I would too. My husband was always out in the yard but sadly, Google maps did not capture him out there.

Collective punishment for the entire class based on the actions of one or two kids is lazy on behalf of the teacher/administrator. The only positive to it, it teaches kids at an early age that life is not fair. That teachers and principals (bosses, adults) are not fair, and will do things that are wrong because it is easier for them. This is a good lesson to learn young.
It's the Private Pyle theory. Every time the problem child screws up, everyone else gets punished and then pressures the problem child to straighten up. People love that theory but forget that it led to Private Pyle shooting the DI. ;)
Load More Replies...Why is grounding even an option? I took the same arguments to the head master when I was 9. Ice cream, yes. promote critical thinking.
Reminds me of when I got expelled in the 4th grade. I was suspended for a week and I was supposed to work on a group project. Two working parents, I completed all my homework but because of my parents work schedules I could never get it turned in on time. The teacher punished my group-mates as well as me. I really hope that teacher is finally dead now.
Were you suspended or expelled? Expelled means you cannot come back (time period being indefinitely or until the end of the current school year most of the time) but suspension is more like a grounding.
Load More Replies...Why would you even consider grounding? She was asked for feedback, so gave honest, calm and rational comments, based on historical prescient. Much ice cream!
They're doing it to make you want to buy it more. Like hurry up somebody else is gonna get it before you do. And you can't convince me otherwise it's basically a marketing scheme.
To quote the Sicilian from The Princess Bride, "Inconceivable!"
Load More Replies...I was looking at Crocs-type shoes. The ones that looked like they might fit came in several different colors and patterns for $30+. The bright pink ones were on sale, one day only! for &14.95. I ended up buying them, so as to not lose the deal. They remained the one day only! price for several more days, then went on clearance for $11.95
Can never win with these things! You still got a bargain 😊
Load More Replies...I can say is this, they don't lie. You come back 2 hours later they're gone.
because when their stock is gone they may not get any more!! That's why if you see something you want, buy it if you can because you may not find it anywhere else.
Temu does it too. Marketing ploy, like making something a penny cheaper, then calling it, "on sale".
Since we’re on the topic of awkwardness, let’s begin with conversations. We’ve all been through those uneasy discussions that involved a lot of silence, making you want to escape to the nearest exit.
However, you don’t always have to run and hide. Writer and mental health researcher Arlin Cuncic, MA, advises finding the humor in the situation, much like these memes and posts.
In an article for VeryWellMind, she wrote, “Keeping the mood light will help to break the ice and move the conversation forward.”
No. Definitely and unequivocally I totally never do that. *Narrator: Ripley absolutely does this*
This is me when I jog, I have really bad stamina so I’m fighting for my life trying not to breathe like a psychopath.
I used to. Now, It’s obvious im out of shape. I gasp for air and breathe so heavily it probably looks like I’m making a PSA on obesity
Yeah. When I climbed to the top of Mt. Vesuvius. The views of Napoli were so beautiful on the trek up I just had to stop to admire the magnificent vistas all the while trying to catch my breath and to keep from passing out. Meanwhile folks much older than I steamed past confidently. At least I did make it to the top and then all I saw in the crater was a tiny wisp of smoke.
Visiting the ruins of Pompeii is one of my bucket list trips
Load More Replies...I'll try to breathe less hurriedly next time as I gasp taking my inhaler
Look at me breathing normally. I'm not going to die before we reach the top. Nope, not me.
My husband traveled a LOT. Then the kids left home. Their friends went away too. Silence was deafening. I turned on several TVs to different channels now throughout the house. Just to a low murmur. My husband would come home and think that I had lost my marbles.
Not so much when I'm on the computer, but when I'm cleaning or doing other work around the house. I tend towards shows like Law & Order, CSI, or Bones, that are so exposition heavy that I can follow the plot without actively watching the screen. Then I tell myself I'm actually listening to a '40's era radio drama.
Imagine Jeff Bezos also makes it to the wedding and start a d**k fight.
Load More Replies...Apparantly the Royal Family (UK) get hundreds of invites to weddings, and every now and then they go. There's a photo of the Queen (Elizabeth) going to someones wedding that does the media rounds every so often.
My wife actually has a billionaire friend, and he says he doesn't get invited to many weddings, because people are afraid he'll think they're only inviting him to get an expensive gift.
Um, guys? Something went wrong. I now have to entertain the billionares and they found out that a guilliotine was on the wedding gift list.
I had a friend do a similar thing, but not with billionaires. She sent invites to a bunch of CEOs a few towns over. The distance was just great enough that it would be hassle for them to attend the wedding. She addressed the invites to the company offices. She got a few congratulation cards, and a few nice bottles of wine in response.
Here’s the situation: you’re in an elevator with a co-worker, and they begin some small talk. As someone who isn’t a fan of these chitchats, you start feeling like the walls are closing in. What do you do?
Cuncic advises having open-ended “go-to questions” you can pull out of your pocket when the need arises. One example could be, “What have you been up to?” It shifts the spotlight onto them.
One of them definitely needs to… and it’s not the one eating chips
Load More Replies...Great... Just went to the cupboard 'cause I remember seeing a bag of chips in there. Must've already eaten them; they're not there now. So I'm eating cashew nuts instead...
Technically, hyenas are actually part of the felidae family, making it closer to getting a new kitten than a new puppy. A friend of mine told me this years ago, and I absolutely didn't believe it at first. But sure enough, it's the case.
Wanna know another "fun" fact? Not really fun but definitely interesting. They are as matriarchal as can be.... As in the female hyenas have developed peusdo-penises that they use for... things... i won't mention. Let us just say It sucks as hard to be a female duck as it does to be a male hyena...

