what was the lab experiment?
stratdewd
11:57:53 PM

Nothing interesting. I missed the lab day when we got to pick our topic, so I got stuck with a boring one about Door-in-the-Face Technique... whereby you ask a large request out of someone knowing that they'll immediately shoot it down... then you follow up with a smaller request (the one you were aiming at compliance with) and see if they'll accept it. We were measuring the role of guilt played in this technique.

Now if you understood any of what was just written, pat yourself on the back : )

Why didn't you tell me someone from Ohio was coming? If I could have road with someone and paid half gas I would have came! I just didn't want to drive 7 hours myself. Can you still call him and get a hold of him?

I have class from 9-10am and 2-4pm and I have to go, it's midterms week so I can't skip either class. So I could easily be home and ready to go by 4:30...don't know when that dude was planning on leaving.

He's not leaving til tomorrow. His email address is:

His name is Phillip and he's our age... don't know what part of Ohio he's from though.

Yeah, I met that guy on bp.com and told him to check out the Ohio Backpacking Yahoo! group as no one on bp.com actually backpacks. I also told him to check out this site.

I just emailed him so hopefully I can catch a ride. I can have my pack packed and be ready to go in 30 minutes...but I need to know if he wants to carpool (and wait til 4 for me) in the morning so I can take my dog to a kennel or friends house.

My roommate that has totaled 3 cars...just totaled his camaro like 3 weeks ago because he was talking on a cell phone and driving. His parents bought him a new cavalier and he put a DVD player in it...genius.

Well hope you can come. It'd be good to hike with you again. Bring lots of alcohol, screw the diet for this weekend.

I don't get out of class until 4pm and I can't skip it because it's mid terms week. So if he waits until 4pm for me to come home and will carpool I'll be there.

I always say screw the diet when I'm backpacking. You burn 400-700 calories an hour and only eat 2000-3000 a day so it's aight. Eat what I want and walk it off. I'll get alcohol after my 10am class if he calls me and says I can ride with him. #&%!$, now I'm excited. I was gonna go home and visit the folks now I'm going backpacking. I might have to cancel trail days and go home...but then again, I could just go home the weekend after trail days. Parents will be pissed for making them wait.

As patriotic as I am...and I loved Chevy's for the longest time...but they just don't compete with the imports for quality and price. My Oldsmobile was always in the shop, always. My Hyundai has 81K and has NEVER been in the shop. It's on its third set of tires and original set of brakes. When American car manufacturers can give me the same for a good price, and a 100K warranty, I'll buy American once again.

Nope Scorch, they are not backpackers and they get mad when I go backpacking now as I don't have a job and they pay for my gas. I'm only allowed one trip a month unless I can get gas money elsewhere (eBay) or carpool. I can't spend $60 on gas this weekend and then $60 for trail days. I told Smitty I'd bring all the food and carry the stove if he drove...so that would take care of the gas problem.

nah i got enough opps for a 3-way this weekend...lol hahahaha..im a funny guy...that trip actually fell through kinda...going to go home to go 4-wheeling and maybe go there....supposed to rain pretty good in ATLANTA ...SO WATCH OUT ALL YOU PEOPLE GOING TO NC FOR THAT TRIP...


and by the way whenever you are having your car repaired just remember that every car that comes through the shop door is considered a piece of sh1t by every employee there...no offense...it just isnt worht trying to figure out what youre painting....you jsut get the codes and go..im way off track here

I drive a 4-door toyota truck aand i got 50K on it with not even half the tread gone on the originaly tires...you need to step up and get some good michelins....seriously worth every penny...i put a set of four on my maxima and kept the same ones for about 80-90K miles over 2 years...
