The middle of the road is where the "dead skunk" is. (That was a real song)

Some of us have one side dominant for one thing and the other side for another.
Both kid and I are right handed. We skated like left handers. When she took power skating classes, she went with the lefties.

Did you find the books you need on Google e-books, or you gonna have to buy real dead tree books?

I see Amazon has the book for about $21.00. But then there's shipping, so that's about $28.00 total. Google sells the book for $46.00. Got to think, do I want to carry a book, or even open a paper book? (because I killed paper books altogether over a year ago, and haven't read one since). If I'll need the book in the classroom, then I'll get it on Google, even though its $20 more, because I ride bike to school, and don't want to carry a single book at all.
 
Dead tree books... I've always wondered why people refer to it negatively. Don't they have tree farms for that sort of thing or am I wrong?
 
There are more than 11 million individual owners of private forests in the U.S. Over 90 percent of wood harvested to make the paper and wood products we use everyday comes from these private landowners.

You want paper that comes from a company that ensures forestlands are managed responsibly. Better yet, you want paper that is third-party certified.
But not all paper is certified sustainable. In fact, less than 10 percent of the world

And in my spare time I like to drive on the PAVEMENT (aka to strange Yankies the "side walk" lol!) and drive through the park onto peoples lawns and also in my spare time I LOVE to drive right through a red robot (In SA many people think we are crazy because to us Robot is a "Traffic light" :D:D:D crazy I know! :D)

I also like to drive over other peoples car while giving them the finger! ;)

I also like to keep a GUN under my seat. :):):):):)

Just want to make sure you're aware that Amazon Prime comes free (for a trial period) if you have a student email. I've saved a ton.

The school system here in Texas, I know you guys are probably older and wiser than me and dealt with more stupidity but Christ. They're so damn unorganized and they act like they're running a business, NOT like they teach kids or anything. We get taught horribly, sure if you're in advanced classes alright but why make us do so much work if at a certain point 80% of us say enough because we have no more time to ourselves anymore we're basically mindless zombies. The lunch is absolutely atrocious actually, I think that's the whole country at public schools I'm pretty sure, that's not to excuse my school from giving 100 students poorly cooked(the meat was still completely red) burgers -.-

Look on the stinky side of life ( da bright side ek se! :-)) and be grateful you are not a child slave labourer that has no right to life just no life period.


Out of control slavery, child labour ..... grinds my gears... badly.

Did you know hemp fibre makes higher quality paper than woodchip? Not only that but can produce more paper per acre than wood, when you consider it's harvested every year.
 
Hemp can also be woven. Dogbane fibers (a form of hemp) used to be woven together by Native Americans to make rope.

What' s Eclect? The parrot or eclectic?
 
My daughter just had to spend over $500+ dollars for 4 college books , (2 of which require 3 ring binders [not included] purchased to hold the pages in, yes, it is just 2 packets of 3 ring binder loose pages) 2 paperback books, and 1 computer access code.:rolleyes: Really?!
