I see some thought provoking messages about being grateful in this thread...

here goes my list anyways:

BB Curve (want an iphone)
PS2 - just sits in my closet
a big heavy 25" tv - just sits in my closet
old clothes - they're ready to be donated pretty soon
a shed in my backyard - it was great at first, but i'm tearing it down and making a garden instead
03 Altima - trading it in for an M3 :D

2 x 512MB of DDR2 PC2-5300 memory pulled from a MacBook.

I've offered it on the market place millions of times, and no-one is ever interested.

All I ask if that you cover postage costs (the memory is free as long as it will upgrade a machine you own, and not taking it for free to sell on), and I'm in the UK.

I have a trapeze that the previous occupier of my apartment left when I bought it.

Lots of old & not particularly nice furniture (ditto), which I'm trying to get rid of.

Social anxiety disorder. ;)

Lots of old consoles & games which I'm a bit reluctant to dump, but can't find anyone to whom to give they can be given.

Well I could really do without my mortgage, but I guess then the bank would want the condo back! :D

Really that's pretty much it. If I find more stuff, like the odd computer components and the like I usually have three options:
Sell on craigslist... for stuff I think I can easily get about $100 for
Give it away to a charity
Trash/recycle it!

As for me? A science fair project.

I knew that when I went into the advanced biology class that I'd have to do one, but stupid me assumed it wouldn't be any worse than eighth grade. Ha. Funny. It's way more difficult.

And I've hated science fair ever since ever.

You know what, do you want to trade situations?

I hated science in high school and college, but after being in the working world almost 30 years, it's stuff like physics, animal biology, and math that excite me today, really. I am tired of nightclubs or hanging out at theaters watching hollywood blockbuster movies. The mall is boring and too much targeted to the youth market. But I can't get enough of science and anytime something comes up on public tv, animal planet, or the history channel, I am there.

that's really cool. i remember struggling in high school freshman year bio. then went into chem e and changed to biology/psychology for my majors. then thought law school, and am now back to thinking pharmacy.

science is one of those things that will affect you whether you like it or not, and it's really cool to understand and learn about it.

right now, my job, but not my passion, is to learn about contracts, wills, probate and other solicitor stuff and it will pay the bills like every other job i had in my life

if i were younger i would love to be a field biologist or an astronomer

the founder of the "learning company" was actually an ex-lawyer who woke up one day and decided to follow his passions of the liberal arts of undergraduate school and high school

he put out tapes, and then CD/DVDs, and made that his living

i, too find the liberal arts and science stuff of high school and undergrad the most fascinating stuff in life

grad school or professional school (jd, md, pharmd, dds, mba) from what i have seen, is further job training for most people who just want a bump up in salary/wage in a job/career they would rather not have

if someone could, they should follow their passions and very few have the vision or the convenience of such a venture ... and fewer have the courage

high risk, high reward, but there aren't many who are willing to take on that risk (usually financial for business loans, etc.).

i remember reading somewhere that people who graduated during recession times were less likely to go into risky things like investment banking whereas those who graduated during prosperous times were more likely to take on more risk for greater rewards.

we all make our own choices, whether to stay in our jobs or to move on to something else....

- The color of my room (light green)
- Knowing some people
- Pool (PITA to clean)

An impeding LSAT :(

I got great grades in college, but got only a mediocre bottom quartile LSAT. A few more points would have put me at the halfway point. A buddy of mine started the LSAT cold at 130, like me on first try cold in a practice book, but he took Kaplan, the course, and got a 180 six times in a row.

There's something to say for a professional prep company like Kaplan. Same goes for the bar. You can be a star student in law school but without a great bar prep course like bar-bri, especially in California, you can be dead in the water.

Take Kaplan. There's a method to mastering the LSAT. It's not about logic, it's not about smarts, it's not about previous knowledge, but it's a technique. It's too late for me since I am second trimester, 1L, but if you can do at least 170 on LSAT, your options are open, even with dismal grades in undergrad.

Fair or not, standardized test are the great equalizer in some situations. In a hs class of 200+ students, I scored in the bottom 25% percent with a 2.3 graduating gpa, but I got into a decent school by working the SAT and getting in the top 1% percent in the nation on the more important math section of the SAT test. So if you kill the LSAT, you can get into a law school far above what you think you deserve.

This. This has been the WORST computer I have ever owned in my life. In a way, I'm glad I had it because it was my first computer to have a processor over 300 MHz, but I'm beginning to think that it wasn't worth the agony it put me through. Something on it goes wrong pretty much every other week, and it's just plain slow.

In fact I have several of the POS's on the left, as well as smaller POS's which seem to spend significant amounts of time going to and fro between the Apple Service Provider and either my office or home due to functional or panel issues which just don't crop up on my Ultrasharps anywhere near as much.

The POS in the middle is fortunately going to be fobbed off to someone else, who actually :confused: wants it. One of three - only one of which I actually managed to sell for money, I ought to add.

POS on the right is behaving itself at the moment. Perhaps it's feeling (literally) overshadowed by the Dells.
