[nagdu] Before and after class

[Star Gazer]

I've never liked using the sandwich bags as poop bags, probably because I
associate them with sandwiches, and everybody knows the adage "You don't
s*** where you eat". 
It's really just personal preference though.

I like the idea of the conference call before class to meet t he others in
the class, learn your room numbers and instructor, and a few extras. TSE
used to send out a recording or other material, but we didn't know the
instructor until we reached school. I don't actually mind this so much, but
that does seem like a nice touch.

I sure wouldn't buy toys. I have found it increasingly unlikely that I s
hould buy any until I've been home for a while. Many are expensive, and
often my dogs don't want the ones I chose. I don't know why.
