Actually, you need to add the others that didn't make it too. We keep going and it will be the ones that don't make it will out number the ones that do make it?!

Who ever heard of a three headed sheep? I've seen two headed, but not three. I just heard from Glenda, she's in New York with Teisha. She says it is very hot and humid. They are staying in a hostile with like 50 other girls, all young. Glenda is having trouble sleeping because of all the young kid hours, and the sound of hair dryers.

That's good that Glenda is out enjoying life, even if she had to go to New York to do it. It's a shame that San Francisco couldn't offer the same thrills, chills, and excitement. It probably would've been cheaper to go down to Geary Street and pretend that her a Teisha were tourists!

I understand New York has two temperatures; too damn hot (with high humidity) or too damn cold (with high humidity). With the hot there's the 98% humidity factor, with the cold there's falling on the ice factor.

I'm especially worried though, having to go to New York, being the hostile environment that it is. Especially given the fact that she had to stay in a hostile, or do you mean hostel?

When the guys and I went to Alaska we stayed in a hostel. A friendly one. I think they do hold promise if you don't plan on sleeping or getting any rest during your stay. In fact, in my experience they try to make it feel at home, and it is, except for the fact you have to speak to the host through a bullet proof window when checking in while trying to avoid some guy behind you slurring at you in some intelligible language. But, they are cheap and affordable. In New York City those are relative words, and, they do allow you the opportunity to carry on that science experiment from 5th grade that you probably didn't complete. Remember that one where you were going to gauge the decibel level of other people's snoring while crouched in the corner of your bunk holding on to your stuff in hopes that someone doesn't rip it out from under your head all the while praying to see the sunlight streaming in the 10 foot high small window in your room. Of course, that's part two of your continuos prayer. Part one is the opportunity to actually live to see another sunrise. These hostels, in my experience, aren't exactly in the best parts of town. Forget about the Holiday Inn Express next door. You can even do that 'Farting while sleeping decibel level' experiment. That's the one that you never told your mom you were thinking about. Yes, you can do that in a hostel too.

And, I don't even want get into the hair dryer issues and 50 other girls!!!!!

I think Glenda will confirm everything you've said; in believe the hostel is in Harlem. What scared me, is Teisha wanted to go for a hike to Central Park. If my ears worked correctly, it was about 30 blocks away!! They did it, but it was really hard on Glenda.
