In my lack edukashon I think the thesaurus went the way of all of the other saurus's like the brontosaurus

Anywho, self reliance is a huge personal achievement. Hell, just experiencing getting to work on the bus was huge for me... 3 freaking transfers.. sucks. (What takes 2 - 3 hrs on bus takes about 1hr by bike and 20 min. in the car. wtf?) My first few commutes helped me realize how many trips I make to satisfy a whim. Now I have to plan ahead and figure out if certain things are worth the time/effort and especially money.
