re: Anyone have experience with housing exchange kids?

Posted by highcotton2 on 2/22/26 at 8:20 pm to NolaLovingClemsonFan

When I was in high school in the late 80’s there would be 2 or 3 exchange students every year and I grew up in a small town population of about 2000. They were always really cool kids that everyone liked. But I do remember one girl from Germany that stayed with a really strict, religious family. She liked to smoke and they were having none of that.

She said it was very common for kids to smoke and drink with their parents in Germany at that time. I think the legal drinking age was 16 and acceptable for 14 yr olds around their parents.

Security was called and he was photographed and banned from the store for 6 months for touching this woman. :lol: This guy is a great dude but we all still give him hell about being a pervert and getting banned from a store.

traffic stop.

These guys were serving a felony warrant to an illegal and the chief wants to fire them for calling ICE? That may be one of the crazier stories I have read in a while.

quote:
Bettison said that a police officer was investigating an individual on a felony warrant at a location on the west side. The officer, according to Bettison, believed the individual was not a U.S. citizen and contacted Border Patrol. Border Patrol responded and took the individual.

The firing will go before a board but the police chief says he will make the final determination.

Woods says any decision to fire these officers will come from Bettison after the board makes its decision.

Yea the city is saying that piece of property would sell for 35 to 40 million dollars so that it is the rate they are taxing it on. Pretty crazy.

There was a pretty long thread on here about 4 years ago but it seems to have been locked for some reason. Lot of back and forth about the merits of this story.

Here is a little follow up.

Yellowstone wolves may not have transformed the park after all.

Researchers found that the reported 1,500% surge in willow growth was based on circular calculations and questionable comparisons. After correcting for modeling and sampling flaws, the supposed ecosystem-wide boom largely disappears.

Who would have guessed it was all propaganda.

That is actually used for reverse-osmosis desalination systems. Common for big resorts to use stuff like that. Not sure how big Epstein’s fortress was though.
