Just found out my son is preparing It's A Wonderful Life for the fall high school play.

And I can't be Mr. Potter.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Having to pay a fee to have your college transcripts mailed somewhere is completely stupid.

Is this for school? If so, let the requesting institution pay the fee.

How does this work?

This is for my daughter. she took some classes at a local college through her high school. Now that she is enrolled in a 4 yr school they need her transcript of those classes in order to give her credit for them.

It's common for schools to request/pay for transcripts on the student's behalf. They are getting a shit-ton of your money and need the information. The school is ultimately a third party, but talk to an admissions advisor. Your daughter may have already signed a request for transcripts as part of the application process.

A friend and his family is a taking a road trip to Disney World. They must have made 20 Facebook posts in 3 days about their trip. And I am talking about pictures from having dinner at Papa John's in some podunk town in Kentucky and playing at a park at some roadside rest stop in rural Georgia. Yesterday, the wife posts a picture of her mileage walked for the day. I keep resisting the urge to post a smartass comment such as "wait- you're on vacation?"

$1500 dollars so my van can pass emission tests. I live in a county with two of the largest steel mills in the country along with a giant refinery and they are worried about our cars. Oh, and only 4 counties in the whole fucking state have to take emission tests and one of them isn't Marion County that just so happens to be Indianapolis. Only the biggest city in the state.

Are you complaining about them or just don't understand why people have them?

I like all types of dogs but will probably only own little dogs.

Wow, I don't have worry about an em missions tests in Kendall County IL. Always hilarious to hear a member of the "The Region" bitch about goverment overreach.

Roll Tide on that.

Next time you spin 'Lowdown', pretend it's Len singing it, with a couple of "outta here"s peppered in.

My son is going to try playing soccer for the first time this year (he's 12). I just met his coach yesterday and he's pushing 350lbs. I think he got winded by the handshake. This does not bode well.
