Guess who gets to get a root canal next week? Me! Just what I needed after this week

And apparently this is a deal breaker because I was interested in this guy and now my interest is zero. I don't necessarily WANT to live in Utah after I get married, but seeing as all of my family's here I don't think I could go for a guy who's absolutely opposed to the idea.

A friend of mine who goes to BYU-I posted something on Facebook that he no doubt meant as a joke but it still just rubbed me the wrong way. I hate making people feel bad when they aren't being serious so I'm posting here instead of on Facebook. This is definitely not aimed at anyone on the Board. If...

Are any of you subscribed to the OED word of the day? I signed up a few months ago and I love it. You can sign up here.

By that measure I'm in 16th grade. Wow, that sounds like a long time and I'm still an undergrad.

Squirrel, I got a Board shirt online and didn't have any problems. Just be sure to get a big enough size if you buy the women's shirt. I think I got a medium and it was pretty tight. Good thing I lost some weight so I can actually wear it now. I also love that boardboard confessions has become a thi...

It was the class where we were always trying to pull pranks on the professor like sitting in the back rows or changing the clock for the final.

Mico, we were actually in a linguistics class together last winter semester. I didn't want it to seem creepy that I knew who you were so I never said anything.

When I was your age (which is always fun to say), a non-I-E language was required (except that they also counted Slavic languages, for some reason, so I did Russian). But I took a semester of Mandarin, too. That's how it was when my sister-in-law was here. She had taken Japanese in high school but ...

I'm doing French. I really wanted to do a Non-Indo-European language but I was already halfway through a French minor by the time I chose linguistics as my major. Plus, 100 level language classes are a lot of work!

Who here has studied linguistics? Perhaps it's just because it's my major but it seems like there's quite a few linguistics peeps on the boardboard.

It's so interesting how many different factors go into lexical grouping. I get called by my sisters' names sometimes and from time to time my mom will call me by her younger sister's name if my mom has been hanging out with her recently. I usually don't get called by my brothers' names so I think it...

I totally want in on this! If there's still snow around we can rent some snowshoes for 9 dollars at outdoors unlimited.
Also I've got a car if we still need more seats.

My name has been in the top 20 since 1987; no wonder there's so many of us!

You know that feeling of falling that wakes you up sometimes? Last night I woke to the sensation that I was slipping on ice, just goes to show how bad it is!

Art Vandelay keeps dropping hints that he's single: http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/70620/ & http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/70604/
Do you think perhaps he wants someone to ask for a dating application?

After reading this story I'm not feeling so charitable towards apple either. http://www.silveroakcasino.com/blog/ent ... inger.html

I've never been geohashing but I did stumble across a geocache site while snow shoeing a few weeks ago. It was exciting to find even though we weren't looking for it.

I celebrated Chinese New Year with some friends last year and we lit these things http://www.flyingwishpaper.com/. I don't know if they're Chinese but it's still tons of fun to watch people freak out as the fire gets close to their hand.

I must be lame too because I use that joke all the time, or at least I would if I weren't worried about offending my more conservative friends.
