j/k just kidding
I finally figured out that IMHO means 'in my humble opinion', but I'm still
stuck on a few of the others.

-and , yes, we get out of here a fair amount. I like visiting other
places...it's just that 'home' is 'home' and visiting is visiting.
I just couldn't help but laugh at Kath and the blond/blue eyed thing.
Heck, whites are actually a minority in California- something like 47 or
48%.
I think she must have been talking about Oklahoma...don't you?

This is sad. My son felt the same way while he was practicing law and
earning an obscene amount of money. He had always wanted to study medicine
but never thought he had a chance having already cast his lot and then
sealing it with a wife, house, and son. I think he is still amazed that he
is not only going to realize his dream in August but that he got several
medical school acceptances so very soon after applying (which meant he was
in the top group of candidates considered). And he is 30; that's hardly the
end of the rainbow for medical school anymore.
