Pens, for the most important exams of my life thus far.
These ones are the lightest I have found so far, which means I can write faster, and if I can manage to add a couple of good sentences to the large amount of essays I will be doing, it might mean one extra mark in each. And since I'm competing with over 70000 others a few extra marks can make a massive difference in how I do what I want to do for the rest of my life.

But no, I'm not stressing at all....... :eek:

An extra sentence at the end won't make a difference. But if they let you write more legibly, that might...

Oh but it could.... They might be deliberating between say, for example, a 13/15 or 14/15 and with a couple of extra sentences to make your conclusion strong they might decide to opt for the higher mark...
Where 1 mark can make an immense difference, I think every bit counts.

LOL. The pen won't get you extra marks in your high school exam. :p

If anything, you should have got yourself a 4-colour pen, like one of the BIC ones. ;)

If you only have ONE gallon of gas in your car at a time, then you're probably not getting 40mpg. Automobiles get the MOST mpg when the gas tank is above half-way full. When it drops below half-full, mpg goes down.

Where do you get that logic? Less gas = less weight = less load on engine overall = more mpg. Fuel level in the tank can in no way affect the motor to the point it gets worse mpg.

That stuff works amazingly!

Yeah, it does - but the side affects aren't good.

To the person who asked about what's wrong - I've got a compression fracture in lower back. I'm not allowed to do anything at all, no bending, and no exercise. Just reading on the net about it scared the hell out of me. :eek: So I've got a long recovery process. Pain is not so bad today - I'm sitting down at the computer with a pillow placed against the back of my chair, that's comfortable - and I'm leaning forward a bit. I will need physio-therapy when it has recovered - and they'll work out what I need to do to get everything back to normal again.

My last purchases were:

- Porous tape
- Gauze pads for bandaging knee
- Navdata 1110 for my FSX Boeing planes.

I had to get the latest FMC nav-data from Navigraph for my Boeing planes in MS FSX (MD-11, B747-400 and B747-8i, B737-800 and 900) - they were flashing up a warning that nav-data was out of date. Some credits used up on my navigraph account.

But he's a 32 year old teacher, from Detroit. ;) :eek:

Teachers have lives outside of their jobs too! ;)

Two pairs of these 4/5 cropped pants. Normally, when I ride my bike, I'll roll up my right pant-leg so that grease from the chain doesn't get all over them. Now I don't need to!! Spring is here (in Australia), summer is coming in a few months, and these pants are going to look good AND be useful. :) Bought both navy and beige/khaki.


Also bought a new backpack. I wanted something that looked good AND was a good size for an everyday bag. It's ~25 litres, so it'll be a great complement to my little Osprey Raptor 14L cycling backpack, as well as my regular "man-bag".
