@t_straighter that is sooooo cool! I never know what to do with mine. Do you strain it? keep in all on one jar from different batches?

This is insane hysteria. Increased technological efficiency creates wealth. It does not destroy it.

@FrDylanSchrader was in a book club reading it. it did not stimulate the conversation as it was intended. those who actually read it found it offputting.

@dwightknoll our grocery store only sells hot cross buns for Easter..usually not even for sale on Good Friday. kinda missing the point, guys!

@blessedtism @TiffaniMarie483 it turns out
milk does a body good
pass it on
was real

@TiffaniMarie483 @00Kit00 someone has to be the 1%

that is how percentiles work

@thatthingido2 @TiffaniMarie483 for real, real ice cream is wonderful and nutritious

[CalmDust @calm_dust]

@TiffaniMarie483 @blessedtism my picky eater ate nothing but pancakes and hotdogs and milk. NOTHING. i was so afraid for his nutrition. he is now the tallest in our family. broke 6 ft before 15.

@TiffaniMarie483 @ChaskaDaisy I'm so sorry. i don't have medical advice but i was not even on the growth chart as a child--30 lbs in grade 1. By age 20, I was slim build w average height.

does your child drink milk? have more milk. a LOT more. have more (real) ice cream.

@CatholicCharm I'm over 50, eldest is in college and it still feels like just yesterday husband and i were in college and dating.

[CalmDust @calm_dust]

@WalkerKortson76 @MrDanielBuck yes, its been discussed for a couple years now. In an attempt to back out of test-optional college admission, tests need to be more in line with current high school student experiences, performance, and expectation. the modern test needs to provide equity+a positive experience.

[CalmDust @calm_dust]

@RogenJH @MrDanielBuck LOLLLLLLLL

because they neede to be as easy as the revamped SAT or no one will sign up for it.

and why did the SAT do that? equity! (and to make their test no more difficult than current college expectations.)

[CalmDust @calm_dust]

yawn. just catching up with the SAT.

What in the Sam Hill?!

The ACT just quietly nuked their standards, and no one seems to have noticed

Fewer questions, more time per question, fewer choices, shorter & fewer reading passages

@JessaB61 this is a good move! it will be rough--you will find it difficult to give him enough material to feed his curiosity--but it's worth it. Once they get bored, it is so difficult for them to find their spark again.

I'm in year 10 now. never dreamed I'd do this, but its been fab!
