Hola Senor Michael!

->  HN> $30/day?? Wow! That's a lot of $$ ! $210/week, $840/month! 
->  HN> Now THAT's a wine budget!!
-> 
-> Certainly is. I wondered if they pulled out the stops for me,
-> but in fact, they regularly drink a bottle to a bottle and half
-> of decent wine a day per person. Lately, I admit, they've been
-> drinking Beringer Pinot Grigio at 1/3 the price of their usual
-> hooch, but they're drinking more of it.
-> 
I probably spend less than the monthly bill on my yearly 
supply of wine, beer ,and scotch!  (and I drink $100 bottles
of scotch)! I'd really enjoy a glass of wine a day, but a bottle
is way too much for me!

->  HN> In high school I was a slacker...just did enough to stay
->  HN> off the radar and not a bit more. But in College it was
->  HN> a totally different story ( and in all my navy schools
->  HN> as well), had a cumulative 3.94 for both my BS's
-> 
-> My pattern was the opposite. I worked like a dog in high
-> school - made high honors every quarter but one, during which
-> the English teacher whose class I'd rotated in to gave me an 80.
-> In the hated physics, I once pulled a 75, but everything else
-> was close to 100, so I was okay. In college I did what I felt
-> like, and if I'd been a music performance major (which I could
-> not do at the school I attended, Harvard, as there wasn't such
-> a thing), I'd have made high honors, but instead I did what I
-> pleased and took the courses I wanted and studied when I wanted,
-> so I just squeaked by with honors; my thesis, done in crash
-> mode in about a week, was said to have been pretty good, so I
-> ended up with high honors on my diploma anyway, despite the
-> fact that for 13 plus quarters I didn't perform to that
-> standard (I did do an all A semester in sophomore year).
-> 
I was "pulling my own freight" when I was in College, and 
had 6 years of living on my own as well. I was making a 
purchase and I wanted to get what I paid for. If I had gone 
right out of highschool and had my parents paying for it, I 
would certainly not have placed much value on being there.

->  HN> she's very single minded, and once she's "on track"
->  HN> she isn't interested in the things that aren't on that
->  HN> track. 
->  
-> I did note a certain stubborn streak. Is she a taurus, like me?
-> 
Nope she's a virgo, but she does have a good solid stubborn 
streak, and so do I and I'm an aries.
chat with you soon!
