I know - I saw it 🙂

And it is very well written - I hope you got a T on your writing sample!

I didn't mind having the discussion we were having, but it's hard for me to keep part in a thread with the way some of the other posters were going. Better I give it up than get an infraction 😉

I think my WS score dropped before I have horrendous hand writing--no joke. I'd sometimes get complaints from my english comp professors. Add that on top of the fact I haven't written in ink for 3+ years, not a pretty combo. Thankfully the new CBT allows you to type the WS. I would've gone up in score if that was the case imo since the readers only spend 1 minute per essay. They read quickly...

I got a P and I have no idea how. I wrote about the most polarizing topics so I guess I got 2 readers on my side of the spectrum.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Woonsocket mother and her boyfriend are headed to trial on charges they had intercourse in front of the woman's 9-year-old daughter as a way to teach the girl about sex.

Rebecca Arnold, of Woonsocket, and her boyfriend, David Prata, have pleaded not guilty to felony child-neglect charges. A pre-trial conference is scheduled for next month.

When questioned by an investigator from the state Department of Children, Youth and Families, Prata, 33, said he and Arnold, 36, had sex "all the time" in front of the child and that "we don't believe in hiding anything."

He said the girl would often be on the bed watching as the couple had sex. Though they did not ask her to leave, they also did not force her to remain on the bed, Prata said.

Asked why he thought a child that age should know about sexual acts, Prata replied, "We wanted to prepare her so she would know how," according to a report from the investigator, Vanessa E. Cisela.

The girl, who is now 11, went to live with her biological father in North Adams, Mass., after spending the summer with her mother in Woonsocket.

Her teacher called the Child Abuse Hotline in December 2004 to report that the girl said her mother and her boyfriend had sex in front of her.

The child told a Massachusetts social services investigator that her mother and Prata never touched her or tried to include her in the sex.

Woonsocket police arrested Prata and Arnold in February 2005. The couple is accused of "providing an environment that is lewd and depraved in a manner that makes their home unfit for the child to live in," according to court records.

Prata and Arnold are free on bail pending a March 19 pretrial conference in Family Court. They each face one to three years in prison or a maximum $1,000 fine, or both.

Their lawyers did not return phone calls from The Providence Journal.

I honestly think my handwriting helped out my writing sample score. That and taking some liberties with the platforms of two MO senate candidates......

Hey! Yeah I've been watching tons of the Daytana 500 stuff. Montoya does look very good this year. So does Carl Edwards. 😀 👍

I saw Pan's Labrynth today... it was really good but really violent. 😱

Funny thing was that I was looking forward to seeing a foreign movie where I wouldn't have to read the subtitles constantly (it's in Spanish) but then they had to bust out with the bizarre Spanish accents... I got used to it after awhile and I understood about 50% without reading the subtitles but still :wow:

I saw it this weekend too, but didn't like it. I thought the violence was a bit over the top

But yeah, I'm with you on the accents. It's Spain Spanish. To me, the lisp sounds so strange.

Whoa. 2 things:

1. The smell of lavender helps knock me out to sleep.

2. I have confirmed it is the Tempurpedic bed giving me hives. I took a 1.5 hour nap on it (just to test it) and woke up with hives forming on my back where I was laying. Still not sure if it's the pressure or the actual mattress that's causing it, but at least I know what to avoid now.

I want to buy a sectional couch for my family room.

Unfortunately we don't have enough extra money lying around. 🙁 Some one PLEASE tell me to step away from the credit card.
