This ^^ And if it's a matter of salary, many trades pay as much as some careers requiring a 4-year bachelors degree.

To some degree, many of these programs have been added in the last two or three years. And there's room for more. And there needs to be better acceptance among parents (and school guidance counselors) that vo/tech training is a viable option. There's still a lot of pushback from some in the...

yep, read it a couple years ago - I'd first heard the author interviewed on NPR, that piqued my interest in the book. A good read - and a good book group discussion book.

I also felt that the 16 count indictment was a bit much. Kind of funny (in a sad way) - the very conservative friend I walked with this morning, when I commented that I understood (to a point) the prosecutor's comment that JS was a first time offender and this was not a violent crime - replied...

OK, where in my post did I say ANYTHING about LIMITING a student's choices? I favor INCREASING the choices we offer to include a choice to include more options to choose some level of vocational/technical course work. There also should be good choices for continuing adult ed for those who may...

This applies to a good number of celebrations - it's too much. Inviting your 25+ nearest and dearest to the stand-alone ultrasound studio for a gender reveal party? UGH. And speaking of over the top parties, I'll have to find the article I saw about a backlash against "goody bags" and how...

I am a big proponent of vocational/technical education at the high school level - less insistence that a college prep educational path to a four-year (or more) degree is the best course for everyone less technology in the classroom, particularly in the early elementary years - let students read...

well, I thought all along that the charges were overkill (no pun intended) but now I'm not sure what to think at all - - as Jerry Garcia would say "what a long, strange trip it's been..." https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-jussie-smollett-charges-dropped-20190326-story.html

just heard on the radio that prosecutors have dropped all charges against Jussie Smollet - no further details at the moment. If I find a link or anything, I'll share it.

that LSU - Maryland game was exciting!

that is the full statement - to me, it sounds as though he's afraid citizens might be inspired to "take the law into their own hands" in dealing with the shooter and any accomplices - and is reminding them that the justice system is the proper means for retribution though then again, I'm not...

http://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2019/en/group?groupID=1628899 anyone here in the Jazzfanz group? I joined and filled out my bracket just in the nick of time yesterday - I'm not sure who's running it - it's a VERY small group this year, I was the third member. Seemed to...

but isn't it a Utah company that came up with the Squatty Potty?

most communities have nuisance ordinances that cover situations like this - as Wes mentioned, call the police. Or at least call your local government office and ask about their policies.

and if folks are sharing a personal experience, they're only speaking for themselves anyhow

Within any demographic there are a variety of opinions and experiences, people really are just speaking for themselves - maybe we could just leave it at that? It really irks me when folks seem to speak as if there's uniformity among any particular group, whether it be by race, ethnicity...

people who say "I stay in [name of town]" or "where do you stay" when they mean where they (or you) live

ya'll are probably way too young to remember this, but for some reason it popped into my head last night and has become my most recent earworm... it's kind of toe-tapping in a way - and honestly, i'm not trying to hijack the thread....

I had to change the radio station I keep on as background noise during the day because it is a CBS-affiliated station and it seems R. Kelly is the only news they feel is worth reporting, since that interview with Gail King was on a CBS broadcast channel. Plus it's another Chicago-connected news...

ha ha, maybe that response came from my husband - he has a notorious (to me at least) talent for stuff like this - I was chuckling as I read your post and he asked me what I was laughing at so I showed him. He read it thru and looked at me and said "So, what's so funny about this?" After he...
