"Tell me something that will make me happy and sad at the same time"

[Loco Vette]

I have been on the board of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley for about 4 years now. For most of that time I have been pushing for some sort of statistic that we can use in fundraising that demonstrates that kids who go to the clubs fare better than their peers.

We had a board meeting yesterday. The Executive Director gave us the following information from the Knox County Schools.

Pre-Covid, 20% of economically disadvantaged kids were proficient at their grade level.

Currently, that is 12%.

Club kids are at 29%.

We're having good effects but damn.

Just wow

[Aerovette]

Realize that this has potential to create a great situation for you.

Maybe club kids have something better to do than get in trouble or vegetate in front of a TV or phone screen when not in school and those activities are incentives to do better?

Agreed, but absent that for these kids we are doing what we can. Kind of a bleak outlook though.

It will keep getting worse until it get's better.

You meet a beautiful 28 year old woman in a bar, the most beautiful woman you've ever seen, and you both hit it off due to immediate chemistry.

A month later, 23andMe links her to you as your illegitimate child from a past fling.

That started in 1979 when the Department of Indoctrination..........oops, "Education" was created.

One time, I was dating this hot chick for about a year, when she said "You know, you have one of the biggest dicks of all the guys in your fraternity."

Think of it like you're walking along the beach tossing starfish back into the ocean.

You can't save all of them but those you do, you'll make a BIG difference

Fail. Instructions were "happy and sad", not "sad then happy".
