Subject: Pietenpol-List: average ageWalt,Sorry if things were not clear before, although I'm not sure what didn't make sense. None of what I wrote was ebonics or even shorthand really. In the interest of true communication, I will "translate" what I think you are referring to. Here goes.> Hey gang- that's anyone on the list who reads what I write and doesn't hate it.>Planning, gathering, doing building-related-stuff- In other words reading, researching, daydreaming, and talking the ears off any builder who would listen to a 'spring chicken' like me.>Small college student budget- I attend a university whose purpose, it seems, is to build buildings, sell books, make commercials, sell merchandise, do research, and occasionally educate me. All of this is accomplished through student loans and a part-time job which leaves me with just enough money to buy excuses for why I'm not building fast enough.>Doing my part to hold down the average- This refers to the fact that my age (22) helps hold down the group average and make us all a little younger by association. Or something like that.>I'd be happy to keep mine within 50%- Basically I'm way behind the eight ball when it comes to reducing my own personal 'ballast' but I'm working on it and it's just as much a part of my project as not adding other excess weight to the plane. I would like to lose at least 33% of what I weigh now (i.e. I am 150% of my Goal)>O-H-I-O! Go Bucks!- If you need help with this one, turn on your tv around 8pm eastern tonight, observe the TENS of thousands of screaming Ohio State fans who flew across the country and INVADED Arizona, just to be CLOSER to a game they don't even have tickets for, to cheer on their beloved Buckeyes. Then note that for every 50 Scarlet or Gray fans you see, if your sharp, you might find 1 Florida Gator standing motionless with their orange and blue covered up mostly, hoping their team can pull a miracle from their tiny bag of tricks.> Tim Hansen in "Buckeye Country" - Ohio________________________________________________________________________FREE Reminder Service - NEW from AmericanGreetings.comClick HERE and never forget a Birthday or Anniversary again!
