If you do insist on paying for most of university you could try this plan that I guy I worked with did for his kids: He'd pay 100% of school after their first year, which the kids had to pay for, but only if the kids passed all their courses and did okay in them. Sounds reasonable but we are not sure if we were paying the whole shot anyway, just the first year. I mean if it was a matter of him not being able to fund the rest of the years and not be able to do of course we would find a way to keep him in it. but I would have him pay it back. One year is more than reasonable. Is he going to trade school? Electrician? I electively dropped out of college in my third year - before they kicked me out - because all I was doing was riding my skateboard and smoking copious amounts of dope. I worked as a commercial electrician for a year busting my fucking ass. It then dawned on me that this manual labor things is a lot of fucking work so I went back to school and tried the whole going to class thing. Finished up with straight A's. Working as an electrician will be good for him. heh.. you think working as an electrician is hard? No wonder you keep climbing teh easy rootz. Yes, I think working as an electrician is a lot harder than sitting in a class, getting a degree, and then getting paid a shit-ton of money to sit in a leather high-back chair in an air-conditioned office. If you think otherwise, you're doing it rong. being an electrician is fucking easy. unroll some wire. drill a few holez. You must ahve been the dumb kid who all they would let do is pull wire. You're obviously a fucking moron, so I'll forgive you for having to explain this. On a construction site it's the dumb ones that have to do more manual labor. I can see now why you're giving me a hard time for not working as hard as you do. Perhaps with the exception of a bosses kid or the retarded guy the moved the broom, there are no free passes on a job site. Well, maybe in Canada, but down here if you're too dumb to do your job you dig a ditch or use a jackhammer. If you're too dumb for that they kick your ass off the site. You also obviously don't know shit about commercial electrical work. There can be hundreds of yards of ditches for conduits, holes for junction boxes, tearing up foundation, etc. There's also calculating loads and distributions, and an ever-evolving litany of standards that you get inspected to. No, it's not as manual intensive as the troglodyte on the ground floor moving concrete, nor is it as intellectually intensive as developing an artificial heart, but it draws from both sides of the fence. You sounds just like all the other douchebags on the site bitching at us because we weren't knee deep in shit getting paid a fraction of what we made. Don't blame me because you had/have a shitty job. nerve touched?
Meh, just a little drunk.

This is possibly kerrect. Chossy boulders in there a lot, right? Drytooling can get you into some crazy positions, however when bouldering you can push too much.

Yeah pretty much. That's what school is for, fucking up and learning from it.

Tending to folks who are sweating, bleeding and/or puking. medical professionals way more exposed than education. Medical folks tend to be smarter in the ways of prevention. wash hands, wash hands, wash hands. Eat correctly, sleep right. temperature changes?? Last year i rode my bike and climbed in weather varying from 90F down to 35F. failllllll i've made it almost 30 years with only ear infections other than minor head colds. missed less than 5 days of work/school since graduating high school. this post means you will now get MRSA. You know, I've had it and it didn't really do anything to me other than force me into a private room away from the other patients. I was treated, but I often wonder if I passed anything along to Nathan with the time he spent with me in the hospital.
MRSA often lives benignly on people's skin, especially if they have been hospitalized. Chances are, a) you still have it, and b) sharing is caring.

An early 16th century Spanish conquistador wrote reports of an Indian tribe he encountered in the Caribbean in which the men had penises that were up to 12 feet long. They would keep them wrapped around their waists, and then whip them out (literally), to have sex with women from across the village square or whatever.
Otherwise known as chorizo!

If it makes you guys feel better I'm sure there are commodities here that cost a lot more than in the mid-west... like, I dunno, Crisco.
