@AtALoss15@HannahWardEdu Curious, what differences do you see specifically? We are leaving private school for my oldest son and going home school for this coming school year. I already see differences between him and the public school neighbors. There is an edge or sharpness/awareness that separates them
@yourtweetcess@SnackReel OK, so I have one or two. You’re right, not comfortable for anything else. So I have to make the decision for getting dressed for the day “am I going to jump around or not?” lol. Makes it hard for spontaneous fun!
@shipwreckshow I cleared out some built-in cabinets of decor and now use for pantry overflow/costco bulk duplictes, etc. I’m shocked more people don’t do this.
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.
Write that down. 🦋
An Islamic cleric declares:
“We must declare that Palestine is an Islamic land, and that Spain is also the land of Islam. Islamic armies must also conquer Rome. The decline of the West will give rise to Islam from its ashes.”
