Couldn't agree more - my son is 23 now - has one of those crippling debts u mentioned and cannae get a job anywhere! The chance of him getting housed is zero, mainly due to the amount of immigrants here - but thas another story - so i have this grumpy, unemployed lad with scads of qualifications going to waste...he HAS worked, but like u say - for peanuts...soon as he gets a job the government dock our benefits which we have to ask the boy to make up - is a no-win situation...

And by the way, her grades will get her into VA Tech. and I'll pay the expenses for the rest of my life, but she will attend a major college. I want more for her. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Sunday, October 17, 2010 1:12:51 PM)

I just hope Flora's local high school stays open long enough for her to graduate. If not, then I will be forced to drive her to school each day to Bland High and that would really mess up my routine. Her bus stop is not safe. She would have to stand on the main road through our little town which is just a 20 foot turn from the interstate, and she would be the only child standing at that stop. NOT going to happen.

It's the name of the county. Bland. Great right? HA!!!
I would be happy to have her finish out her days as a Rocky Gap High girl. And no,..... I wouldn't leave a stray dog at the site the school has designated as her "bus stop". We live on a dead end road so they considered it too difficult for the bus to turn around in this area, although if they got rid of the 18 wheeler who parks there 5 days out of 7 the bus could do a loopty on her stop and pick her up at her home.
Very smart move about not leaving a girl alone at such a stop! Two things strike me as sad about such a situation: first, that you have to worry about such things alone and second that too many idiot parents DON'T!

My question is mundane (and completely unrelated to the beginning of this post), but I want to know: What is the maximum mileage for a school bus without completely replacing the engine???? Only thoughts like this occur to you while driving for a long time, and happening to pass a few "reassigned" school buses.
Vail, good for you going to see Halford!
Becks, I hope Metallica brings their "real" Metal to the show.

So here's a mini review of Metallica finally, after a busy few days lol! They opened with two tracks from Death Magnetic, which were pretty good, but for me the highlight was For Whom the Bell Tolls. Other oldies they played included Seek and Destroy, One, And Justice for All, Master of Puppets. The special effects they had were excellent - my friend and I were a fair way back in the seated area (with a good view) and could feel the heat coming off the flames they had occasionally. There was heaps of lasers and other nifty stuff, and coffin shaped lighting rigs that moved around. Plenty of idiots at the gig too, and plenty of people who were there just cos it was Metallica. Reason I could tell this with one dude is as follows - as anyone who has been a 'proper' fan of Metallica would know, the Bay Area thing pops up often. One of the t-shirts at the merch cart had Bay Area on it. A young dude (maybe 17?) was standing next to me and said 'Ba area??? What's that? I don't think it's Bat Area??' then someone finally explained to him it was Bay Area. Hmmm, lol. Anyways, the gig was great, the best bits involved the oldies, but overall it was worth the money and I am glad I went. Seen as Craig missed out I bought him a tour shirt and posted it to him

Other oldies they played included Seek and Destroy, One, And Justice for All, Master of Puppets. The special effects they had were excellent - my friend and I were a fair way back in the seated area (with a good view) and could feel the heat coming off the flames they had occasionally. There was heaps of lasers and other nifty stuff, and coffin shaped lighting rigs that moved around. Plenty of idiots at the gig too, and plenty of people who were there just cos it was Metallica. Reason I could tell this with one dude is as follows - as anyone who has been a 'proper' fan of Metallica would know, the Bay Area thing pops up often. One of the t-shirts at the merch cart had Bay Area on it. A young dude (maybe 17?) was standing next to me and said 'Ba area??? What's that? I don't think it's Bat Area??' then someone finally explained to him it was Bay Area. Hmmm, lol. Anyways, the gig was great, the best bits involved the oldies, but overall it was worth the money and I am glad I went. Seen as Craig missed out I bought him a tour shirt and posted it to him

That's probably the most popular Metal song out there. Hell, before hearing about Judas Priest I knew about Enter Sandman for a while. It's a good tune. I probably would have cheered for The Four Horsemen or Whiplash, if they played those at all.

Other oldies they played included Seek and Destroy, One, And Justice for All, Master of Puppets. The special effects they had were excellent - my friend and I were a fair way back in the seated area (with a good view) and could feel the heat coming off the flames they had occasionally. There was heaps of lasers and other nifty stuff, and coffin shaped lighting rigs that moved around. Plenty of idiots at the gig too, and plenty of people who were there just cos it was Metallica. Reason I could tell this with one dude is as follows - as anyone who has been a 'proper' fan of Metallica would know, the Bay Area thing pops up often. One of the t-shirts at the merch cart had Bay Area on it. A young dude (maybe 17?) was standing next to me and said 'Ba area??? What's that? I don't think it's Bat Area??' then someone finally explained to him it was Bay Area. Hmmm, lol. Anyways, the gig was great, the best bits involved the oldies, but overall it was worth the money and I am glad I went. Seen as Craig missed out I bought him a tour shirt and posted it to him

Dang...and all this time I thought they were from SoCal. Good to know!
That guy must have been either a noob or just a casual fan. Maybe before that concert the only song he knew from Metallica was Enter Sandman. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, October 15, 2010 11:31:01 PM)

Oh man that is a terrible chain of events! Computer problems are always a pain in the behind, I am still trying to save up for a new laptop after unsuccesfully trying to fix my old one for over a year. I am lucky to have never had anything stolen (despite all the CDs and video games I own as well as other valuables!) though I am always as vigilant as possible. Well it can only get better from here and I hope you get well from your throat infection! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by kiamat from Wednesday, October 13, 2010 10:17:27 AM)

We kept getting beat offensively almost the whole game and we almost came back to win too. Ah well at least we are still doing well this season though our schedule will soon be hell when we face some of the stronger Pac-10 opponents such as Oregon and Stanford (both on the road too). I also had Monday off too thanks to Columbus Day giving me more time to relax. That's whats happening with me. Hope everyone had a good weekend too and I want to hear how everyone else is doing!

Hey, PK!! How's it going?? Good luck with those ingrown toenails. They must hurt alot. And speaking of doctor, I'll have to find one for my eyesight soon. As of late I feel as though I can see better without glasses than with them on, which is probably a bad thing. Plus, I ran out of contact lenses while in Berlin, so I gotta replenish my supply soon.
My weekend was great! Mainly because I bought my ticket to see Halford in Anaheim this December!!! Can't wait!!!!!

Overall my weekend was great and but now I have to go to a podiatrist (foot doctor) to fix an ingrown toe nail that is bad on both sides but fortunately on only one big toe. I have to get there at least 15 - 20 minutes early to get some paperwork done since I am a new patient with this doctor (just like this morning for the checkup) and then have to get a little procedure done. Plus I have to take antibiotics for a week but that's not too bad so far.
