MThockeydad 469 Report post Posted February 23, 2017 Missed my 42nd birthday celebration....my wifey was kind enough to invite a bunch of my old friends on Friday night for beer and ribs...and I had to cancel about midday Friday to go home sick from work and sleep all weekend. My actual birthday was Monday and I have so many cold meds in my body I haven't had a beer all week. Oh, shit...forgot this is the sweet spot: Feeling better now; time to watch my daughters play in the state HS girls tourney this weekend. Woot! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The crazy part is... I have Global Entry. You know, the thing they make you do background checks and in-person interviews for. And STILL it happens. Big black X over my kiosk receipt at the airport. Isn't that kind of the entire point of being pre-screened?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MThockeydad 469 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Awesome, jamarquan. One of my few mistakes in HS was taking AP English and then failing to register for the AP English test. Freshman literature and freshman composition in college were awful after taking those high intensity classes in high school. Take that test, score a 5, smile as you walk past classrooms of college freshman history students. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamarquan 201 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 I'm going to preface this with a preemptive apology if you know what AP is and the whole post was patronizing you accidentally. AP is a college level class taken in high school, which I'll be doing as a sophmore next year in both Language / Composition and US History, because my school bundles them together. The AP exam is a college level exam on the subject graded on a (worst) 1-5 (best) scale based on multiple parts and apparently a curve most of the time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EJB 488 Report post Posted March 6, 2017 Winning playoff game against the #1 seed, we played our way in #8 seed(I believe, not sure), but moving on and they're not. Super chippy late, including a junk crosecheck to the back at game end that resulted in a no shake, half shake, crazy separation end. Winning is better than losing. Fun to win and we skated well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
