Where a University of San Diego degree leads
re: #2: "There's so much more to life than getting a pretty little degree in order to rub elbows with the "but shouldn't you...?" peeps." Your point is a bit unclear, debrr. Is it that higher degrees aren't useful? I don't consider my degrees to be "pretty little degrees." I consider them to be a part of my education for life--an education that I worked damn hard to get. There is more to life than working and making the most money possible--there is also the life of the mind, the intellect, and the aesthetic awareness one gains, not to mention all that you learn about the world that makes sense once you step out into it. I don't know, it sounds like you are a bit angry about this, and perhaps a bit resentful about something? That your degree is not helping your career, or that you didn't get a degree? You'll have to be clearer.— January 21, 2010 10:36 p.m.

7. Have you ever pretended you were someone else? I like this one. I'm pretending I'm Beyonce right now, sunning myself on Jay-Z's latest yacht. Hard to do while you're grading business documents on a cold, rainy night.— January 21, 2010 9:24 p.m.

What have I said in #6 that you don't agree with, Pete? Btw, I swear your writing is getting a lot tighter, more vivid and confident--#8 is really well done, with my deepest apologies to our friend Xian. Now, if you would just use your developing powers for good, Pete.— January 21, 2010 4:36 a.m.

Hey Micro Noel, Who sponsors the Mentoring Adults Program, then? Are these the students involved in grant writing projects? Is it a way for the students to prepare for college, once they get the GED/diploma, or is it a class in grant writing for which may earn transferable college credits? I did the M.A. as a part of my doctoral program in Comp Lit (Comparative Literature). I'm stillllll working on the doctorate ;)— January 21, 2010 4:25 a.m.

How many answers will people really have for #1? Oh, gee, there was the time that guy peeped in our window, or the squirrel attacked, or the moment we knew birth control had failed, or... You get the idea ;) #3 suffers from this problem even more. And where the $%@#$ did you get #8?! I'd go with #s 4 and 5--actually quite good, refried.— January 20, 2010 11:12 p.m.

Uh, I would find a new hero, and I would also want to consider that Carlin was just a teensy ironic in this routine, just as Edward Abbey used the injunction to strew the pristine desert with one's empties. There ARE things we can do everyday to make some significant changes in our local environment's levels of pollutions. Love your land, don't be lazy and s*** on it, right, Pete? On other topics, that seems to be your stance, so maybe you'll agree with these suggestions--at least one of which you've seen before: 1. There is no reason to smoke highly pollutive cigarettes. Several brands are processed without toxic additives, and they taste better, too. 2. Instead of littering, one can find cool little portable ashtrays for $1 to $5 at nearly any smoke shop. 3. RE: Toxic chemicals? Industrial-sized water pollution isn't just for evil corporations anymore. We buy craploads of toxic chemicals to clean our homes with, and while the labels read "Dewdrops on Mountain Lavender" and "Baby Duck's Ass Soft Pine Needle Scented," these products contain highly polluting industrial-strength detergents and surfactants that are killing marine wildlife, polluting the oceans, and polluting the soil, too. If we replace dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap, and all household products with environmentally sound ones, we can cut down on the pollution of the elements in our area. My cat's nose and lungs aren't even bothered by the scent of my Mrs. Meyers and Seventh Generation products, made with fruit and plant oils and essences. These products WORK, and aren't that much more expensive in some cases (Costco even carries some safe product now) so there is really no excuse not to use them.— January 20, 2010 10:59 p.m.

re: The student: We broke bread AND fellowship? Is that like breaking wind? Who talks like this anyway, unless they are trying to be 'sly' about witnessing to us unwitting heathens? Ah, we ate dinner and had fellowship. We're going out after work for beers and fellowship. 'It's been kind of lonely around here lately...' 'You just need more fellowship! Why don't you call up some friends to hang with, for some fellowship?' 'What a date! After, we went back to my place and she actually gave me some fellowship!'— January 20, 2010 9:27 p.m.

Yes, and a waste of paper, too. Is this the best way to do it? And, even more importantly, are Faulconer and Co. next going to issue warning letters via peeping toms to people using toxic cleaners in the home? For sitting around the kitchen table eating environmentally disastrous red meat?— January 20, 2010 9:16 p.m.

re:#14: Good one, ans! Just take care. Your prescription for expulsion is contraindicated by your own production and retention --the saving of--your own hits ;)— January 20, 2010 9:04 p.m.
