Of course, I could always get a new scanner and learn how to use it and put in an avatar for myself, but that would be a little TOO logical.

Mallomars were first introduced to the public in 1913,

A circle of Graham cracker is covered with a puff of marshmallow, then covered in a hard shell of pure dark chocolate.

Mallomars are not available in the summer months as they melt easily in the warm temperatures, so says Nabisco. I remember having them all year round as a child. They were my father’s favorite cookie.

I wonder if they are similar to pinwheels? They are a marshmallow cookie they serve up here.

A Appeal From: The Vixter

Please help me to raise money to help sick kids in St. Jude's Hospital. I am going to complete 250 math problems ( I hate math!) I am asking people to sponsor me. You can pledge to pay a certain amount for each problem, 10 cents a problem would be $25.00 (see I'm doing math already!!) or you could just pledge a "flat amount" of any amount you choose. You can even pledge online!! If you prefer, you can pay by check payable to St Jude's Childrens Hospital. If you call my Mom she'll even come and pick the check up! I really hate doing math problems but I figure it's still easier than what those sick kids have to deal with in the hospital. If I can help them get better sooner and help them go home to their families then its worth doing math. Thanks for reading this and thanks for helping me to help others. Love, VickyIf any one is ineterested please let me know and I can email you the direct link to her donation page . Thanks!

Your daughter is amazing, I wonder how she got that way!

Can you please send me a link to her page?

I hope I can sneek in for a peek at you! I dare say there will be a parade or two in your honor. I expect your dance card is already quite full!

Congratulatory vibes to the vixter!

Vixmom and vixter - I'll be in a crappy "budget" seat at Lestat on Sunday, but hope we'll hook up either at intermission or after the show. Look for Ron's avatar, only enhanced with 60 extra pounds and 15 extra years. I'll try to remember to bring along the passport with that photo so you can vouch for the fact that my "separated at birth" theory about Ron and me isn't a delusion of grandeur.

We got a discount in the email so we lucked out with orchestra seats... waaaaaaaaay over on the side but pretty close up I look like my avatar only older, fatter and with glasses!! I'll bring my camera to capture the moment!!

Hey Rodz, how did Tpunk's AIDS Walk go?

AIDS Walk was great, thanks in part to many of the folks on this board. The weather was perfect, the rain held off until the afternoon when most of the festivities had already come to a close. So far close to 7 million dollars were raised, and I expect that the number will go up from there.

No pinwheels are much larger than a mallomar. The bottom of a mallormar is abouthe size of a Chip Ahou, put a marshmallow on top and drop the whole thing in chocolate. Pinwheels if I recall my childhood correctly have a marshmallow center and graham cracker shaped like a flower top and bottom and then dropped into chocolate.

Anyone herw still wondering why I am fatter than my avatar?

They can't even hold out until the Tony Awards? I know it only got two nominations, but you never know.

I think that since the show won't have the chance to perform a musical number (because only noms for best new show and revival get to perform) the producers figure tv audiences won't get to hear/see enough about it to drive sales.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #316 on:** May 23, 2006, 09:31:13 PM »

TPunk, I am glad to hear that the AIDS walk went well.

Congratulations TPunk. Will the DVD of your performace (I assume you did take DtM's advice) be on sale soon?

Unfortunately I did not use graduation as an opportunity to launch my broadway career. I'm just please that they pronounced my name correctly and that I did not trip when accepting my diploma.

Wow you collected 7 million in donations?!! You ARE good!!!

I am very proud of you for doing that walk and I am so glad the weather held out for you. We had a few cloudbursts accompanied by lightning on Sunday her on the Island of Long and I was concerned you wer e getting caught in it

Some good news (well for our family at least)

At the spring concert tonight it was announce that the Vixter was this year's winner of the Music Association Scholarship, seven weeks here www.usdan.com

We had no clue that she had been selected, in fact we have never heard of a singer being selected, it is usually a band or orchestra student.

She was so shocked that she just stood there in her place with the chorus until the girls around her said." That's YOU!! Go up accept it!!!" and pushed her forward, Vixdad and I sat there with our mouths hanging open while everyone around us slapped us on the backs and congratulated us.

We're so proud!

Congratulations to the Vixter!

Foolishly, Rodz and I left the digital camera at home. My mom took plenty of pictures on her disposable camera which she promises to have developed and put onto a disk as soon as she returns home tomorrow. We did take some pictures with the digi cam as soon as we got home tonight, but everyone is asleep now so I'll wait until tomorrow to download and post.

TPunk · « **Reply #326 on:** May 23, 2006, 09:42:23 PM »

The ceremony wasn't too long, about 2 hours and 20 minutes. The longest parts were the keynote speaker (she just lost us about half way through) and the reading of the names. We are the largest graduate school of social work in the nation (I'm 99% sure of this) and there were over 500 graduates tonight. Luckily I was close to the top of the list alphabetically so I collected my diploma pretty quickly and then just sat back and relaxed.

TPunk · « **Reply #327 on:** May 23, 2006, 09:43:48 PM »

After the ceremony, once I finally found my family, we quickly turned in my cap and gown and went off to dinner- we were all starving. We had italian food at a restaurant I frequented this past semester after tuesday classes. It seemed like a fitting end to my academic experience.

TPunk · « **Reply #328 on:** May 23, 2006, 09:44:39 PM »

Thank you again to everyone for all of your support and good wishes this past year. This board has been a tremendous source of support and fun escape as I have navigated my final year of graduate school.

TPunk · « **Reply #329 on:** May 23, 2006, 09:45:04 PM »

And on that note, I wish you all a good night.
