Oh noes!!! Not mALX!!! Take it back, ghastley, take it back! Maybe we can paste the pieces back together... Will it require necromancy to reanimate her, though? I hope not, because I've never been good with magic!



For the record, it is my firm belief that animals are highly intelligent, much more so than we human beings give them credit for. Sometimes, (now please don't go getting offended now, anyone), I think that animals are smarter than humans. We humans have a way of convincing ourselves that anyone or anything that does not think and act the exact same way we do is somehow dumber or less than us. The Native Americans, Africans, and anyone else who wasn't "civilized" according to the Europeans is a classic and very tragic example of this attitude at its worse...

Animals are incredibly advanced, and they can survive in this world without greed and destructive tendencies, which, in my opinion, shows they are of higher intelligence, or at least a higher understanding that human beings are barely in tune to....

And now there’s a squirrel trying to jump up into a hanging basket. What does it think is in there?! I need to move to a different window.

Maybe it's mALX looking for Alix? Or perhaps that Golden Saint Armor?

mALX, if that’s you in the hanging basket, come on in!! The remote is on the table, coffee’s in the pot, and we have cake!!

Did someone say ... cake ... and coffee? [mALX pulls herself back together quickly]

And the first person to say "the cake is a lie" shall need rabies shots in ten different places before the day is out.

You have been warned.

In the words of our dear mALX: SPEW! lol.

Oops...sorry, mALX.... I'll talk to the Madgod...maybe He'll put you back into your proper form. Although, it will likely cost you some form of service to Him, so I don't know if you want to do that... Perhaps you should go pray at an altar of the Nine...?

Woot!! *high fives grif11*

A civilized forum? What planet are you from? We are far from civilized. However, we are friendly--as long as you keep us fed on cake and coffee, we won't bite...much...

[mALX]

GAAAAAH !!! My son got accepted at the University of Tennessee !!!! They were only accepting 3,000 and he applied late - so that means he beat out a lot of candidates for acceptance !!! As soon as I'm done doing my victory dance I have to start shopping scholarships, lol.



WOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!

[D.Foxy]

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR SON AND HIS MOTHER!!!!

[Grits]

[King Coin]

Fantastic mALX!!!

[Lady Syl]

WOOT!! Congrats to you and your son, mALX!!! That is awesome!

[haute ecole rider]

CONGRATS TO YOUR SON!!

You've got to be so damn proud of yourself and him!

[minque]

CONGRATS TO YOUR SON!!

You've got to be so damn proud of yourself and him!

SECONDED! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[grif11]

YAAAAAAY!

(to be honest, I dont know much about American education, but everyone else is cheering so, YAAAAY!)

[haute ecole rider]

YAAAAAAY!

(to be honest, I dont know much about American education, but everyone else is cheering so, YAAAAY!)

First you got grade school (ages 5 to 10 - not counting grade skipping for smartypants)

Then you got junior high school (ages 11 to 13)

Then you got high school (ages 14 to 17). This is when most American students learn to drive a car and start drinkin' and whorin'. Well, not really, but

Then you got college (where mALX's son is going in the fall). Now here is where it gets interesting. You can start right after high school graduation, which means you start college as an 18 year old (depending on when your birthday falls). If you do, then you can (ideally, but rarely these days) get a bachelor's degree in your major of choice in four years. I got my BA in Biology in four years. But it's more common these days for students to take five years to obtain that lowly bachelor's. Why? I'm not sure.

Then depending on your career choice, you can go on to graduate school for another two to four years. It took me four years to obtain my doctor's degree. It probably will take me between 1 1/2 to two years for me to get my MBA (currently enrolled).

At any point after high school (actually, the age of 16) you can enter the workforce and forget about higher education, or enter the work force to pay for higher education.

Probably clear as mud, but the reason we're so excited about mALX's son (who doesn't resemble a hyperactive squirrel at all) is that he is another step closer to independence and adulthood.

[treydog]

First- I, for one, welcome our new squirrel overlords. All hail the bushy-tailed tree-rats. Ahem.

Second- YAY to you and your son, mALX! If he needs any words of wisdom on surviving the good old Orange Screw- sorry-- The University of Tennessee-- please let me know.

[Olen]

Congrat's mALX (and son). From what I hear uni over there is rather different but still a bundle of fun.

And even better that's one less teenager under your feet
