It's true. I teach college kids, and a couple of years ago my class was taking a midterm. The room didn't have a clock so I put my watch on the document camera display so they'd know how much time was left. A girl in the front row asked me what time it was, because she couldn't tell time. After she turned in her test, thinking she must be kind of embarrassed about this, I told her I'd be happy to teach her how to tell time. She gave me a look like "ok, boomer" and said no thanks.

Facebook, 2004. Gmail, 2005. Still use both of those accounts.

Fellow teacher here! During my first 5 years or so teaching, I was so sensitive to negative feedback. Comments were overwhelmingly positive but I'd really wince at negative comments. I've grown a thicker skin since then, and more importantly I've come to believe in myself and I know I'm good at what I do. So, experience and confidence.

Where the HECK is WALL DRUG?

And an honorable mention goes to the Corn Palace.

Thanks for posting this; it brings back lots of happy memories for me. I camped there many times as a kid back in the 90s, and the whole family loved watching the movie. Such a cool place to visit. I love Wyoming!

I sat here and thought about it, and I truly think I'd go to the dollar store, buy a few cheap water guns, and have a water fight with my sisters and their kids. Remember how fun water fights are??? Even those cheap little water guns; doesn't have to be fancy. Leftover money would go to popsicles.

That was fascinating to read!

The full article mentions the child had been placed there by a "court decision" so it sounds like the parents may have temporarily lost custody.

Same here! I think I had over 400 hours on botw. Now onto totk, and loving every minute. After reading this thread I just told my husband he should be thankful I'm not into WoW.

I don't anymore. I have all my boosters, and I live in a rural area where there are rarely crowds anywhere I go. I also have gotten over a lot of the fear I had pre-vaccine. I had covid for the first time in January and honestly I was relieved that it was very mild. Thank you scientists!! And I still have my stockpile of masks in case I ever need to leave the house if I'm sick.
