    Teen test anxiety/panic?

    We had the same experience. Therapists just weren’t taking new patients. I called so many different ones! We were waiting to see one provided by the school district, who was stretched very thin, when we just lucked out with a recommendation from a friend. Reach out. Talk to all your friends...

    Teen test anxiety/panic?

    My 11th grade daughter has the opposite problem. She does great on standardized exams without any preparation whatsoever (perfect 1520 on the PSAT and 1560 on the SAT), but she developed some pretty severe anxiety about just going to school. She fell behind due to a class schedule change and...

    Anyone else watching the news for that freak Epstein's Creeper List?

    Yep. The quote is from a 2002 magazine article. I’m more interested in the victim’s testimony in this actual case that included Epstein’s comment ABOUT another former US President: he “likes them young, referring to girls." There’s much more about THAT president, including Epstein’s...

    worst car you have ever been in?

    My turn: Why do Yugos have rear defrosters? To keep your hands warm while pushing them.

    Three year cruise

    If I did, I would definitely buy CFAR trip insurance.

    worst car you have ever been in?

    Oh man. When I was in the military, one close friend had a Le Car, and another had a Suzuki Samurai. I think it was a conspiracy to make me drive everywhere, because they didn’t even like driving their own cars! I just had a plain Subaru GL Wagon, but it was a great car.

    Do you attend Church at Christmas?

    Yes. I’m leaving in just a few minutes for our Christmas Eve service. It always ends with the congregation holding up candles and singing Silent Night. I look forward to it every year! :love:

    Unofficial Hockey Thread

    My daughter’s a fan, so I’m one by association. 😁 She watches games on streaming fairly often, plus highlights on YouTube. She generally follows the Caps the most. She likes getting the player trading cards, and she’s a wiz with stats. We go to a few local ECHL games each season (Jacksonville...

    What’s the most positive amazing/unexpected thing you saw/did/had happen this year?

    I had a great week in July working with 80 amazing high school students (including my daughter) and young professionals at a STEM camp held at the US Air Force Academy. The days were very long but also very fun, and it was just such a rewarding experience. I’ll be running my own camp next...

    Anyone familiar with New Port Richey, Fl?

    I’ve been there many times to visit family. We always had a boat at our disposal, so we were usually out on the water. There was always a great sandbar hang out spot, plus Anclote Key State Park is nice. Tarpon Springs is close and has a cool history of sponging and some very good Greek...

    MYST - in full, live 3D!

    I went to a dinner party in Atlanta many, many years ago and spent most of the night drinking wine and playing Myst with some other dudes. It was pretty high tech for the time and a fun game. Weird side story - the other dudes were members of Collective Soul, before they went national.

    2024 vacation plans

    Our Assistant Pastor walked the Camino several years ago, and I followed her on social media. It was very cool. She had a porter service that moved her luggage separately to each overnight stop, which ended up being a good thing, because she hurt her ankle and was still able to complete her...

    Other than our usual “local” trips, I’m thinking about a week in Montreal with my daughter.

    Mayim Bialik no longer hosting Jeopardy

    The timing with recent comments she’s made is interesting. I haven’t watched the show in a while and haven’t seen her host. Was she any good?

    The PGA Tour VS. The LIV Tour

    https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/39063974/sources-masters-champ-jon-rahm-leaving-pga-tour-liv-golf I haven’t followed this too closely, but this seems like a smart move by Rahm. It’s quite possible that the PGA will feel compelled to address their hypocrisy in rejecting LIV players from...

    Women threw hot burrito bowl....

    You can go on YouTube and find dozens if not hundreds of similar fast food customer vs. worker videos. It’s pretty sad.