I find it fantastic that these two are good friends in real life. And she's done more prison time than him. 🤣
i remember snoop and another rapper were having a beef a few years back and the other guy said snoop wasn't gangster for being friends with martha. snoops reply was along the lines off she's more gangster than you, when she got jailed she didn't grass up the others and did her time
Load More Replies...Gotta be edibles. She would never be so crass as to smoke it
Load More Replies...Those two together are one of the funniest and coolest friendships.
Small talk with a stranger is an entirely different ballgame. You don’t have anything in common with the other person and know nothing about them, which leaves you with mundane, cliché topics like the weather.
In such cases, Cuncic offers two options: giving a genuine compliment or keeping quiet. You can try the former, but chances are the other person is likely not in the mood for small talk anyway. Feel out the situation and see what works best.
I wonder how Dad kept a straight face while he did it - he definitely knew what was in it!
Once my girlfriend heard her grandmother take one of those vodka bottles out. "What's wrong with this c**p? It tastes like Shiite!"
Maybe I'm being literal here, but who runs to their parents complaining of not having enough money for the weekend's alcohol?

Can any of you native speakers explain if b***h is a good or bad word? If it's bad, why do friends use it as nickname, and if it's bad, why would I have a blue eye if I used it?
Depends on the context. “B***h, I got you!” is OK. “B***h, what the f**k are you doing!” is not
Load More Replies...Might be best to start the convo off asking her what she’s doing next time! Lol
Hasty explanation, "Oh, I see you're with your man now, somehow he was stood next to a fat woman, and you were just behind a display stand for a minute so I couldn't see you! Phew!"
Or just yank the doorhandle really hard once from the outside, giving the person inside the impression that although the door is locked, you may actually pull it from the frame
If Im in the mood, I will answer "yes?" with the same tonation as if I was a boss in my office, and could fire them if I wanted to. I still cant pee, but it gives them their startle back.
Although I get the point here, there’s a reason. In some public restrooms, the setting may be old and not everyone is careful with the doors. They may end up used and have problem to open up if you try too softly. It happened to me to try to open a door (without the red or green lock symbol which lets you know if there’s someone inside), be unable to open it and wait, expecting someone to get out after a while. Only for the janitor to arrive and tell me the door didn’t work very well and was hard to open. I tried again and it opened, there was no one inside. BTW in summer, wood swelling can also make doors slightly harder to open. Therefore people try a few times in a row just in case. Sorry for the folks inside that find it weird, it’s for those reasons. :-)
I actually had someone try to open it, fail, slip their fingers in and unbolt the door, and then look SURPRISED to see me in there. It was amazing.
(This particular door was hung weirdly, allowing for a small space)
Load More Replies...When someone dies that to me, I yell, "Rver hear of knocking???" Then I hope they're waiting outside the door do I can finish my message.
Awkward situations come in many forms. Sometimes, it happens during family gatherings with your in-laws. In this case, you should step aside. According to educator and etiquette expert Sara Jane Ho, you’re better off letting your partner handle things.
“If you want to piss off your in-laws, let your spouse do it, not you,” Ho told CNBC.
The implication here is that you cant ask the company what the salary/€ per hour for X position is... Did i understand wrong? Is that how it is in other parts of the world?
In the US it's illegal to prevent people from discussing salaries, but is still quite common.
Load More Replies...I had an epic quit day. Monday. Wrote my email to the Department Director, ccd the wench, and my employment agency. Then I handed out copies. Packed my box and walked out. Two weeks. She is a known problem who terrorizes her staff. My employment agency, who has placed a lot of people there, has said they will no longer work with this large employer, which is a City agency. If you could see the eyes bug out when the read my resignation. Copies of the copies were circulated.
In many other countries, salaries are discussed openly. In the U.S., employers are afraid that if employees discuss their salaries, they would hsve to establish pay equity,
Meh, in my country anyone can get information on anybodys salary. They are public documents.
Not in the United States. Except new York. City or state, I can't remember.

