    Good news Alice, and congratulations, Dawnikins! See what happens when you come to chat, for homework help?
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    I'm confused. Congratulations to Dawn.

    Hey Alice (and Dawn), if it IS March 25 I'm either too late or still got plenty of time to prepare a congratulation.

    If it is May 25 (my graduation was May 25, 1961), then CONGRATULATIONS! I'll be watching for pictures and may your life be filled with much happiness and just enough sorrow to make you realize how happy the other times really are! Love ya like a granddaughter Dawn.

    One small step for the family, one large leap for the graduate (begging Neil Armstrongs pardon). Dawn, may you have a blessed and exciting life with fair winds and following seas.

    Congrats Dawn! That is a great step in life. Without a highschool diploma, your options are so limited. You will now be opening many doors toward doing whatever you desire doing. Any thoughts toward college yet?

    And as for college.. I am to broke for that so.. moving and a job.. while filing for grants and applying to scholarships; however, I got kind of screwed on scholarships from school because all the deadlines were april 16th and they gave me the papers on may 1st. So no idea where life is going. but its going.

    Heres a piece of advice that will work, if you try and apply it.
    Your first semester you would have to take a student loan out. But if you put the nose to the grindstone and make the grades, the scholarships and grants will pay for all of your tuition from then on, as long as you keep the grades up.
    I know this as this was my path, and the path my cousin took. Unfortunatley I had 2 kids, I was raising on my own, with no family near, and a full time job. So when I pulled a 4.0 after the first semester, all University fees was paid for with a few thousand left over. But I couldn't do it with a 6 & 7 yr old to raise.

    Now my cousin, he did the same thing, and the next 5 1/2 yrs of tuition and misc fees were all covered. Only thing he had to do was work part time, to pay for his extras.
    Now speed it up 13 yrs later to this date and my son is doing the same thing. Next semester will be 100% free, because he pulled the grades, and the college got him the grants and scholarships.
    I hope this helps.
