In case some folks don't know, the Grady School of Journalism is a popular and well respected program. At least enough that they present the Peabody Awards!

I had no idea she went through that program, and even worse (for me personally) it was when I was also in college πŸ˜“ ughh

Same here, I'm a computer engineer trying to do 20-30/week. So far the only places that will even talk to me are where I formerly worked full time.

I've had multiple people suggest that I simply agree to work full time and then just not, but I'm not sure if those folks realize how stressful that can be.

I wish you luck in your situation!

I'm right there with ya. Don't forget to make sure you set the interleaving correctly on your Winchester drive!

I had a portable talking version of battleship (Battleship Command) as a kid and it has these little planes. If I remember correctly, I think they allowed you to "see" a little bit of the opponents board and you placed them on top of your own ships?

Also the sound effects in that version were great, almost all done by human voice. The ship sinking sound was hilarious "glub glub glub"

Edit: in fact, this picture definitely looks like it's from Battleship Command!

I have no idea how I went this long without knowing The Salt Lick did all you can eat family style meal, apparently it's even at the top of the menu...

Although I'll admit my favorite parts are the mustard BBQ sauce and the hammock garden, agreed that the BBQ is meh. And having known lots of country folks, evading taxes by only taking cash sounds about right.

I don't think so, accessibility is a high priority for me.

Interesting, interesting. We call the female lightning bugs here glow worms because they are wingless, but today I'm learning that is not the case for all species!

Also GlΓΌhwΓΌrmchen is a cute word.

I grew up calling them lightning bugs, and I'm so excited to see a thread full of people calling them the same!
