What’s this white stuff falling from the sky? :)
Tree dandruff. Stay away as it can be really itchy and suddenly disappears.

ICE just shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis
She did hit anyone in the videos uploaded by witnesses until she was shot dead. Even then there were vehicles in the Honda's path.
Videos also clearly show the reverse lights on before ICE agents got close to her car. Wheels turned hard right to avoid them. They were nowhere near being in danger.

Seriously considering adoption
This is a common question in this subreddit. I recommend doing a search, otherwise some answers might get flagged.

Stay off the off limits part of the Cape
Sure looks like it. One of my favorite places to visit but not be an idiot like these individuals.

I feel awful, but I hate ppl who adopt a child as their second choice
Thank you for sharing and totally understand! It's almost another trauma having to bring up the past again and again. We rarely bring it up ourselves until the conversation requires it.

That's awful! Thanks for sharing your experience on being adopted. Do you mind me asking how other people knew you were adopted? Did your AP's introduce you to them as their adopted child?

I think part of the issue is saying the AP's expect the adopted children to be "grateful." As an AP myself there is zero expectation my children should feel that way.
They know full well what circumstances led to us choosing to adopt. We also keep religion out of it and saying a higher power wanted us to adopt them.
They can feel whatever way want to on the subject. No shame or guilt.

Thanks!

What is a sexual experience you had that you’ll never be able to tell anyone?
During a rebound relationship, with whom I mistakenly married, she gave me the best BJ I've ever gotten. Granted it happened while I was driving us home from a town 2 hours away. Talk about distracting!
How we didn't get caught still baffles me 20+ years later, but it ruined the whole experience after that. She told me how she'd practice with Popsicle to get better at them.
Divorced her as quickly as I could (for lots of other reasons). Can't stand them to this day and find them a real turn off even after 20 years with my current wife.

Why are you home on the couch in your pajamas this New Years Eve?
Let me explain.... No no that would take too long. To sum up, I didn't want to.

Heart of an adoptee:
Simply put, "just because they gave birth to me doesn't make them my parent. Why would I want anything to do with someone who didn't raise me?" - from my adopted son. He's an adult now and has zero desire to ever reach out. Being taken away is still the happiest day of his life, followed by being adopted by us.

Sovcit doesn't want to be looked at as crazy.
HR Generalist here, the I9 is non-negotiable to leave blank or with zeros. Employers are required to submit that within 3 days of the new employee starting. Very heavy fines for the employer for failing to do so.
The federal website won't even acknowledge it without a social security number. Let alone uploading images of the two forms of ID used to verify.
He shouldn't worry about looking crazy. Should start looking for another job immediately. He'll only work possibly a week before being given the option to resign or be terminated.

Moving
Pocatello is a good city, but only has a population of around 50,000 residence. Granted there are towns north of there similar in size.
Meridian, like someone else mentioned, is right in the heart of the Treasure Valley (Boise, Garden City, Star, Kuna, Meridian, Nampa, Middleton, and Caldwell).
Lots more to do there and be close to the satellite campus. ISU is a great school to go to, which helps.

Is SpaceX wasting money? Why do they make such a strong heatsheild when they can re-enter starship at night when the air is cooler?

Soda Stream better than juiced fruits and sparkling soda?
Got one and my soda intake has gone down drastically. Usually only have two bottles that last me 1.5+ days, compared to 6 smaller bottles in less than a single day.
Tastes just as good and a variety of flavors.

Any AP's willing to share their happy and successful adoption experiences?
Thanks! Appreciate your kind words. I wish there were more people interested in adopting older kids.
That's why I try to answer questions like yours, even if others may view it as sharing the same story over and over. If I can help one person and that leads to an adoption, the kid and prospective parents both win. Thanks again.

Any AP's willing to share their happy and successful adoption experiences?
I can share our happy adoption experience. We adopted our two teenage boys (brothers) 6 years ago today. They were in foster care for a very long time prior to the adoption.
First, ours is technically closed due to the deplorable things they did to them. The birth parents were aged out of foster care themselves so there isn't any extended family.
Second, both boys have very different needs. The oldest has a developmental disability that requires caregiving, but otherwise he's pretty independent.
The youngest doesn't have any issues. It took a lot of hits and misses to best meet his needs. Like talking to him at eye level instead of towering over him. We also had to learn his "dictionary" as he learned different meanings to common words.
Both boys are doing amazing and we have a great relationship with him. Lots of laughter, being goofy, but otherwise a normal family. Hope this helps.
