If anyone would like to put my daughter as the referral, click HEARD ABOUT FROM A GS TROOP, select 4900 and Julia M as the referring Scout. We would very much appreciate it. grin

I just told my niece that college students need to organize and protest the cost of text books. It's a racket!!

My favorite is that the e-books aren't that much cheaper!

And the author/prof that requires his book, and the latest edition when all he has done has changed the preface or intro.

Or the prof that requires the latest version of the book but doesn't use it at all. I've had books that weren't cracked the entire semester.

There's a special place in he11 for textbooks sellers.

Anything the government subsidizes gets very expensive.

Look out for community college costs if they become free!!!!!

And they try to sell them back and are offered $5 for a $200 book.

I rented most of my books. The only ones I purchased were Intermediate Accounting and Cost Accounting. I figured I would have to revisit those. Then I got a job doing compliance at a bank and literally use NO accounting skills. Oh well.

I tried to get to the bookstore as soon as I could in order to buy used for my required books as much as possible. Even still I don't think I ever spent more that a couple of hundred on books. Granted, that was 20 years ago. My niece paid $800 for her 1st semester books and almost $500 for this semester. crazy

I bought/sold almost all of mine online, except for the school/professor specific versions, and most of those I handled via private sale with another student. Everyone is better off that way!

I had a couple of semesters where my books were only $500.00 or so... I thought that was pretty cheap. I spent close to $1000.00 on books several semesters.

my dog just tossed up 1/2 of my sleep apnea headset this morning. It disappeared about 2 weeks ago. One more half to go and I am all set again. ^_^

Thought my hearing aid died a few days ago. Took it to the audiologist, who fixed it for no charge. ^^

Want to really freak your coworkers out? Have a water bottle full of beet juice on your desk. It sure looks like blood, and I think some of them have even believed me when I said it was. "Oh, this? It's what I took from the last person that messed up a HMDA reporting form"
