Small list I thought up... You read a book, magazine, newspaper, etc and wonder why they spell out all the words instead of abbreviating them. You say that something made you "l-o-l" instead of actually saying it made you "laugh out loud". You remember someone telling you something on the phone, they deny it, and you try to 'scroll up' in the conversation so you can 'copy and paste' it back to them.. Then realize that it's not logged. You can send a text message on the phone, typing out an entire message, without looking at the phone, while carrying on another conversation, and not make a mistake in either conversation. You feel lost if you go more than 5 minutes without sending/receiving a text message. When shopping for cell phones or cell phone accessories, your number one priority is always centered around texting abilities and enhancements. (Forget GPS, speakerphone, call reception, etc...) Someone walks up to you, asks you a question, and you answer in numbers (that correspond to the letters of your response). When your cell phone rings with a voice call, you automatically know it's a wrong number because you never actually use it for voice talking. You think 'hearing' is overrated. A dozen alarm clocks and an earthquake can't wake your lazy ass after 10 hours of sleep, but a small buzz from a text IM and you're wide awake even if you're sleep deprived. A family member looks at your text messages, it's something embarrassing about you, but they can't understand IM lingo so they don't get it. TA (Textaholics Anonymous) kicks you out because you are always texting in the group meetings. You know what LOL, LMAO, FTW, STFU, WTFDYWYSAB, o.o and other similar items mean. You watch the AT&T Wireless commercials, understand what the little girl is saying perfectly, and never once had to read the subtitles to keep up. You see a bunch of nerds talking and surprisingly, you can understand most of what they are talking about (but you're not a nerd, geek, dweeb, etc). You enter a Text Messaging competition, and everyone else drops out because they know they won't win against you. Your cell company puts restrictions on how much you can text with their "Unlimited Texting" plan. You can type faster on a cell phone than on a computer. You wonder when companies will offer support via Text Messaging. You've nearly gotten into or have been in an accident because you were too busy text messaging to pay attention to your driving. You correct yourself when you misspell "lol", but think nothing of misspelling "girl" as "gril", "hi" as "hai", etc. You know the difference between an abbreviation/acronym and an actual word, even if they are spelled exactly the same. ("no" meaning "know", for example) More of course, but whew, what a list so far.

Either she removed it because something wasn't adding up right (ie, it shouldn't have brought your grade down the much), others complained for the same reason and she was made to remove it, or she's realized herself how harsh it is. What kind of an assignment was it? It would seem a bit ridiculous to me that one assignment can send you to F's-ville regardless of how well you're doing in the class. Way I see it, if it was an easy assignment, you should have done it (easy points). But then again, an easy assignment shouldn't be worth so much that failing it drops you from an A to an F. Thus skipping one easy assignment would then be optional for you. However, if it was a difficult assignment, you should have done it since it'd mean so much on the grade, but even with difficult assignments, it shouldn't be an all-or-nothing grade. So if you did it but not to her satisfaction, you should have gotten credit for what you did do. Based on your having an A in the class, I can only presume that if you had enough notice and information on the assignment, that barring events out of your control, you would have gotten it done. Of course, that's just a presumption, so it could be wrong. Put simply, unless you were being a lazy ass about the assignment, it sounds like you shouldn't have failed the assignment. Even if you had, you shouldn't have dropped to an F from an A. Even mid-term and final exams rarely have that much impact on a grade unless you simple do miserably on them, even when it counts for 90% of the grade. The problem with teaching is that so much emphasis is put on a test that the purpose of testing and education is forgotten. The reason for a test isn't to try to not fail, even though that's how it seems. It's to check your knowledge and understanding of material. If someone doesn't understand certain parts of the material, teach it to them again. That way they get the education they need, instead of putting it into one ultimate test at the end where they either pass and sigh in relief, or fail and feel miserable. Same with assignments. How can someone learn if they try and then are criticized and graded, but not given a chance to try again? Just pointing out what was done wrong doesn't mean they suddenly learned from it and will know better in the future. I understand that there are time constraints and lots of students and such, but if the teaching plan included 2 tests for the mid and final exams, where the first one could be used by the students to study up on the parts they missed and know their areas of weakness, then there would be better students coming out. They'd know that they were given the chance to see what they needed to work on and learn what they didn't already pick up on. After all, if a student is missing a segment of questions (say they were sick for a week), then they could study up on those questions and know the material, pass onto the next level and move on, instead of either repeating the entire class or somehow passing but not knowing the material that they'll need later on.

