Whenever I hear her I think of sad dogs.
I don't like it for three reasons:
- the household income level is way too high
- once the school receives the money it is unaccountable
- i think...it violates the separation of church and state.
Everything is. I'm convinced.
Dawn rises on the mountain with only the sounds of birds chirping, sausage frying, and with the sweet smell of buttermilk biscuits. Probably a ****ing scam too though.
Jesus I need a vacation.
I'm always skeptical of the true cost of private school. Otherwise, it is mindblowing.
For instance, the top private schools (non-religous) in the Twin Cities are Blake and Breck and neither has a religious affiliation. But, the stated tuition is $30K+ per year, beginning in Kindergarten (they go through HS). I know some people that are well off that send their kids there, but I cannot imagine they are paying $30K/year x 3 kids x 12 years for that school. So what is the true cost? I'm sure it differs by family.
For the religious schools, they seem to be between $8K and $15K. Much cheaper, but still a helluva lot of money if you have multiple kids.
i can understand how you could lose hope. let's be honest. how could anyone who supports united have an ounce of hope when they finish behind galatasaray and copenhagen. my god. the end of the world may indeed be near. but you know what's indestructible? this. imagine how that deer meat and eggs will taste on the mountain cooked up in this
Bow, Have a question given the following as taken from your post...
Only 63% of US kids live in a home with married parents. Numerous studies reflect that kids raised in married parent homes are less likely to have problems at school or get in trouble with the law,
What is happening, if anything, in the families without married parents which have well adjusted children ?
I ask this because rather than wishing to return to the past we can find solutions for the future.
yup mike bites. they say they did $50 mil in 2022 and were on pace for $150 mil in 2023. i don't know. it's a weird business with the various licenses etcThis is the best thing I'll read all day
I know at the Catholic schools you get a volume discount for each add'l kid. Don't know about the rest.

Not only United. IU bb too as well. It's been a long drought these last 10 years.
Colts - glimmer of hope and then suck
Pacers - the only glimmer currently
Hoosiers - sigh
United - ****ing Glazers
Mercedes in F1 - it was good while it lasted
I need to give up on fandom altogether. Probably better for all involved.
Double Kangaroo Court fines.
1. S*****. / $15.00
2. Toto Wolff and Lewis Hamilton. The two least likable people in F1 / $15.00
About $20k a year in Chicago, too. And that’s parochial. True private here is about 35k a year now, I think.
More confirmation El Drado is Top 5 wealthiest Coolerite. Making a run at #2!
She was amazing. Her some tori Amos 10,000 maniacs
Those beautiful, warm voices will be what get us through the cold, dark, lonely nights on the Mountain.
Sad fact. Sad dog song was written in response to musician Jonathan Melvoin’s death (heroin OD). He was the keyboardist for The Smashing Pumpkins at the time.
for so many, and a solution. Get a stoker who makes money. All of you posters WITH SONS impress upon them the importance of marrying an earner. @IUCrazy2 you're big into marriage. make sure all your boys marry the right type of girl. career girls. oh and move to a school district with good schools. 12 years of "free" education.
we also see the downside of single moms and dads etc with poverty and crime. i think marriage and staying married would cure much of what ails this country
irony is not lost....
The "American Dream" costs far more than most people will ever earn
The cost of raising kids, buying a home and achieving other traditional milestones today far exceeds a typical worker's earnings, one analysis finds.www.yahoo.com
Boomers killed it. They've ruined restaurants, holidays, and now the free world.
"Boomers have quite simply been the biggest beneficiary of a “massive wealth transfer,” wrote the BofA team led by Ohsung Kwon, echoing Dalio’s observation that trillions of wealth flowed from the public to the private sector thanks to government policy since the 1980s, when boomers were in their prime working years. BofA pointed to the ballooning government debt—from 31% of GDP to 120% during that period—and the 10-year Treasury yield shrinking from 12% to 4.6% today (it’s actually 4.9% as of press time)."
The ‘great wealth transfer’ isn’t $72 trillion but $129 trillion, BofA says—and the government gave most of it to baby boomers
Boom! Government policy has really enriched a certain generation of Americans—ones who have been in power for decades.
It’s funny you say that. I was watching that Ww2 doc on Netflix and was thinking from the end of Ww2 to 1970, 25 years, would have been a good time to grow up. Boomers were born starting in 46Boomers killed it. They've ruined restaurants, holidays, and now the free world.

Hot damn, we agree on something! @UncleMark found another youngen who is working hard to support your welfare.
I'm no expert on this but I read a lot, I observe a lot and I was active in Big Brothers Big Sisters for a while.
I think many single/divorced moms are doing a helluva job raising their kids. I think those kids benefit even more from a positive male role model who's actively involved in their lives. If it's not the kids' biological father, a good step-father, an in-law or another trusted relative can help tremendously in this regard. Most importantly, though, biological dads need to step up and be responsible parents. They did the deed that brought the kid into the world, and they need to buck up and be an active participant in their kid's upbringing.
Boys and young men are in trouble in this country. They are, in many cases, adrift. They're falling behind academically, they're not going to college in numbers like they used to, and many good blue-collar jobs that used to provide stable employment for men have been off-shored, have disappeared because of automation, or will be eliminated in the not-too-distant future due to AI. A good male role model, a positive male influence with a brain, can help steer boys in the right direction - - in more ways than one.
Finally, I'm not at all active in the organization All Pro Dad for which Tony Dungy has served as the spokesman, but I believe they do a lot of good and their website provides some sound guidance for a being a better husband, father and man.
Feds signaling three rate cuts next year. Looks like old Joe achieved a soft landing.
Gas prices down, real estate starting to slow a bit, another day of portfolio highs. Thanks Joe.

I posted them about a year ago? Can't find them, though, because the site won't let you search the great anon_6hv78pr714xta's posts.
Trump's been warning of an impending depression. Lol. There's clearly not even going to be a recession.
i don't say this to be argumentative but you do see that biden has been blocked right bcc? that he came out, gave away the farm, prices soared everything went to shit, then manchin blocked him, the house flipped biden's cock blocked and things are settling down. this is why pubs respond to "well what plans do they have" with hopefully very few. i would argue things are improving in spite of biden not because of. and that doesn't mean trump would be any better. he certainly showed a predilection for spending too - so he coudl see his name on checks

How and why we need to strengthen two-parent families in the U.S.
The data and analysis here is both persuasive and concerning. In 1950, 5% of children were born out of wedlock. Today, it's nearly 50%, despite the fact that teen and unwanted pregnancies are down across classifications. This might be the most important economic issue of our time, and cuts...

USA’s coach’s shirt is ridiculous. Like something you wear to breakfast on laundry day. Never even heard of this guy. Looked up his background. That’s more ridiculous than his shirt. Wtf And the next coach is…checks notes….the previous coach. And our B- team just got beat by Panama. Lord.

I think that’s true. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security enhancements, cheap college educations, were all benefits handed to boomers without asking. Because Many ( mostly liberal democrats) thought those were good ideas. And boomers took advantage. Many if those bennies have been expanded and are still there. But instead of using that to soar to even greater heights, they have become crutches to serve self- indulgent life styles of subsequent generations. Don’t get me wrong, many Of the factors that make the American Dream elusive are the result if boomer economics, but not all of it. subsequent generations are handicapped by thinking that life should be easier, and free of uncertainty and insecurity. Boomers are probably the blame for robbing subsequent generations of being driven to achieve.Boomers killed it. They've ruined restaurants, holidays, and now the free world.
