WAY to GO Sammy Sue!!!!!

Just wanted to publicly celebrate my daughters accomplishments. I know just about every parent thinks their kids are the best and I am no exception. College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota...Approximately 15,000 applicants, 1008 were chosen, and she was one of them. All of 1008 kids are special with these kind of stats:

Average entering GPA for the 1008 students was 3.9 (highest ever in the history of the UofM)
Average ACT score 31.5 (highest ever in the history of the UofM)

Thank the lord above she got her mothers good looks AND her intelligence!

Way to go!


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Tell her we all said congrats.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Thank you guys!!! I will definitely show her this post.

She did correct me late last night. "Dad it wasn't 42,000 (total admissions for all colleges inside of the UofM)it was only 15,000 for the college of science and engineering." ONLY...I laughed!

Congratulations, Sammy Sue!!!

(no doubt she was well raised, mnfish!)


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
