courses and would like to go back and get some kind of degree, but with me working full-time I think I would be attending college until I retire and I may get it by then.

 

[Pine Tar]

Later Andrew and it seems the threat is over now since the siren has stopped :lol:

I need to get a few packages out to some of my FCB friends on here. Well atleast I think they are anyway.
Peace out guys, I will check-in later from work, going in early again today, since we are short-handed now do to
someone leaving the Company.

Richard - She has been in Fort Collins, CO since Friday. We will most likely be moving there at the end of the summer. She has been chosen for a fully paid graduate school scholarship at Colorado State University :shock: This is GREAT too because she also gets a job working with the professor for 40 hours a week that will generate both a paycheck on her side away from school as well as give her 2 years hands on working experience that has been needed for the jobs she has continuously applied for and got denied. Its insane in some work areas...they want tons of schooling with amazing grades, but they also want years of experience so it sucks for people like Jen that got their masters from college recently as there is no worked experience.

Andrew - White Fang is definitely a great book!!! I can't remember the authors name, but my favorite book growing up as a kid (pre teen years) was a book called Hatchet...does that ring a bell?? Story about a young kid taking a puddle jumper plane through Alaska to meet his dad. The plane crashes and the book is about his survival in the wilderness for weeks before people were able to find him.

back. Just sold my lot in the transaction section. It was a really good deal for the buyer. Needed the fundage for a Joe Frazier auto though.
