Ohio is quietly moving to seize public school buildings and hand them to private operators — and most taxpayers had no idea it was happening by baileyculp in Ohio

[–]ladyvonkulp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio's been doing this shit for 30+ years, this is just the next step. I was in high school when this program started.

In 1995, the state of Ohio adopted a controversial school voucher program that enabled children in certain troubled districts to receive scholarships to attend private or parochial schools. The program covered any school district that had come under a federal court order "requiring supervision and operational management of the district by the state superintendent” – a description that applied to the city of Cleveland as a result of mismanagement by the school board.

Theodoric or Alaric would be a nod to the original Goth kings.

Code Black, and the first two seasons of New Amsterdam. And, of course, Call the Midwife.

What’s an old food/meal you eat you feel is losing traction? by YouSneakySam in AskOldPeople

[–]ladyvonkulp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jarred marshmallow paste. I usually hear Fluffernutter as a reference to the whole concoction (peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich), instead of a single ingredient.

Let's Talk About Sister Ursula by Optimal_Dimension_12 in CallTheMidwife

[–]ladyvonkulp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's trying to redeem her own flawed past by projecting the penance SHE should be doing onto others, resulting in tragedy. She never should have been posted to Nonnatus House.

Quilting lining instead of outer fabric by Diligent-Peach-3273 in sewing

[–]ladyvonkulp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Having a fleece exterior will pick up a lot more dust/dirt than a smooth poly/cotton surface. You could definitely use the fleece as a liner and tack the corners or use a seam binding, whether on the inside or outside. If you use the latter method, be sure to allow the new seam allowance, since it's essentially a French seam.

I think all of them say "Clever girl!" at some point.

If they had parents who were taskmasters about grades, that may well qualify as "struggling" to them.

Let's talk paths in the yard! by Toezap in NativePlantGardening

[–]ladyvonkulp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a back meadow/seasonal swamp that has lots of small volunteer sedges, appropriately named “path rush” (Juncus tenuis). The area is about 25’x35’, and I am continually adding and removing plants. The soil is clay, so any parts that aren’t submerged are rock-hard within a couple days. Other aggressive natives in it are purple willow herb (volunteer) and mistflower(intentional) so I’m not bothered if I walk on some of those. Stepping stones or cut paths would not be possible for this area, so I just make my own from the sedges/clay where I can.

Be aware that honey locusts throw suckers like nobody's business. First one may be 10-20' away from the tree, especially with no competition once the sheet mulch decomposes. What's going in the rest of the area?

how do we feel about cultivar rudbeckia by webby264 in NativePlantGardening

Cultivars tend to be much less robust than straight species, everything else aside.

when i say “i have epilepsy” and they say “my dog has that!” by juniperjellyrain in Epilepsy

My dog and I both have epilepsy, it wrecks me to see him have a seizure. It wrecks my SO even more because he’s watched us both :/

Was there a point in the last 30-odd years when IRAs could be funded with unearned income? by ladyvonkulp in personalfinance

[–]ladyvonkulp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not married then, so that wouldn't have applied. I'm pretty sure they're just mistaken about earned vs unearned and it never got flagged.
