Sure, that thing is HIDEOUS, but as long as it isn't practicing electric guitar, while stomping around on the deck singing at the top of it's lungs, or riding 4-wheelers in the yard outside my bedroom window, I'd rather have it than my current neighbors.

There is only one near me where I live now (NJ). Back in Maine, every one was a drive through. Maybe so people won't have to get out of their car in the cold?

Me too. I love running with just my thoughts and no music. It's like meditation for me.

OMG you mean I could totes wear my purple flannel owl pajamas out of the house? I'm pretty sure I've driven through Dunkin' in them already, but this trend suggests I could actually wear them to go and buy beer and ice cream? To chipotle for lunch? How about as teaching attire? Would my "sock monkeys watching TV" set…

So true. Thank goodness we never see them for family engagements anyway (they live far away).

Yeah, I'm with you. An MA or MS is **a ton** different than a PhD. I'm not sure why they're not distinguishing better between the two. I only spent SIX more years in school for the latter!

Seriously? I think that's an awesome jacket and it looks *fantastic* on her. Not all clothes need to trick people into thinking the wearer is super-skinny!

When I bought my first house, right out of grad school, my brother in law co-signed. The circumstances were strange, though. I had a good job and we could qualify for the home, BUT my student loan payments (which hadn't started b/c I didn't have that Aug. degree date yet), and wouldn't for another 6 months) were…

A graduate degree in Public Health does make sense if that's what you want to go into. But someone with an MS in Sociology alone can do all sorts of things— work as a survey researcher, work for non-profits, work in human resources, work for city governments/development, and even in advertising.

It's good to hear that you like it better than Wunderlist. I recently switched to Wunderlist but I **HATE** (loath, in fact) the look of it— wood panelling with red ribbons? Who designed that? And I'm not going to pay the upgrade fee just to switch the look of it.

Does a regular search in Amazon bring up these outlet deals, or do you have to search separately?

YES. And I tell my students to follow their passions.

Hell yeah, ABBA!

Seriously.

I've gotta say there are a lot of valid exceptions to these rules.

I made coffee for years in a regular drip coffee maker.

Yes. What they did was RACIST.

I have fond memories of my grandmother mailing me brownies and cookies at college all packed up in sliced up pieces of bread! And they were always soft and yummy!
