she's one of those people who wants everyone to know what she is doing because it makes her feel special.  she also almost killed me while we were on travel for work, so tolerating her "LOOK AT ME I'M SPECIAL!" attitude is particularly difficult.

but come on. buttercream caramels are not good for you no matter how many points they are!

(i may or may not have just added "CHOCOLATE IS BAD FOR YOU" on the chocolate box sticky note.)

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Opinions/Irritations/whatever : I agree to an extent, but I still think the nation as a whole uses conservative as the dirty word over liberal. My ILs are by majority a conservative family but my own is rather is mixed. I've always grown up around liberal views though.
Posted by musicalsunlight[/QUOTE]

See, I disagree (but I'm liberal so maybe I'm biased), I think the nation has turned liberal into a dirty word.    Every time I turn around people are lambasting democrats for being liberal. 

I have no problem with anyone who has views that are different from mine, although I avoid posting political stuff on facebook.  I like statuses of other liberal friends sometimes, but I have friends on both ends of the political spectrum and don't want to start an arguement.

I never refrigerate my lunches. No fridge is not a valid excuse. /gavel.

JW, I hope so.  He said that he eats healthy at Subway, mainly cold cuts and the low-fat dressing.  Of course, he counteracts that by having a "couple of cheeseburgers" when he goes to McDonalds ::facepalm::

I feel terrible getting on him, because I STILL weigh more than he does and he has never, EVER judged me for my weight or told me I look anything less than gorgeous.  I'm not concerned about the weight, I'm concerned about the cholesterol.

That's what's nice about AZ, no bugs AND no cold.  Then of course we are above 100 for more than half the year, but I'd take that over snow and mosquitoes the size of dinner plates any day.  LOL.

Haha, I believe it! J fell in love with the campus when researching it online. I think we are both romanticizing the south a lot in our search for grad schools. I'm more taken with Clemson right now though.

[QUOTE]In Response to Opinions/Irritations/whatever : Have you heard of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)?  That is their purpose - be the voice for a child when no one else is speaking for them.  They aren't attorneys, though, just volunteers that work with the court to make sure the kid is getting what they need or whatever.  They meet with the kid at least once or twice a month and find out what's going on with them.  I don't know how common it is nationally (as in if it's only in big cities or all throughout states), but this is my sorority's philanthropy, so I learned a lot about it in college.  I was all set to go through training in PA, but then I moved to NY and started grad school.  I'll probably do it once I graduate.

We have a similar program here with volunteer attorneys that work with foster kids,etc. Key word though: volunteer. I would LOVE to make a career being that type of attorney but I can't without some form of income.

You know...I have lived here my entire life and I can count the number of scorpions I've seen on one hand.  The valley is so developed now that they don't have very much habitat here.  Even all the time I've spent in the desert, I haven't come across them very much.  Never seen a rattlesnake either.

Musu, I think J should probably go to Florida. Just my opinion  They do have really good engineering programs.

Really? Huh. I have a classmate that is from the Phoenix area and she was telling me horror stories about how one of her relatives lives near trees that scorpions are drawn to. I am terrified of the concept that they come out of trees. If I ever am in AZ, I will not go near a tree.

Haha Anna, we looked at several FL schools but his specific interests within structural engineering weren't focused on anywhere there. So far our states have been narrowed to: SC, Texas, MS, LA and Hawaii.
