Southwest STINKS!!! $172 one way from Orlando to Albany and they moved the non-stop flight from 1:30 to 5! I am SO NOT HAPPY!!!!!
Sorry Lorri!!!!

Yes, I think if it is a school sponsored sport they will look the other way, but not otherwise. A girl from Lisa's Gymnastic Team qualified 4th in the Nation two years ago. She was awarded a week at the Olympic Training Facility with top coach's from around the country (I think they took the top 5 or 6 Junior Girls and Senior Girls from Level 10 Nationals). They whole trip was paid for by USAG for her and her Coach. Her High School would not excuse her. Because Florida schools were starting so early in August (late July), the camp interfered with school. She ended up going for the weekend of the week she had been awarded, but then had to return home. It was very sad for her. She has since developed health issues and can no longer compete. It is too bad this once in a lifetime opportunity was taken from her.
Sharon, that was horrible. I think it makes it worse that now she can't compete at all.

Lovebugs are annoying, but I'll take 'em over fire ants any day.
I pretty much never wear shoes, so I spent the 3 years we lived in FL covered in fire ant bites.
I got bites from them one year in Florida. I learned real quick to stay off the grass.
