Hope that helps :)<BR/><BR/>Obama '08!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-75034353879636037212008-02-07T20:37:00.000-05:002008-02-07T20:37:00.000-05:00Happy Blogiversary! Also, thanks for the comments...Happy Blogiversary! <BR/><BR/>Also, thanks for the comments on Barack Obama. I teach 10th grade English, and it AMAZES me how much even the kids who can't vote are thrilled with the idea of an election. Of course, this is my first time teaching during a presidential election, but there's no way they were this passionate about elections when their choices were Ubiquitous White Guy A and Ubiquitous White Guy B. Now, they care (and so does, apparently, most of America). Here's the perfect example: a few days ago, two students told another student to shut up about American Idol and talk about Obama vs. Clinton. This is the first time in a long time I've ever been proud of my country during election times--despite the outcome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-81785764400032407352008-02-06T13:40:00.000-05:002008-02-06T13:40:00.000-05:00Happy belated Blogiversary.And thanks for writing ...Happy belated Blogiversary.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for writing it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-85649835458839229452008-02-06T11:17:00.000-05:002008-02-06T11:17:00.000-05:00I was going to write about E-bay, but someone alre...I was going to write about E-bay, but someone already answered the question. Speaking of church, I always think of a hymn that PUMC ends with when I stand at the corner of 66th (or 65th) and Fifth.

You are willing to bid as high as $30.99 on it. <BR/><BR/>When it asks for your bid, you put in your highest bid - i.e. $30.99. <BR/><BR/>E-bay automatically puts in a bid just a little higher than the $9.79, such as $10.29. <BR/><BR/>If the first bidder has a maximum bid of $40.00, you will automatically be outbid. (Which is what happened to you!) <BR/><BR/>But, if not (and if the first bidder continues to bid against you), e-bay will continue to outbid the first bidder until your limit has been reached. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-33293501859273497282008-02-04T09:55:00.000-05:002008-02-04T09:55:00.000-05:00On the Jeopardy online test I bombed last week, I ...On the Jeopardy online test I bombed last week, I got a Jane Austen question and cursed the fates for my not being you.
