If the calendar didn't say Friday, I'd swear that this was Monday in disguise...on steroids. [emoji57]

Don't say that! I need my weekend to recharge for my last 5 shifts before a week off and to get in some assignments for school + studying.

Had a pretty good day for the most part. Took the hippies to get haircuts and hit a couple of stores before we came home. Wife made a ton of BBQ country style pork ribs, corn and salad for dinner

Wondering why bad shit in my life has to happen in twos... Back in '05, my grandfather passed away then less than 2 months later I lost my sister. We were really close and as a result I never really got over it, even today. Then yesterday morning my fiancee returns home from her parents' with bad news that she miscarried. Now if that wasn't enough of a kick in the nutz, I get a call last night from my uncle to tell me my aunt's father died that morning. My life's gone to hell!

OMG dude that's horrifying news. The same thing happened to my sister about 3 years ago. No idea if she ever got over it because I don't talk about it with her. I hope for nothing but the best for you and your fiance.

Had to double check this story was true before posting about it...

Quote:

An online adjunct professor incorrectly told a student that Australia isn’t a country and gave her a failing grade, prompting Southern New Hampshire University to replace the instructor.

Buzzfeed News reports that the 27-year-old student in Idaho was assigned to compare American social norms to that of another country. She chose to study social media use in Australia, but the professor gave her a zero on that portion of the assignment, saying Australia is a continent, not a country.

Australia is actually both — a country and a continent.

University officials tell WMUR-TV the instructor has been replaced following an investigation. In a statement, the university said it deeply regrets the interaction between the professor and student, and wished athletes from Australia good luck in the Olympic games.

Here's the link to the Buzzfeed article which has the back-and-forth communication between the student and teacher. And it actually gets worse as it goes along.

I like the screens that the Echo has. Shows even lyrics to songs. But unless you're subscribed to their music or otherwise have downloaded the song, if you ask them to play some songs, they will only play samples.

Games are fun though.
