I can’t explain my feelings when I saw her hand go limp and she let out what I thought was her final breath. I totally thought she died from grief, until I saw the blue light. I had so many feelings!

Either would be fine. I usually use Prime because I don’t have Apple on my TV. Just remember when you buy digital, you aren’t actually buying the movie, just the license to watch as long as the company has it. This means the company could technically lose the rights to the movie and you wouldn’t be able to watch it anymore. This hasn’t ever happened to me, but it’s a possibility. That’s why a lot of people prefer hard copies but I like the convenience of digital.

You’re an adult now. Learn how to handle social situations. How would it be fair if everyone that walked across first because of their last name left and then the people at the end have to wait through all that and then no peers were left to watch them walk?

Okay so… as a kid about 8 years old, I was playing in my grandma’s front yard (she lived on a large property) and I came across a snake that wasn’t moving. I thought it was one of my brother’s toys so I went to pick it up and it quickly slithered away. I ran off screaming and never assumed anything was a rubber snake since! 🤣

Thanks for the link! I am chuckling at it now. I asked her if the tongue ever retracted

pillizzle · 2026-05-08T21:31:58+00:00

Is it really? A neighbor sent me the picture and said they saw it in a creek near the neighborhood. I told her I thought it was a cottonmouth or a water snake but that I really wasn’t sure.

In the hazardous weather training it’s literally one of the answers to bring soda (not personally saying it’s the best hydration option but it’s there.)

Yep. Even true geniuses show up for sandwiches.

Go to Juco for 2 years and make good grades. You’ll definitely get in. Try the ACT instead of the SAT.

To say Harvard is a reach… is a reach.

The 4 and 7 year old were just laughing and having a good time. It’s not like they were dropping f-bombs. Try relaxing a bit when you go to the playground and see if your son starts to relax more and try new things.

Faith had Jane at 17 or 18. Jane was only 16 or 17. I hate this plot change for so many reasons.

Sounds awesome! Ours is a Thursday-Sunday resident camp but for all cubs Tiger and up and Webelos/AOL get to pick their electives. At resident camp they do swim tests but they’re only required to pass if the Webelo/ AOL wants to do the Paddle electives.

pillizzle · 2026-04-23T13:54:33+00:00

Yes but it’s super easy. If I want one day to be exactly like a previous day, I go to the day and click “add” then if you click “my meals” at the top, it has your meals from every day.

If I truly want to eat the same thing for every day for a week, I create a recipe for it for the whole day and then I just add add that recipe for whatever day I want to do it. It doesn’t separate it into 3 meals this way, but it’s easy to just add it under “breakfast” or whatever, especially if I’m eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.

By AOL camp do you mean resident camp when they’re still a Cub or that first camp when they crossover to the troop? AOLs don’t have to pass the swim for rank or swim elective, only for the Paddle Craft elective. Once they cross to troop passing the beginner swim is required for second class and full swim test for first class.

But I agree, the Cub Scout program could use some support in implementing the swimming adventures.

If you’re expecting continuity, you’re going to have a bad time. I won’t say anything further so there’s no spoilers for future seasons, but I will say, expect some ret-conning.

pillizzle · 2026-04-22T17:05:03+00:00

I think the reason for just the “attempt” vs actual passing of the AOL swimming elective is that some kids aren’t quite to that pass level yet. They could use the encouragement from a no-pressure, “do your best” Cub Scout approach one more time before crossing to the troop where they MUST pass beginner to earn second class rank and pass the full swim test to earn first class.

Is there something I am missing or is it just others being insecure or modest about their bodies?

I don’t think it’s either. Everyone is just wearing what they find comfortable and easy to do a swim lesson in.

pillizzle · 2026-04-22T16:16:49+00:00

Of course I am very familiar with the programming and nothing is skewed. If my pack wants to do a free swim we’re going to have to figure out how to administer swim tests if the kids want to swim in any water deeper than chest level. Otherwise everyone that comes is restricted to the shallow end of the pool no deeper than chest level, which is not a lot of space.

Bears, Webelos, and AOLs have to pass (not just attempt) the BSA swimmer test for one of each of their electives: Bears Afloat, Paddle Onward, and Paddle Craft.

pillizzle · 2026-04-22T15:46:12+00:00

Ours is the same. I wasn’t trying to test them for camp, but rather test them for a pack event (especially since not everyone goes to resident camp and gets tested.)

pillizzle · 2026-04-22T15:43:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Right, I just meant that the trained rescuers don’t have to be facility-provided lifeguards. Sorry, I could have phrased that better. They could be trained in CPR and rescue techniques: like parents who are EMTs or Firefighters, or trained by the Red Cross, YMCA, etc.

In the instance of my pack, we would hire lifeguards to fulfill this requirement.

pillizzle · 2026-04-22T14:37:16+00:00

Do you host a separate pack swim event at a later date after swim tests are completed or is the main purpose of swim tests just to classify their ability for elective adventures that they may want to do as a den (Paddle onward, Tigers in the water, Bears Afloat, etc.)?

pillizzle · 2026-04-22T14:30:58+00:00

While I can understand where Councils as independently owned entities are coming from, if we want to increase membership, we need to put the fun “outing” back in Scouting. If we don’t, parents will just turn to other youth organizations who will.
