Yep! I only made one F in my entire school career (Algebra II). I was smart enough to do what it took to correct the problem. Some things don't change! I'm STILL a smart cookie!

Thank you,David. I was getting a little worried reading all these posts in how economically slow it is there. In Georgia we got a "D" so if we've been okay then I'm not so afraid to move to Maine.

Maine 38.0 2
New Hampshire 37.9 3

The reason most of our students do well in reading is that they were born here and English is their first language.

This isn't the right post but you tell your wife she's in my thoughts ... it's a shame when a hard-working person who has taken care of themself STILL suffers with the same problems as those who do anything to their 'temple'.
Tell her I admire her pluck. She's a good woman and she has my strong thoughts for good health coming at her ..... oh, and I don't have to be the one to say: GET A SECOND AND THIRD AND FOURTH OPINION.

Please.

They keep building all these luxury condos and the people who somehow magically qualify for same ... oh my god you can tell they've never put a napkin on their lap or figured out to start from the left.
None of that matters, it's just me pointing out how they're glossing over this stuff by importing some folks to skew the numbers here.
This IS Florida. Shouldn't surprise any of you.
I'm surprised they don't have a turnstile stretching across the panhandle to keep us IN HERE. They want to they just can't quite get away with it.

But I believe alot of the things about maine. I believe the self employment and small business and etc. The wealth one was kinda hard but just a few families might have caused that topple (bush and the rest of them farther down, lots of money there)
Only took a quick look so don't get mad at me; I'd have to study it to render a real live opine.

I had a thought occur to me, (not sure if it's worth much). With all of the toy recalls, I think the market for home crafted toys will become larger this year and open up a wider market for well constructed and unique gifts. If there are some here that sew, knit, crochet, and/or woodwork, I think this could be a very good year to get your items out for people to see. Hand sewn dolls and small wooden trains and trucks would do very well for example, and a lot of small local stores will display your items for you. You may even want to leave your contact info for custom orders.
