<p>See, happened again. I'm gonna hit the box-o'-wine (purely for it's anti-freeze properties) and check back in later. Z! Get up before you get a wicked rack(rug) burn! Nothing quite so attractive as lovely herringbone indentations on cheeks. Take care.</p>

<p>The grain of wood on the underside of this desk has such a lovely swirl pattern to it. It goes so well when contrasted against the popcorn ceiling.....</p>
<p>momof1- I picked up only the last dozen posts or so on this thread before I stuck my two cents in. I didn't realize the 150 thing was even previously mentioned....(and I still haven't looked back for it, and probably wont...only so much idle time in one day). Cheers...:)</p>
<p>and...I definitely can't type or think as fast as Z-man ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That's right!</p>

<p>Don't you forget it!</p>
<p>Now....... What were you saying?</p>
<p>Thank you Momof1.<br>
and since I don't know what Dos Equis Amber is, I'll take chocolate. And finally as Dad2B ( I think) said, we will keep knocking at the USNA admissions door as he moves toward his decision.</p>
<p>cc3071a -- you're obviously a good sport -- to take in all the ramblings of this crazy but lovable board! Dos Equis is a nice Mexican beer -- one of the many similar such substances that Zaphod enjoys when not battling Confused23!!</p>

<p>Bass Pale Ale! Yum, yum!!!!! :D</p>
<p>"Battling"? Did you say, "Battling"?</p>
<p>More like "Spanking".</p>

<p>cc3071a - I am perplexed by your response as to the USNA admissions decision. Without a nomonation, hasn't the door been closed??????</p>
<p>One would think that, but my son's close friend, currently a third year at Annapolis was appointed without a nomination. I am not sure the details, perhaps they pulled a nomination from another state. I did find this info on Cornell's Law school website which explains the nomination breakdown. And another poster was correct, there is a percentage that can be appointed without. </p>
<p>And thanks for all the info on WestPoint's engineering programs, certainly not a decision makers but it is good to have clarification.</p>
<p>If the Academy wants you, they'll find you an appointment somewhere. There are ways to flex the rules.</p>
<p>Bass Pale Ale! Yum, yum!!!!! </p>
<p>"Battling"? Did you say, "Battling"?</p>

<p>What was that Churchill said about the Naval Academy (actually it was the royal navy)? Do we think Zaph is taking it seriously?</p>
<p>Be silent, knave!</p>
