The Ivy League is an Athletic Conference - there are 8 schools in the conference and Stanford isn't one of them. The schools in the Ivy League are all excellent but many, in fact, most excellent schools are not in the Ivy League. Let the term go.
I would really like to know what moron decided to bold font discussions that have been completely read, it's like "HEY - Pay attention - Here's stuff you've already SEEN!!!". smh.

Well dang! The company is indeed stopping having the product my doctors in three states have ordered as medically necessary for me! I'm very unhappy and not sure what to do next. I am in conversation with a national ombudsman as well as my insurer and have emailed my doctors in three states. This follows a national trend of discontinuing this vital product! The driver warned me of this when I saw him on Wednesday and sure enough I got a formal letter about this today.

So gym people- thank you for wiping the equipment after you sweat all over it, but it would be nice if you also wiped the pools of sweat you leave on the floor. Yuk.

Should have posted this yesterday, but better late than never.
My father was a mechanical engineer who helped create the air conditioning design of the Apollo 11 (and other Apollos) in Huntsville Alabama. Specifically, he solved a problem with the transition between pre-and post takeoff A/C systems (among other things). It was the highlight of his life to have spent a decade with a host of others in this effort, a tiny part in making history. (Not bad for a poor boy, one of eight children, whose father was a groundskeeper/janitor in the deep South). His work gave me an exciting childhood in a place that ushered in the future with a spirit of optimism and idealism. Congratulations, Daddy, and happy 50th, wherever you are...

Just because you can take four bags at 70 lbs each on vacation doesn't mean you should. I cannot help you schlep all of this. I don't want to use your smaller bag because it will fit your CPAP on a two-night side trip. The bag is 8 lbs heavier than mine and there will be no room for any of my stuff. You can put the CPAP in a different bag. I'm trying to stay under 30 lbs total.
You haven't been listening to me about my limitations. You may have to learn the hard way. Unfortunately that likely involves something far more serious.

No, No, NO!!!!! Our friend's children who themselves have 2 very little children, and who give so much of themselves to the community, are NOT supposed to DIE. My heart is completely broken.

I learned a lesson today. I thought I could have a civil social media discussion with some former high school classmates about a political post. It didn’t go well. I’ve lost some friends. I think i expected rational thinking, and that might not be a “thing” on facebook anymore.

When we didn't respond to your email noting that we must have lost your grown son's and daughter's email addresses because they didn't receive an invitation to our S's engagement party, you didn't get the message. You emailed again to say they didn't get an invitation and really want to come. Really?

Every time I see a teenager claiming to have started a business / nonprofit, I think of you, and your profile that makes similar claims. I was enough of an insider to see that your parents provided hundreds of thousands of dollars of funding, worked 80 hours a week with no compensation, and paid you for all the hours you wanted to work - 2 or 3 a week. When you went off to college, they cut their losses and closed it down.

Don't be surprised if some of your employees quit in the next week. Think with your head and not your butt before hitting the "send" button. Not your lawyer and don't even pretend to be one, just speaking from personal experience - it feels really good to say "I quit" to an a-hole boss.

Also, I am appalled by my typo in a post.
