Good morning or Good afternoon (depending on where you are
geographically),

I cannot figure out how to copy, paste, and reply to a specific part of
a posting, so bear with me.

A few responses here:

Penny,
I am finished GoF so no spoilers for me anymore.

Replying to message 5810:
I am 31, a divorced mother of a nine year old (well, she will be
tomorrow), everyone say Happy Birthday Kelsey, and three years ago
I gave up everything to go back to college. I saved money for years,
paid off my car, quit my full-time job and began waiting tables on the
week-ends to pay the bills. I am now a Senior, have been on the Dean's
List, and the President's List for each and every semester over the last
three years. I will graduate next year-Thanks, please, no applause! My
friends and family are always asking how do I do it and raise my daughter,
who is in a parochial school and Honor Roll student going on four years
now? My reply is Just Do It, oh Nike uses that one, don't they? I worked
and still work my butt off. I do it for myself and I am now going to
give myself the biggest pat on the back that I hope it throws me through
the window. Here goes...O.K. I'm up again! I certainly hope that if and
when your child/children go to you one day and say "Dad, I am going to
college," that your response is "Don't pat yourself on the back about it."

Replying to message 5831:
Stand up and pat yourself on the back so hard that it leaves a mark. I
know all too well what you are going through and just keep going!

Thanks for allowing me my Saturday morning rant.

My apologies for not being as humorous as Neil. BTW, I hope he isn't
still in flames.
