This has made me inexplicably sad.  

Tell your boss.  "This card doesn't work.  Are you sending me a message?"

Agreed. But on the brighter side, chances are the rides would kill me before I started up-chucking.

This reminds me; I have to find a pattern for a Kermit the Frog puppet.

I'm old...

School is now a business on it's own.  They are losing their "rightful" profit stream because students can download PDF file versions of textbooks that they sell for $500 bucks.  So they find a way to make you spend the money anyway.

The rationale is that "hey-- most of this money is coming from Pell grants anyway. we might as well make sure we can soak up every penny the federal government is willing to give these students."

I no longer fear the rides at the fairs. I now fear the "food".

ARKAY!!!

I'm so glad you're here.  I wanted to thank you for going with me to the comic con and the dinner.  Much more fun with a companion.

I'm not sure, but it's been ages since I've had either Kraft Dinner or Cheetos and the combination just seemed crazy enough to work.

Now I want to send you a care package with 'merican Kraft Mac and cheese and a jumbo bag of crunchy style cheetos.
