Growing up, when you got dressed for school or to go out in public, did you ever have a parent tell you to go back and change your outfit?

Yes, and I took issue with it

Yes, but looking back, they were right to tell me to do so

Yes, and I was indifferent to the situation

Yes, but it only happened like once or twice

No, this never happened to me

If this did happen to me, I don’t remember it

I said I don't remember, but more I think about it likely to a strong yes. Not because of being inappropriate, more because of weather. Something too hot or too cold.

For the most part I dressed fairly normally in high school. When I got in with the art room crowd in 9th grade, I started to dye my hair black and wear solid colors (white shirts under black long sleeves with black or brown corduroy pants and grey and black Airwalks). In 10th grade, that escalated to band tees and chains on wallets as well as Doc Martens and JNCO jeans with lots of random patches (or the cheap Bugle Boy knockoffs I had). In 11th grade the hair became all sorts of random colors...some with dayglo polkadots, stripes, and stars. I started wearing long coats in the winter months, and the clothing trended towards darker colors. Senior year I wore just about whatever I wanted. Some of it intentionally outlandish and made to provoke. My mom aided and abetted me the whole time. Bleaching my hair, buying me clothes, shoes, chains, glasses, etc. She bought me a ring in the shape of a skull at the start of Senior Year and I wore it every day (and kept wearing it until 2002).

My mom and I had fun pushing the envelope just enough. Some of those memories of her dying my hair ever more outlandish colors are some of the last memories I have of her before she died in July of 2000.

If you went to high school, did you actually have a "homeroom" period that you went to every day?

Yes

We had designated homeroom classes but only went there for special occasions (eg. before an assembly)

Our first period class doubled as homeroom

We didn't have a homeroom class

I believe it started as yes, but eventually homeroom was between 1st and 2nd period and you just stayed in the 1st period class.

rhediix

It was complicated.

Our HS was 7-12 and initially we didnt have homerooms at all. Then in 9th grade, we got homerooms, but they were primarily for special events (for instance Pep Rallies or guest speakers) we would stage in the classrooms and then be called down to the auditorium or gymnasium by classroom. Since we only had a handful of pep rallies per year and likely one guest speaker in a whole year, you never really thought about your homeroom.

In fact the concept of a homeroom became so unpopular that the following year they did away with it again and we simply went to the last class of the day and would be excused to whatever event we were having from that classroom.

The following year in light of the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing and lockdowns becoming more frequent (and bomb threats being called in) homerooms returned as emergency lockdown locations. By this time the school was 9-12 with the 7-8 graders getting a newly built school. I recall once in 11th grade being put on school buses and driven across the road to the mall where we sat in the parking lot for close to three hours while they combed through the school because of a threat that had been called in. We went to the buses by homeroom numbers.

Senior year the Homeroom concept actually became closer to what it was supposed to be. We had homeroom periods of 15 minutes at the top of each day. Ostensibly it was there to ensure students listened to the morning announcements, and ask any questions of the teacher (who usually didn't have any answers). Our homeroom teacher was a US Government teacher and was a well known wisecracker. He would tell us dirty jokes for about ten minutes after the announcements. Homeroom was also not a mandatory thing. They never took roll in homeroom so if you missed it (or like me, was involved in making your visual arts portfolio for colleges) they wouldn't mind. Most of my day was spent in the independent studio room in senior year.

Did you listen to the radio to find out about a snow day while growing up?

Yes

I lived in Florida so …. no. But there was a hurricane day once. Actually I was asleep when the announcements were made and woke my parents later in a panic. They were letting me and my brother sleep in. Anyways the hurricane was Andrew.

rhediix

With a unique caveat: typically it'd be on the TV. On a few occasions they called it on account of the weather while I was en route to school (I was in Latchkey in grade school and got to the school around 6:55am), in Junior and Senior High our day began at 7:15, so we were all there by 6:45 typically. Anyhow, I can recall multiple times in grade school where the snow day was called prior to 8:00am (grade school started at 9:00) and they called our parents back to get us. My parents worked downtown and really couldn't get back to get me, so they'd have my half brother come get me instead. In HS we had the day called while on a bus headed towards the school. The bus driver would stop, say school was cancelled, and rerun the route in reverse from where he was currently. Once you left the house the radio was your only indication of closure. And 90% of the time our district was open even when our neighboring districts were off.

After the rabbit hole I just inadvertently went down I think I need a six hour long comedy festival to ever make me smile or feel happy about anything ever again. Holy shit. I mean ...they say the truth hurts but man, I just want to kick back and laugh at some slapstick or something.

I'll be fine. Sometimes it's just a lot.

Seriously: you all should head on over to my wife's poll tumblr. It's fast and fun (and eventually I'm sure we'll figure out a way to make it into a podcast). 😁

Something I will never truly understand is the compunction to destroy expensive football jerseys based upon nothing more than your favorite team member leaving your team.

