My facebook friend count has dropped from 488 to 485 in the last 2 to 3 weeks. Makes me suspicious of who is deactivating their account(s). I hate it when my friends do that.  :thumbdown: :angry:
Facebook must have issues when it comes to searching for friends. When I make a search for someone on Facebook their profile doesn't show up.. couple days later it does... then a few days after that it doesn't. :wacko:

I get suspicious when I get on facebook and see that my friend count is down from where it was the previous time I was on it.  :fear: I don't like it when my friends deactivate their account(s).
There is a cool little chrome extension (probably one for firefox too) that checks and lets you know when a friend vanishes on Facebook.

Interesting, do you know the name of it? and does it tell you who is missing as well, because I can't seem to find it..

For those of you who have to do taxes this year, the deadline is next Monday on the 18th due to a DC holiday called Emancipation Day on the 15th!

 :hmm: Chautauqua County, KS has been under a tornado warning for about half an hour now and TWC has made no mention of them, even though they have mentioned the other two counties included in the same warning. 
Update:  Chautauqua Co. has been issued it's own separate warning and they still havn't made any mention.  Do they not know how to pronounce it?

My spring breaks during undergraduate years were in March like yours, but they were in April like Ana's during my graduate school years.  The schedules can vary a lot between colleges.

Random fact: Good Friday and Earth Day are on the same day this year.

Yes I know...that was random. :P

I have school on Monday (I know, very silly idea on my school's part), then I have off from Tuesday until next Monday. I'm willing to bet that my school will be more than half empty on monday :P

My spring break begins at the end of the day Thursday April 21, and runs all the way through Sunday, May 1.

That's just asking for a "skip day" right there.  I don't like it either, but I've seen some professors take advantage of those kinds of days when they occurred on the college schedule.  I even earned a few extra credit points as a result by still showing up to class.

It's almost like the two days (Mon/Tues) before Thanksgiving break (Wed - Fri). I'm sure some people skip Monday and Tuesday; some schools even give the whole week off now.
