This morning I'm finishing up a speech I'm giving to a group of Juniors at the local high tomorrow.

While I was out on my walk, I remembered a statistic I heard awhile back.

Kids hear an average of 32 positive words every day, but they hear an average of 436 negative words!

As parents and teachers, it's our job to work on ourselves and our language when speaking to children.

Too often kids are spoken to in a way that we would never speak to other people.

Unless we're on social media of course.

Work on that too.

@Millenihag I'm going my hand back sweetheart. It supports the point of the original post that prior to implementing the student loan program, college was affordable.

[Dave Reed @dammitdavid_]

@Millenihag @amitylee13 People could save money during the summer and pay for college tuition prior to student loans.
My best friend worked 2, sometimes 3 jobs during the summer, then went down to one job Friday to Sunday during the school year.
Went to a state school and walked away debt free in 1996.

@ScottThompson_ It may have done poorly but as one of the biggest KITH fans, I was there opening night.

@stevensongs IDK, sounds more like a Barry Zuckerkorn move.

@anthonybwilson @PeterCorbett1 It’s a Bowlero now, but I used to go there with my mom in the 70s.

[Dave Reed @dammitdavid_]

@PeterCorbett1 I learned at the bowling alley at Thunderbird and I 17. I think it was AMF.
My mom was in a league at what’s now the Bowlero by Christown in the 70s.

@20th_Centurygal Phunk Junkeez.
So loud we had to leave.

[Dave Reed @dammitdavid_]

Yes.
We had one have a bad crash and broke his arm here Friday night.
They're all over, including the walking trails around our lakes.
People on the local Facebook pages are complaining about them darting in front of their cars.
I get it, I'd have been stoked to have one at their age.
I don't want to be the old man shaking his fist, but something does need done.

@eckiam Camping at Hawley Lake in the White Mountains.
I remember being there with a family friend and walking through the pine trees.

@maxlugavere I never thought about using PBfit instead of peanut butter.
And frozen broccoli for convenience.
I will be trying this soon.
Looks amazing.

@wokemobfootball As a native Arizonan, I’ve always thought Scottsdale is overrated.
I think outside of Scottsdale, most AZ natives feel that way.
And Scottsdale has very few AZ natives.

@ChefGruel We don’t even get pizza delivered.
Our local pizzeria is so good when it’s fresh and crisp out of the oven.
30 minutes in a box ruins that.

@JoshLipnik Last time I was there I saw a deer in the desert.

[Dave Reed @dammitdavid_]

@JoshLipnik @RLDodman They do guided tours as well.
I have a friend who’s a guide.
Did you get to see the theater?
They have movie nights and play classic movies once a month.

This is my favorite kind of celebrity post.

[Flea @flea333]

I enjoy the photographs of the moon.

@JeffAlbaPHX @rez_devil I came to make sure someone posted this.

@CaudilloXIV We have the fattest hungry people in the world.
