Is Day Planner still on at 2PM, or is it Weather Center despite that Bill and Kelly are hosting?

General Discussion / Re: The Pot Belly Stove
« on: September 01, 2008, 11:54:38 AM »I don't also understand why schools start on August. I mean August just doesn't "fit" the standard month of September when school starts. Like some schools start on Aug 7th where is too much heat and sun. It's still the middle of summer, kids need a break rather going back so early.Agreed. I can never concentrate during a heat wave.

Mine is in December, but I never have school on my birthday since it's always during holiday break.

All schools should start after Labor Day, IMO. I don't understand why there are some schools that start on August and others that start on mid-September.
Here, school always starts two days after Labor Day.

That's a relief.
Prices rose to $3.29 in Cherry Hill, while about $3.55 in Bensalem. Looks like they'll be dropping again.

« on: September 01, 2008, 11:47:08 AM »There is another high school in my area that starts school on October 7th. And they get out like at JulyAre they on strike? If not, then I don't see why they would start school that late!
The latest I've started school was on September 9 in 2002, when my school district was on strike for about a week.

I'm going to the same school from last year, but I want to move back to Bensalem. The people in my school in NJ are rude (though there are a few exceptions), and it seems that I am the only one being bothered and no one else. And the teachers do absolutely nothing to help. Plus Marlton is a boring town with not much to do.
I also heard Junior year is the most difficult year in HS.

Yeah that's what I'm probably gonna do too. Most of my stuff from last year are still in good condition. I don't see why other people get rid of their stuff and buy new things when their old supplies are still in good condition. Waste of money IMO.

Yeah they had two in 2006-2007. It looks like they are only using the one theme from that year now. I was hoping they'd use new music this season though. The music they are using on the LF doesn't match with the current storm alert/hurricane opener music at all.
