Enjoying reading through this thread.
Back in 2014 when our kids were 6 (son) and 4 (daughter) we were in LA for a long weekend. One morning at breakfast we told the kids we were taking them to Knott’s Berry Farm (it’s an amusement park) after breakfast.
So, we’re in the car heading down the highway and about 10 minutes into the drive our son says, “Why is it taking so long? I thought we were going to Not Very Far.”
Now that kid is 17 and starting the college application process.

“Norwegian fuel company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced it will cease supplying fuel to U.S. military forces in Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent U.S. policy towards Ukraine.”
I will be ok as my wife (EE degree from UT) is a VP and makes very good money. One more promotion for her and I’m retiring.
Hopefully, this is just a speed bump for your daughter. Honestly though, going into industry for a bit could be a good thing for her.
“A suspect has not yet been identified, but investigators believe that the victim knew the perpetrator and are treating this case as a potential domestic violence incident. However, the perpetrator's motive remains unclear.”
I was a decent JC basketball player and DIII wide receiver; however, becoming a female in order to be more dominant in a sport never crossed my mind. Man, I could have been a DI All-American in women’s basketball.
Agree. The situation I mentioned happened a few years before COVID. I am sure best practices have been updated. I’m sure that a designation of non-binary is frightening to some people.
My wife’s sister is a pediatric urologist and has worked with families to choose a child’s gender in cases where the child’s sex characteristics are ambiguous. She has created penises and vaginas. Say the parents and doctor choose male (which is what a Dad chose after my wife’s sister gently recommended female based on the situation). What happens later as the child is growing up and identifies more as female? Is that person a male or female?
I wasn’t sure where to put it. Since trump and republicans are pushing the idea that transgender people shouldn’t exist, don’t deserve any rights, or are sub-human, I posted it here. An admin is free to move it to a different forum.
