ION - did I mention here that mac's bus company is claiming a check of mine bounced? I am arguing with them, even though my bank shows it cleared and I have my statement to show that not only did it not bounce, but I had a balance of almost ten times the check amount still in the bank. I have had to print out my bank statement, black out all account info on it, for the bank account as well as accounts of bills I pay. I also have a copy of the cancelled check showing two stamps on the back.
Something shady is going on and I am stuck because I have paid through the end of June with these people.
If I had a dollar for every time my last name has been mispronounced (It's "pete-," not "pet-"), I'd probably have a down payment for a decent Buffista Island.
IOON, have I mentioned here that if mac runs out of his afterschool classroom one more time this school-year they will not let him attend there anymore? My closest back-up is a program run by the people who run the bus company.

The only way I could change my name to Canadianize it even more would be to add the e and let everyone pronounce it the way they do already.
I don't see how the bus company can win if you have the cancelled cheque, msbelle.
My dad has a second cousin named Lucian who moved from St. Pierre to Cape Cod when he was in his 20s. He's got the strangest French/American accent ever. He pronounces his name "Loo-shun", while we still all Frenchify it.

Do you mean he's supposed to walk, not run (I'm being way too literal), or that he does a whole going-over-the-prison-wall running *away* thing?
I've been to Iowa many times and have found it to be pretty nice place. I like the cooler climate as well.
It is! You can afford housing here! The "rush hour" is more like the "rush 20 minutes!" And we have cinnamon rolls the size of your head -- ask Allyson and Polgara.
