We need a BE "Sin Bin" where the transgressors must sit for their alloted time. With a tattoo on their forehead.

"Worlds Biggest Shoe Store"
The question is ...does it have the most shoes or just the one very big shoe?
Forgot the camera sadly.

Re: Homesickness "grass is greener" syndrome
The college has just got a new president and he spoke at this candle lighting ceremony and ....he's British! He's lived in the US a while but is originally from Manchester! It seemed so weird.
His first words were.."Hasn't this been a helluva day" and when the whole thing was over so many parents were muttering about him using "cuss" words.
I was horrified as I had spent the whole day lugging her stuff up 5 flights of steps in the sweltering heat and I was using much worse than that
(quietly, I hasten to add)

She's a freshman at Edinboro, which is just 2 hours away..straight up I-79.

Didi you know that before you packed all of her gear? If it were me, there would have been a pile of "you really don't need this" stuff at the bottom similar to the pioneers throwing out all their heavy furniture along the Oregon trail!
Did you meet her roomate(s)? I'm guessing she's in a dorm...
