Seriously, they do! :D
Hey Jack, you are on summer break now aren't you? I hope you will have some time for R&R! And I'm so glad you still have cute Code cat in your avatar! He's so cute! :-*

Well I am on summer break from two jobs, but my *favorite* (yeah right) one continues on through the summer. I am hoping, keeping my fingers crossed, that this may be my last summer working here. Well that could happen too if I get laid off because of the economy, but what I am talking about is the economy getting better and one of my part time jobs becoming full time. There is also the possibility of getting enough classes from enough schools that I could end up making more money than I am making now. I started working for the state while I was in college so I found out that I can actually get early retirement. That means reduced benefits, but you continue to get full health insurance, etc. I think I could get 75% right now, but I have to check for sure. And then if you end up getting a full time job with the state again you can then continue towards the full retirement benefits. So with more classes plus reduced benefits I could end up coming out better. Something to keep in mind anyway.
I thank you and Code thanks you. He is a cute and handsome cat for sure. Did you hear about him catching a mouse :)
Oh by the way, have you ever heard of Indiana Beach? Is that near you?

Sure I've heard of Indiana Beach! :D
It's in Monticello on Lake Shafer. It was always a smaller amusment park, but they really been adding to it over the past few years. We also have Holiday World in Santa Claus, down by Evansville.
Indiana Beach is about a two hour drive north of here - roughly half way between Indianapolis and Chicago. :)

Well I had a job interview at IUPUI today. For some reason I was thinking it was this afternoon, but when I checked last night I found out it was scheduled for this morning. It's a good thing I checked! :P
Then I went to the doctor because my knee has been hurting me something terrible. He ran a couple of tests and gave me a cortisone shot under my knee cap. I've had those cortisone shots in my back before, lots of times, but never under my knee cap. That kind of hurt. >:(
Hopefully it will begin to feel better in the next day or two. He said I may have some water build up in there and that's why it is hurting. If the cortisone doesn't help he may try to drain it. UGH!! Let's hope the shot works.

WOW!!!! It's an amusement park. I love amusement parks!!! I didn't realize Chicago was that close to Indiana and to Indianapolis. What is Holiday World? I have heard of the town named Santa Claus.
David In Indy:
Holiday World is an amusement park. It's much larger than Indiana Beach, especially when you add in the water park next door to it - Splashin' Safari. Both parks are owned by the same people and you can go back and forth between the two of them - or at least you could the last time I was there...

But as far as amusement parks are concerned, most people around here head to King's Island. It's located near Cincinnati, about a 2 hour drive from Indy. It's by far the biggest and the best amusement park in my little neck of the woods. :)
