Bcs Title Game Predictions
Not with Mettenberger at QB. Unless their passing offense really improved during their off week, I don't see it. I have deep respect for LSU's defense and stable of RBs, but their QB's play has continue to be well below average. Even when he make throws his WRs sometimes let him down. Being one dimenson don't work against Alabama's D. I'd like to see Bama vs Oregon. I honestly think Oregon's speed give us a little more fit if they can block our D-line to prevent backfield disruption. Remember Nick Fairly against Oregon's O-line??!?!

Insomnia
Understandable. Having nothing to do can be make days painful. It what i hated the most when I had my leg surgery, all I could do was sit on computer, watch tv, play xbox, and study. It got annoying and depressing quickly. Riding bikes, getting out of the house, and doing things that has a real purpose can be mentally and physically draining. Which is a good and normal thing. Not having a real purpose, or being physically disable can drive one crazy and throw his/her body cycle out of whack, in my experience.

Best Quote Ever
A former classmate and I were having lunch today and he said, "It's the fact that they are adventurous, cultured, and open to experimentation. Three keys to achieving intelligence." It's so true. The more time I spend in the real world talking to people and reading things on online message boards, I find it extremely fascinating that people are quick to dismiss, judge things, and lack tolerance because of ignorance. I think human behavior is starting to become a pet peeve of mine. I don't ask for these thoughts, it mostly started by watching two of George Carlin's acts. Life is Worth Losing and It All B.S. Folks. haha. It just blew my mind.

Insomnia
"Recent research has made it clear that CB1 receptor agonists act on pathways that partially overlap with those activated by opioids but through pharmacologically distinct mechanisms. (5) Research on cannabinoid biology offers new insights into clinical use, especially given the scarcity of clinical studies that adequately evaluate the medical value of marijuana. For example, despite the scarcity of substantive clinical data, basic science has made it clear that cannabinoids can affect pain transmission and, specifically, that cannabinoids interact with the brain's endogenous opioid system, an important system for the medical treatment of pain." Source: http://serendip.bryn...aalexander.html My roommate in college is a psychology major and his field of interest is drug abuse and marijuana studies. He has access to database loaded with psychology clinical studies. His thesis will be done on the plant. Even the U.S. Supreme court are now revisiting new studies about its therapeutic values. The plant itself does has analgesic properties. Then again, what's the difference in being high on marijuana and feeling the buzz from the painpill where in either cases you feel the buzz more than the actual pain? Medical states even have creams you can rub on your body that relieves pain, but doesn't make you feel high. (loaded with Cannaboid.) I'm not going make a huge debate or attempt to derail this thread, but I was just offering an alternative and if the OP doesn't want to revisit or consider it that is fine, just thought it could be thrown out there. I mean, once you eliminate alcohol, painpaill, sleep med, what else is there?!?!?

Do you live in a medical marijuana state? They'll help with both symptoms minus all the crappy side effects and addiction.

What does an Auburn fan do after they win a football game? Turn off the Xbox and go to sleep. Of course you could substitute Auburn for Tennessee, Missouri, or any team you wish.

Question: Should I Tip Delivery Drivers?
You know, if you find a $100 bill on the road, you're suppose to claim that as income on your tax form. No one does it, but "found money" is taxable income when reported. My point? If that taxable, so are tips paid in cash. lol Anything that constitute as income is taxable, no way around it. Money you made from yard sales, peddling drugs, etc is all taxable. It just a matter of how you report it or not report it. I could care less whether one reports their cash tip or not. I rarely carry cash, so all of my tips are written on my card and in theory there is a paper trail. Sorry if you waited or delivered me and you're one of those that don't report their tips in cash.

Question: Should I Tip Delivery Drivers?
I usually tip my delivery guy in college about 2-4 bucks depending on how much cash I have on me. Restaurants and tip employees is one of the most fascinated thing to understand from businesses and consumers' perspective. I remember about a year ago, a buddy of mine from my finance class decided go out for a beer at a local restaurant. He overheard this guy next to us talking how he tipping is excessive since he assumed the people serving him makes 7.25 an hour. (federal minimum wage) My friend laughed a little after the person said that then told me what he said and I chuckled too. Apparently we caught the guy's attention, and I politely said, "servers in this area probably only makes 2.17 plus tips." Long short story the guy tried prove me wrong, but it was funny to me and I was feeling relaxed from the beers, so I didn't care and wasn't going to get angry over it. In my opinion, it all started because restaurants needed a way for people keep coming back, and they thought if servers really gave such a prompt and great services people would tip them well and come back. It sounds like a good idea on paper, but 98% of the consumers don't understand that concept. (Just throwing a random statistic out, but you get the idea.) So, when I go out I prepare to tip a little extra if the service was great, if it wasn't great I'll tip low. If I can't afford to tip, I don't go out.

Grate Or Great??? Updated 9/25/12
Spelling was the wrong word, I apologize. Let me try to again, maybe she wrote it out of context to relate to the kids.. I've seen Pre-k kids write like that. Not all of them goes to a fancy private Pre-k school that teach them how to actually write...I thought it was a fair assumption. Not saying I agree with her method of relating to kids, but just shining light at another direction instead of jumping to conclusion that she is careless or ignorant.

No Time For Anything...
I had a job in high school while fishing weekly tournament during the spring. The thing is, I never studied in high school. I just read the notes while teacher lectured and I was able to retain all of the reading materials in my head for the test. I never studied at home... I guess that why I think high school is not time consuming.

You're in high school, how hard and time consuming could school be??! Beside the fact you're forced to be there from 8-3.

Coach Saban's Legend Continues To Grow
Um, we was playing 2-4th strings in the 3rd and 4th quarter. The running back that scored and made it 45 was a 4th string... the qb that scored on zone read is listed as a 3rd string. We replaced the entire o line and all the defense. Arkansas gave up completely in 4th... You're just upset cause Missouri can't play big boy football for 60 minutes. I can't wait for that game.

Wow How Things Do Change
There is still a lot of great musicians out there. Unfortunately musics like these and teens like Justin Beiber are the mainstream. I like musics that is deep and sound a lot better than mainstream. If you want to hear a sample of good musics that have been written recently and are not mainstream, let me know and I'll send you some samples.

Renters / Tenants Rights ???
Did you sign a lease for x amount of months? For instance, if you signed a 12 months lease and you gotta be out before the 12th months, isn't there a breach in lease contract on the owner's part? Or is there a clause in the lease agreements about these kind of things? I'm not lawyer, just taking a stab at another angle. Otherwise I'd say screw it and move out. No reason to spend money on something the bank is inevitable going to take unless you wanna buy it from the bank.
