    Some good friends have home schooled all of their children (6). Their youngest, a set of twins, graduate this coming spring. They participated in a homeschooling co-op. Whatever mom or dad couldn't teach, there was somebody available who could. For enrichment, all children learned to play a musical instrument or took voice lessons (1-violin, 1 - guitar, 2 - piano, 2 -voice). Two of the girls played soccer for the co-op, two of the boys played basketball. One boy and one girl joined the co-op's little theater company, and performed in plays. Of the four older kids, two went to college, two attended vo-tech. They lived at home to keeps costs down, while commuting. I don't know what the twins are going to do. Their kids seem like they've done ok.

    Ironic. The picture shows Moretz holding a donut, but in interviews Moretz talks about how "clean" she eats (low fat, low carb, etc.) to maintain her physique to stay in show biz.

    The shocking thing is that I'm not surprised.

    Yeah, I'm of two minds about it. On the one hand, they were straightup fucking with an election. It wasn't just a couple of yahoos who loitered on government land, they stopped the electoral college from completing their voting. They accelerated the national insanity. No, I don't think that's the same thing as being found on a park bench after dark. On the other, @Horace said in The Most Deadliest Day: I still see people say with a straight face how “terrifying” they think Jan 6 was. Yeah, that kind of crap has done nothing to cool things down, either. Probably we'd be all better off nationally if we relearned how to have a sense of humor about politics and current events. So, probably a good thing overall they made this.

    The first chapter (2nd?) of Atul Gawande's book "Better" deals with battlefield medical triage and how things have changed since WWII. It's fascinating how things have changed.

    Nah. In many cases, just give them 40 acres and the ass will move there.
