I think spending 20 pages fighting with an obvious troll is a waste of time.

Don't we have food we can fight about? Ooo, I have one.



Leggings are not pants.

I realized the other day DD was wearing leggings as pants. I was all "Ahhhh, what would GM think of my parenting?!"

Wrong.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Jingle all the way is the best Christmas movie ever.

My UO: I don't like bacon (I know, blasphemy) but I can't help it...

How is this even possible?? I love bacon, but I also don't want it on all the things... just some! lol

I know - it's crazy. But everyone else loves it cuz when I order something with bacon ex: burger or sandwich I get the bacon on the side (they make you pay for it, I may as well get it!) and give it away to who ever is with me.

[summerdonna]

I like all the Christmas movies!

I don’t like Vera Bradley purses.
Some of the material is pretty…for like a quilt…but not for a purse.

For parents? For schools? The current system derives from the need for kids to be at home to work on farms in the summer... I think we've moved past that.

Speak for yourself. Rural areas still exist and it's pretty assholey to say they don't. Enjoy the food you eat from not farmers apparently.

And what happens when you end up with one kid in high school, one in middle school, and one in grade school and all with different schedules. That shit has happened all the time in districts that tried to implement this.



And yes, it is a million times easier to remember that a kid is off for 2 months than having to try to remember every fucking week where they need to go that week.





Oh, and studies have shown that performance is better on the 9 month system.

I know that rural areas still exist. I also know that child labor on farms is not very well protected, especially when school is not in session. There are no limits on the hours that children can work on farms, they can be paid far below the minimum wage, they can work at much younger ages than other children, they can be asked to perform dangerous tasks... I guess, I'm just not convinced that I think the educational system should be arranged to facilitate children working in the fields. Yes, I know that if they didn't, I would have to pay more for my food.

Also, my understanding is that the studies are mixed and inconclusive about the efficacy of the 9 month vs. the 12 month.

CT is Samoas and Trefoils. I wonder why MA is different?

There are two different bakeries that make the cookies so there are different names. I don't think it is necessarily a difference among states so much that it depends where individual troops decide to get their boxes from (though it makes sense the troops in similar areas go with the same distributor). I grew up south of Boston and had Samoas and Trefoils. 

This. I grew up on Cape and we had Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils. etc.

Dammit now I want Girl Scout cookies.

That's where Sparknotes comes in handy!

At this point I've figured out the jist of the story. It was a personal goal that i've never completed.

Oh.

Also I love how you just glossed right over apologizing for being rude to one of the site admins who was trying to help you.

I tried to help her earlier.  It didn't take then, either.

My English teacher in HS accidentally called this story "The Tale of Two Titties". We died.

At this point, she's just fucking annoying. All in favor of completely ignoring her?

How is this thread sooooo long?! I'm only on page 15 and it keeps growing... Lots of crazy today...

Clearly, doing my job was an UO today because I managed to completely follow all 28 pages of this thread in real time.

^^^This is true too. I was about to come back and say that but you beat me to it.

Not that it matters because I'm sure she's gonna be all "don't curr lemme talk about leggings and Tim Allen".

Eta this is in reference to joy's post.
