<p>~berurah, very proud mom of a Blue Devil '09!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>congrats!
You are one of the sweetest posters here and I'm really happy for you and your family!</p>
<p>CONGRATS! Glad the decision is made and what a tough one it was! May your son have a happy collegiate life at Duke.</p>
<p>Berurah:
I'm glad the agony of the wait is over for you & your S. Hearty congratulations!</p>
<p>wow !!!!!!! he will be very happy there</p>
<p>Congrats. Hoo yah! I knew it. We all win vicariously now that he has chosen and is happy and you get to bask a little. Now go get that massage....</p>
<p>simba, did your son win the pool?</p>
<p>As long as he doesn't go to basketball games...</p>
<p>Congratulations, go Blue Devils!!</p>
<p>I know that this was not an easy decision considering the wealth or opportunities that S was offered. </p>
<p>Rest assured he is going to have a great experience and a great education. Now on to those sheets and how to get everything to N.C.</p>
<p>I guess it is safe to say there will be no more painting of the basketball pole for a little while:)</p>
<p>Awesome...... love those devils.....maybe the spa can use blue wax for your facial??? congratulations.....</p>
<p>Congratulations to your wonderful and talented son: may he have many happy years ahead of him at Duke!</p>
<p>I knew it. Dark horses lose again. :(</p>
<p>But hearty congrats from a Duke alum :) Make sure he doesn't spend too much time camping out before games.</p>
<p>I am amazed....actually Simba's son won. As far as I can tell he was the closest (without going over) at 5:00 PM 4/23.</p>
<p>independently audited by alumother</p>
<p>(disgruntled bettors can e-sue me in e-court with e-lawyers)</p>
<p>He will have a great education and a great college experience at Duke! Congratulations!</p>
<p>How wonderful - congratulations!!!! This is awesome! Details, please - how in the world did he choose? When did he tell you? What did he say? What did you say? </p>
<p>Oh - I think I deserve a prize, 'cause I was the FIRST player to bet Duke. So I think I should get a few e-dollars from the pool. We can settle now, so I won't hafta get an e-lawyer.</p>
<p>Berurah:</p>
<p>I always knew he would get into Duke (didn't I place a silent bet?)! What a wonderful feeling to have the decision made! Congrats to your son, you, and the rest of the family!</p>
<p>Congratulations! You've been through quite a wringer, Berurah, but now you can relax (until it's time to send him off). </p>
<p>But - rats! I thought the beach would win out (not really!).</p>
<p>Berurah, I love it when I turn on my computer in the morning and see GOOD NEWS! Wasn't Duke his first love? What a long and educational journey you all made to get back to where you all belong.</p>
<p>So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.</p>
<p>Blessings B!!</p>
<p>Have a nice time RECLINING this weekend!!</p>
<p>love SB</p>
<p>Berurah, Wow! I got the school right!!! So happy for you, and so happy your son's decision is MADE. FABULOUS!!</p>