This is one of my favorite panda post of all time. I had a friend who tried these tactics, we all told him he was gay and he fought us on it, then one day 3 years later he said he was bringing a date to dinner, the date's name was Don (an MSU cheerleader/wrestler..really)We all cheered as soon as they walked in. Excellent delivery by my friend. we were all queer in that house, and we honestly wanted him to accept himself and be happy. He would say stuff all the time totally out of the blue about how *not* gay he was. It's was obvious to us anyway given the posters he had up, the music he was obsessed with, the fact that he said he wanted sex but never once found a woman hot. Beautiful, stylish, sure. But never hot. So I don't mean he "acted gay" one's gender expression or presence of femininity or masculinity doesn't necessarily indicate sexuality, and he was always really masc. So don't start saying you can tell someone is gay by mannerisms. Gaydar really IS a thing tho.
Old guy here and I think she's beautiful and talented and has a great voice. But I'm more of a metal head, so not really into her music.
As I was told the other day: The national anthems at the Olympics are all the same genre - country music.
Haha, I see what you did there. 😂
Load More Replies...100% agree. My taste in music is so eclectic. I don't have a favorite artist, genre, or anything. I grew up with 70s 80s and 90s music being most popular in stores and public places but at home we listen to music from the 20s 30s 40s 50s and 60s, I listen to a ton of jazz and classical, soundtracks from musicals, international music, even today if I were to make a playlist, it would be incomprehensible to most and I'm so glad to hear there are other people out there like me :-)
Preach it! Of course, rap isn't music. (I'm joking! I'm joking!) (No I'm not.)
Have you listened to Kendrick Lamar or Eminem? Their wordplay and metaphors are mind-blowing. Rap is poetry set to a beat. You may not like rap or hip hop but that doesn't mean it isn't music. I personally don't like country music. I have tried to get myself to like it or at least tolerate it, by listening to multiple artists/songs, from different decades and I can confirm that it's just not for me. Country is most definitely still music, just not music, to my ears.
Load More Replies...Pop and Nerdcore for me! (Nerdcore is songs, usually rap, about "nerd" topics such as video games. The Stupendium is my favorite. They (They are non-binary and pansexual) are one of the best nerdcore makers out there! Check them out!)
I still love all of my old favorite songs, I add songs to that list and it grows. I don't stop listening to older favorite songs and replace them with new ones, they just join the ranks of what I love. When it comes to genres I am all over the place but Blues-Based Rock is my favorite.{Aerosmith, the Stones, etc.} I have a little bit of every genre of Rock and Roll from the '60s up to now, I love Funk, Ragge, and Nordic bands are killer like The Northern Kings and all their associated bands. A little country here and there like Mark Chesnutt, Blue Eyed Soul, and '60s/'70s Motown. I love The 69 Eyes and Greta Van Fleet. ᓚᘏᗢ

There are times when someone’s name just slips our minds, and that could be another embarrassing moment. However, you wouldn’t want to come off as rude by doubling down and saying you forgot who they are.
Ho recommends a smoother approach. Say you’d like to keep in touch, then have them input their social media handle or personal number into your phone.
I have a friend who married his husband unofficially before it was legal. The following year they were able to get married legally. The officiant started his speech with "Welcome to the second annual ____ wedding". We had so much fun, I was a little disappointed the following year when there wasn't a third wedding

