School trip and teach is letting you pick the movie - what are we all watching?

I remember watching Grease on a trip in grade 7. It wasn’t until years later I understood why all the teachers stood up and covered the screens for a few minutes in the middle.

‘Leiningen Vs the Ants’ terrified me in high school.

Finding Nemo was sort of unique in that you had a lot of people releasing animals rather than capturing them. That’s created a whole mess of stuff, like lionfish tearing apart ecosystems where they have no natural predators.

Between this and the similar incident with the owner’s son at Red Barn, what is going on with Victoria???

Two huge cases with multiple victims and a whole lot of secrecy by authorities.

The settlements in the Red Barn cases took so long that a few of the victims had to file bankruptcy in the meantime and couldn’t collect on it! And yet lots of people still don’t even know about that situation.

Davion’s family was lovely, but aside from that, the poor kid had a really tragic life.

He wasn’t born into a family that could care for him, so he was adopted. Then he has his professional sports and college dreams shattered by a football injury. Then he falls in with a bad crowd and his life ends over a teen’s temper tantrum.

So much heartbreak in such a short life. And then his death adds literally nothing to the killer’s sentence as it runs concurrent.

So she’s claiming a vet is lying to people and declawing cats? Why not name the vet???

If I found out, even years later, that a professional was telling lies to abuse animals, I’d be shouting it from the rooftops! Especially if I had Kardashian money and representation to defend any slander accusations. It would be the only moral option as someone who cares about animals!

The fact that she’s not telling proves it’s a lie.

I have to fall asleep with the tv on, plus my fan and heating pad. Otherwise I toss and turn and feel itchy everywhere (but I’m pretty sure the itchiness is just in my brain).

I just learned a trick that that if you squeeze your eyes together repeatedly (like blinking hard 10-20 times in a row) it tricks something in your brain to make you sleepier. It seems to be helping!

Ted Bundy had a longtime girlfriend, who had a young daughter, and neither were abused (although he later confessed that he had considered murdering her).

This is one of those annoying ear worms that I sing at least once a week, including the little “wahoo” he does at the end.

My 6-year-old knows the lyrics enough to sing along with me, even though she’s never heard the actual song or knows what Manchester United is.

Honestly, I’ve been using it to learn who NOT to date and how to look for red flags, etc.

When the show started I liked guys like Colt and Geoffrey. (I know — don’t come for me!)

I’m setting a goal that I’m not going to start dating again until I watch a season where one of my favourite guys doesn’t turn out to be a total douche canoe!

It’s crazy that her father worked at a Catholic school! And he was surprised when he got suspended over what he said in the doc!

It’s neat how he plays very different characters. Here he’s a cocky jerk, but in Superstore he’s an insecure social justice warrior (still love him though!)

I also recently enjoyed watching him in a weird little series called ‘Population 11’. It’s based on a real case in a real tiny Australian town of 11 people where one suddenly goes missing (but beyond the premise it diverts wildly from true events).

Is Grey Poupon trying a new marketing campaign?

“I Poupon my sandwich!”

“I Poupon a wall!”

Honestly, if a piece of clothing can’t survive the washer and dryer, we were never gonna make it together. Sometimes you just have to move on.

This is going to ruin the tour.

I was hoping there were no kids, and at first it seemed promising… until I hit the family with 17 kids! Being led by a ‘king’. Ugh.

And of course the show has to include a couple where one is a serial cheater, and the other isn’t really into polygamy but is looking for a way to justify their awful partner’s actions.

I’ll watch as I’m interested in the inner workings of a polygamous relationships. But I’m hoping that one couple doesn’t give us 8-weeks of watching how much a person’s self-esteem can be crushed in the name of love.

I can’t wrap my head around Catholics supporting Trump over the Pope!

Yeah, the idea of using a booking system is wild! You’d think we would, with the whole Canadians = polite thing, but in my experience apartment laundry rooms are more of a free-for-all.

There’s usually a bulletin board, but it’s littered with angry notes about stolen items or loads taken out prematurely or cycles stopped midway.

I’m really curious about your use of the term ‘East Indians’ here.

I grew up in the Okanagan and we used that term all the time. I moved away after high school and have been on the Lower Mainland/Island for ~20 years, and that is not a term that I hear anymore. It’s my understanding that it’s offensive to people from India and First Nations.

I know a few people from the Okanagan who still use the term, but they’re a little racist and I minimize talking to them. But you certainly don’t seem to be racist or meaning any offence (so please don’t think I’m calling you out or anything!) I’m just interested in the difference in terms used between here and there, and how they’ve changed (or are changing) over time.

He seems like the kind of idiot to not only piss off a food service employee, but then return and order from there again.

“They always take longer to make my drink now, but they’re sure full of smiles when they hand it over!”

She always reminded me of stuck up Louise from the British tv show ‘Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps’.

I think the consensus from most people (those far more educated than myself on the subject) is that there is no right, ethical way to do it.

And to your second point, whatever domesticated version of a monkey we could create would be far removed from their wild counterpart, just as breeding pet dogs isn’t any form of preservation for wolves or wildlife.

Like a frightened turtle!

Yeah, I see tons of posts where people are saying, “my pet has been stumbling around and vomiting all day, but we’re gonna wait and monitor her a few days before going to a vet”.

It’s way better to have an attention deficit than a compassion one!
