Still hurts to see this gif. Oh, Hank... after all this time...

Dude, this looks a LOT like Star Wars.

Like, a better route would be to have each kid complete a task in the classroom like cleaning up the play area, picking up their books and pencils before recess, not talking during quiet time or disrupting class, etc. If one of them fails to do that, the class doesn't get whatever reward that week. That DOES create a…

Yeah, uh... I hear you, but that is NOT a good way to teach that lesson to 5-6 year olds and I can't believe a teacher thought that was okay in the first place. At that age, your ability to learn and memorize a list is not so much related to your motivation/"personal responsibility" as it is to your a) ability to…

OMG I totally understand, and I'm so glad I could help. I, too, have fought to maintain the delicate balance between offending people and going broke. I promise that once you get to America, you'll realize that 99% of the situations you'll be in will not require tipping, and you're going to know the remaining 1% when…

P.S. I can't think of a situation in which you would tip in retail. Being kind and polite is important, which I know you won't have trouble with, and in the "higher-end," specialized retail stores, many employees work on commission, which is the closest thing to tipping in that world. Unfortunately, many businesses…

Even as an American, it can be very confusing. I never know whether to tip at places where I order and pick up food to go at a counter, for example, since there is a "Tip" line on the receipt, even though there wasn't "serving" per se. In those instances, I play it by ear. I also didn't know until recently that…

May I also recommend...

I've actually had it bookmarked on my phone and PC browsers so that I could track it down for my graduation in a few weeks. Now I am triple-motivated.

I don't know what it is, but this post makes me really happy. You seem really bright and cool and I'm glad you have made a good life for yourself. Makes me happy to see good people with good digs.

Holy cow. I'm curious as to what she started screaming. Like, I can't even imagine what words someone would scream in response to "the school called, your daughter is sick" so all I can picture is just her going, "AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!" surrounded by racks of sweatshirts.

The Dig has a puzzle that was notorious for causing players to give on up the entire game in frustration, I wonder if it was the one that stopped you? About 1/2 way through there is an alien skeleton lying on the banks of a river that you need to cross—in order to progress, the player must re-arrange the creature's…

That is the funniest thing I've read in 100 years. That is a GOOD joke.

Thanks so much again. :) I just applied on the authorship thread, but I feel like they may wanna wait until I've posted more things! Either way, thank you for your very kind words. :)

Right on, dude! Thank you! AND YOU WILL NEVER ALTER DRAPES IN ATLANTA AGAIN BECAUSE YOU DO *NOT* CROSS A SUGARBAKER WOMAN!

WAHOO! Thanks so much, y'all are too kind! It's like Christmas for my heart. I just got a notification saying "Groupthink started following you" so I don't know what that means?

I'll check it out right now! :D

I'm here because of you guys. :) If GroupThink is the place to be, I'd be happy to ditch this main page garbage and go there. I don't know how the application process works, but I would love to join you.
