    MS one of eight states to see double digit losses in K-12 enrollment

    My wife and I have only one child, our 19-year old daughter who is currently in her second year at Virginia Tech. I have no idea how much money she has cost us over her lifetime (or, how much she will cost us in the future), but I do know this: she's worth every penny.

    OT: Things that should get you the death penalty

    That's exactly right. Also, as best I can determine, Chinese eating culture dictates that you eat your food while it's ridiculously hot (i.e., freshly cooked). The only possible way to do that is to slurp the hot soup as you eat it.

    OT: Things that should get you the death penalty

    I'll never forget the first time I sat at the table with my Chinese father in-law while he was having a bowl of noodle soup. It was life-changing. That was over 20 years ago . . .

    OT: Things that should get you the death penalty

    Mmm-hmm . . . I had to take the Uzi out of my glove compartment.

    OT: Things that should get you the death penalty

    This is one of the many reasons I never use the drive-through anywhere, not just fast food restaurants.

    NCAA tournament expansion…

    Hmmm . . . I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this statement. Can you explain it to me so I can understand the points you're trying to make?

    NCAA tournament expansion…

    The game of basketball has already died. Thus, I couldn't care less what the NCAA (or, anyone else) does with those high-paced constant up-and-down three-pointer competitions.

    NBA expansion.

    We cannot have a thread that mentions the SuperSonics without at least one GIF of Shawn Kemp.

    Mississippi Queen

    My wife and I are visiting our daughter at Virginia Tech this weekend. Last night, we had dinner in downtown Blacksburg. . . and the "dating world" scene was in full force. LOTS of young women out and about wearing very small dresses (not sure whether "dresses" is the proper term; "mini-wraps"...

    OT: what are the most random things you watch on youtube?

    I'm now less than 1 year from retirement (March 5, 2027). Thus, I currently watch all things concerning retirement issues: 401k withdrawal strategies, Social Security strategies, pension strategies, health insurance, Medicare, required minimum distributions, capital gains, income tax, Roth...

    Let’s take a vote.

    Agree. I almost literally grew up in a basketball gym. My father was a basketball coach. There's no telling how many different gyms I've seen. The game that I knew and loved is now dead and gone, never to return.

    Softball Fans

    I played baseball for years. As a player, I never thought the game seemed to move too slowly. However, as a fan, I've often thought it was slow. Here's an idea I've had for speeding up a baseball game: one pitch for each batter. If the pitch is a swinging strike, a taken strike, or a foul...

    Right. I get your point. The differences between noise coming from the dugout in baseball and softball include: 1) the softball noise is absolute screaming that is coordinated, high-pitched, loud, coming from a group of 20 women all at once, and consistent (almost unending); and 2) the baseball...

    This. It drives me crazy too. Non-stop extremely loud screaming from 20 women all at the same time. STFU and simply play the game. The screaming is unnecessary.

    Watch this girl just take over in the Iowa HS championship

    1) WTF was #2 of the purple team doing on defense in the first part of the clip? She had her back to the inbounder, yet she failed to defend the only girl cutting to the basket. She just stood there and did absolutely nothing. That is some poor defense. And the intensity that she's playing at is...
