  1. “Biff, are you trying to make me cry again like the time at Jack the Horse with CGar?”

    I made you cry at JtH? For some reason, I don’t remember that. Then again, it’s not surprising, given the number of times I’ve made women in bars cry (and not in a good way).

  2. “all i said was that it would make for great reality tv. which it would. and chances are it probably will!!”

    Yeah, watching the misfortunes of people trapped miles below the surface, and then breaking to a commercial, sounds like gangs of fun. Too bad they didn’t arrange for English speaking miners to get trapped, so we could all be in on the funny jokes and snappy repartee as they chill waiting to be dug out of a giant grave in the ground.

    Sorry, I don’t find anything “cool” about it at all.

  3. “You’re illegal second wife can’t even get your name right. That’s what happens to polygamists. Donatella- vows? Since he and I were never e-divorced, I still get the money (that’s all I was in it for anyway). ;-)”

    A. donatella and I never really exchanged vows. As Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman, “She’s just using me for sex.”

    5-4-3-2-1 before *rob* GOTD’s me for Julia Roberts, why I don’t know.

    2. Everyone, including me, already KNOWS you’re only in it for the money. The $12 million Gingerbread House you made me buy you was a dead giveaway as if there’d ever been any doubt.

  4. “Yes. AND I can’t help the GCar thing I am dyslexic.”

    Are you really dyslexic donatella? Are you sure you don’t have dyscartographia like *rob*? You may want to have that checked out.

  5. Rob:

    quote:
    Eventually, students with federal loans will qualify for better repayment terms. Part of the legislation signed today also improves repayment terms first enacted last summer. Loan payments will be capped at 10 percent of a student’s disposable income (it’s currently 15 percent) and any debt remaining after 20 years will be forgiven (the current threshold is 25). For public servants – including teachers, nurses, or members of the armed forces – that cap is 10 years.

    But, those repayment terms are only applicable for loans signed after July 1, 2014, and will not be retroactive, nor do they apply to private loans.

  6. I just think it sounds like a cool experience. – Jessi

    It isn’t a vakay, that’s for sure, but psychologically, that kind of experience can be really life defining and although it is really stressful, it could be a positive experience. In those different prison/kidnapping books, the writers draw on their memories, their education, their life experiences, review all their actions, relationships. People draw on what they have cultivated in their memories, their educations, poems, literature, life events etc. to help them with the lack of stimulation. And you have to find something inside of yourself, a real spirituality to keep on going.
