"Thomas, I appreciate your take on this. I think once people have time, our members will continue making appearances on T-Ten and 6S. I admire everyone that has the stamina to do this everyday. At this time I cannot. Both sites are awesome."

I joined my son as star student of the week for lunch and brought pizza.The rest of the students morosely gobbled their cheese filled breadstick that was a insult to even the pathetic school lunches of my youth in the 17 minutes allotted to eat.Smiling pretty young teachers with tattoos and nose rings in jeans patroled the perimeter of the tables and all wearing neclaces of paper megaphones with microphones about their throats to be heard over the din to provide constant behavior…See More
