    Things I don't understand

    in General Education Discussion Board

    Did I mention I hate the word "moist." Really hate it? Use it around me and I will not hear another word you've said. Insane, yes, but true.

     

     

    Apparently you're not alone. Words Women Hate

     

    I don't understand people who pull out suddenly in front of me when I'm driving, then proceed to drive 10 miles an hour.

     

    I don't understand people who forward ridiculous emails without bothering to check them out first to see if they're true.

    Anyone observe OT Biblical Feasts?

    Well, we aren't Jewish, but we are studying the Holy Land this year, and as part of our studies we will be celebrating some of the feasts, and at least making some of the different traditional foods.

     

    We are reading the All of a Kind Family books (characters are Jewish and there are great descriptions of the feast days) and I bought a copy of the Jews for Jesus cookbook.

     

    Have fun!

    Calling all prayer warriors: I NEED A MIRACLE

    Praying for a miracle for Christy.

     

    Prayer in Time of Sickness (Orthodox Prayer Book)

     

    Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, you became man and died on the cross for our salvation.

     

    You healed people of sickness and affliction through your love and compassion.

     

    Visit me, Lord, and grant me strength to bear this sickness with which I am afflicted, with patience, submission to your will and trust in your loving care.

     

    I pray that you will bless the means used for my recovery and those who administer them.

     

    Grant that my sickness may be to my spiritual benefit and that I may live the rest of my life more faithfully according to your will.

     

    For you are the source of life and healing and to you I give praise and glory, now and forever. Amen.

    Palin (sorry, I spelled her name wrong)

     

    Fox is reporting that is has been confirmed by McCain official.

     

    McCain Palin '08 :)

     

    I'm getting my bumper sticker and yard sign!!

     

     

    I'm so thrilled! Flabbergasted, since I had no idea she was in the running for the position, but thrilled! I've been a fan of hers for quite a while, and I think it's just what the GOP ticket needs. Go McCain/Palin!! :party:

    No. Cal colleges?

    Okay, we looked into PA colleges, thank you all. Now we are going to spread options to No. Cal.

     

    So far, Mills is on list and that is it, we want something with less than 2000 pop. and dd is Journalism/ Hist. major, not decided yet.

     

    We are hoping for something cheaper than Mills.

     

    Any ideas,

    Most of the colleges I can think of are a lot bigger than what you're looking for. There is UC Merced however - it's still quite small since it just opened a couple of years ago. Also there's UOP in Stockton - it has about 3500 undergrads. It's pretty pricey, but I understand they have good financial aid. Another one is William Jessup University in Rocklin, which is just a bit northeast of Sacramento. It's very small, and price-wise it looks to be comparable to the UC.
