OK, Crae....I'll hand the cookies over. I have to warn you, though, I dipped them in chocolate a couple times.

Doreen! You drive a bug? What year? What does it look like? I always wanted a Karmann Ghia.

I stuck up a pic of my Sammy (I forgot I had pics of him sittin on the card when I grabbed this pic of my bug right now for ya)

Thanks Java that's "Lord Farquaad" the one that calls me his princess instead of his mom... hehe
my other son only calls me princess when he wants a game... hehe
I had no intentions of getting a car the day I ended up getting it... I just happen to come across it and like I said it was fully loaded w/ everything I ever wanted on a bug so I grabbed it, it had the spoiler, killer stereo sys & speakers, 6 CD mag is in the trunk, power roof etc the only thing is I wanted a black bug not that color but I might paint it black next year...

cuz the original bugs were much more masculine looking, (but the frame was like a tin can)
the newer bugs look more feminine and the frame is heavier and solid (me and my boys can hardly shut the door it weighs a ton)
and yes they are expensive though if I had not stumbled across the deal I got on this one I would not be drivin a bug either...

now where is that Elf! she makes me nervous when she gets too quiet...
unlesssss when Robby is around she kicks the rest of us to the curb?????? hmmmmm?????? hehe

Looks Like This Thing Will Never End

Come on Elf get w/ it! and you better not be reading this or you're not studying! hehe
Hope things get better for you

Hmm, well at least your university is doing something about it. Mine doesn't give one damn how low your ratings are, as long as you pay the bill.

craeonics does a sort-it-out-yourself study

I got an academic suspension from Central Michigan University (which I was enrolled in the honors program at and lived in the honors dorm). I knew I was on my way out, so the last term (before I got suspended) I enrolled in a community college (which is an easy way to get your GPA back up) they then sent me a letter saying that I could rematriculate, but I never did. I never got my bachelors dgree. yes, it is true, I only have an Associates degree in art...and I now am the Dir. of Operations at Stardock. Funny how the world works, eh? Makes no sense at all, but makes sense in the end. Just remember, everything happens for a reason. you may not know it at the time, and it may suck at the time, but it makes sense in the end. If I would have not been kicked out of school, I wouldn't have ended up at the school that I did. Then, I wouldn't have met my husband, and I wouldn't have moved down to lower Michigan and ended up at Stardock.

Doreen, we already have a couple Camaros (they are race cars). I want it for the sports car feel and T-tops. A Honda station wagon just wouldn't fit the bill I'll still keep my "daily driver" Lumina. I just want a "Fun" car that doesn't make me feel so old. I have a need for speed!!!! VROOM VROOM!!!!

Sooo, skipping classes is bad? One of the good things about University is that you can skip classes at will. Or at least, you can over here. I know people who skipped all classes and only did the exams and the workshops ('cos those are obligatory) (and the bastards finished school before me!).

I saw the marathon thingy.... hope I can add some input..... I love this website!!! Thank you....

BTW, JavaBrain, get a Lexus Sportcross. Now that is H-O-T hot.

Like it so much... I'm gonna do a desktopX for it!!!!

As far as school is concerned, as long as you learn to read, write, work in a team (undersant team dynamics), ans ask an educated question you will be fine. I think most people would be surprised how many "A" students can not do what I descibed earlier very well. Working hard and ambition helps too!!

And furthermore the is a growing movement to change the educational system to teach those values instead of memorization and repetition.

AND!!!!! Yes I really believe that this site is very welcome to those who hear of it. Now that there has been a design change I think it very well could be the best skin site around. If you want to change your desktop and have a pretty wide selection then here is the site for you. If wincustomize keeps up the good work along with Stardock (and as well as other skin sites and programs like Talisman and NeXTStart) then by 2004 this will be a major market for designs, advertisement, artists, educationers, kids, musuems, libraries, offices, and the list continues.

AS you can see I have major plans for this progam. And I believe once the 3rd generation of products come out it will be unstoppable. (as long as the products are good; i.e. no crap!!! )

Too bad! We plan on it all to be crap!!!

Lexus SportCross? Are you out of your mind? You obviously make more money than I do!! There is no way that I can afford a $60,000+ car! Silly, man you are, joetheblow!

erm..boyfriend time. I still have my boyfriend. This is the real reason why I feel a bit more confident. A lot of people who know me here said I can do it, and even from so much support, one can believe one can achieve.

I do have email though, so feel free to email me at either of these addys.
