Had a lady tell me the other day that to spice up my water each day that I should put cucumber in it for flavor. Anyone do this?

I don't understand why Art 101 is about 80% architecture, 15% statues, and 5% actual art, most of which is cave painting and early civilization paintings

Probably because the term "art" doesn't just include paintings/things someone has drawn.

I understand that and agree completely that architecture is art, but it's just odd to me than an intro to art class is mostly architecture.

Architecture is the most amount of art we have from past civilizations. Most cave paintings and things of that nature have fallen prey to time so we can't really analyze them. You can learn a lot about their art style from buildings/statues though. When we think about the old Romans do we think about their paintings and such? No, we think about the Pantheon, the Coliseum, the Ampitheatre, the Basilica, the Aqueducts, their sculpture, etc. It's also much easier to teach students in an intro class about architectural differences than it is to teach about the differences in the ideas of Expressionism, Post-Impressionism, Avant-Garde, Modernism, Neo-Impressionism, Cubism, Symbolism, etc.

My sister texted me this morning and said she saw someone get stabbed today. Said she was walking to the Doctor's office (she's in Paterson, NJ) and got lost in the projects. She said she started seeing all these strange people and was getting kid of scared because she was sure they could tell she was lost. She was using the GPS on her phone and all the street signs in the area had been removed so she had no idea where she was. Then she heard a couple of men arguing with eachother, kept walking, then heard knife sounds and turned around to see him getting stabbed to death.

She said she was almost sure she was going to die today because the stolen signs were like a trap, plus it was dark and was about to start raining. She said she was about to break down and start crying in the middle of the street but she sucked it up and got out of there somehow.

tl;dr: Women can't follow directions.

Ever had a cucumber press? A couple weekends ago my friend who bartends made me one, and it was delicious. Didn't have to pay for it either, so that made it even better.

Just curious. What do "knife sounds" sound like?

You have to wait till the page loads up. Something is making OS slow up when its loading the pages, then the buttons don't work. If the other buttons aren't working, then that's what the problem is, if they are working, then OS hates you.

OS hates me then. Like button works fine. Multi-quote works good. Quote and Quick Reply are doing the same thing.

Stopped at Qdoba to buy something to drink and they have one of those registers that automatically give you change but apparently the changer was empty. I gave the cashier 2 $1 bills and she gives me 8 quarters back So I got a free drink and 8 more quarters for laundry. Only downside was that the fountain was out of Dr Pepper so I had to settle for Coke
