    I need a new Crock-Pot

    in BGP Break Room

    Posted

    Just curious...why do we need food cooked in a hurry? When I was young, working and had babies, I loved my crock pot! Put it on when I went to work and had dinner waiting when I got home. Crock pots are simple. My instapot has all kinds of settings and instructions. Doesn’t seem so carefree. I doin’t think the taste or quality is worth it either. If I am missing something, PLEASE enlighten me. My instanpot which I was thrilled to try, is gathering dust in my basement.

     

    Now that I am older, we actually enjoy cooking. We can actually do that as we rock in our rockers!

    I don’t always have time to prepare food to put in the crockpot before I go to work. It’s nice to come home and be able to cook a hot meal in a short amount of time.

     

    I have ave certain recipes that I make in my InstaPot and others in my crock pot. I will never make ribs in anything but my InstaPot. As for all of the settings, I’ve only ever used the sauté function and high pressure.

    Hmm, interesting, I've never met another gentile (making an assumption) with that back-story....not a single one.

    For my family (and it may be cultural), Christmas had more of a focus on the religious aspects.

     

    We always did our giving of gifts on Christmas Eve. It was still very special to me, because I think that the lighted trees are so much more beautiful at night. Also, somehow, it still felt more like a celebration of Christ's birth than an inundation of gifts.

    I never drive anywhere without it. My daily commute is 40 minutes and I keep my phone plugged in the whole time. When I get to my destination, my battery has more charge than it did when I left.

     

    When the eclipse occurred, I traveled to Kentucky Dam Village to see totality. On the way back, it rerouted us and was a total lifesaver. I’m talking HOURS shaved off our trip, as others I know got stuck in the traffic.

    Incident involving a player and fan during Paintsville/Williamsburg game

    in Controversial Issues

    Posted

    This slightly different video appears to show that the individual on the sideline goes to try and help Paintsville defensive back #15 Justin Ramey off the ground rather than the Williamsburg quarterback #10 Dalton Ponder. Or at very least, his initial concern is certainly taking care of helping the Paintsville player to his feet rather than the Williamsburg player that he just took a cheap shot at.

     

    Also, I'm not sure whether or not it's been commented on in this thread, but this particular video also seems to throw a bit of a wrench in the "protecting the cheerleaders" narrative, since if you watch the lower left of the video, you'll see a Paintsville defender go tumbling out of bounds at the 36 yard line and ACTUALLY roll into the cheerleaders. The Paintsville player is completely disregarded than the guy who's there "protecting the cheerleaders" because he's too locked in on taking a shot on the Williamsburg quarterback at the time.

    Yeah. This doesn’t help him at all. He doesn’t help the guy up. He goes over to the player from his own team.

    Thanks for your insight.

     

    I’m sure my opinion may be an unpopular one, but I’d rather cut smaller sports than charge students to get in games. Every school doesn’t need to offer every sport. As I alluded to earlier, I don’t thinks schools are making that much off students anyway, but I could be wrong.

    I would say that attendance percentage make-up would differ from school to school, but let’s say that it is 100 students in a 500 student school. At $5 per student x 5 games, that’s $2500...or the budget of baseball or boys/girls golf and tennis. That budget just pays some of the bills. They have to fundraiser the rest.

     

    Research shows that commitment to at least one extracurricular activity greatly improves a student’s chances of graduating. In addition, the value of teamwork and competition that is learned is a major reason why I choose cross country over letting student spectators in free.

    What percentage of the crowd at a high school football game is students? 10-15%? If they are surviving because of charging students, then they need to make major cuts elsewhere. Students should not be charged to go to high school sporting events. IPeriod.

     

     

    Okay. Which secondary sports do you want to cut? Particularly at small schools, they rely on gate attendance at football and boys basketball games to fund baseball, golf, tennis, etc.

     

    For about half of my teaching career, I’ve been a member of the Site Based Decision Making council at my school (two in my career). I’ve been privy to the costs, gate receipts, fundraising and other information. In many instances, it’s a worry year to year on how to balance it all.

     

    In theory, I agree that letting in students for free would be great. In practice, it wouldn’t work for most public schools.

    I saw it a bit differently. I felt that South’s turnovers and bad punt were the factors that resulted in their loss. BG was able to capitalize on those (a couple of nice short fields) whereas South didn’t (got the interception but then lost it in the red zone.) Having watched a lot of South’s games this year (and this is no knock against BG), I didn’t see anything that made me feel that scheduling was an issue in this one.

     

    South had a great year and continues to improve. Coach Reed was again named district Coach of the Year and DE Luke Clark was named Player of the Year. In his time at South, Coach Reed has taken a team that, before him, went 0-10 and losing to the teams that people now accuse South of playing a weak schedule with to a team consistently making it several rounds in the playoffs.
