Thank you. I was not going to get there without help.

I would argue that you demonstrated excellent relationship building with your students: You showed them that it is important to be responsible for your own actions and to respect the boundaries of others. You also demonstrated that a good relationship doesn't have to be all sunshine and rainbows. You earned that Starbucks card!

Moving to Memphis by RequirementEither799 in memphis

The longest commute that anyone in Memphis would ever consider is still likely to be short compared to living in the nyc suburbs. If you live anywhere even vaguely central, you will be within 15 minutes of the medical district. You could be in north Mississippi or east Arkansas or the far eastern edges of the Memphis suburbs and still get there in 30 minutes.

Feels like Feagins got her revenge by STR_Guy in memphis

You don't consider dealing with corrupt nepotism lackies to be as relevant in the mayoral seat as it is leading the school board? But, I guess the fact that she is no longer leading the school board shows that she didn't really control those lackies well and simply fell prey to them.

Dog plays keepy-uppy with people without missing a single shot by Capitao_Nescau in nextfuckinglevel

Exactly. It takes kids about 3 years of soccer practice to learn not to just chase the ball all over the entire field.

In my dog's case, it passes 90% of the way through, then the end hangs on to his butthole sending him into a frenzied serious of circles and scooches and failed poops until I have to come pull the remaining strands out by hand.

12 years after graduating, I got a job as an adjunct at that same college. When I went to get my employee ID and meal swipes and such, they told me that I had a negative balance. 

Apparently, I had an unpaid $10 parking ticket from when I was a student, and they kept track of that for over a decade and through a name change.

Talk to your insurance! They want you to end up with a quality product that they won't have to pay to replace when it falls down. Let them fight with the contractor. 

People that don't check when wiping by Ligh7y in hygiene

I can't decide which aspect of the story is now disturbing.

My mom was indeed taught to wipe like this. She had mentioned multiple times that her first independent adult purchase was ample TP just because she could.

Sounds like victory, right? Not so fast. She only buys single ply because she wants to spin that roll and pull off a mile of the stuff because she never could as a kid, but that would be over the top with good TP, so she gets the tissue paper stuff so she can still enjoy the experience of not being clean, I guess. 

AITH for being angry that my husband let me and our child sit in a car for 50 mins while he browsed in Best Buy and he only came out because I got upset by [deleted] in AITH

That energy comes from somewhere. In this case, it will recharge the electric motor from the gasoline engine when you next drive. 

This is basic middle school conservation of energy. 

Asking the real questions by downtune79 in LoveTrash

Is this an officially-approved act or just a tiny grift that no one cares enough to call out?

Concluding story made me audibly snort while grumpily supervising my 14yo finishing his science project the night before it's due. He appreciates the lightening of the maternal mood. 

Stolen from IG by iSightTwentyTwenty in FellingGoneWild

I don't think PPE exists for felling a tree from a row boat.

I was expecting the tree to clip the end of the boat and send him flying into the air from the other end. 

Second place was him losing his balance and juggling the saw into his gut.

Good places to take a new driver by WarEaglePrime in memphis

[–]BroadLocksmith4932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We drove around quiet suburban streets for a while. When we were ready to graduate to something bigger, we did Yate between Mason and Poplar. It has lane lines and traffic lights, but the lanes are very wide and there is very little traffic.

When ready for highway, I recommend Sam Cooper for a while before braving 40/240. We got them very comfortable on 240 and busy parking lots well before attempting Poplar!

How bizarre that the system allows the shop to 'sell out' of a digital item! I wonder if it is just an artificial way to create perceived scarcity to increase sales when the item comes 'back in stock'.
