Oh, I sent him home with lots of pizza.

That's nice; hope mine wasn't too condescending!!

Oh yeah; you're right down the street from that joyfulness, yourself!!

He's known what he wants to do since before high school!!

So what are your initial impressions and how do Griff and his dad feel??

ThunderThighs wrote:Griff is feeling very good about it now. He got a lot of questions answered with meeting with his admissions counselor and Tyler.

His dad isn't here so he's still not completely supportive but not saying no, either. I guess that's about all we can hope for.

And you?

That was a nice compliment and you didn't believe it????

Back off!!! This is not your conversation!!!!

Big purply, thundery clouds sorta headed this way!!!

//smack for your presumptuousness.

ThunderThighs wrote:Oh, I'm good with it. Both the school & curriculum are a good fit for him. Just hoping his dad can help pay his half. It's a bit iffy at the moment. Not because he isn't will but more that he may not be able.

Apply for a scholarship; they gave our son one.

Okay, I take back what I said about no more bags of crap on Woot's birthday. If they're going to send me $10 worth of Woot coupons, then it's worth my $8 lights.

Az, he did get scholarships. It's covering his housing for the most part.

That's cool.

Have some pie!

Get him through his first year or so, and have him apply for a fed loan; Tyler did that; he's now invested in his own success.

Looks like t'uggets and m'augh have gone Anikin Skywalker on PWA.

G'night.

YES!
Finally a kindered spirit!

Hello Hello

not to spoil it but I don't think it will end well.

How great is that!

Well, not me, smilingjack.

Boo! Hiss!

pooflady wrote:Another GPS question. Anyone here have the traffic feature and, if so, what do you think about it?

I love ours. It does work well, especially in urban environments. I've got one that is a Garmin that is good at plotting around bad traffic jams. The weird thing is that the difference between traffic and nontraffic variants of the same GPS (Like Garmin's Nuvi 1350 and 1350T with lifetime traffic) is the cord that does the traffic. IE- some of the units allow you to save money by buying the regular version, and getting the traffic cord later.

Hi folks! It's Mr. SkekTek apparently posting as Mrs. Tek. Oops.

Was just about to welcome you to PWA.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of the Garmin 1450, but didn't know if the 1450T would be better.

dontwantaname wrote:Hello Mr Skek!

Are you home?

YES! Plane landed at 6:16 AM, drove home, hugged the wife and kids, took a shower, went to work and taught a partially incoherent and sleep-deprived class, then went back home and crashed for 2 hours. Still not 100% but since I spent 12 hours on planes/airports, can't complain I guess.

Sure you can. You can complain about anything here.

The traffic is pretty neat, but it's not totally necessary. The newer ones do a better job of adapting to upcoming traffic. The 1350T is fair at that.
