I have saved and sent in all my rebate receipts for many years now. Mine usually take 3 to 4 weeks to arrive. For the dollar amount you mentioned it would be worth checking to see why you haven't received it. Maybe your mail person is intercepting them? 

Left your incognito tab open again didn't ya?

Shetland Pony. The kids love ‘em.

As goes OPS, so goes the rest of the city.

Sadly, this meeting was held way late because well..."normal" people should not be allowed on a school board, only educators should be allowed on it.  So now we have OPS teachers back in the building with new teachers back in the building a week ago...and NOW there is a meeting.  There should have been two meetings every week since April.

@teachercd couldn’t agree more.  

I love beaches almost as much as I hate crowded beaches.

I absolutely hate big crowds like that, so that beach would be hell for me.  However, the fam went to Lake Mac last week and it was fun.  We were there on Monday and Tuesday, so wasn't dealing with any crowds, thankfully.

I'll gladly take the local lake where we pull our boat up to the point with about 5-10 other boats.  A beach like that doesn't look fun to me.  I'll take a beach with very few people any day.

@funhusker watch Malcolm Reed on How to BBQ right, youtube.  Dude is amazing!!!

His smoked shrimp, my god!

His pork belly burnt ends, WOW

I once tried smoking a beef roast for a "faux brisket".  I put on so much salt for a rub, it was like I was trying to bring meat across the Atlantic on the Mayflower.

Needless to say, it didn't turn out well.

I once made that mistake with ribs that were pre-cut, instead of still being a rack. Turns out if you season the sides, too, it's way too much seasoning.

How would you feel if your school district did nothing- like mine? I’m furious as a tax payer. And it’s not the teachers fault- it’s the districts. 
 

Praise to all the teachers who are finding a way to do their thing. you all are some creative and resilient mammals! 

@krc1995 yeah, that’s no good!

Im definitely glad we’re doing something.  I’m giving kids 2 options for assignments: a computer based one they can do on the couch or a more active one like measuring rooms in there homes or taking inventory of light bulbs.

I don’t want to give too much, but we’re also not done with school.  My only “issue” is our districts “requirement” to use Zoom to meet for class. I normally “lectured” my classes for about 5 minutes (maybe a half hour per week), now I’m holding them captive for an hour a week.  I’m making it work, but a learning curve for sure!

My kid's school is using google classroom, which hasn't had any issues that I'm aware of but I hear a lot of complaints about zoom from other parents. His 3rd grade teacher gives assignments for the whole week on Monday morning and then meets for 30-60 every M-W-F. My son really likes it because he can get the work done early in the week and basically have a long weekend.

Since he's getting things done so early in the week, I've been making him watch an educational video with me every day that he gets to pick (he usually picks science or nature).

Yeah, your principal's idea is sane!  The other idea is insane.

Can you give them logic puzzles to do in the breakout rooms, I mean, that is at least in the ballpark of what you team, sort of.  You are in a tough spot!

I am so glad I teach Sanskrit...Something that is easy to do over zoom and super useful!  

I'm adamant that what I teach will still be industrial tech.  I have a coworker at a different school doing things like "logic" puzzles and inventor research.

It the district leaved it to me to do whatever I want, I'm going to the pasture with a bucket of balls and giving a Zoom lesson on "angles" and "measurement", a.k.a. loft and distance...

I'm licking my chops over an admin saying I should make my lessons more "engaging" and "fun"!

Maybe do a lesson on the chemistry behind "home brewing"...hey! that's fun!

Our focus group said this would be effective. 

OK I'm glad I'm not the only one that was getting this. I was starting to wonder what that said about my browsing habits.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Maybe IU's AD needs to give his balls a tug and realize every team in the country would rather play Indiana than Ohio State. I mean really, what is that guy smoking?

they reached as far as they could to find the disrespect they needed

Is that a problem? Maybe Huskerboard is trying to tell you something. It is ok to turn to the dark side. 

It is the way of the new world!!!!

The organization Sleeping Giants has run a very successful pressure campaign geared towards getting websites to nuke specific ads on their sites - ones for sites they found objectionable.

So it stands to reason that websites who sell ad space have some kind of mechanism to block specific advertisers. Will they? Highly doubt it.

Why don't they just run the ads we really want to see?

