YYeeaahhh, no girl is "fine" with getting nothing on her B-Day. I once made the mistake of giving my wife $150 in a card for her BDay when we were dating. I thought it was mighty generous of me. . she thought otherwise. needless to say. I still hear about that one.

lol! i would rather have gotten a 50 dollar gift.

I gave my wife a $9 mini bingo cage from who knows where for her BD... needless to say - there was grief in the air.

If your eventual goal is to get in Federal law enforcement, spend some time now until your have the other qualifications to learn a foreign language. I cant stress enough how much that will help you when you apply for Federal jobs how much that will make you stand out among the other people applying. If you are good with languages, try to learn Mandarin or Cantonese. The feds cannot find enough people willing to work in law enforcement and speak chinese.

I have a few friends in law enforcement,the biggest thing right now for languages is Arabic due to domestic terrorism and such. Thanks to my friend rosetta stone though,it makes learning a whole lot easier.

Well I continued to get sex and she was never bitchy about it. Of course I took her out to dinner for her bday, but my unit was still there and being used haha.

Foolin, I plan on staying where I'm at now until I can get the funds to take the police academy at DCCC at night for a year. It will help me big time having a college education when I go to find a job. A friend of mine said it doesn't matter what kind of college education, it's a huge advantage.

reading it is so much easier then speaking it,especially because of pronunciations.
like kitsune instead of sounding "Kit soon" its "keats ne"
