In order to fully understand federalism, one must divide the word into it's roots: fede and ralism. Then and only then can you begin to understand the essence of this idea.

Yet another reason I'd rather be paid for doing nothing, by Fenny. smiley - smiley

The way to be payed for nothing is: rent out your flat during large exhibitions that take place in your town. US$ 60-90 is not too bad for a day (actually: night) which you don't spent at home, innit?

I *could*... but that means I'd have to keep the place clean. I don't know how effective I'd be at that. And this is San Diego - home of 'conventions for old stuffy republican conventions and sometimes garden hows for their wives'... I don't want the place overtaken by the likes of THEM...
On the other hand, that does have possibilities... sixty to ninety... hell this place could get more than that... smiley - winkeye.

You see, I wrote 'conventions' twice, and they haven't even come yet. smiley - winkeye

Well, you don't need to marry the mob smiley - winkeye
I don't know 'bout the price-range in 'Diego, but one can usually suss that out with the ones who organise/run the convention/exhibition. Generally it needs a big one so that all the hotel rooms are fully booked. Else people do not tend to stay in private (is students') places.
You might want to fix the linen closet securely to the wall, so that it doesn't crush visitors.

"Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: 'Mankind'. Basically, it's made up of two separate words - 'mank' and 'ind'. What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind." - Jack Handy (the guy who wrote the Deep Thoughts for SNL)

Oh me oh my, time to find something to do...

smiley - smiley. I loved that so much... Whenever I write I find myself doing it (in order to fully understand entertainment, one must see the individual roots... enter, tain as in taint, and ment from the latin 'mente', or mind. Therefore, entertainment aims to enter and taint the mind)... I didn't like any of the other Jack Handy's though, 'cept the one about the spider and vaseline... heehee

This place is littered with conventions, all the time. Cheaper than Hawaii and twice as nice ('cept for the new age nutsos and vegetarians). *scratches head* I see some definite possibility...

Instead of doing my physics like I should, I think I'll just post another of the Deep Thoughts (if you look hard enough on the web, you can find them all!).

"I bet the sparrow looks at the parrot and thinks, yes, you can talk, but LISTEN TO YOURSELF!"

Ok, I'm going to work on my physics now... really...

So the sodium hydroxide just didn't sway you? How about some nice, aromatic benzene? smiley - winkeye

Me? Buy new beds for them? They're just lucky I covered up the phone numbers on the wall ("Phone books get lost. Walls don't.") and have actually bought plates that aren't paper. They can stay on the couch. It folds out, y'know.

Mmmmmmm... aromatic benzene...

I have a shirt with a benzene ring on it. Does that count for anything?
