Earn chips for typing!

[taylovesthebeatles]

I just wanted to reiterate what an awesome chip system I think we have here at NDN- and earn a little sympathy as well, haha. I'm working on a couple papers for graduate school right now, and oh how I wish it worked like this forum does, where I could earn chips and money just for typing papers! One of them is currently 10 pages long, and the other is supposed to be at least 20- think of how much money I could earn! Don't worry, NDN, I won't post the papers here and spam the forums in an attempt to earn some! But thanks again for offering your members this wonderful bonus for free!

(And sorry if this is in an inappropriate section for the topic, I wasn't sure if I should put it in here or General, given that it's not just me whining about homework that I'm not doing at the moment!)

eejit, what happened to your eejit knows everything section? When I see the Sutter Buttes out my front door, I sometimes wonder how you really knew the smallest mountain range in the world. You must have googled that question?

Nah, i know some weird stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And wow, that was YEARS ago.

Feel free to test me in some way if you get bored though.

Cool! Right now I am off to school but I will have to come up with a very good one.

And yes it was years ago, My how time flies when you are having fun! Let me tell you time flies after you turn 21 even faster. :0

Hmm, being 24 now the time for that was long ago!

Oh yes eejit that was 3 very long years ago for you. lol I remember when I was 24 wow! I had my second daughter when I was 24. Guess how old she is now. When you are 30 you may or may not be hating it... (I am assuming that aging seems to be tougher for women to accept than for men?) But I am really not sure about that) .... But remembering seems like just yesterday you were 24 and then you will be 35, now 30 didn't look so bad and when you are 40 you will wish you were crying about being 30 again. After 40 is yet to come for me but it is smacking me in the face and OUCH! I am not accepting it gracefully that is for sure. Any way my point is that once we turn 21 the years fly by and where the time goes is a mystery at least to me. If we are still around NDN in say 20 years we'll talk about this again and see what you think. I would really enjoy that.

How many chips would I get for this, NDN?

Thanks a bunch, man. I still haven't gotten a chance to have that coffee yet, though. Maybe later today I'll reward myself. I still have to edit the paper before turning it in (this was a draft, albeit a really solid one). I'll try to be at the tourney tonight, don't know for sure that I'll be able to, though. Thanks again!

Any chance when quoting we can actually leave it as quotes? Is 222 chips really worth changing the color and removing the tags

I got a kick out the way Taylor worded "Earn Chips For Typing".

I have said for years and still say that the most productive class I ever took in high school was typing, when I was in the ninth grade. I once read an interview with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola where he said the same thing; it made me not feel so alone (even if he hasn't made a good film in ages). I also want to wish Taylor the best of luck in graduate school. Been there, done that. Be happy you have a computer for your papers; back in the old Smith Corona days, revisions were a pain in the ***.
