  1. Bear Grylls approves this message. Methodologies may vary.
  2. Look here! I don’t care if you say my senior only has 1.5 credits. You kept moving him on and he is in the top half of the class, so we are graduating and going to Sizzler to celebrate!
  3. So instead of you having two in your garage that were never used, he would have five in his garage that will never be used. Sounds like a win-win.
  4. That is more 70's, and it is a cigarillo. But still good times.
  5. And just like that they took the top position in the Black Cloud market.
  6. To be fair she was likely going to lose the foot to diabetes soon anyway.
  7. Every single guy please take note!
  8. Yep. Get Wifi enabled thermostats and turn it down or off remotely, and then turn it back on remotely before you head back. Don't ask and don't tell.
  9. So your rage changes as often as the Texas weather?
  10. You can listen to the Kid Maaaahhhing out his one-note song
  11. His belt game....not so much.
  12. But I remember 1980 much better than 2060. Why is that?
  13. Guy has two things he doesn’t want his friends to see him riding, and he just broke one of them.
  14. The link I provided as reference ranks the US based on spending per pupil. It also shows dollar totals for funding per pupil which is $2,228 more than the number used for ranking, so I would assume that encompasses either capital projects, extra-curricular spending and/or other spending...but the link doesn't have that much detail and I don't care enough to dig further.
  15. You should go to your wife's work as they will have extra since the teachers only need 9/12 of a dosage...since they don't need to work in the summer.
  16. Pre-Law, Pre-Med...what's the difference!?
  17. This is a horrible tragedy, but the article is written so it seems that somehow it is unknown who was at fault. The semi crashed into the Expedition's driver's side as the SUV crossed over the roadway, pushing it into the shoulder. The SUV did have a stop sign, but it is unknown who had right of way, or if it stopped before crossing the highway. The big rig did not have a stop sign. So with an 18 wheeler driving down the highway and SUV at crossroad with stop sign it is pretty clear who has right of way.
  18. Sorry you or your wife is a public school teacher in Oklahoma. But Surliness/kidding aside, if the statistics said that the US spent more than any other country would you still have the same take? What if the US spent twice as much as any other country? Is your perspective that if we spent twice as much as any other country that the situation like the one in the OP would not have happened? If yes, I would unfortunately disagree as I think the problems we face are more underlying ones than ones that money can fix. From the same article it has State spending and "Maryland schools spend $14,762 per pupil for a total of $13.2 billion annually." Which ranks 15th in the US, and I think would be 3rd or 4th in the world if compared to other countries. Not that teachers shouldn't be paid more, but my point is that we have other issues with our educational system that money won't address.
