Laminate is NOT better than hardwood, if you don't get expensive undurlay it is a huge sound conductor, you will hear everyone walking around, especially dogs.
It's very popular now and every salesman will tell you its the best, it is not. Hardwood looks way better and can be sanded and refinished, laminate is garbage and if scratched can rarely be repaired.
The mark up on laminate is huge, sales people make shitloads of cash of selling it, and save money on paying the installer because it's quiker too install.
Most people could install laminate themselves, it's not hard t all.

I am guessing your mom is a Philippino nurse. They are the dumbest ones out there. HEll, some can barely even spaek teh English language, let alone think "outside the box". I work with many of them and trust me, you don't want them to be your nurses.
GO ahead, just ask your mom how many times she's fucked up in her job.
Dumbass

I try this every time I fly and it has worked twice. Most of the time someone will trade. But its worth a try

I would totally trade, are you kidding me who would turn down that leg room?

I run a painting business for College Works painting and that is bullshit. However when I estimate my costs of lets say 2.5k i'll charge about 7.5k, and book it....

If you make friends with anyone that works at a GFS Marketplace, especially if they're working the cooler or freezer, you might be in some luck. I know when I worked there, if I had a friend looking for ANYTHING you could think to find in the freezer section (Boneless skinless chicken breast, Shrimp, Frozen fruits),I would go in the freezer or cooler away from customers and usually managers, find whatever they wanted and cut the bag. After that I would take down the item code and go to the computer and void that item out of the inventory as damaged grocery. I'd take my marker and cross the bar code off the bag, and make some sort of signifier that the bag was ripped and "wrote off." Give my friend the bag and my employee discount card, and tell them to tell the cashier it's half price, and then they'll get a 5-lb bag of quality chicken breast for like $4.49. Or if you're just working cashier and your friend comes through your line, scan the items with the scanner, and then just void them on the monitor. No one will notice, and they'll be getting some good free food.

Here's some dirt from the HS teacher:
90% of all cheating that we know about doesn't get reported. If your kid is accused of cheating by their teacher, they did it. The process of bringing forth an honor violation is such a headache, we don't accuse somebody of cheating unless we are absolutely 100% sure it happened and we have the evidence to back it up. Every parent thinks their kid would never cheat... that's a good thing, you should think the world of your kids, but they make mistakes, that's what kids and people do. When you accuse or threaten me as to why I had to accuse your student, you're showing you can't accept that your kid made a mistake.
If I know a kid is a habitual cheater but can't prove it, I can make the grade reflect their true ability.
We know when a parent lies to us. Everybody tells the same story. If you tell me Johnny's late for school because he went to the Sox game last night and needed to sleep, I'm not going to think you're a bad parent or punish Johnny. I'll probably say it sounds like fun. If you tell me you had car trouble this morning, and that's why he's late, I'll know you are full of it.
The school nurse knows EVERYTHING. She knows where the party was, and who did what with who.
A teacher who touches/has sex with a student has to be mentally ill. Whatever the kid looks like, if you are an adult who spends time with a 16 year-old and you still find them attractive, you need help.
If there's a way you can afford it, enroll your kid in private school, especially if they are a C or B student. Before everybody who went to public school (like I did) starts telling me how great their life is, let me explain - A private school can fire a bad teacher (no tenure), expel students who intimidate other kids (in public school, this is a legal proceeding that requires hard evidence), and guarantee smaller class sizes. In public schools, teachers are too often forced to focus on the A and F students... the quiet B student who doesn't cause trouble slips through the cracks way too often. BTW - I've taught in both - public school teachers are great people who work their asses off, it's the system that's broken.
There are teachers who get awards (some that include cash) every year simply because they give high grades. One physics teacher I worked with gave nothing lower than a B+, it masked his utter incompetency. He got caught when some parents with engineering backgrounds reported back to their school that their kid didn't know squat about physics despite getting an A all year. Before he got caught, he had bagged a bunch of hardware that got him his next gig in a minute.
