 HN> $30/day?? Wow! That's a lot of $$ ! $210/week, $840/month! 
 HN> Now THAT's a wine budget!!

Certainly is. I wondered if they pulled out the stops for me,
but in fact, they regularly drink a bottle to a bottle and half
of decent wine a day per person. Lately, I admit, they've been
drinking Beringer Pinot Grigio at 1/3 the price of their usual
hooch, but they're drinking more of it.

 HN> In high school I was a slacker...just did enough to stay

 HN> a totally different story ( and in all my navy schools
 HN> as well), had a cumulative 3.94 for both my BS's

My pattern was the opposite. I worked like a dog in high
school - made high honors every quarter but one, during which
the English teacher whose class I'd rotated in to gave me an 80.
In the hated physics, I once pulled a 75, but everything else
was close to 100, so I was okay. In college I did what I felt
like, and if I'd been a music performance major (which I could
not do at the school I attended, Harvard, as there wasn't such
a thing), I'd have made high honors, but instead I did what I
pleased and took the courses I wanted and studied when I wanted,
so I just squeaked by with honors; my thesis, done in crash
mode in about a week, was said to have been pretty good, so I
ended up with high honors on my diploma anyway, despite the
fact that for 13 plus quarters I didn't perform to that
standard (I did do an all A semester in sophomore year).

I did note a certain stubborn streak. Is she a taurus, like me?
