Hoople, thats what freelancing is for!

As an end of the year "present" 5,6,7, grade get to go to the local theme park, Busch Gardens-- in place of a school day.
Last year, smoke from fires across the nation poured into the city; we couldn't see the rest of Tampa from the top of the rollercoaster.
We knew we might get a call to return to the bus, but our chaperone didn't get the call or something, sooooooo...
While the rest of the grade was sitting on a non-airconditioned bus for two hours, we were riding rides.
Unfortunately, those barbarians called when I was eating lunch!!! Can you believe that?! I missed most of my lunch!!!
Needless to say everyone was incredibly *** off at us!
bump!
This is my last week for school! *ducks out the door*
Woohoo, 36 days until school is out for me...
I'm working on this annoying turnout on my layout, NOTHING runs through it, I swear it's defective... I have to go to my dad's house next tuesday and bring home some more 22" radius so I can swap it out and just not have it for awhile, make my life and trains easier.
Well, last I was in, I think I was whining about wanting my big boy. Oh yes, it's here.

Bump!
How's things going for you guys. school's almost over!
I need to work more on my layout...

No problem Geared Steam!
I wasn't really offended by that post, as it wasn't saying ALL teens are like that, on the contrary, I think it's just the opposite. Most teens aren't like that.
Oh, and posting the link to NTRES would sort of be a no-no with the Kalmbach rules, Bergie sent me an email after he deleted the link in my signiture to it. You may want to take out the link. Just my
