What's on your mind?

If it is an unofficial visit than by all means the parent should be there.

For official and any "overnight" the parent should not be there.

The initial visits to check out the school, interviews etc... are a family's chance to get to know the school etc. and help in the decision process. The overnights etc. are for the prospective to help make the final decision since they will be the one who has to live there for the next four years.


Was your college student DD able to have an internship during her college years?

Oldest DD - Yes - summer after Junior year near school in Maine
2nd oldest - NA / went to work, not college
3rd oldest - No, after graduation in Maine, internship in San Diego
4th oldest - Yes - just finished, after Junior year. VA College, internship in Maine
5th oldest - NA / 2 year school and had to do more of an apprenticeship prior to graduation

Since it is so easy to communicate now, why is it even harder to get people to communicate ?

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965)

You can understand capitalism when you realize that Thomas Edison improved the world more than Karl Marx

Answer to question #1 - If she doesn't want to clean it, her hair deseves to smell as bad as her cleats or the inside of her glove ... And I'm not cleaning those either

Answer to question # 2 - Where the ball is hit hard, by right Atem ... Either that or your player was doing the Atem & Eve thing and now she can't play for at least 9 months ...

Answer: Not every one plays a sport, so there are those that think little of coaches, while bus drivers may end up with their dds life in their hands.(field trips ect.) That is why drivers are payed more. They are also reimbursed for handling kids on their bus.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqWq0sQj-AQ

Question: Name 3 of the worse things a player can do in softball offensively?
