say aye!


Or possibly some time in the near future when home values are up, 401ks are returning 12% a year, oil is $35.00 a barrel, North Carolina State university wins a bowl game, and Paladins in EQ2 are actually shown some love.

Maybe 5 years ain't enough.

My home is up in value, by about 20% in the last year. And my RRSP earns about that.

I don't really care about the rest of your list. I think I'm going to stay in the current time. Although, maybe the Dolphins will have a serviceable team by then. I may have to think this over a little.

I doubt it, their recruitment pool is shrinking pretty rapidly. Especially if they want to field ateam made of freshwater dolphins.

Your probably right.

/sigh

Only other time I felt like this was my senior year in college and I just wanted to get school done with. The 20's were great. So far the 30's haven't lived up to the hype.

I just want tonight and tomorrow morning to be over.

I'm 3 months short of 50 and due to family history, we decided to schedule my 2nd Colonoscopy early tomorrow morning.

I'm in my 3th hour of prep and this is the worst part. Luckily they have a tasteless laxative now, that can be mixed with whatever clear liquid I want. Sadly beer, wine and vodka isn't on the list of approved drinks.

Tomorrow is the easy part. Afterwards I'm going out for a large breakfast to make up for being on liquid diet for 2 days. Might go somewhere that serves Bloody Mary's.

Hope everything comes out okay, so to speak.

Well, you're stuck with Pennington for the forseeable future so you may need to wait till he retires. Sucker!