Feet, carts, horses and at most cows on one, built into softer ground so the stones could move and the sand could take the impact of the weight - other side trucks, cars the weight of baby elephants, non-stop, and a surface that does allow for way faster travel while at the same time not quite as good at dealing with the heavy and fast impacts... do you wanna go back to walking twenty miles into town?
With most roads, it's the freeze/thaw that destroys it. Water seeps in tiny cracks, freezes then makes the cracks a little bigger continuously. The roman road wouldn't have that problem because it's multiple parts that can move slightly when this happens so they don't crack.

As someone living in Indiana, I can attest the to the truth of this post. And, honestly, the amount of times they just patch over the patches over the patches over the potholes, it's pretty much just like cobblestone.

apparently time is slower for dogs and since I found this out I try to be gone as little as possible
If you get the dog tiered enough to want to rest, and give them a good bed, fresh water and treats hidden all around for them to find, they will often find it quite peacefull and Nice. But that is only after they have learned through small and short steps that you always come home - after- they have calmed down.

My cousin LOVED chocolate chip cookies as a toddler. My mom taught her that they were called sh!t. Uncle & aunt & cousin at fancy restaurant for anniversary.

College financial aid officer I knew having a phone conversation with the father of a freshman at the beginning of the spring semester. "There's been a mistake. You just sent my son a letter saying he had lost his scholarship because of poor grades. But that can't be true because I know he got a 4.0 this past fall." The aid officer who knew this student had failed everyone and was currently hiding from college officials in the dorm rooms of friends so that they couldn't kick him off campus: "Sir, you need to talk to your son."
This actually happened to my grandma when my uncle was in elementary school… she was pissed.
We DID have parent teacher conferences my freshman year in college! After they met my Calc I professor, they gave me permission to fail the class. (this was the mother who threw shoes at me for getting a C on a test in 5th grade.)
Why does it have to have a "Nobody" at the beginning? If "People that make animal documentaries" do it, then it's not "Nobody", is it? I understand that the structure works for simple young minds, but it's illogical. It's actually "Nobody else".

The first time my mother took my father home for dinner, and to meet her parents, all went well... After the meal finished, but before everyone adjourned to the living room, my grandfather, still casually chatting away, took a banana from the bowl of fruit on the table, peeled it, threw the skin nonchalantly over his left shoulder, and proceeded to eat said banana, whilst continuing the conversation. My father, watching my grandfather with a somewhat bemused expression, also took a banana from the bowl, peeled it, and just as his future father-in-law had, tossed the skin over his left shoulder, and (apparently) cinched his position as future son-in-law. The fact that he and my grandfather barracked for the same football team might have helped a bit, too.

Because lactose intolerance is not an allergy and can be pre-treated with Lactaid.
Most of the time cheese has little lactose, plus you often don't get as serious symptoms and it definitely doesn't cause the internal trauma that gluten can to coeliacs.

I only discovered my late husband played it when I was going through his phone after he passed. He always ragged on me about my games! 😆
My dad once got mad at me because I answered the phone in .02 seconds, I don’t think my family understands that I am never busy.
1st time I moved out to about 4 blocks away (late 80's), a month goes by and need to call home. I pick up the phone ready to dial and Mum starts talking to me. The phone hadn't rung! I hadn't dialed! MUM HADN'T DIALED EITHER!!! I figured that perhaps we'd picked up our handsets at exactly the same moment and it glitched the system into connecting us, maybe. The town was about 8000 in population, not really big or small either way. I sometimes wonder who got billed for it, but the bills weren't as itemised in those days as they are now.
I have my phone in my pocket, can take it out fast and I learned to type before I learned how to write by hand - any more questions?
I know it's just a joke, but I took the time to think about it and it's fairly simple. It would have been hard for our ancestors to miss the fact that new mothers produce milk. Observing the animals around them would've informed them that other mammals do that, too. You can even come up with a tragic story of a mother dying in childbirth, and her tribe going "Whaddowedo?" and catching a goat with a kid.
And, let's be honest, with seeing mothers breastfeeding all the time, breasts just wouldn't have been fetishised and sexualised in the way they are in some societies now.

