Ughhh, shoot them all, Rockman! I love animals, but those things really creep me out. I stepped on one when I was a kid wandering the beach behind my house. It still gives me nightmares..
and do you feed them to your geese?
Serious question for the dentists: how much do braces cost, without insurance? I need to get them. I also need to have my teeth "cut" so that they are all "level".
I guess you just hit your 7 year mark or did you start somethin new!
Beat me to it!
Oh man LYFH, funny to see this now. I actually went in the other direction and decided to get more serious about teaching. Working on getting my masters in education and working full time still. That, and three kids of my own, has me thinking right about now that I've lost my friggin mind. But if I can make it through the next year, I know I'll be glad I did it. Better money and more freedom.
tomscasagranda, as I recall, you were unemployed there for a while, so I very happy to read that you are working and loving what you do. Congratulations!
Yes I remember that too. Good luck for you tomcasagrande!
Oh and to you too latebloomer!

I was a butcher cutting up meat
I was a surgeon 'till I start to shake
I was a pitcher down in a slump
I was a fighter taken for a sucker punch
I was the boxer who can't get in the ring
I was a hooker losing her looks
I was a writer can't write another book
I was a tycoon drowning in debt
Hey, hey you got me rocking now

actual people who sometimes actually like and care about each other in some weird cyber way...
