grad school

[Meg Larson]

Wasn't trying to incite anyone; just responding to an earlier post that
slandered grad schoolies . . .  and I found my way to TRP before grad
school so I take that as a good sign . . .And I know this wasn;t directed
at me personally, but before I get to these other messages . . .
