Sheesh! I sure hope relief comes for you soon. :::sigh:::<br><br>RC: Yeah! Yucko to the ol sinus headaches. Just when I think its gonna break it whams me yet again. Dust is my biggest trouble maker and I think California is probably the dustiest place I have ever lived and then there is the smog! Aaack! Thanks for the kudos on the graphics. They are both from a stock photo CD that I have but the one of the woman I altered. <br><br>MARY: Yup! Pretty much the same thing here. Communication skills were lacking, that and teamwork cause every freakin class requires group assignments too! However, in the program that I am a part of, most of us are working in the real world already. Weve developed the skills on the job! Heck, a presentation would be fine even. But when every class is a group presentation of the material that we are covering, it leaves me to believe that the teacher is slacking.<br><br>SLO: Its amazing how wonderfully nice the expanded word limit is.

The docs out here dont seem to be very aggressive. My docs in Dallas were soooo much better! See just seeing 99 turns me off. I even tried it again and only got to about 10.

They just dont seem to take it all that serious here since so many people have the problem. I dont mind the presentations too much. What I mind is doing his job and suffering through everyone elses presentation! ;-) Yah know I think my mom did try to buy the bird but the farmer wouldnt sell him.

Ummm, I dont remember his shriek being all that bad but then again my hearing is damaged. But, I thought it was from the machine gun I sat next too one night while in the Army doing range detail.<br><br>LISA: But, yah know, I think when it comes to humans. There are far more beautiful women than there are men! Your comment reminded me of my trip to the Philly Zoo as a kid and what I learned from the turtles!
