I also find that an overly large number take the AP test, don't do as well as they wanted, take the class, and bomb it because they (quoting here) "already took it, so they're good to go."

I'm the ancient relic who loves Christmas cards.
They come from a time when people couldn't communicate instantly and constantly via email, text, phone, and social media. They represent a time when people separated by time and circumstance still tried to remember others during the holidays.
Having lost both parents, who seemed to always wind up with the belongings of other relatives, the cards my mother kept are a wealth a knowledge about our family history and the past in general. And I kept the letters she sent me, and sometimes pull them out and imagine the words in her voice. Just seeing her perfect handwriting makes me cry.
For me, cards and letters are a more permanent way of remembering people who are important to me. They survive computer crashes and dead phones. So I have made a more conscious effort to actually write my boys who are out of state. My husband likes to send them postcards from home. Assumed maybe they just tossed them, but my grad student son has a postcard from his dad up on a board in his office.
Okay, that does it, I am sending cards. I don't every year. I'll have to look in the wicker trunk and see if I bought any at the end of the season last year when they practically gave them away at Macy's. I always end up with a few extras and then wonder who I can send them to the next year without risking sending someone the same card. Think I marked down the who got what from the mishmash of cards I had last year.
My husband is the best. Knowing I'm not feeling well he came up to help put Z to sleep. She is such a night owl.
Crazy girl. She held out till 10 or so.
LittleWx wanted to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse at 4 this morning...that was a fun discussion.
I would also point out that freshman year at ISU everyone is trying to make friends, but if you're a transfer in junior year. Not saying you won't make any friends, but it'll be harder.
She likes staying up...combined with (I think) I don't want to be alone in her room. So, I'm not sure what the next best thing to do is.
Yep. Do it. Good money for little effort and helping people
It sounds similar to doing red blood cells. I am O negative so they always want my red blood cells. They hook you up to a machine that draws blood out, they separate the red blood cells keep them and then just give you the leftover crap back with some saline.
I guess with plasma they separate plasma and then return the leftover crap with some saline.
Places pay you for plasma don't they?
This also reminds me that I have been eligible to donate since September so I need to do that
It's not as bad in town than at the boss's place. As long as I keep moving, I'm fine.
One of my kids did it all the time at ISU. Made a ton of money that way. Seemed to be something everyone in Helser did.
Every time he wanted something he didn't want to spend money on, he went. Such as a trip to Vegas or a gaming system.
My FIL used to do it twice a week every week for several years. He now has a permanent "hole" in his arm where they always went in. I did it a few times but after they missed my vein turned the needle inside my arm to get it right and I nearly passed out I never went back.
