Sorry I am late for the first day of class Dagny1. I figured we will answer a basic question concerning geography to see how far we REALLY need to go in order to get to the rest stop. Which term comes closest to describing where we live?

It's like watching one of the shopping channels where the hosts have to keep reminding the elderly ladies who spend all day in front of the TV: "You be sure to take a break and get something to eat."

mehaul Multiloquent Registered: Wed Feb 03 2010 Posts: 3742 Loc: Florida USA	Being at the back of this parade, I must say that you folks have kept the place tidy. But someone keep an eye out for the graffiti artist with the spray cans who's done "You'll get yours" and "Quiz This" all over the place. For a nominal fee, while I'm here, I'll paint over it in a pretty pink. _________________________ "...Tomorrow's come a long way to help you."

salami_swami Forum Champion Registered: Thu Nov 01 2007 Posts: 6857 Loc: Colorado USA	I've caught up! Pit stop 2. So tired. I must sleep. Tomorrow I must make party invitations for my parents 25th anniversary, study for a bit, go to church, finish my commission quiz, and find time to eat. Glad I'm at a pit stop in the race! :-P _________________________ Subliminal message being sent. Did it work?

sisterseagull Forum Adept Registered: Tue Aug 16 2011 Posts: 129 Loc: Torquay Devon England UK	Does the 'password' for advancement change every two hours to coincide with your next attempt to select the correct one? I've been stuck for the last 24 hours and have selected each and every one but still don't seem to be able to move forward... I'm starting to get a bit p****d with it now
