Ahh. But, the real problem is, how can a pessimist embrace their optimist side.

Timely. It happened to me not five minutes ago. But, as per instructions, I won’t talk about it here. Just reading all these friendly comments should do the trick.

In retrospect, perhaps you should have stopped laughing and engaged those *SOME* in dialogue. 

If the bathroom is a single use, I have been known to use the ladies room if the mens is taken. But, if I’m doing so, I always put the toilet seat down before I leave. Men’s room? I don’t care and neither do the men who will come after me. 

Uh, I’ve never seen you in class before...

There’s nothing like anything fried in schmaltz. My father used to make matzot brei with schmaltz. Yum. Of course, if you want to live a long and healthy life, schmaltz is not the way you want to go. Oy, my heart! 

I’d like to add, I have created three Google Art & Culture exhibitions for the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC, where I work. You might enjoy those as well.

Guys, don’t put your wallet in your back pocket. It will tilt your pelvis and you’ll get very uncomfortable. This is especially true when driving long distances. 

It’s different if you live in D.C. and work for the federal government. 

Thx!!

Before you toss your 6s, give it time to reindex your stuff. This will initially slow your phone down. 

I have a number of posters that fit the bill. Here’s one:

What if you don’t need a new phone every two years (I’m in the tech sector and still have my 3 yo 6s)? 

I’d like to know if it now allows me to attach a photo while I’m in the mail app, instead of having to go to the photo and send an email from the photo (one of the things that has bugged me for way too long).

That’s a good one. 

The answer to your question about why profs still require word counts: because they’re lazy or uninspiring teachers. I agree with you 100%. If the content is good, it doesn’t matter how many words it is. And, if the content is bad, no amount of extra words will help.

I’ve said this before on another thread. I was a college prof for 23 years. I got so sick of students coming up to me at the beginning of the semester to ask, “What do I need to do to get an A?”, I came up with this schematic:

Except you’re in school and you’re supposed to be learning something about the subjects you’re taking. As a dad who’s paid/paying for two college educations, I want my children to learn, not learn how to cut corners. There will be more than enough time in their lives to learn that. 

I’m a graphic designer and photographer. So, a good camera has always been one of the most important factors in my decision on what iPhone to buy. I still have my 6s and have been pretty happy with it. It’s 3 years old. But, looks and acts new.

I love good tasting coffee. Rich and strong. Trader Joe’s coffees are quite good. I go for darker roasts.
