I vote for “aptus omnis est.”</p>

<p>I’ve been following your thread and wanted to join the faculty but didn’t know where I’d be able to serve to bring out the best of my abilities. After being struck by lightning while walking my dog I’d like to nominate myself for admissions counselor and recruiter… seeing as I was so successful in helping a brilliant and talented son get no acceptances to college…I guess I’d be a shoo-in. Unless of course you’d all rather wait-list me :eek:</p>

<p>Oh yippee! At least someone in our household has been accepted. Maybe now we can get out the champagne. As official admissions director I’m going to offer every accepted student and yes, faculty members as well, a glass of champagne served in a crystal glass with CC engraving. It would make a nice keepsake to have in the yurts.</p>
<p>See andi- in our world, ask and yee shall receive :)</p>
<p>uh oh, andi-- my bad. Apparently reidm is dir. of admissions. Will you accept your recruiting position??? Puleeze?? :o</p>

<p>Has anyone given any thought to tuition? I think in addition to traditional cash-on-the-barrelhead to get our operating budget going, that we also consider barterting. Sounds like we could use some yak, goats and free range chickens per yemayas suggestion.</p>
<p>Can I handle the business office? If I could survive auditing savings and loans in the mid 80s, I can survive the accounting intriciacies of Confidentialia.</p>

:eek: The joint can’t be in my hand! It has to be behind me (the statue), as a warning, way in the past, like forever ago, back there a ways, way way back, before I had children, before I thought of children . Antabuse and a joint-Where are we, ____________ ?(fill in a northwestern or national quirky school of your choice)</p>

<p>correction noted-- still need something for your other hand.</p>
<p>EVIL PARENTS!!! You’re trying to tempt me to post!</p>
<p>Some things that I have wanted to say for a looong time:[ul]
[<em>] Please let me bring Ellie (my elephant)! She would be very disappointed if I had to leave her behind.
[</em>] I would like to apply for a yurt or treehouse right away so that I can make sure that I get one if I am accepted.
[<em>] Please accept me now, reidm!
[</em>] Before I come, a department of biology should be added.
[li] Good idea, jym! I’ll head over to my sister’s castle in Narnia to get some yak, goats, and free range chickens! Can her llamas come too? I’m afraid they will miss the goats otherwise![/ul]</p>[/li]
<p>Thanks! I had to get all of this out of my system!</p>
<p>That was my first post since the 15th of March!!!. Back to square one…</p>
<p>yemaya - I missed you so, but knew that you were just following the 12 steps of recovery. I was going to wait to post my greetings to you until I got below 8.0 posts/day. Not there yet, but on my way.</p>
<p>I’m impressed, jmmom! After the 30th, you posted fewer than eight times a day. I notice that you posted frequently before then, though. I’ll excuse your addiction since it was decision time. ;)</p>
<p><strong><em>brilliant idea</em></strong>
Along with my internship with mootmom and my work with the farm animals, I would like to volunteer to help people in rehab from CC!</p>
<p>yes yemaya-- welcome back!!
Very smart of you to take a hiatus during the s-l-o-w server time. But the server speed has returned, and so have you. Who could ask for more 
Glad the bartering idea is workable for you, and of COURSE the llama are welcome! Can’t have any gloomy goats. By the way, does your sister happen to have a few alpaca? We might want to offer a weaving class…</p>
<p>Forgot to add sb mom as music director and voronwe as Chair of the Tolkein/Elvish language/Literature dept.</p>
<p>How about the tradition is to STEAL curmudgeon’s topsiders and walk a mile in them, then put them back?</p>
<p>Stealing and walking a mile in his shoes?</p>
<p>Brilliant! SB Mom is music director and legend maker!</p>
