Congrats BM!!! How proud you must be of your son.

You should get disposable contacts this way you don't have to worry when one goes down the drain. Only problem with me is I never loose alternating eyes so I wind up with more of one eye than the other.

Thank you I am very happy for him!
The ironic thing is my oldest son was a much better student than this one...all the extra curricular activities...4+ gpa...full academic scholarship...1450 on SAT...the list could go on and on...but he was only listed in the paper a few times with a group...and then comes along this kid...who could care less about school..just did what it takes to get by..but he places 2nd in a competition last month and since then has had 4 newspaper articles w/ pictures about him, with this one being Student of the week , as well as a paragraph in the school newspaper His older brother is going to be po'd (but in a good way cause he is proud of little bro and glad that because of the competition he will be moving to Orlando)

My daughter is the academic one. My oldest son doesn't do bad in school. He takes after his Mom the math dork. Now my middle one is a completly different story. Dlyan is in school for the social aspect and sports. Really doesn't see much to this whole school work thing, so needless to say we have lots of fun in my house with homework and reports.

So ya know how Insurance companys have Direct Repair Body shops they use.. well FYI~ You still have the right to take your car to any shop you prefer...
I have been on the phone all morning with Ins. company and this owner.
The customer who had their car towed here, after they crashed,and we have done all their work for years...well the Ins company then calls and tell them all about this other shop that is in their network..so this woman is 90 years old ( who shouldn't even be driving) and they call and say " the customer wants her car to go to this other shop." I said " hmm, that's funny she had the car towed here,and we have done all their work for years." ( husband died so the wife is clueless) ANyhow... after numerous calls the car is staying here..
But no matter what your Insurance company says it is YOUR right to have YOUR car repaired where ever YOU want. You pay the premiums. It's YOUR car.. ok
I'm done with my rant about Insurance companies...

My husband complains about this all the time. We also own a bodyshop and towing business. One of my girlfriends just got in a accident. She went to hus for estimate. He also towed her. Well she insisted she had to go somewhere else becuase the insurance co said so.

[sneri13]

Hus does contract towing so we are opened 24 hrs. 7 days a week. Idiots that work for him ( I always ask if he has some sort of deal with prison release programs), call ALL night long. I ususally threaten to blow the place up at least once a week.

Oh I know, it is such bs, I uderstand if you don't care and have no idea where to take your car, but if you said it's here,and you had it towed here, decision has been made!
We actually had been a direct reapir shop for this company,, ( Progressive) and we dropped them,cause they don't want to pay for crap.. enough is enough...

Recent research shows that there are 7 kinds of sex:

The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone and you both have sex until you are blue in the face.

The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for a short time and you are so horny you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.

The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.

The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the hallway you both say "screw you."

The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex, which means you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the afternoon and Nun at night.

The 6th kind is called Courtroom Sex. This is when you cannot stand your wife any more. She takes you to court and screws you in front of everyone.

And last, but not least, the 7th kind of sex is called: Social Security Sex. You get a little from time-to-time, but not enough to live on.
