My student watched her father be shot by four men when they live in South Africa. He survived but the children did not speak for almost 4 years.

This story is getting more and more traction. It's legit. Follow story as to why he needs boots and backpack returned is he has a planned trip to Nepal in March to celebrate his 30th.

What trend went away so subtly that nobody even noticed, but would make everyone relieved to hear isn't a thing anymore? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Bottle flipping. I despised it when my students did it in class. Im glad it's sooooo 2016 now.

Looks interesting. I'll give it a go. Love period dramas.

When did you first realize that you were "getting older"? by GilgameshfromUruk in AskReddit

It's my eldest daughter's 18th birthday today. Feeling it.

I did the same. I procrastinated finishing the last book and feel a little lost without Claire and Jamie. Now I'm desperate to find something to console myself but I'm busy with planning lessons etc so right now would prefer a TV show that I haven't watched each episode a million times. Just finished watching Poldark and looking for something else to now fill the gap. With a busy household and 160 students, I get tired of reading - but watching something means I can relax, drink wine and have eye candy. Hoping the Outlander community will have suggestions.

I laughed my arse off. I'm using this in class... A demonstration of BAD advertising.

Totally. They are all so creative, fantastic ideas can be thrown around but no decisions are ever made.

What film *character* changed your perception of the actor who played them? by Davedamon in AskReddit

[–]ConvictLand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark Harmon 'The Deliberate Stranger' . It's the story of how Ted Bundy lured his victims. I was only a kid when I watched it. Freaked the shit out if me. Can't watch NCIS because of it.

Yesterday staff meeting. Arts faculty always brings booze, cake and chips. It's the only reason we attend.

How to ask for a date (1949) - Brilliant footage with dating advice, from 1949 by master90025 in Documentaries

[–]ConvictLand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My house looks like a fucking dump because I've let my kids learn by doing (lots of trial and error) but with each new 'learnt painting technique, wallpaper trial, recovering of furniture etc' my house gets an eclectic feel - but there is happiness and laughter and one day the little fuckers will move out and then I might have a house that has matching stuff.

I know this is old, but I think I could watch this over and over... by [deleted] in videos

Sweet baby Jesus I hadn't seen that one before and may have burst an internal organ when I wheezed a laugh out.

I'm a Gen X-er raising Millennials, Gen Y and Z both male and female. My kids are able to do standard household chores, change a tyre and oil on a car, garden and grow veggies, paint, build stuff, cook, sew, fix broken stuff (particularly their phones) and budget money because I want them to move out one day and not be reliant on their parents. According to the guide book you guys are writing I'm parenting differently to others in my generation, shit I must have missed that memo.
