MrsTrucker: I may be a woman, but even I know that ANY man would want to pet that avatar! LOL
Mrs. Trucker: I did have my own concerns with that comment, but only because of the word usage...."pet" her? :| I understand though, managamy....just...yeah.

In other news, that is an awesome picture of Tupper Ware, I'm almost finished with one of my painstaking finals, still no word from anybody, TruckerD is a humble genius and I had no idea, Mrs. Trucker is like the sweetest lady ever, and people are getting more optimistic by the day. If I had a Budweiser in my hand, I'd say life would be juuust abooout right.

I appreciate the positive vibes, but you're dangerously close to tempting fate. It's true that people shouldn't be superstitious in the modern world, but... :shock:

MrsTrucker: I don't know, I think the modern world has plenty of superstitions still in it. It's silly, and sometimes fun, but still here even though we say we don't believe it. :D

I happen to know a lot of athletes, and they're all superstitious. It's probably contagious, and I have contracted it from them.

Yeah, true. I "be hispanics," too. lol. However, in all fairness, a lot of my family are Texicans, and were in Texas before Texas was Texas, or right on the border across into Mexico. I know about the superstitions. Matter of fact, I've been wearing the same pair of socks since I applied to my first school in the beginning of October.... :shock: Naw, Just playin', but managamy....break a leg?

lol, yeah, I get it. It's not as awkward as in the thread "accepted ED. Do I need to withdraw other applications," or something like that, where one guy said, "Dude, don't be a dick. Pull out." :lol:

I know that the comment was coarse, but I couldn't help cracking up despite myself.

Congratulations, Veritas! I read your TLS....Where are you looking at going if everything else goes your way? BU and W&L are two great ones.

If veritas were an MLB pitcher, his win-loss record would make him a Cy Young candidate.

I am going to hop aboard this ship as of this evening...it feels excellent. I was admitted at a school where LSP had me at a Deny, < 5% chance.

There is hope on your longshots, don't completely give up.
