Grad school student loans suck. We can't pay extra towards the principal. It all goes to interest. Debt stressed me out greatly.

LOL that's funny. You'd probably be just the kind to make that category.

It used to be that the hardworking, earnest students outnumbered the buttheads. But the proportions have flipped, and now the buttheads are safely the majority.

Making a few tweaks this semester to discourage buttheads. It won't get rid of all of them, because that's impossible. But even a reduction of volume would be a blessing.

They are. I'm starting to realize that they can't plow in VA. In MD, at least our streets would be pavement when they were done. Here, you still have a decent amount of solid islush and ce on our street that you need to go slow.

I went to Burger King this morning to get breakfast on my way to the dealership. Trying to get into the drive through lane and to the kiosk to order was a solid sheet of ice.

What tweaks can you make to stop people from taking your class?

Sounds like you need to move back to MD.

I'd rather go have dinner and drinks with the members I have on ignore here. At least that would only be one night of pain instead of a lifetime.

Maybe he writes the following in the class description…


I am a grumpy, old man. Don’t think that you will take this course and skate through without doing the work. I’ve had enough buttheads in prior classes to know who will make it and who won’t. I only give out As and Fs, I’m not wasting my time reading all of your coursework. You either make a good impression over the semester (A) or you don’t (F).

Wow. 10 hours is more than I get in 2 nights. Jelly.
Glad you are feeling better.
My poor wife (softball for Glen) has basically been sick since THanksgiving.

Watching Mitch Jeter kick the game winning field goal for Notre Dame last night made me remember that if he was still a Gamecock we would’ve beaten LSU and Alabama and made the playoffs as a 1 loss team.

I think next Saturday night me and my friend are going to take a painting class. Never thought I’d ever do a painting class, but I was looking for something different for us to do and found it. She seems excited, I just hope my painting looks something like it should.

He became increasingly frustrated with inconsistent moderation.

He received a notice Sibs had reported his nomination of him in the Blowie thread and didn’t want nominated. This was the same nomination Sibs gave to me.

He replied and asked a couple questions with no response.

A post he made with a censored expletive directed at himself in the JBLR thread was reported and he was given a warning. He asked a couple questions and got no response.

After a while he decided to openly address the discrepancy by posting the screens shots of the modmail in JBLR.

He received a reply in 2 minutes from a mod. (Likely reported by a user). When he had the attention of the mod he asked the questions again and was told, paraphrasing, that will not be discussed.

Shortly after his inbox was wiped.

Shortly after that he was suspended.

BNut has gone on a reporting spree and neither him, nor the mods want to address the toxic behavior.

Wow, 100,000 mileage maintenance has gotten really expensive since I last did this with my old Saturn. Pretty much doubled in price and that's not even including needing new tires as I figured I could get those cheaper elsewhere.

Hilarious thing is as I'm sitting here in the waiting room, a salesmen from the dealership calls me to see if I want to trade the vehicle in for a new one.

Make sure you post a picture of your painting! We need to see if you have the same artistic ability as Bnut.
