No excuses Father! I have been warned and I scored 38,500, which is nothing to rave about, but the words that I missed are so rare in my readings that I am fine with my score. |

Don't feel too subintellectual, I'm a native English speaker and I went to private schools throughout my life. I do envy others that can speak more than one language fluently; I can speak a little of different languages, but none fluently and two only enough to get by in dire situations... And once I figure out what my gifts are I'll be sure to use them to praise God. |

No, your problem is that you re disrespecting Cleveland. FYI, Cleveland is 30 miles north of Akron; the hometown of Father George; the home of Soap Box Derby; and the former Rubber Capital of the World. Here is more info: Airships, blimps, dirigibles, and zeppelins have been manufactured at the Goodyear Airdock since World War II. The Goodyear Polymer and National Polymer Innovation Centers are on the University of Akron campus which anchors the Polymer Valley and is home to the Archives of the History of American Psychology. Akron also headquartered the National Marble Tournament, Professional Bowlers Association, and Women's Professional Mud Wrestling. Home to employers such as Summa, GOJO Industries, FirstMerit Bank, and FirstEnergy, it is listed by Newsweek as one of ten Information Age high tech havens. Awarded by the National Civic League and National Arbor Day Foundation, it was named one of the world's most livable cities. The All-American Soapbox Derby, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, National Hamburger Festival, Founders Day (Alcoholics Anonymous), and Road Runner Akron Marathon are annually hosted by the city which is a venue for some events of the 2014 Gay Games. Tourist attractions include Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and Lock 3 Park where the American Marble & Toy Manufacturing Company once stood. |

Cleveland sucks. But not as bad as Akron. In increasing degree of suckage: Cincinnati->Cleveland->Columbus->Dayton->Toledo->Akron->Youngstown Athens and Yellow Springs aren't properly located in Ohio but only within the imaginations of those who pretend their addresses are there. |

Atleast Ohio got that White Castle. This year I will finally get to try it. Only two hours away from the Burgh. But ROFL at Akron, I totally remember that city in my youth. Toledo too. Ohio is PA's left armpit. |

It ain't for nothing that AA got its start proper there. Not that it has done much good, not even there. Look at where that row of suckage ranks in the US's Most Hungover Citites List: 25. Denver, Colo.
24. Portland, Ore.
23. El Paso, Texas
22. Philadelphia
21. Chicago
20. San Francisco
19. Austin, Texas
18. Columbus, Ohio
17. Boston, Mass.
16. Cincinnati
15. San Antonio
14. St. Louis
13. Providence, R.I.
12. Honolulu
11. Cleveland
10. Las Vegas
9. Springfield, Mass.
8. Worcester, Mass.
7. Toledo, Ohio
6. Akron, Ohio Sorry Dr. Bob . . .
5. Buffalo, N.Y.
4. Pittsburgh, Pa.
3. New Orleans
2. Milwaukee, Wis.
1. Omaha, Neb. http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/state/cincinnati-ranked-in-list-of-the-25-most-hungover-cities-in-america#ixzz2K9oWMLHf5 out of 25 with Akron leading . . . |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth
