    Thank you. Its not a big one or anything... but we are proud of our 3 years, esp. given that no one thought we would make it when we started dating, and even fewer thought we would make it after we had Connor..

    I'm here for the moment. About to head off to school to buy my books for the semester. Maternal and prental health and pediatrics. $130 for a freaking book and a workbook. Oh, well, I don't buy used.

    Sounds like design books. I had one a couple semesters ago that was 135 dollars used... glad I don't have to that anymore.

    The one I had last semester weighed 35 pounds and was $250 :eek:!!

    It was my medical/surgical book. Needed a rolling backpack to carry it around campus. :p

    Lol. I feel for you. There were a lot of nursing students at my school, and some of them were carrying around stacks of books larger than them. LOL.

    Happy Anniversary... Al, I hope you have a relaxing night.
    Wizz... I just read your story... I have to say it was a great one, but I will be honest when it comes to dogs, I am just like the guy in the story. I love my cats, I don't have to take them on walks... Have a great day everyone!

    Not long? Well I think it is great. On our tenth we took a trip together, (first ever alone trip) It was so good and we stayed in Oregon took the trailer and left everything for a whole week. How weird... I have to say that lot's of things have happened from our third year through our 12th, it is all good, even the bad... Happy Third Anniversayry and many many more sweet...

    Yes, good day. It's Al's third anniversary, I got my books and new cell phone. Very good day indeed.

    I just wish the heat would pass and we would get some rain.
  • Aug 14, 2007, 10:03 AM
    startover22
    Rain would be pretty nice. I love the rain but not too much of it. Books and new cell huh... LUCKY!
    I just hope it doesn't rain this weekend, the big garage sale and all...

    We haven't had a DROP of rain in over 3 months. We have water rationing, lawn watering bans, burn bans, etc. It is horrible.
  • Aug 14, 2007, 10:13 AM
    alkalineangel
    Hmmm new cell, is it fancy?

    I'd like some rain too...
  • Aug 14, 2007, 10:13 AM

    That is downright scary. Our water is so low in Okeechobee, they want to use water that is chemically poisoned to fill it up. What the hell do we do??

    Wow, that is really bad shattered... sorry sweet

    We haven't had rain in about 3 weeks. My lawn is crunchy yellow. :(

    I love the thunderboomers as well, always bodes well for a good sleep.

    How about all of us drought stricken girls run outside and do a rain dance. Now, I am off to start reading Maternal Child Nursing Care. I think I'll start with the chapter on Infertility, hmmm or maybe birth control.

    Good to know at least some people are in need of rain:D

    In the South Asian region half the people are stranded and homeless cause of the rain,not to mention the mudslides...

    Sorry to rain on your fun talk:p
