I think "egregious" is a great word and should be used more often in everyday society.
As Used in sentence:
"His conduct was egregious," she said.

For all you home buyers out there Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is deductible for contracts signed in 2007 or after. This was enacted into law as part of the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998 as in effect on December 20, 2006. PMI is required for mortgage where less than 20% is put down on a home purchase.

Also make have your lender cancel your PMI once your equity in the home is greater than 20%.

Oddly enough craigslist is a cool place to find free stuff. Most people post the stuff because it is more convenient to give it away then throw it away. Here is some things I found:

• free dirt delivered
  
• Free desk on the street NOW
  
• 2 large bags of packing peanuts
  
• Free punching bag
  
• Free Guinee Pig

To find free stuff in your town goto http://craigslist.org and browse the "free category" under "For Sale"

Think you're smarter than the average driver? When's the last time you took a written drivers test? When you were 16 getting a permit? How do you think you'd score if you took it again today? Take the GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test and see if you pass with flying colors, or if you could use a little brushing up.

I got 19 out of 20 correct.

NY was rated second worst drivers as NJ was #1 for being the overall worst drivers. GO NY!

Okay so I got nervous shits a lot and I finally took it upon myself to search the internet for more information on the causes and potentials cure. It really sucks when you have an event/meeting/interview/test/date to goto and your ready to walk out the door and you suddenly feel like you have to crap. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything very useful except for link below. If anybody has experience or information please post as I'd like to hear your crappy stories.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the crap post.

Joshua says that he is frequently referred to as "White boy" and has been fighting with racism all his life since he grew up in a predominantly black area. Even after being awarded as valedictorian he still his frowned upon by some of his peers, Muhammad, a junior said "I just kind of wish he had done it at a different institution."

[Mood: Tired]

NASA is offering $17,000 for a test (human) subject to stay in bed for 90 days. This is according to their website:

Participants will spend 90 days lying in bed, (except for limited times for specific tests) with their body slightly tilted downward (head down, feet up). Every day, they will be awake for 16 hours and lights out (asleep) for 8 hours.

Hmm... this could work for me as long as there is internet provisions haha.. bonus if the 90 days fall during tax season. I find it rather appalling that the price is so set so high anyways I'm sure they can really find a good subject for less than their offer. It's good to know our tax dollars go towards paying for someone who's only duties are to sleep on the job. This is the best use of tax dollars yet.
