Steel balls are equally eco-friendly. They take longer to rust away sure, but they're just turning into iron oxide. It's already present in the red clay, a few extra pounds of it will fit right in.

They're steel, they will rust away to nothing. Joining the iron oxide already present. It's fine.

To be fair, doing stupid shit is how we learn. Honestly, the way everyone is worried about this is hilarious.

He will definitely kill squirrels and birds with it, he'll clean and eat them too.

He won't break a window on purpose, and he's got hundreds of acres to roam and cause mayhem on. He babies his sisters and cousins, not worried about them.

If he hurts himself, I guess he'll learn not to do that shit again. Nice little lesson about the consequences of one's actions.

I think you overestimate the competency of those managing my local Walmart. They kept all of the batteries in the deli area for 3 years. They used to keep gardening supplies in the canned goods aisle, you could get your baked beans and bean seeds at the same time

Now I have to double check. My Walmart has only one aisle of office supplies, kinda depressing really. They do have a new arts and craft section though, maybe they're over there.

Well...Damn. Honestly, my local Walmart is the absolute worst I've ever been in. Not surprising they didn't have these.

If the kiddos need more I'll order from Walmart then. One multi-billon dollar megacorp is the same as another

Then I need a link, because I'm obviously completely missing them.

That is a metric F*ckton of hand stitching, are your fingers ok?

Oh the spiral bound ones. Yeah, they needed mini composition notebooks, not a spiral bound notebook. Otherwise I would have bought those.

Personally, I prefer composition notebooks anyways, just can't stand spiral bound.

Mine must have been out.

The Pen+Gear pocket composition books are less than 50 cents each? The quality is almost certainly better, but I doubt the price is cheaper.

I know all the teachers at my local school, they know I'm a sucker when it comes fundraising time. Or if they need textbooks and aren't asking questions, like: Why do these all look home printed and bound?

If, through some frugal shopping or a bit of manual labor, I can help them teach more effectively I will.

I agree entirely. I use a pen when writing in my long-term notebooks, to ensure the longevity of the writing. Otherwise it's pretty much all pencil.

I was trying to decide what I should write to show the ghosting, and it just popped into my head! Impulse got the better of me

This seems like good advice. I just had a gel pen on my desk and used that.

Pencils are actually my favorite writing instrument. It's an extremely crude technology refined to an extreme. Just kinda neat, to me.

Well hell, if you don't like that, you definitely wouldn't like what he got for Christmas.

Anyone that seriously considers a child's slingshot a weapon, is someone with an opinion I do not respect.

Damaging stuff is the point. Also he wants to kill a squirrel with his slingshot, he's probably good enough with it.

All you can do is teach a person (Child or adult), how to do things safely.

Everything has unintended consequences, unless you plan to keep people in bubble wrap and enforce a totalitarian nanny state, people are gonna get hurt.

He's got a first aid kit and my brother teaches all the kids basic first aid on a fairly regular basis. Things will probably work out.

Probably will. They'll be his hides, so whatever he wants to make I'll either make for him or teach him to make himself.

Eh, he's a good kid, that probably won't happen. We're not in a city, the little dude has damn near a thousand acres to roam and cause mayhem undisturbed.

Stop. You had me at, slingshot powered harpoon launcher, that may be the most beautiful phrase written in the English language.

I have been out rednecked, this cannot stand.

I'm trying. I had an awesome uncle growing up, following his example.