1.  Booze

2.  Porn

3.  Food

How hard is it???  This is the internet!!!

@commando Yes, dear? 

He’s not even waiting for 2fiddy, he’s basically discussing politics outside of P&R now. What a treat he’ll be when he's allowed full access.

@Mods for the win!!!

I have friends who live in the Louisville area and Wahoo. What a mess! They’re just waiting/watching hoping the river will start to recede so that the water doesn’t get into their house!

Funny story. Like 1990 or 1992, Penn State got sent to the Coliseum for a regional. They were 42-0, and had lost like four sets all season. We could only fit 4,000 in the Coliseum for a match, but we sounded like 10,000. 

Maybe game two of the match, Penn State has four hits that were seen by everyone but the officials. Pettit was pissed, Noth was pissed, and the fans were livid. PSU got the point, there was an argument after the play, bedlam. But the call stood.

So the fans started helping the officials out. Every time Penn State touched the ball, we counted. ONE. TWO. THREE. Next time, ONE, TWO, THREE. Louder and louder. It was the loudest sporting event I've ever been to. Dust was literally falling off the roof beams. 

It rattled Penn State.  Bad. Steve, the PA announcer, had to tell the fans to stop. So we stopped. But every hit, every block, every dig, we erupted. Noise like a wall. 

We beat Penn State 3-1 that night. I think my ears were ringing for two days afterward. 

I know this isn't the same thing. I just think it's a cool story.

That is a cool story. Nothing will piss off a crowd faster than the refs missing a fourth touch or a clearly blown in/out line call.

Is that match on you tube?

@tmfr15hell no. Case-in-point: Penn State. 

You have the right coach, can get the right recruits, and install the right culture and program, you can rebound quickly. Plus it's not like other successful coaches haven't encountered a mass exodus before and rebounded quickly. 

But with 20 scholarships to play with, here's hoping we spread some love to walk-ons who have stepped up.

I want to believe in a quick turnaround. However, Christian Hackenberg. That's the five star qb recruit that the former Lions coach hauled in. And he was gone before Penn State had recovered. If you're talking Franklin era, bad news there is that we are recruiting players needing development not ready made studs who can roll in and lift us to a higher level. Franklin recruits at a higher level.

We can do both. There's nothing that says we can't.

@Enhance That's what makes me nervous.  Mooching my sister's passwords "may or may not" be what I was doing. But I did have that F1 racing on for about 2 hours this morning with no problem.  Maybe they handle the "higher rated" programming differently?   I'll see how the games go this Thursday, luckily I'll have access to TV's hooked up to cable on Saturday.

For sure. Let me know how it goes because I'm interested to see if this is the case.

So YOU were the one who broke the Internet last night!  I wondered who did it.  Hrmphhhh. 

I helped and we finished the list:

1. Nick Saban

2. Urban Meyer

3. Bill Belichek

4. Scott Frost

5. Dabo Swinney

I'll take it!!!!

Rich Glover would have been a monster in the 2009 defense, I can tell you that. Would he have been Ndamukong Suh? Hard to say. Also hard to say if Suh would have been Rich Glover in 1971.

I think Suh would've done just fine in the early 70's. Clubbing, stomping and rag dolling people wasn't illegal then, it was just considered football. 

Can you imagine Suh going up against 240lb offensive linemen?  Oh lawd.

Me and a couple buddies always joke that Callahan looks like he's going to be sick. Probably why I laughed so hard.

I liked it...and they kept it short.

That's why there needs to be booze...plenty of booze.

@Comfortably Numb, I was driving and one of my middle school students was babysitting the kids, booze was pretty minimal for me  

In a situation like that, I reccomend opening with a story about your first wet dream.  Really breaks the ice.

Was she Purdy?

So you don't claim to know who she is or what she did.  In other words: U G L Y, SHE AIN'T GOT NO ALIBI, SHE UGLY, YEAH YEAH SHE UGLY.

That was a good movie.

Good point, @Comfortably Numb. I think it is ironic that the election is in 2020. Hopefully, we, as a country, have enough hindsight to not make the same mistake twice.

The Rock, Oprah and Trump....how can we possibly hope to come up with better candidates than that? 

Remember when the movie Idiocracy seemed ridiculously unrealistic?
