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.

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!

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"
