Mar 2012

The 1st year women came in was 72, IIRC. I remember being in the women's dorm and leaving a room very early one morning....who did I meet coming out of one of the room's? Yep... He wore a cowboy hat back then...was he still wearing it when you were there? What's this 'slappy' thing you refer to?

Can't remember the anthem...not sure I ever heard it when I was going there. I remember some great teachers, though - Dr. Lynch in matrix logic...Dr. John Esposito - comparative religions. I also remember being invited over to the Jesuit residence...I was amazed at the bar set-up they had back then...we had bars in every dorm back then (2 in Carlin), 1 in Hanselmann...I can't tell you how much booze I drank at the "Cross on the weekends. I'm sure I'd never get in there today.

Oh yeah, last 2 years, I lived offcampus, up on Providence St. by St. Vincent's Hospital...that was, shall we say, a most interesting time in my life.

Senator Casey Stirs Local Debate Over Contraception Vote [View all] Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 OP

For him it is strictly a religious issue because he is a catholic. I don't agree with his vote southernyankeebelle Mar 2012 #1

That is what I thought too. Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #2

Yes I will agree with you on that. As a female catholic it disappoints me. I am glad to see he has southernyankeebelle Mar 2012 #5

He's wrong on this issue. Old and In the Way Mar 2012 #3

You don't get any arguments from me on it. I think he is wrong. southernyankeebelle Mar 2012 #6

A savvy moderator would move this discussion to the 'old school ties' forum. Mc Mike Mar 2012 #24

By all rights, I should have gotten the boot my freshman year. Old and In the Way Mar 2012 #28

I was class of '87, think Casey's older. Mc Mike Mar 2012 #29

Bob Casey has placed the Vatican before his country. Dawson Leery Mar 2012 #4

Yes he has. Lugnut Mar 2012 #7

I felt that way too, but Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #10

Yes he has and I am writing to him too livetohike Mar 2012 #8

Isn't it crazy that nobody is talking about how Santorum and gingrich are doing the same? NT Mc Mike Mar 2012 #19

I expect it from Santorum, not Casey. Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #22

I'm with you on this one. But I paid attention to Bob's dad, the gov. Mc Mike Mar 2012 #25

Isn't that the truth! Republicans deliver Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #31

That's one of the few votes I don't agree with. I'm waiting for the fervor to die down a bit before HopeHoops Mar 2012 #9

I see your point. Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #11

It isn't just him, that's true of all of their offices, but he at least responds. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #12

I remember the time Santorum responded to me Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #13

When I moved to NH, Douglass (I think that was his name) was my rep. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #14

The West PA and West VA Dems are almost repug-level stupid. Mc Mike Mar 2012 #17

You are south of me, but I remember the Altmire/Hart Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #21

I strongly believe that Hart is just Santorum in Drag, or vice versa. Mc Mike Mar 2012 #26

We have to choose between Altmire and Critz in our district. blue neen Mar 2012 #23

I didn't know that there was a primary fight set up between Altmire and Critz. Mc Mike Mar 2012 #27

Their districts were combined because of the gerrymandering. blue neen Mar 2012 #30
