OMG Miss South Carolina's answer almost makes sense..... people in the US can't locate the United States on a map because they don't have maps. She should have stopped there

You know, if they asked me that question -- why can't one-fifth of Americans find the US on a world map -- I would have said it was because they were stupid.

LOL, me too

If you asked Wae-Ling to find the US on a world map, she could not only find it, but she would point out Arizona, too.

We decided to go out to the diner across the road since none of us had eaten - While Vixter and I were turning into the diner her phone started vibrating (fortunately she had turned it onto silent at the theatre instead of off) it was Vixdad - the wagon wouldn't start his jumper cables were in his car at the mechanic's and I suddenly had no cables in my van so off we went home were we fortunately had a spare set of cables and back to the shopping center and got the wagon going again.

Vixdad's car has self extinguishing headlamps - he has not needed to turn his headlamps off in 5 years -- unfortunately the station wagon does not posses that helpful feature. A night on the battery charger and the wagon was good to go again

I blame GPS, you don't have to read a map anymore.

Laura · « **Reply #248 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:49:03 PM »

Who did they find for that poll, anyway? Four-year-olds?

and THAT is why I was E &T since the power came back

I have those, Vixmom. Luckily I have remembered to turn off the lights when I use my DH's car.

I can't imagine a classroom without a map! In second or third grade we learned the states the capitol and where it was. As I recall I already knew most of them. Of course there are a lot of people from both coasts who still can't identify all the states in between the coasts.

It is capitol or capital....I get those mixed up

Monday Vixdad surprised me with my birthday present- he got me a color Nook with the credit card points he had been saving up

I was pleased to see that there were a lot of free books available and I have started my library with these freebies

Congrats! I've actually just ordered a Kindle with the points from my debit card...they're going to start to expire in November, so I had to order something.

My order is "Awaiting Shipment. Order is currently awaiting shipment. Please check back within 3 business days for more detailed shipping and tracking information."

It's been "Awaiting Shipment" for several days, now. I've been checking back within 3 business days for several days now.

Sunday was crazy busy =

first church

then we took our elderly passenger out to Panera for a meal

then I had to go buy a dress for wedding because I am either too fat or too thin for all the nice dresses I own

(lucked out there- I had a $10 off coupon for Dress Barn and found a great dress I can wear again and after the coupon it cost me only $40 )

then I had to go get beautified at the hair salon and the nail salon

then home, showered dressed, collected Vixdad and drove an hour to the wedding

which was very nice

and that was Sunday gone

All on the same day as the wedding, incredible!!

oh and the good news end of the Saturday story we got towed home in time for me to get in my car and get the Vixter and her friend from the fair so they weren't stranded miles from home at midnight

Of course that was the best news of all.
