Ouch! I get financial aid right now so it's not so bad.

The forum is faster, it did bog earlier for just second, but nothing like a couple weeks ago.

I bought some stuff from countycomm, last week: some peanut lighters, razors, battery holders, aircraft mechanic's keychains, little things like those.

Will do. I got the standard size PSK, but in A2 instead of the O1. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it, should be the last item in, and I'll do a review after I've had some time with it.

Hey, Dice,

That $30,000 will be a good investment for you!

By the way, those AA battery holders from Countycomm ROCK! I like them much better than I expected. If you carry lots of AA batteries, they're worthwhile.

I live less then 10 minutes from them, but can't pick up stuff due to some government contract. They did forget to send me the micro grappling hook (my friend ordered it), but they took care of it immediately.

The battery holders are awesome. I got them for the 123 batteries.

You must be very close to where I am, right now.

I know, it's annoying that I have to wait and pay shipping, when they are so close.

My TK10 showed up here today! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Mike! I'll be hitting 6 figures between undergrad/grad school w/ loans - pretty scary!

Pink - financial aide (as in Grants) = $0.00 when you go to grad school! I sure found that out the hard way!

Also, the school had budgeted my family and I $12,000 for living expenses for a year (which is less than our rent per year) and told me that they "would not certify a loan to exceed that amount, even from a private institution." If you ever bump in to that problem down the road, look in to "Uncertified Private Student Loans" - I got mine from Chase. The school not only neglected to tell me that I had other options for $$, they threatened me with "if we find out you've taken out more loans than we have budgeted for you, we'll take away your Stafford Loan award." Their answer was to "reduce your cost of living to meet your budget." I could rant forever as I was pretty offended and pissed off, but I'll try and keep the conversation light! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hiya Chris!

I'm off to bed guys - my final papers are DONE, I just have 3 exams and a statistics project left to knock out - 7 more days and I'm done - graduation is on the 10th!

diceman - I'd be pissed too. Good luck with your finals. I have mine in a couple weeks.

coldone - Nice! How do you like it? I'm getting the black TK10 sometime in June/July.

Hi Dan, bye Dan!

Congrats on finishing the papers!
