Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I am going up to Hanover, NH to attend the graduation ceremonies at Dartmouth College, from which my daughter Amanda will be graduating. It wasn't easy. She had to work during school and her off terms, while some of her friends (some of whom I met) were the daughters of actual billionaires. At one point, my lovely wife was waiting tables in a restaurant in order to help us pay. I choose not to post the things I have had to endure and see at work to make this come about, but you know what....it was all worth it! She is taking a year off from school. She already has a job in NYC doing some sort of interpretation. It makes sense, because she can speak Russian, Spanish, Sign Language and she took some French.....at Dartmouth. 705343[/snapback] Four languages...big deal. What's her 40 time?

IBTG81 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 i would have asked for her phone number, but i highly doubt either of us wants to spend future family holidays arguing about the Bills offensive line issues .
