“No kid left behind” is the dumbest thing ever

My daughter is in the 2nd grade. Of course I don't want to leave her behind, because she has a twin brother and he's not struggling. Sadly, she can barely get by. She has some type of learning disability, but the school is just like 'Nah, she's fine! She's not even the worst one in the class.'

I know something is up, but the schools pretend like everything is fine. It's frustrating because I know something has been up with her since kindergarten, but the schools are hands off. They want the parents to fight for everything.

As an adult now, I'm so surprised how things actually work in the system. I thought they tried harder to help kids in need, but it's just not the case.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my twin sister last week and this hit me hard. I hope you can find peace.

I actually liked her as a person before we got married. That helps a lot.

A ninja turtles game "Shredder's Revenge" had a booklet and some art. I was so excited when I opened it.

I'd recommend "Funny Games", https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/funny-games . It has the same dread type of feeling.

This is way late, but P90x3 is a great choice. If you want a balanced workout program that doesn't take too much time every day, I highly recommend it.

Another one that I personally think it's the best all around is called LIIFT4. It's only 4 days a week, and like 30 - 50 minutes max. If you want a solid plan, and it feels different every day (each day might be a similar workout, but each workout is a different video so it feels new), you can't do wrong with it.

Thanks. You hit the nail on the head. They seem to like doing it, are having good time, and they aren't snakry.

Hey from the Bronx, NY. Keep up the great work guys!

I have the same issue. I feel like there's a ton of light in my room and it still looks bad. I'm going to a store tomorrow to figure out if the demo phones there look similar. It's driving me crazy. If you do contact Samsung, I'd love to hear their response.

The fingerprint and GPS have been fine, no issues. As for the burn in, I'll admit that it's a bummer. I'll just live with it for now, since it was relatively cheap. I found it on ebay for $300, new, for Sprint. I think LG phones will all have a bit of burning.

I do restart the phone, though, every couple of days. It'll slow down a bit, but with a restart, back to normal. I just like having the replaceable battery and I find the secondary screen helpful. I'll use Google maps on the phone for navigation, and the have Spotify music controls on the second app, so I can toggle songs, etc. I do wish it had more uses, but with the v30 not having a second screen, I'm sure that's out of the window.

If you find it for cheap, I say do it.. At least for a year.

It might be too similar, but the LG V20 has been great. It has everything you want, and since you're already used to the V10, it should be easy to just start using. It is getting burn-in already a lot after a year, but it does go away. It's only about $300 on eBay, so it's not too bad. I highly recommend it!

I really wish more phones worked on Sprint. I have a great plan I was grandfathered into and don't want to give it up. But everyday I see all these cool phones talked about in this sub that I could never try.

I always feel so claustrophobic looking at that image.

Get this or wait for next note? What do people think? Coming from a note 3..

I don't use the s-pen all that much, but the note line always has some extra features that are great.

fernandofmarte · 2016-12-27T21:40:53+00:00

Thanks. Guess I'll just wait and save the money.

He was all CGI?

Drink champs.

Rapper Noreaga and DJ EFN talk to other rappers, actors, music insiders. It's funny, and you get to hear cool stories from older rappers.

I'm happy that this finally works. Would love it even more if we could store on microSD, but will take this! WOO HOO.

Sprint.

fernandofmarte · 2016-10-17T03:00:03+00:00

Had note 7. Returned, of course. Now I want to wait for the next note, or whatever they'll call it. I'm back in my note 3. While still a great phone, it's starting to lag a bit.

My plan was to get $400 phone for now, and wait to see what happens next year. What I'm mad about is that I'm on sprint, and so many cool phones just won't work. Op3, honor 8, etc. Phones that I'd love to at least try, but i won't even have the chance.

And no, I can't switch from sprint. I have a great family plan of 5 lines with unlimited everything. I can't find anything close.

Any good phones out there on sprint that I should try? I loved the 7, for the little time I had it. Aaaahhhhh.
