HAW!! At Career Day, I talked with kids (the unwashed kind) about network security – when it got to pros and cons, the last con I listed was, “Sometimes, you’re the guy in the red shirt.”</p>
<p>i’m with you geezermom–i think recess is over and i should get back to work.</p>
<p>And the winner is… WJB!!!</p>
<p>I’d bet you’re right – good catch!!</p>
<p>The secret is to make the moonshine.</p>
<p>And those elbows needin’ rubbin, use lard. Works real well. Just have to pick the flies out every so often.</p>
<p>Clean those elbows for sunday, its RACE day!!!</p>
<p>Kat</p>
<p>Ah come on, don’t slam harvard and yale. OP: Beware. Remember those “scholarship” kids at your daughter’s high school? There are even more of them at Stanford, Princeton and MIT since those schools offer generous financial aid.</p>
<p>Aw man, ■■■■■ threads are only fun as long as the OP keeps up the pretense…</p>
<p>Jamiecakes, I grew up in “the real OC”. Can I rub your elbow please, surely you can’t snub a fellow Californian?</p>
<p>Bowing, “I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy”!!!</p>
<p>I’m really hopin’ this thread is not one of my DD’s psychology experiments gone wild. She did take the NIH human subjects course over the spring break :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Me thinks this thread has more unposted posts than the posted ones. I deleted at least three before postin’ (including what wjb had the guts to post). :)</p>
<p>
Problem? PROBLEM? That’s even better! Tell her to turn down the scholarship (public money isn’t good enough for her) and demand to pay tuition/room/board in full. What a t-shirt that would make!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Embroidered, of course. Silk-screening would be too commonplace.</p>
<p>You think, POIH and OP?!?!? I think Dad II is a distant relative, maybe by marriage.</p>
<p>Well since I am from California, my elbows are wonderfully tan. I plan to get an elbow lift to match last years knee lift, so the doctor recommends I don’t allow anyone (even those I deem worthy) to stroke, rub, caress or otherwise molest my elbows.</p>
<p>I have something you can kiss though…</p>
<p>Jamiecakes, guess the boarding school just doesn’t hold its own; I had to take academic courses. Can you imagine?!</p>
<p>We did have maids, however, who made our beds every day except over the weekend; they also did our laundry. It was amusing to learn who among the students had never made a bed before, and had to learn how. (And boy, were some of them PO’ed that they had to learn!)</p>
<p>Oh, my, what a thought…</p>
<p>OP, did you perchance go to a boarding school in Switzerland? Maybe you lived in my dorm!</p>
<p>
Purell’s a bit fancy for my kind. Care to borrow some cactus moonshine? It sanitizes real good!</p>
<p>My kids don’t know how to make a bed either. Maybe they have the raw material to aspire to snobbiness?</p>
<p>Kat’s son probably sleeps on a pallet on the dirt floor of their cabin in the holler…</p>
<p>perhaps the OP has made her point–it’s US who are the snobs.</p>
<p>Me thinks DadII is going to be jealous that the OP managed to get 133 responses in 4 hours! DadII, come on, you can come up with something to beat this, can’t ya?</p>
<p>OMG! I’ve had a bad day and this REALLY thread has made me LOL!!! What a hoot!!! </p>
<p>My favorite line…“Ooooooh… Can I feed the ■■■■■ too? If it follows me home, can I keep it?”</p>
<p>After checking the OP’s posting history, I, sadly, believe the OP is not a ■■■■■. “Hobnob with snobs” is an unfortunate use of terms, but allowing for the language issue- I am guessing that the OP wants to know which school has the most kids who come from the most privileged backgrounds. I would recommend that the OP check the statistics on % coming from private schools- at least for the previous years admissions. Each of these schools should have this information posted in some form on the websites or common data sets, shouldn’t they?</p>
<p>Grcxx3: As it turns out, this might not be the right kind of ■■■■■ to have – not much of a pedigree after all. I think somebody’s already called Critter Controll Services to tranquilize it and take it away. What would the neighbors think? :o</p>