The Frenchman who first thought a snail was edible was the strangest. I believe he tried a slug first, but he put salt on it, so...
They’ve been eaten in Africa and other places for many thousands of years. There is evidence of giant snails being eaten 170k years ago, in the now South Africa. The Romans brought them to Britain, and they have been known colloquially as wallfish. I love escargots in butter.

Most animals learn what is safe to eat by watching what others eat. It’s not news
wow how you keep from messing up the covers pal, sure you not dead?
I don't use Facebook so I am not sure. Does this mean you never bothered to add them as a friend or that they 'unfriended' you?
The exhaustion when you call on a holiday and they say, "Let me pass you around."
Ohhhh goooodd. I am legit avoiding going back to my OG country because of this exact thing. I dont wanna entertain the 12th second cousin i have met for 20 seconds in my entire life...

He was showing that the measurement of a coastline can vary enormously depending on how closely you measure it. If you think of measuring the distance between two towns, for example, you could use a map and a piece of string for a flat measurement (the 'as the crow flies' distance' or you could measure it on the ground so that every rise and fall of the land increases the distance compared to the flat-line measurement. He's doing the same thing, but following the shape of the coastline at the scale of the contours formed by the water line at low tide. The closer together he puts the nails, the more accurate the contour line will be and so the greater the length of the coastline.
If it's a thin layer of sand over the bedrock, yes.

It is the advertisers that matter most. If a person can pick the videos Then how in the hell can the ad agencies BE SURE the underage kids will watch Logan Paul promoting bitcoin gambling to them?
One time, I woke up, fed my cat, showered, got dressed for work and then... opened my eyes again. I was still naked in bed. The whole thing had been a dream. It was very disorienting.

Many years ago, I opened my own shop (long story.... not still open.... but I digress) I actually had my ex-boss (down the street) come into my shop, and tell me he hoped it failed because he needed me back. When the shop failed (not my fault... had a partner who pulled the rug out from under me) I said f**k it and left town.
wow they really hate you for some reason, maybe they can't do the job without you there.
Me to a T....and when someone says something about it I yell "I'M ON VACATION!!!"
For variety I used to write all 20 lines one letter at a time. "I, I, I, I, I, ... W, W, W, W, W.... i, i, i, i, i...
"This is not allowed, you have to do it the real way" is what I was told the only time I was given this punishment but did it like you said 😆

My Spanish teacher last year made us write a word and translation 1000 times if we got it wrong.
I had to write "I will not disturb other students when I finish my work." I was in 2nd grade. 😄 They finally started sending me to the library to read and write reports. Or to the kindergarten & 1st grade classes to help the teachers, just to keep me busy. And I had to write "I will not talk in class." until i was in 4th grade! 😆
My parents had, "I will not cuss. It is not nice." 250 times for the first time, 500 for the 2nd, and 1000 for the 3rd. Then add 1000 for every bad word after. I didn't cuss as a kid but I'm basically a cussing sailor now. Oh well. Oh we also had, "I will not miss the bus" I had to write that one quite a few times :p
Nope, no cell phones or computers back then, unfortunately 😕

Those are the lids that cover to-go pasta dishes, pretty cute idea :)

Load More Replies...Housing market crashes often come with high interest rates for mortgages, so if not planning to buy largely in cash, this strategy may not work so well :(
If the housing market crashes, the economy crashes with it and millenials get even farther away from being able to afford housing. When property prices in China fell by just a few percent due to excessive building and oversupply it caused a recession. A drop of 20% would cause an economic depression that a country might take decades to recover from.
Figured out I'm getting older. Left a full shift at 830 pm, intending to drive 14 hrs to N Car. Got as far as S WV, needed a cat nap. Something about seeing the sun again without sleep does it every time.
Even sleeping 4 hrs after shift on Friday morning, you are still exhausted.
In certain households (im Mexican) you throw on whatever shoes are closest to the door to help get the groceries when your parent gets home with them. Doesnt matter whos they are or if they fit. You just grab and go.

And look how society has latched onto it being "for boys" since. It's almost like kids can and will play with whatever is available and society decides in denial of this fact what's "meant for" what gender...
