Even after all those chances!

I was once Sunday School co-chair, which was pretty fun

I think in my bookbinding class we just used elmer's glue mixed with some water and applied with a paintbrush.

oh, Japanese has special counting words for just about everything it seems like--they go after the number depending on the thing you're counting, and the first few are often irregular. It's a real pain in the butt. Counters for cylindrical objects, pieces of paper, people, etc. I guess it's like hea...

I think I knew about "sperm" and "egg", but it was all very abstract to me until the sex education video we watched at school in 6th grade.

Yeah, it's disappointing when you know your students are capable of writing well and then don't

I agree that getting a PhD is often overrated. But it also sounds like the question-asker wants to do it and have an adventure.

I say the same thing multiple times. I give examples. I even ask the specific students I'm worried about if they understand how to do it, and if they are going to do it in their paper. They demonstrate to me that they can do it. And then they make the same stupid mistake in their paper. I wish I co...

to me, it's not so much institutional support (because there are other members out there who agree that some of our LDS traditions are false)--it's more a way to bond with other members. But I'm in primary now, so I don't get as many opportunities to make trouble, which is less stressful overall for...

aww I hope you have a happy un-birthday on a different day.

my opinion is like mic0's; I read a ton when I was a kid and there was no way my parents could have screened all my reading. I think it's good to guide children to books that are appropriate for them, but I also think books are a good way to get to know more adult topics. My opinion will probably ch...

When I was dating, if I asked a guy out and he was busy or didn't respond, I figured it was time for him to pick things up from there. Most guys who weren't interested in me simply ignored me?

one of my student employees took the LSAT today too! I hope your brain was able to perform under pressure.

What is a spinny ring? It sounds fun.

I think it's fun a socially useful to wear a ring, and also I think that it shouldn't have to be expensive. I understand if certain people don't want to wear a ring though (in some professions it's a hazard).

It sucks for young people on group plans who have to subsidize the healthcare of menopausal women and heart attack-y men. So, I'm with you that this situation sucks for your employer, but isn't the point of insurance that healthy people contribute to the exorbitant healthcare costs of the unhealthy...

well darn! sorry man

yes, make a poll. Or invite everyone to a doodle poll, that's what we use at my work for non-outlook meetings
