Yeah, the school has really slipped under the Superintendent who announced her retirement at the end of the school year (she's in her early 40s) then suddenly left. Where on the building is the graffiti? I want to see this.

I dated a girl who wanted to be a musical actress. I hate musicals, she owned 300+ musicals on CD, and tried to get me to like it. We saw this episode, and she was insulted by it, so I used that quote every time she’d play something thinking I might like it.
Re: Movies
I only watched the one that I think started the reboot in 2010, but it seems like anyone I’ve talked to that have watched the new ones says they’re pretty great.

I had to laugh, Syb. Because I did hear that we are likely to be the "young people" on our cruise. But, the people we are traveling with hate Trump just like we do, so we'll be fine, there. The cruise is in 2025, so the election will be history, so likely we won't hear about Trump, or we ...

This is a weird one... This morning I sent a priority package through the USPS to my mom. She just called saying she got a text from the USPS that looks real, but has to be a scam, saying there is a package sent to her with an illegible address and she needs to enter her address so they can ship it....

Funny you would ask about cruises. We did one cruise 10 years ago, and I said I’d never do another one. Hell is other people. But it was one of those big ones with multi story ship. Now we’re going to go on another one next year - we just signed up. My wife and I and some old friends from Colorado....

Apologies if I've said this before, but one problem is that there is a huge divide between people who have seen Israel as an underdog and those who have only seen Israel as a bully.

The US has backed a lot of questionable regimes, but there is something about this one that brings in more intensity and hatred. Wonder what that could be. There's no reason to think the intensity and hatred is evidence of anti-Semitism. The US wars on Iraq and Afghanistan were twenty-plus years ag...

That explains the jumper at the ceremony. (A student either slipped or jumped and died at the end of the ceremony). Too soon, yes, but I feel like I need to fill the TT-sized void on inappropriate death jokes.
Also, what percentage of students know that song?
