====================
Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> That would be a fun trip...Wyoming is another state that is
-> 
-> -> I can imagine!  Is it beef country up there or what?
-> 
->  hn> Beef mostly and some logging too  I think...sheep
->  hn> and horses. Lots of space in Wyoming! and several
->  hn> different mountain ranges as well! Devil's tower in
->  hn> the north eastern corner is absolutely AWESOME!
-> 
-> I presume you've got the pictures to prove it.
-> 
Why, now that you mention it, I do (grin)! If you ever
get the chance to go there, it's more than worth the 
effort! ( if you like that sort of thing! I do!)
-> 
-> -> -> battle for it.  Of course the winning DFacs (small and large) get
-> -> -> bragging rights too.
-> 
-> ->  hn> As opposed to the losers, who have "gagging" rights? (grin)
-> 
-> -> I guess so.  Wonder how many of them do an "Iron Chef" sort of
-> -> competition now.
-> 
->  hn> Would be interested to see that competition..or see
->  hn> the "iron chef's" in a chowhall kitchen!
-> 
-> Some could handle it better than others. I could see Bobby Flay or Mario
-> Batali doing it easily, not sure about Maurimoto, Cora or Simon.
-> 
Mario maybe, I don't think Bobby Flay would do so well,
but that's just my opinion! (grin)

-> -> English. But, I did well enough to graduate #12 out of 63.  Didn't take
-> -> Home Ec after junior high but took the Betty Crocker Homemaker of
-> -> Tomorrow test (at the time for senior girls) and walked off with the
-> -> award.
-> 
->  hn> My graduating class was almost 1000, it was easy to
->  hn> lay low and let things slip by. All I was interested in
->  hn> was keeping my grades up enough to not be a problem
->  hn> and keep me on the sports teams. I was plenty smart
->  hn> but it was easier to slide than excel.
-> 
-> I understand. I wasn't an Honor Society student like my older brother or
-> sister below me but I got thru.
-> 
-> ->  hn> got out of the navy and went to college, my GPA
-> ->  hn> was always 3.9+.
-> 
-> -> Mine wasn't that great but good enough that I got a BA.
-> 
->  hn> When I went to college I felt like I was paying for it
->  hn> and I wanted to get my money's worth! It would have
->  hn> been a whole different story if I had gone straight out
->  hn> of highschool with mom and dad paying the way. As it was,
->  hn> six years in the navy and a wife gave me the maturity
->  hn> and drive I needed to push my hardest!
->  hn> Got two Bachelor's in 5 years, both with hard course loads.
-> 
-> Sounds typical. I probably should have stopped out a year or so between
-> but had no specific plans and my folks sort of pushed the college thing.
-> My dad was the first one in his family to get a high school diploma & go
-> to college (mostly on the GI Bill).  It was pretty much a "given" that
-> we would all go to college--which we all did, but not all of us
-> finished.
-> 
College isn't for everyone, and lots of kids I saw when I was 
there didn't make it, mostly because they weren't there because
of their reasons, but more for the parents reasons. 
chat with you soon
