Today, I took my students on a STEM field trip to an indoor skydiving place. (Go iFLY!) So many student came up to me before it was their turn to fly to tell me they were scared. And I'd say, "It's okay-that's what the beginning of an adventure feels like."
@VirginAtlantic I contacted them after no reply from Sales. Customer service was the one email I received five days ago, but no update since. Thought perhaps I was doing something wrong.
@VirginAtlantic So glad I didn't click on the link they sent, then! Any chance you'd be able to help me with my voucher problem? I've been trying to redeem one and have only gotten 1 email in nearly three weeks.
@VirginDpt, having a hard time redeeming a voucher I won. Emailed multiple times, but have only had 1 email in nearly three weeks. Have lots of respect for @VirginAtlantic- am I doing something wrong to not have gotten an answer yet?

YES! I notice this, especially in girls around 7-10. You can tell they went to their closet and literally picked out whatever. made. them. happy.
Sequined skirt? Check.
With cammo t-shirt? Check.
I love it.
But again, there's no wrong way for kids to dress. The more experimentation and creativity, the better. Childhood is a time for expression, so they should wear whatever makes them happy.

@PastorTrey05 I normally lurk cause there are lots of smarter folks saying smarter stuff than I have to offer but-
Love how theobro doesn’t see any connection between a woman *literally* being treated as a contagion and then later joining a “schismatic sect.”
It’s a mystery.
