What is your opinion on the United Kingdom?

There was a movie in the '80s called The Peanut Butter Solution. I loved it because it was so weird. I have yet to meet another person beyond my family who has heard of it.

As I got older, The Kids in the Hall. While maybe not obscure per se, the show is definitely a cult favorite.

Loved Twinkies and ding-dongs. My mom only bought them for the lunches she packed us for a field trip (but then we got to eat one every day until the box was gone) with school. They seemed like the ultimate luxury to me as a kid. In a fit of nostalgia I picked Twinkies up at a convenience store about 5 years ago. I have no idea what I saw in those things, the cake was dry and the filling tasted greasy.

Dollar Tree. Guess it would be ok if I got a good employee discount cause I spend a whole lot of dollars in there, lol.

i think we could be very good friends. my collection is nearing 1800 but also includes a number of vhs titles that were either never released on newer formats or were either edited/cover art changed on later releases (i've got duplicate copies of most of the older disney stuff).

My grandmother's mink stole. I have no use for it; but, can't get rid of it either.

Fairly old house, 100 years or so. I have a telephone alcove in the hall next to the kitchen. It is an opening in the wall with a telephone connector and a pull-out where you might use a pad. There are lots of other unusual things in the house like in a small bedroom on the second floor there is a built-in ironing board with small shelves behind it that look the right size for thimbles of thread. Maid's room perhaps?

That reminds me that I have my grandmas fur coat. I think it’s mink with a beaver collar but I don’t remember. She was like 18” shorter than me so it doesn’t fit and it’s so fragile that we don’t ever really handle it. A few years ago there were talks about making teddy bears out of it but I can’t remember why nothing came of it.

An apple farm with a small farmstand. It wouldn't be terrible, but there's probably not much money in it.

Not me, but my second grader. Her teacher told her/us that math would never come easy to her. She would cry doing her schoolwork saying she would never get it. The following year with a just out of school new teacher she began to flourish in math. She was even invited into an accelerated math program in middle school and continues to flourish in math in high school. She actually enjoys math since the third grade teacher. If it weren't for that new teacher, she might have been painted into an anti-math corner by the second grade teacher. Teachers' words weight heavily on kids.

So glad she was able to overcome, we need as many STEM comfortable girls as possible!
This upsets me so much because mathematical concepts are separate from the written language of math, not the same thing but the world can only test for one kind on paper and so I can only imagine it's laziness and impatience that drive this. A child can speak very clearly long before they ever grasp the grammar but no-one ever tells a child who regularly makes punctuation mistakes that they are illiterate. Why people do this nonsense with math is totally beyond me, we probably lose so many promising students this way.

Not me, but my brother. He was told (written in red ink on his essay actually), that he'll never be taken seriously if he continued to write like that. He's never changed his writing style (took C's instead of 'improving' his essays), and he's a published author and makes his living as a professional writer.

The closest workplace to me is a junior high school and since I'm not qualified to teach, I'd end up being the janitor or the secretary. I'd be happy enough with either of those types of work but I suspect I'd be quite sad about the pay.

Cousin is a maintenance guy at a school, aka, "janitor". He makes well above me and I make well above median salary. I can only dream of living in the house he has and driving the car he drives.

I would be working at Dollar General. It's funny, I live in a subdivision in the country that's surrounded by farmland. There isn't much out here at all. Then one day a DG popped up right next to our neighborhood. They really put those things everywhere.

If you bury a Dollar General plastic bag, a DG will sprout there.

They started first out in the sticks because it stinks to have to drive 40 miles for a gallon of milk.

Cousin is a maintenance guy at a school, aka, "janitor". He makes well above me and I make well above median salary. I can only dream of living in the house he has and driving the car he drives.

I have no way to know for sure but I doubt it would be the same in my case. As I said though, I'd happily do the job. Honestly, I don't really care what I do for work - it's all about the money for me.
