The same thing happens. My kids get the whole week. Week previous is phoned in.

You're problem is believing that's what actually happened.

This could explain the average entering freshman GPA at BYU in recent years?

days before holidays are pretty worthless. Wouldn't read much into it.

That's BS.

Interesting take Ted.

Choke

Cougrrrs Roll
