Are the Girl Scouts doing the cookies for the troops again this year? Yes - here is the link: https://www.texascookietime.org/forms/tct2015/t2t.phpIf 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 grin](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif)

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.

Anything the government subsidizes gets very expensive.
Look out for community college costs if they become free!!!!!

Outs were rented and included with tuition. I think I ever recall ever buying a book in college.

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"
