I called the disability bus and they said they didn't go to the local college campus. I called a second time to ask about if they dropped off close to it but they said they don't go anywhere around there. I called a 3rd time to rephrase the question Is there anywhere close by you can drop me off. He asked if I was disability I said yes he said they could probably take me call back tomorrow after 8 AM. The disability bus is supposed to take you ANYWHERE in town! So I'm going to call back tomorrow after 8 AM dad said perhaps they thought I was pertaining to the MAIN bus line which DOESN'T go to that college. Dad also said talk to the supervisor I never thought to do this and just accepted no as an answer leading me into a crying OMG upset meltdown! (School starts MONDAY or I'd change courses to the other campus but it's practically too late and I already have books bought etc.) Wish me luck. I just got to thanking I don't stand up or stick up for myself much. I try to stick up for the little sisters being yelled at but I get a negative response THEY ARE OUR KIDS WE RAISE THEM HOW WE WANT TO!! ! (So much for sticking up for them.) :-( I'll keep you guys informed.

Okay, I just gotta ask now after reading so many threads about your family:
Did your parents take out some gigantic life insurance policy on you? Because it almost seems like they're deliberately trying to push you into killing yourself or whatever.
They trying to cash in or something?

Wow, does that ever sound familiar. Yeah. In fact, that's one of my worst problems, and the route of almost all misunderstandings I get involved with or cause.

It happened just recently. Sent a detailed letter to someone trying to explain some things I was thinking about, then got a letter back and wrote a response to that, but then it occurred to me something might be wrong, so I sent the reply from him, and the reply draft from me to a third guy to see what he thought. Sure enough, after reading "guy three's" response to me, I realized me and the first guy might just be talking about two totally different things. I totally REwrote my reply to him and sent it off. Still waiting to hear if I got it right.

Yeah. I confuse the hell out of people with the way I word things. All the time. I end up getting answers that don't make sense because they thought I was saying something completely different from what I meant.

I don't know how many times, even here on WP, I have to say, "What you think I said is not what I meant."

Mr Xxx I LOVE your HOUSE Avatar one of my favorite favorite SHOWS! I'm hoping still with college I can make time for it still. (Before 5 years ago I loved Smallville but college was kind of stressful (albight fun) so I let that show go (so to speak) I don't plan on letting many shows go this time though. :-) (Some series are summer shows so I can watch during the summer.) :-)

I'm sorry, do you mean you like my house? Or did you want to know if it was near a college?

Just kidding. :P

I've been a big Hugh Laurie fan for a long time. I just changed it to see if you've ever seen him in this role. That's him from Black Adder (with Rowan Atkinson). I've kind of drifted from House to Criminal Minds, and now The Glades, but I still watch House now and again. Black Adder is hard to find if it's on at all, and my wife hates it, sooooo.....

I've heard he played in stuff besides HOUSE he's a very good actor. Going back and watching stuff with him in it is funny (knowing it's him or his voice) He voiced the Roach Dr. guy in Monsters VS. Aliens he's a very good actor. :-)

I have a very hard time, wording things, and it's gotten me in more trouble here, than anywhere else. I say it like it is, and I get cornered by another member, about it. I guess since I do most of my communicating, here I will run into most of my problems, here.

Here's the first show I ever saw him in, Jeeves and Wooster. Jeeves is the character that the web site "Ask Jeeves" is named after:

Here he is in Black Adder:

(I'll shut up now that we've both practically hijacked your thread ~ just remember ~ you started it! :P)

Your usage of commas seems to be the most troublesome, they aren't used very naturally.

I hope you're just picking on the irony there. ^^^ :?:
