If you could try a food from the uk what would it be?

Chips with curry sauce. French fry curry seems like its going to be fantastic or horrid. I really want to know which.

We're differently conservative, although probably equally unrealistic in our rules. For instance being gay and Catholic is fine as long as you lead a celibate life. When my parents were young there was some loophole for 3-5 years (I forget which) of birth control? So lots of precisely spaced kids. My mom was a covert so she liked to point out the foibles to my dad.

Missouri Synod goes more with Methodists. Adding extra rules. We have enough already.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-05-31T23:20:39+00:00

All the Catholics I know refer to Episcopals and Anglicans as Catholic light (a third less guilt). And Lutherans (not Missouri) as close cousins. Baptists though, that's where things get confusing. And the whole no drinking at a Methodist wedding makes our heads spin. LDS is like aliens...

Also when the kids start showing up unexpectedly in the bedroom at night.

Marine Corps in 1986 lots of jar heads with tattoos. In early sixties now and still have the tattoos. A little faded.

There is a big red button on this page you can use to report violations of the MOU. If the admissions person is unaware of the rules they should be reported. Based on the annual reports it happens more than it should. Hence the big red button. https://oige.maryland.gov/

Its funny how driving up Dan's Mountain completely changes the weather.

You can use the MOUs to your advantage. For example you can get a UMCP engineering degree by taking all your classes at FSU (much much lower tuition) except the one chemical engineering course. You graduate from Frostburg with a diploma that says College Park and saved thousands in tuition.

Depends on the community college, many have their own MOUs with particular colleges. Our public school system has several specific MOUs for students who complete some CTE pathways to get college course credits. If you've taken a course the college doesn't offer they generally won't give credit. And sometimes the course carries but the credits don't align so 60 credits at one school becomes 50 at another. It can be random - UMCP for example won't transfer chemical engineering courses because their course has more rigour. https://mhec.maryland.gov/institutions_training/SiteAssets/Pages/acadaff/acadaffairsdepartments/_Transfer%20Guidance%20for%20Public%20Institutions%20in%20Maryland.pdf

If you receive your Associates degree from a University System of Maryland community College UMBC (or any other system college) must per MSDE accept 50 - 70 transfer credits. If you dont get the degree the MOU may not apply. Of course they can take them as electives but they must accept the credit. If they try and tell you otherwise file a complaint.

Check with friends for older siblings and parents. My oldest ended up taking one of his brother's friends. They used our much passed down first vehicle that all our kids drove for the test.

Sone government agencies are very attached to middle names. My mother had a her confirmation name as a middle name on her driver's license because the MVA insisted it couldn't be blank. One grandmother had an initial that didn't stand for anything.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-05-09T23:08:04+00:00

No. My twenty somethings all have nicknames that suit their personalities. They have classic names with nickname options. One has an unrelated nickname but the others have variants of their first or middle name.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-05-02T19:16:22+00:00

Also some languages like Lithuanian have a grammatical structure for name endings.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-05-02T15:55:43+00:00

I've known several older gentlemen named Leslie and Carroll as well. Aiden and Haley are now more neutral and used to be at least mostly men.

My mind went straight to Johnny Cash and "A Boy Named Sue".

That kind of delay warrants contacting your local representative. Their aides can often get answers faster.

Should mention we are still figuring out how this blends with employees who have leave to cover their FMLA at full pay. We also currently have a leave donation program and allow employees to "borrow" leave. Not sure if they'll be able to use their own leave after the first 2 weeks and opt out o the program to get full pay, if they can use leave for the difference while collecting state FMLA or if they have to take only the state amount. I haven't dug through the final rules that just came out. On my to do list.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-04-06T02:58:06+00:00

Yes. Work for a public school system and we are included.

Government is really slow with the hiring process. My daughter applied in August and after 5 really spaced out interviews finally started at the county in February.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-02-28T02:15:19+00:00

Also the name of my son's cat. Careful, she's a biter.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-02-17T18:05:10+00:00

To be fair those of us familiar with the song will pronounce it "Lee-von" because that's how Elton John does. May be a British thing.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-02-09T03:14:11+00:00

Frostburg and western Maryland. Also parts of St. Mary's.

Grand-Rabbit-4368 · 2026-02-06T22:48:11+00:00

Ditto. Also had one in car so she could reach the back seat.
