I’d like to think my 2 sons who recently graduated with. 34 and 36 ACTs helped with that… seriously, they’ve had great teachers and a great experience with extracurricular that they will continue in college.

100% nailed it. Tough love. Stop trying to mute the pain. Sometimes we have to be real and face it. We are an over medicated society.
I have SW companion pass and points I use for most travel…We went to Costa Rica with son in May- about 3000 total for everything for the 3 of us for a week.

Went to Cancun last summer with family of 6- used SW points for flights and Hyatt points and paid cash for 2nd room at all inclusive, about 2000 total for 4 nights.

Also Went to Italy and paid all cash (didn’t use any points) for 3 of us about 5500 total.

Going to NYC Thanksgiving week with 5 of us. Using SW points and Hyatt points. Will only be paying for meals and Broadway shows so likely about 3000-4000.
Not worth it to rent condo on the beach anymore for 1000/nt when you can go other places much cheaper. You just have to learn how to use credit cards to your advantage for travel.

100% agree. I work in dc planning/case management at a hospital.
I’ve always done some form of dark roast community coffee…But we went to Costa Rica this summer and toured a coffee farm. They told us dark roast was from the burned coffee beans during the roasting process. We had the freshest coffee straight from the roasted beans in medium and light roasts…Made me stop buying the dark roast.

Start spending the money you get wisely and cut the dead money and waste.


Hear me out… can libraries receive a cut ? Are they really as necessary as they used to be? I go in the library and the workers outnumber the patrons every time. There are at least 10 people working the library with maybe 5 people there to check out a book… self check out maybe? And library science is a masters. So you are paying people with masters degrees to sit around most of the day and maybe check out a few books. Sorry I’m not against libraries I know they provide some good services but I think there is too much money allotted to them
First the Vatican is considered one of the most charitable organizations in the world.
Second, if you have ever walked into St. Peter’s basilica or most other churches in Rome, you’ll understand that appreciation for beauty helps point us to God.

I had a CPM and was in that damn thing for 6 hours a day


Honestly can’t believe they put you in CPM. Most surgeons don’t do them anymore because it’s not best practice. Moving yourself has been found more effective.
Early knee range of motion after surgery is critical, and it really needs to start right away. I typically see patients within hours of their procedure, and one of the biggest things I emphasize is getting the knee moving early—before scar tissue has a chance to form.
Once significant scar tissue develops, it becomes much harder to regain motion. In some cases, the only option left is a manipulation under anesthesia, which we obviously want to avoid if possible.
While both bending (flexion) and straightening (extension) matter, full extension is actually the priority early on. That’s because your ability to walk normally depends on getting the knee all the way straight. If you’re lacking extension—even by a few degrees—it can significantly affect your gait and lead to other issues over time.
The goal is to reach 0 degrees of extension as soon as possible so you can restore a normal walking pattern. Flexion will come with time, but extension is something you really want to focus on right from the start. You don’t actually need much more than 115 degrees for normal daily activities, but you should have 0 degrees extension.
Walmart plus. They will deliver your item same day, no minimum amount. Keeps me from ever having to go in.

Glad to hear but too late for us. Last year, son had 36 on ACT and LSU pretty much offered TOPs with barely anything extra- no thanks. Nothing was added to recruit him or sell the school.
This year, our other son with 34 ACT didn’t even want to consider LSU. Both these kids had outstanding academics, leadership roles, participation in varsity sports, and numerous volunteer hours. They lost out on 2 great in-state kids. Hopefully from what you are saying they have decided to change some things.

lsu offers top louisiananational merit students tops while schools like bama will offer full rides. Its pathetic.


Yep I can validate this statement…my son is just one example from last year. Doesn’t regret his decision at all.
My very wise son told me when he was 9, “You can’t make me be what you want me to be.” We had to realize he just wasn’t a sports kid and let it go…He ended up being outstanding in academics and band. Now has full ride to college and in SEC marching band. Wasn’t what we envisioned at the time but so happy we allowed him to follow his own path.
LSU’s tour and scholarship offering was disappointing for us. My oldest son was national merit finalist and 36 ACT score. LSU offered nothing to attract him there. He is at another SEC school and is happy with his decision. My second son didn’t even want to consider LSU. He made a 34 and plans to go to LA tech. My husband and I are both LSU alumni, and LSU lost its opportunity to attract 2 great in-state students.
3 teenage driving age sons here. Find an insurance broker to shop coverages. I carry the highest limits and carry an umbrella policy. Not worth the risk of being underinsured.
I think the kid was pretty terrified after he saw the kid flash the gun in the bathroom and didn’t know what to do. From what I heard it was handled swiftly and correctly.
The kid that saw it in the bathroom called his mother and his mother called the school. My son is also a freshman there. My son’s friend was in the class when they came in and arrested the kid. The kid was a football player and a pretty good one. He had the loaded gun on him.

mikelbr Same. I have one that graduated last year from DTHS that was a national merit and got full ride to school, also in college SEC marching band. Another graduating this year- full ride to LA tech and likely will get to run in college. And also have a freshmen there doing well and on football team. All did honors classes and participated in activities and have had great experiences. I went to public high school 30 years ago and there were lock downs and fights back then. In large schools like this, it all depends who your kids affiliate themselves with.
