QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ May 26, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) As anyone had luck on the apps on the phone finding someone? I use the typical gay apps like grinder and it seems its made for hookups. Wanted to ask the straight world has had any success? My daughter's current boyfriend is someone she met through one of the apps. It wasn't Tindr, I'm forgetting which one.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 26, 2016 -> 02:39 PM) Merits of Gawker and that specific case and award aside, it's pretty troubling if we can have billionaires use the court system to wage personal wars to shut down media companies. Or it highlights how corporations can run roughshod over the poor and middle class individuals without the deep pockets to fight for their rights. But I agree with your point.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 26, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) I made 23k out of college and afforded rent among other things. The people that say you need to make 70k to afford Chicago are full of s***. $18,800 in 1981. Entry level purchasing / product manager position.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 26, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) Systematic coverup of sexual assault shouldn't be required to be competitive. I understand the ncaa violations and whatnot but there is no excuse for that many adults in positions of power to ignore and discourage these types of things. I'm thinking more about the character of those athletes that they recruited. How they seemed to value athletic ability above everything.

How do years in the minors compare and contrast with years in college? Which is generally the fastest route to the show? Is it different by position?

Interesting article. I'm wondering if he would be MLB ready if he didn't go to college.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 26, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) I stand corrected. Art Briles = he gawn Good for Baylor, he built that program up for nothing, it's not easy to just fire him. It really makes you wonder what they uncovered in their investigation. I hope they can rebuild and continue winning. Otherwise it sends a message about what you need to do to win in college football that I really would hate to be true.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 26, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) I should point out, I think either way I'd probably charge a form of rent, but would follow the methods a few here referred to where it would go towards a savings account for them. My opinions would also be impacted if they lived for free at home and just wasted all of there money (vs. actually leverage it to get ahead and save for a house...hopefully my kids won't have to worry about student loan debt...it is a goal of mine to have them graduate in the best possible position for them to make themselves to be financially independent (ie, graduating debt free...however...after that, they got to maintain that and I hope my wife and I can teach them those values while they grow up, etc). I.e., never carry credit card debt, live under your means, needs vs. wants, selective splurging, etc. Personally, I want to be in a position that if I wanted to, I could quit working at 45 and do whatever the heck I pleased that made me happy. That isn't to say I actually plan on quitting work, but I'd like to be in a position where If I wanted to, I could (I think everything is more fun and enjoyable when you are doing it because you want to and have the choice...vs knowing you need to to pay the very next bill). Agreed I would rather my kids lived with me than going into crazy debt trying to live.

I lived at home until I got married. My mom washed my clothes for my honeymoon

How is it an academic problem? If someone has a C in math what should that represent?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ May 25, 2016 -> 08:36 PM) Just wanted to give everyone an update. I ended up ordering engraved flashlights. It was gonna be either this or engraved ammo boxes, but my fiancee thought the flashlights was moreof a "Don" thing since I collect flashlights and I always look for a certain kind. These are the ones I ordered... http://www.lazerdesigns.com/Merchant2/merc...ct_Code=FL17042 1,050 lumens, 5 lighting modes, durable build, should give good battery life as well. I like it.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 26, 2016 -> 09:54 AM) This will be the 11th start this season by a Sox 5th starter. They are 0-7 so far. That's 1996 and 2003 bad. Maybe the 11th time is the charm? LOL. Mark But wins don't matter in evaluating a pitcher Come'on give us a no decision from the starter!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 26, 2016 -> 10:23 AM) For us, it's a 70 or above and 9 or fewer absences From Memorial Day Thread QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 26, 2016 -> 10:09 AM) Studying for finals and work! Jose, have you been skipping school to watch Sox games?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 26, 2016 -> 10:23 AM) For us, it's a 70 or above and 9 or fewer absences Wow. I would have exactly one senior taking the exam and chances are he would be absent anyways.

I'm sitting here wondering how many franchises deserve dedicated fans over the past 50 years. Yankees? Dodgers? Cardinals? Braves? Red Sox? I have to believe our Sox are somewhere in the upper half.

What rent my son paid I gave back to him when he moved out. I don't know if he realized the amount of his housewarming gift happened to be just a little more than what he paid.

Is this a common thing? Where I teach any senior who has an 80 or above average for the semester and year for one year courses, three or less absences, and satisfactory citizenship is exempt from finals. About 70% of my AP Seniors will not be taking finals. I like this. Less for me to grade.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2016 -> 10:13 AM) Nick Swisher was tipping his pitches? That is news to me. I was thinking the same thing.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 26, 2016 -> 10:06 AM) If my kid graduates and moves back in to try and save money for their own place I'm perfectly fine with that. If they don't graduate, come home and we work out a rent agreement, I'm ok with that too. There will be no freeloading, that is not going to be accepted. So if the have a college degree they can stay rent free, without a college degree, they must pay rent? I like it. It's a nice incentive to finish college.

Grading papers, gardening, preparing for my summer golf camp, getting finals in place . . .

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2016 -> 09:33 AM) I do believe that school education is more than just what you learn from a test. Meeting a deadline with timely work is something that everyone is going to do no matter what job they do for a living. To me that is a critical lesson that is much better to learn as young as possible. But is it an academic or a behavioral problem?
