If I knew I was falling behind, I'd take a withdrawal and make up for it over the summer. To each their own devices on how they handle getting in over their head.

I've been in over my head since I was born. :laugh: I just blame my bad grammar and spelling on old age . . . and the fact I'm a good ole boy from Kentucky . . . most people, when they find that out think; "Yup, that pretty much explains it."

UglyElmo, what part of Kentucky are you from? Still there? We might be neighbors!
