Hi Mrs. M., bye Rick!
That's what he said, Falcon. How is school going?
OK, it keeps me busy. My browser's really slow tonight. How've you been?
Good, but very busy. Sometimes I think I get too many irons in the fire! LOl, of course, that's my fault, huh?! 
Did you watch the now infamous Jackson-Timberlake last night?
The same here--too many irons in the fire. 
But at least it beats boredom.

Who has time for boredom? 
No, Mrs. M., I never watch TV, lol. There's too much interesting stuff on the computer! And DVDs are usually better than whatever's on the tube.
The kids had a super bowl party here so I was a captive viewer! Jabber and i watched the ads!! Well,I didn't see it, but Jabber and the kids did..Timberlake yanked Janet Jackson's cover from her breast. It made the top news today. People were not too thrilled about it.
Christine,
Hope you're still around.

I heard about that but didn't see it. I've never cared about sports. But the halftime stuff was one of the main topics of conversation today, lol!
Hi Rick, I'm still here. Sorry if I messed up your posts.
Yes, I bet! I am not a sports fan either, but I like the ads during the Super Bowl so I watched them. A bunch of us were on during the game and had a pretty nice time yacking.
Nite everyone. 
See you all later...Sweet dreams!

Christine,
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You didn't mess it up. Because of your post, I deleted my post. I don't often do that - and usually it's because I respect the other person's post.

I guess I don't get to use the Rodney Dangerfield quote then, huh? 
Since you're into Oscar Wilde, here's a quote for you:
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
--Oscar Wilde
I don't know if you've posted that one yet. I'm too lazy to look.
Mark Twain has a lot of quotable comments, too!

Christine,
Give me time with Mark. I'm on a Oscar Wilde kick. I identify with him. He seems to make statements that conflict, yet they agree.
How is the world of academny, and are you of that world or putting up with it?

As far as getting edjumacayted, I'm usually taking some sort of course. It's sort of an addiction. This master's that I'm working on should help me find a great job. That's if you believe the University's recruiting literature. My present job is a pretty good one, though, and I may just stay until retirement.
A lot of classics are being banned, challenged, or removed from the schools. So, being the ornery type, (nobody's gonna tell me what is or isn't OK to read!) I've been going out of my way to buy and read the classics off this list:

You wouldn't believe some of the classics listed on here! Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, Chaucer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and lots more! Even Little House on the Prairie has been challenged/removed! (Not that I'd call that a classic, lol!)

Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Looks that it should be everyone's preferred reading list. I don't suppose anyone is still burning books. I hope that went out of fashion after WWII. Unbelievable!
