Assignment extensions are always a good thing, Davetello. Nice to hear.

Thanks. I submitted it almost twenty four hours ago. Will see how I get on. I had to analyse a primary source rather than write a traditional essay.

Hope you get a good grade on it, Dave.

Thanks Shell. I'm not always great at assessing my own work. I think I've done okay but I'm worried I have repeated myself in places. Still, this was only a 1,000 word assignment so difficult to work within those constraints. I'm looking forward to the more regular 2,000 word "compare and contrast" essays.

I bet you did better than you think. We're often our own worst critics, or at least I am when it comes to assignments. lol Okay, and most everything else. I'm not hard on anyone else though, if that makes sense. Just myself.

I'm the same. We do indeed hold ourselves to the highest standards, we are our own worst critics as you say.

I replied to your PM by the way. Not sure if you got it. I think the PM system is temperamental and sometimes PMs don't go through properly.

Don't sweat it, Dave - you're a smart guy and I'm sure you'll do well.

Thanks. I'm not that bothered anyway - I already have my first class degree and this course is for the learning/enjoyment. The first assignment is only worth 10% of the non-examinable component anyway. I will let you know how I score.

What makes me happy right now- hubby made chocolate chip cookies and hot cocoa!! They are the pre-cut store-bought kind, that you just heat in the oven, but still.... Yum. Nothing better than cookies and hot cocoa on a cold night. Unless it would have been hot apple cider. That's also awesome.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 11-12-2014, 10:27 PM

That I just reached my custom rank posting requirement makes me happy. Now I can have my own rank- I just need to come up with a good one. What sounds better- "Master of Quack-Fu" or "Howard, call your mother"?

Anything but AFLAC!!
How about this one - Duck and Run.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 11-12-2014, 10:37 PM

Cool, but I was going for a Howard T./Marvel Reference to tie into my username.

Go through a few Marvel sites that have a few good quotes from Howard. That might help out.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 11-12-2014, 10:54 PM

Or I COULD just... watch the movie again. Or read one of my comic issues. Anyway, those were the two that I came up with- I just can't decide which one to use.

Other ideas are All Quacked Up, Mistress of the Duck, Fear of the Duck, or Foul Play, Just Daffy.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 11-13-2014, 12:44 AM

What made me happy? Two potential job interviews! So nervous, so excited and also worried lol

Aw jeez, cookies! Perfect time of year for those, although any time of year is the perfect time of year for chocolate chip. You gotta love those store bought ready to bake ones. Been a while since I had any. I also like Walmart's Great American sugar cookies. Was never a big sugar cookie fan until I tried these. For now, these are about the only ones I'll eat other than chocolate chip. Mom also sends these care packages every November and December filled with home made chocolate chip cookies. Can't wait for those.

Everybody has some great "day-makers" go report! So uplifting to see all my fellow Dromers doing & feeling so well! My day-maker yesterday was getting 2 exotic weapons, another exotic weapon bounty & an exotic helm yesterday in Destiny. Statistically unlikely. But it happened and it made me so dad-gum happy!

Also, seeing our younger dog get all happy & frisky in this brisk weather. You can't help but smile at she does her happy dance.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-13-2014, 08:09 AM

The prospect of getting McDonald's today after Mom's doctor's appointment makes me pretty happy.

*Icebot* · 11-13-2014, 10:42 AM

I'm gonna see some family members I haven't seen in over a year. Looking forward to it!

This just in. It's not gonna happen after all. I have to go to work that day due to a scheduling mistake.

Aw man, I haven't had that in forever! I like saving cash by not eating out, but McD's has sounded great lately. I know there nuggets aren't composed of anything remotely resembling chicken, but I love those. Especially when I'm naughty around every other month and scarf down a whole twenty piece. You definitely get your money's worth at McDonald's too. I mean, I love Chick Fil-A's nuggets more than McD's, but I have to order around 25 or so before I get full, and they cost more. Chicken always makes me happy btw. I jones for it all the time, but more so around the holidays.
