just remember Melinda, if you're old, that means I'm old too. And I don't want to think of myself as "old."

Oh, come on. A traditional student (as opposed to someone coming back to school after many years away) in college can't really be old.
Are you feeling old, Brandon? I started feeling old [relative to many of the other students] my senior year. I guess as I senior, I actually was older than many of the students, but still.

Sometimes I feel old (like the fact that I've been home for 1 year now) and the fact that I'm older than lots of people plus seeing everybody getting married.

i feel old a lot too. especially since i am senior age, but have another two years (at least) of school ahead of me. and then, like brandon see, there are all these people who are getting married that are the same age (or younger).
Yes, Brandon, I know that if i am old than you are too. there are just days that i feel really old (especially when Caidyn says "you got older and wiser on your mission...") maybe its the RM thing making me feel old...

I think it is the RM thing. Not trying to be sexist or anything, but even though when sisters come home they are about as old as most of the elders (very few actually leave at 19) and everybody thinks of sisters as older because they leave later.

yes, it's a good one, then you could all come on a road trip during the 7-week break and visit me! (i'm in the most central location after all)

I think it only counts as a road trip is we carpool. Otherwise, it's just a long distance that might as well be traveled in an airplane.
Dad thinks I should get either a Toyota or a Honda. That reminds me--when people were discussing the car-maker's bailout (Booo!) I heard a really...Really bad argument. I'm going to go on a rant, so if you don't want to read it/have heard this before, feel free to stop reading.
This guy (who was a student of BYU-I, but I highly doubt either of you know him), argued that we couldn't let the US automakers fail, not because it would hurt the people they employ or for any other relatively valid reason. No. He argued that we couldn't let them fail because it could make police officers loose their jobs. Let me know if you can guess his reason for this without reading ahead.
He argued that if US automakers went under, fewer people would be driving, so police officers wouldn't be able to give enough people tickets, and they would loose their jobs. My response: if $4.00/gallon gas didn't make people people use public transportation and "hurt" the cops, I don't think not being able to buy US cars would. What else I should have said but didn't think of until later: 1) The federal government has no business preventing a company from failing. Constitutionally, I highly doubt they have the power. 2) In my driveway right now (actual time, not when I was talking with this guy), there is a Toyota (foreign) , a Kia (foreign), a Honda (foreign), and either a Doge or a Ford. And Dad wants me to get either a Toyota or a Honda. Oh, and I used to own a Volkswagon (foreign). Just because people might not have been able to buy US cars, doesn't mean they wouldn't buy a car at all. 3) If the only reason some cops are employed is to give people traffic tickets, we're probably better off without them. I've heard that the unions are ridiculous. If they are, what the US automakers needed to do (though it might not have been a problem for every company) was go under, dissolve the union, let it re-establish under more reasonable terms, then start again. I haven't researched this part, so feel free to post accurate info.
Any rebuttals?