So Baltimore really wanted Maxx Crosby. They traded a ton to get him (and ostensibly upset the Bengals who were also likewise interested in his services). Crosby is still injured, however and failed his physical likely because it's still too soon after his surgery to be attempting the things he's doing. So the deal fell apart. Crosby ended up committing with the Raiders, and Baltimore went after the next best thing and picked up Hendrickson from the Bengals.

Now, I get it. Inter-division rivalries and all that jazz. But hold up for just a second and bear with me. I have a solid question for my fellow ticked off Cincinnatians. Why exactly are we throwing around phrases like 'betrayal' and 'turncoat' when this is really neither? Trey is a pro athlete. He's contracted. It isn't 1956 and one guy does not play for one team 95% of his career. Your favorite player will eventually leave. It's a fact. The ones who retire for their teams are a rare breed. I don't get the blind hate for a player who the team won't continue shelling money out for leaving so we have more to spend on other players. I don't get the fans spewing hate at him and destroying the jerseys they paid $150 for at the pro shop. I mean glad you've got all that disposable income to be doing that, my dude.

Yes, your favorite player might well end up on a rival team in your division. Deal with it. Life goes on. It's not worth all of this drama. Some people are already comparing it to the Carson Palmer debacle. And honestly, I don't get the hate there either.

Palmer was mightily pissed with the franchise and the front office and wanted out. That's the short of it. All the other stuff about him screwing the team over and the fans is drama. It's really not even worth it to be mad about in the end. Palmer got what he wanted; he left and Dalton came in. Life went on. And honestly for all the anger and vitriol hurled by fans at the 'cheap front office' of the team, Palmer should be your hero, not a pariah. He figured out what was what long before all the current fans who love to hate the front office for precisely that same reason. And yet, people still burn jerseys.

Ooh. Big scary, for real. Go on and torch that jersey. The only one who is losing money is you. The player and team have already made their money off of it. I get the symbolism, you're mad. But if you really really stop and think about it: why are you mad? Because a player's done with your team? Because he took a payday and went to a rival? Do you get that mad when your coworker finds a job that pays more at Citibank when you're working at Chase?

Besides all of the furor surrounding this: Hendrickson is old for a player. He's been injured A LOT lately. Baltimore is getting a player on his last few years, with a potential to show some life in there, but most columnists would tell you he won't be there for very long. And if this really really is about him retiring a Bengal, then I don't know what to tell anyone. Trey kept saying over and over he wanted to be on the team, and help the team out. But honestly: what would he say? No, I hate it here fuck off? Come on. He's a professional. He knows his job. Don't get caught up on that. Because yeah, every star player for every team EVER in every league EVER is going to say that while they're playing for that team. That's kind of just what you do.

But burning jerseys? Stomping around and looking like an absolute fool on Instagram and YouTube? Come on. Are you looking for a real reason to be pissed off? Because maybe you need to take the blinders off and look at the state of the country and the world at large. Players leaving for rival teams? You'll get over it.

And yes. I know there's extenuating circumstances. But really a lot of that is hyper inflated and played up by the media. Just take a deep breath and get on with life.

Ssshh don't say anything

I did not win a single Super Bowl bet. I had over 80. And before anyone freaks most were like $0.25.

Seriously. Not. A. Single. One. Hit.

Thank God as I said 98% were under a dollar because I would be pissed if I lost thousands if not more.

Sadly, there are people out there who did just that.

PS I think the total amount invested was around $37 and some of that came from winnings from other wagers earlier, like NHL.

I don't know why I am trying to justify this or explaining my actions. I have no issue with it nor should anyone else.

Still winning something. Anything. Would have been nice. LOL.

Did you know that myself, my husband, and our friend have a Wild West inspired RPG podcast?

I play Henrietta "Henry" Dow a former trick shot performer in a traveling act/circus, turned gunslinger, but now is trying to find out exactly what type of person she wants to be. With new found friend and partner...

Lucian "Lucky" Noit (played by Ian) a card shark and straight shooter with a mysterious past that always seems to find him. He is trying his best to put good into the world.

Together the two are a good team and work to make the town of McKeegan's Bluff just a little bit better...

And Jason is the narrator (aka DM) and all the characters we interact with.

It's a lot of fun and not to toot my own horn or theirs, but I think we do a really good job and put on an entertaining show.

I think there's nuance that needs to be discussed. Taxes *can be* a good and necessary thing if you are using them to fund things that need to be paid for such as your nation's healthcare system, or funding research into disease prevention and cures. The list gets exhaustively long but for instance on a local level cities wouldn't survive without taxes that pay for sanitation, public transportation, libraries, schools, city hospitals, heck even some cities operating budgets themselves come from taxes. Taxes pay for pleasure too: stadiums, arenas, and music performance venues are all built with funding coming from it. And all of that is needed.

It's when the money starts getting moved around to fund nefarious causes and gets usurped by unscrupulous actors that problems begin to emerge.
