AS it stands right now, Liron's parents are unwilling to take both cars/drive separate cars, so we're in a little bit of a pickle with that. Though Ammar tells me Paul and Sean are driving up and back from STL?

Things that don't suck about getting an appendix out:
1. That person is no longer carrying around a useless sack of flesh. Unless, of course, they are themselves a useless sack of flesh, in which case no amount of -ectomy will help them.
That's really all I can think of.

No, that's not what hose means.

For example, at Marshall in 2007 there was a question that began ...
