DARE story:
Once when my parents were out of town, I took my brother to my boyfriend's raging party (I was 18, he was 11) The party was outside, he was inside with Nintendo. The cops came and busted the party and I was outside of the house while my then BF and brother were inside the house. I had to go to a payphone to call and make sure bro was in house - bad big sister, very bad. The cops left and I returned to house to find scared little bro who for once in his life was overjoyed to see me. Then he said, "My DARE teacher came to the door!!" DOH! My mom only heard this story about 5 years ago.
It's all about the coat.

I don't know if the local schools do DARE. If the feds won't fund it because of ineffectiveness, then that's a pretty big red flag. I don't recall seeing a DARE police car at the police station here. I've seen one at another metro city, an 80s-era Firebird.

But that starts just tomorrow! You could probably go! Walking is good for you! Unless I missed something. Did I miss something? I skimmed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's supposed to be really hot tomorrow, and the lines at Big Apple BBQ are loooooooooooooooooooong. (There's a fastpass that'll get you into the express lines, but it's $100 and I'm just not sure I can eat that much...)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
...what does that even mean?
I told them it sounds like I'm a fan of cults, like I have a shrine to Jim Jones in my apartment.

So you'll be missing it on account of Too Pregnant to Go.
Which is sad, but understandable.

well as the fact that it really wasn't a very good education once he got beyond the early-years skills stuff
Yeah I can see how that could happen. My wife has done an excellent job so far as indicated by objective metrics with testing administered through a third party. But I sense progress slowing down due to the tension between her and our daughter over schoolwork. The concept is pretty good though, one on one attention, tailoring each subject to ability, things you can't do in a school setting.

You should serve Kool-Aid at your book release party.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There was a punk band called The Cult. Maybe it means you're a fan of them.
