  1. My son just started kindergarten. He attends a charter school in the Atlanta Public School system (APS). His schedule is 8-4 Monday through Thursday, and 8-1 on Friday. We can drop him off as early as 710, and they provide free breakfast and lunch (free breakfast and lunch is APS wide in an attempt to improve attendance) They also offer free after care, but you have to sign up for it at the beginning of the school year, and if you don't use it every day they can remove you from the program. My son is in class the entire time. They have a bunch of neat programs to fill out the day. He has a spanish, chess, robotics, and a dance class. The adjacent highschool is on the same schedule, but I can't speak to their class structure.

    I've spent countless times over the years writing lengthy posts with your assumption, but I never really got the sense it did any good since I never received any follow up from these alleged lurkers. Even if they exist, I'm still not sure it's worth the time it takes to write everything out. :p 

    We exist. I don't post much because I need an in person dialogue in order to flesh out my own arguments. This probably doesn't make any sense, but there are few arguments that I enter into with a definitive perspective. I may have a strong opinion on something, but I'm not always sure why. The back and forth (I'm a drummer; call and response is life) helps resolve that for me. Otherwise I almost feel like I'm arguing with myself. 

     

    All that to say, don't post on my account, but I do appreciate it.

    I also think it's interesting the world that's part of what the Avengers defend.

     

    They call this monumental event a fucking blip.

     

    I dunno if that's pivotal, but the fact that half of humankind was erased and they say people blipped is a big eye-opener for me as to what the culture is on this planet. :lol: 

     

     

    I get it. I'm just fuckin' around, :p 

    Yeah that does seem weird.  I took it more like a blip on radar... there one second, gone the next.

    He should go to the Astros on a 2 year deal, they’ll get him sorted out.

    The Astros seem to do better with former Braves. I would just wait and see who doesn't get resigned lol

  5. I'm not really sure why, but John Malkovich makes me want to gouge my eyes out. I know that he is a good actor, but I just can't. Every SNL Christmas special with him reading The Night Before Christmas makes me want to throw myself off of an overpass. The scene in Being John Malkovich where he entered his own body almost makes me have a psychotic break.... maybe I should talk to someone about this lol

  6. My son just started his 4th week of kindergarten. He attends a Purpose Built School, which I had never heard of before. They are built in underfunded neighborhoods to help working families. They start earlier, finish later, and have a schedule that is more conducive to a working family. I think it's awesome that such a thing exists, even if we don't need it. Free lunch, breakfast, and after school care. He is 1 of 4 white kids in the entire school lol

     

    Edit: I'm not entirely sure what I was loling, but whateves.

    White woman in her mid-thirties laying in a hospital gurney, nearly dead from Ebola: "Wait...does it cause autism?"

    All kidding aside, they are very hostile/distrusting of outsiders. My wife was almost deployed (CDC) to the DRC. I told her to quit if it ended up happening. It just isn't worth the risk. Hats off to the folks actually giving it a go.
