    He's never been a GREAT student but something must have clicked that grades matter and he started trying his junior year. If he does well in them, he'll graduate high school with 18 college credits. :eek:

    I have no problems with the dentist, but I haven't been to one since Feb 2016. I've moved twice and never bothered finding a new one. I probably should at some point.

    Cool looking car, but I wish they'd stick with North American sports car styling and not start pushing into European supercar styling...

    I think the days of GM subtly mirroring Ferrari are over. With the mid engine and the aesthetics, to me it looks like a mixture of a 360 Modena and a 458 Italia.

    I built the wife a raised bed garden trying to keep the dog out.
    As soon as I filled it the dog jumped in started digging like crazy.