Gee, way to go eva.. Insulting monkeys like that...

She was saying an opposite, not a similarity. Seduction

I would just put the trash bags out where the cans are supposed to be, and if they garbage people give you any crap about it, then give them crap back and tell them that it's not your fault someone stole your can, and also isn't your fault that a replacement one hasn't been provided to you yet. Also that if they don't like it, then they can push for your replacement can to be delivered a.s.a.p.

Don't get to used to it, it'll be gone right after Halloween.

Good luck. Depending on who the customer rep is, might tell you that they can't do it without the receipt. Little tidbit of a recommendation, go to a dollar store (Dollar Tree for example) and buy about three of those small colored plastic bins (looks like a miniature version of a milk crate) and look for a package of small manilla envelopes. Then mark one of the bins as "Odd" and the other as "Even", with the 3rd being left alone. Once that is done, whenever you go out and by something, toss the receipt into the appropriate bin (Odd for odd months, Even for even months). When you need a bin that already has receipts in it from another month (example, in December, needing the Even bin but it has October receipts in it), you put those old receipts into an envelope, mark it with the month of the receipts inside and toss it into the 3rd bin. Then when you are certain you won't need the receipts anymore, you shred up all the receipts and you can reuse the envelope. Very useful when you need to verify something that is a few months old, since you won't have to go digging around for the receipt. Just toss receipts into a bin that is out of the way, and then once a month you stuff them into an envelope and title it. A few mere seconds each month and then saving you minutes or even hours of frustration. Before shredding receipts though (SHRED, not throw away), look at each receipt to make sure that it's not one you need to keep for longer. If it's something that has a warranty on it for a year or 2, you'll want to keep it. If it's just something like food or something else where you would never possibly need the receipt, then shred it. Idea is to keep your receipt keeping on a slim-fast diet so that at the end of the year, you have only a few receipts that you may need for warranty/insurance reasons. Sounds like a lot of work or effort, but seriously, it's a very simple thing to do that will save you more time than it'll take, so you can actually be lazier in the long run. The only way to make it any lazier would be to stuff receipts into an envelope that is already marked for the month, just that if you need to find a receipt, you have to pull out all of the receipts and stuff them back in. That's why I recommend the baskets, because then you can just shuffle through them for up to 2 months. Also whatever you do, don't throw away packagings until you know you won't need them anymore. I recently purchased something, threw away part of the packaging, then found a similar item for half the price (and overall was better), but the store wouldn't take it back since part of the package was missing. Not complaining though, because it's understandable given the circumstances. Still, the store manager decided to do a price match on it, so I was more than happy with the outcome, since I was really on the losing end of the deal.

I'd report it to the staff. True, they may not be able to do anything about what has happened, but if it's happening to others, then perhaps the staff can be more alert to what other students are doing, and catch someone in the act. Could be an isolated incident, could be that you thought you had them but really lost them somewhere else, or could be that it's something that's on going and the more they hear about it, the more likely they are to be able to figure out who's doing it.

Add in peanut butter.. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The person underneath has experimented with the "out only" hole...

I meant when you get a new one, to do that. Also, make sure that when trash day is approaching, that you keep a few 'bonus' diapers on hand, then right after the garbage men come, you toss the diapers in there. That way, it's got the constant aroma to it, just in case they want to steal an empty can.

Ok so complain about the lateness on opening and the quality (lack thereof) of the substances being served.
