Got this in an email from a parent yesterday...

"Again, thank you for taking your summer vacation to empower the future generation of executives, CFOs, COOs, scientists, and even a president of the united states."

Yeah that's right.  That's what I do.  Wuh!

You taught a president of the united states?

You're a lot older than you look.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You know, there is no clear reason why we call it "Georgia".

The ancients knew it as Iberia, but their own name for their country is Sakartvelo.

The Russians have always called it Gruzia, a derivation of Gurjia, a region in Sakartvelo.

Let's hope it stays Sakartvelo.

So Im trying out Gatorade A.M., and the flavor is Tropical Mango. It would be great if it didn't make me feel uneducated and ignorant. I thought mango was solely a tropical fruit, and all my Google hits for Arctic Mango and Temperate Mango are mixed drinks. Is there a Mango wiki? I must be properly educated on such an elusive, exotic fruit.

I'm going to my wedding rehearsal soon and tomorrow I'm getting married (I'll finally shut up about it!).  I'm pretty nervous.  I don't like being the star of the show.  This is going to be a pretty big show.  Pb is coming out for it so you know there will be pictures coming pretty soon.

If I don't talk to you guys, have a great week while I'm in Puerto Rico with my new husband, Enrique!!!!

You're going to be gorgeous, and almost everything is going to go perfectly (there's always at least one little thing that goes wrong ;) ), and you're going to look back on it all fondly and still be glad it's all done with.

I promise.   :-D

According to the map at the bottom of this:

I've always called it Georgia.

I'm happy for you. Really, I am. If there is one thing this world needs, it's more love. I know you will, but try not to be so nervous. At least it won't be like my brother's first marriage where he staggered around with a fixed drunken stare while the flower girl threw the flowers on the floor and started howling like a baboon and the ringbearer decided to pretend he was a stormtrooper and goosestep down the aisle and I spent most of the time cruising the catering staff.

Vegas weddings are classy.

Can I have "I LOVE PORK" written across the back of it?

If an HR person ever asks you "to what person living or dead do you relate yourself?" Queen Margret the Second is apparently not the right answer.  :oops:

Back when I was but a wee little Xolly, I had quite the collection of G.I. Joe action figures. I had more Cobra figures because their uniforms were cooler. Anyways, I see they've released the 25th Anniversary Edition version of many of my favourite characters I used to have. So I bought a couple (manchild ITT) and I've got say, these are the worst action figures ever made. What the hell happened? The little blue buggers I used to have back in the day were made out of hard plastic with metal joints. These new ones are cheap soft plastic and the hand and arm both came off of poor Buzzer when I tried to get him to hold his chainsaw.

If you're going to repackage my childhood and sell it back to me at today's rates, at least keep the quality the same.  :x
