  I watched "First Man" and found it sluggish and without any excitement. Armstrong came across having one tone and presented as a smug fellow. I hope that wasn't who he was. On the other hand the presentation of all the technical stuff, lift off, emergencies et all: were superb.

  Asylum Caravan

  alright, so what is the deal with the thousands coming to the states right at election time seeking asylum?

  i'm not up on this, usually try not to be, but how can this not be manipulative?

  it's either manipulative in the size of the group and pressure that creates, or in where it started or who started this, etc.

  Don't forget the worst thing of all, they have athlete's foot. Oh the humanity. C'mon, of course they are coming en mass, there is strength in numbers. They cannot be simply ignored or quietly dealt fake court appointments so easily. No one on the left told Trump to separate families.

  I still don't understand why they don't prefer Mexico for asylum. Advantages: Shorter walk, same language.

  I was a teen and didn't buy into the BS about knowing the year. I do remember that they quoted a scripture from Hez? that said something about "He, Jehovah, will not do anything without telling his friends, the prophets first." I thought that was lame. I do admit I caved to the peer pressure not to go to college. I went inactive instead, lol. Idiots. After 11 years the magnet of guilt pulled me back in. What a dope. Then I faded and went to college in my 40's. So YES, the hoopla screwed me out of an education in my youth, 18.

  i had not seen my dad for 15 years because i had left the borg.

  (i had been out 26 years but there was a few years when the jws permitted contact with outsiders and then changed their minds again).

  they made contact with me again just before he was diagnosed with cancer.

  Funerals are for the living not the dead so I get where your mom would want her favorite song. The insensitive witness walked down the isle may have wanted to let you know that your dad didn't miss out on walking someone down the isle because you were not available. What motive that may have been is unknown. Sorry for your loss.

  With the foxes watching the chickens, anything's possible. It's all cyclical anyway. If the Saudi's get pissed we'll have another 1973 oil embargo on our hands. Can't wait to see how that plays out.

  Sears had become the home of disinterested sales personnel, filthy floors, poorly stocked shelves and rising prices. I gave up on them years ago because it became an exercise in customer abuse. Not sorry to see it go.

  Should kids learn cursive handwriting?

  by GrreatTeacher in

  1. social
  2. current

  i am an elementary school teacher of the fourth grade.

  in times past, students would start learning cursive handwriting in third grade and by fourth should be transitioning to writing in cursive at all times.

  as you might be aware, this has all but been taken out of the curriculum.

  When the grid goes down those who are untaught cursive will be lost.
