@Tago-Mago Haha yes, there is that. WV public schools are not known for their scholarly students though unfortunately. I have a feeling I will be teaching endlessly at home, perhaps moreso on account of this.

@Oaktavia I was going to make a crack about all of the smart ones moved away…but I really give you credit for giving those kids a chance.
The school system was much better when I was growing up, but I know and see how it’s changed. It hurts to go home, so much so that I haven’t been able to go “home” in years. Most of my friends left and moved away…the ones that stayed make me sad

@goosehd I am hoping that the tides turn for the better, but I will not hold my breath. I just feel lucky enough to have been born a Marylander and grew up on that side of the Potomac. Plus, the Maryland border is about two minutes from our house as the crow flies. So we are just barely into the panhandle as it is. I would imagine way down in those hollers it is a much different way of living. I haven't even traveled further than Davis or Morgantown. At least we will have some fun time exploring those areas for future vacations. WV is so naturally beautiful so I am happy to explore the state with my little one(s) when the time comes. I would rather drive into Appalachia than the Eastern Shore of Maryland any day. Fuck 495.

@Tago-Mago We know

@Oaktavia just make sure if you film a birth video, the camera is pointed in the right direction. I pulled a boomer move and got a selfie video of my reaction to the birth instead of the birth itself

@chillmonroe oh my gosh hahaha

@Tago-Mago a little of both.....
Edit: also for clarification in the measuring of urine amount/volume there were cups involved

Family movie night suggestion:
I’ve got an 8 yr old girl & 12 yr old boy, nobody complained!! They even both liked it more or less, and I did too.
No people/speaking, so it was cool in that regard as well… - topic:timeago-later,7 days
