BaltiGator Posted June 3, 2006 #27 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I've always liked the Mountaineers...don't much care for Canes, but I do make exceptions for Noles now and then... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaNC Posted June 3, 2006 #28 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Yep, they are good people (and made great sons-in-law) and we TarHeels are often forgiving souls! As long as we don't have to compete in the ACC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinelyCruising Posted June 3, 2006 #29 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Nice Sticky Anne! ...and for you Walt ;) ....I have a whole new bunch of questions....like why I always have to file an extension on my return... since why are the funds keepers allowed a whole different set of dates for delivery. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katree Posted June 3, 2006 #30 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Not only GAAP and GAAS, but SOX, ARS and PCAOB as well! Now I wonder if anyone but us two know what all that means. Or cares. (Some may suggest GAAS is what I may be full of, and they may be right, but it stands for Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, and some may think that ARS means something anatomical, but it stands for Accounting Research Studies, the precursors to the APB's, the FASB's and the SOP's.) I know. Yawn. Well, I'm a "baby CPA" (1st year staff), and having just passed the exam I can recite all the acronyms you'd like, but I'm trying to block them out....;) Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love football. I remember the play a couple of years back when the kid, Wilson, jumped over the Cane defender running down the sidelines...that really made me SMILE:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Walt Posted June 4, 2006 #32 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Nice Sticky Anne! ...and for you Walt ;) ....I have a whole new bunch of questions....like why I always have to file an extension on my return... since why are the funds keepers allowed a whole different set of dates for delivery. :D Well, if you didn't make any money, you wouldn't have to file for an extension. ;) And if it's fairness you're looking for, fuggeddaboudit. (That's a technical CPA term.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Walt Posted June 4, 2006 #34 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Well, I'm a "baby CPA" (1st year staff), and having just passed the exam I can recite all the acronyms you'd like, but I'm trying to block them out....;) Katie Well the first thing you need to be ready for are the wise guys who think CPA means: Cheap Physical Attraction Cleaning, Pressing and Alterations Constant Pain in the A** Seriously, major congratulations on passing the exam. That's a major accomplishment, especially with the huge increase in the body of knowledge you had to learn. I passed all but Law in 1964, and got Law behind me in Nov., 1966. (I passed Theory when the FASB was just a distant concept being developed by the SEC.) The CPA "ticket," as we used to call it, was (and still is) a credential that establishes a credibility level for the holder that is priceless.

wvufan Posted June 4, 2006 #35 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi folks, Great thread! Thanks for the kind comments Lois-perhaps you bring out the best in people;). Anne, I got my BS in psych 66. Went back after 'nam from 70-72. Started in journalism grad school and then switched to undergrad (long story, but it made sense). Dropped out before I got degree. What years were you in journalism? Paul Atkins is the best professor ever! Got MA in rehab counseling in 2000. One of my profs kiddingly said he was going to flunk me and I told him I had tenure and he couldn't touch me:D . Glad to hear we have some more Mountaineer fans! Spengle, you have a wise daughter! Bowden may have done OK at FSU, but we hung him in effigy in 1970 after we had a 35-8 halftime lead over arch rival Pitt and lost the game by 36-35. We love our coach, Rich Rodriguez, and are currently in negotiations to extend his contract. He sure coaches an exciting brand of ball. I always root against Cryami. Thanks again for an interesting and novel topic. OOOEEE:D :D Bob and Phyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted June 4, 2006 #38 Share Posted June 4, 2006 so, Walt, do you find yourself saying "fer shur" a lot and hanging out at the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square on the weekends???? I grew up in WH (could see the cows grazing at Pierce College from my bedroom). Also saw that someone with a Psych degree started grad school in Journalism. My BA's in Psych from UCLA and MAs from the Missouri J-school. Interesting combo to have. Go Bruins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyfssw Posted June 4, 2006 #40 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Walt, I am always interested in learning about people and their backgrounds. It's amazing how often we share things in common. Small world and all of that. In any case, thank you for sharing some things about your self and your background. This is a great thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted June 5, 2006 #43 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Is that the new development with the giant fountain? I remember that being built. We sometimes go to the Promenade (my hubby loves the Triamiana Grill chicken burgers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinmamma Posted June 7, 2006 #48 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks for the intro Anne and Walt. It helps us all to feel like we know you better now. I can't tell you the wealth of information that I've gained from these boards. My Mom is constanly saying, "Oh, she learned that from cruise critics. Just ask her about cruising, she can tell you anything you want to know." This has certainly been the place to become cruise savy. Thanks for all you do.
