Thanks for the reps @Jerseyphresh1! I take pride in your remark!

And see….you turned out alright. Mostly.

Exactly! I kinda totally acceptable

Never heard of them until the last 10 or so years. Fact aside, kids are overly coddled today to their own mental and physical detriment. Without getting political and conspiracy theory, I personally think it by design. And yes, that has been happening since the 60's

I’ve been hearing the participation trophy argument my entire life. Funny thing is, it’s my parents generation that handed them out. When complaining about younger generations, don’t forget which generation made them that way….

How pathetic!

I know that feeling.. Nuclear bomb drills were terrifying for me as an Elementary student. Our location was in an identified target area, due to the nearby Air Base and turbine engine factory...So it was the norm. Later in Junior High I realized exactly how worthless these drills were. So during a drill, the Shop teacher led us to the fallout shelter and instructed us to crouch and put our head between our knees. I looked at him and said, ' It's very important that we all do this.. Right?' He said, ' Of course it is!' I said, 'Well, I guess you're right because we all need to be in the best position to kiss our own a$$es goodbye if the bomb should hit near enough..'

Earned myself a week's worth of detention with that remark...

We got participation medals instead of trophies in the 80s and 90s. Ice cream Sunday for a trophy and just a plain cone for a medal

Question for you hydro peoples: Will check valves prevent siphoning from the res?

Apparently not. I just had to figure this out like, this week. Check my current grow thread but solution seemed to be lowering my rez well below the dripper level

The only thing we got when losing was a teachable moment on how not to get your ass kicked the next time. No trip to the snack bar after losing! Played all through childhood and into college. Soccer, football, baseball, and skated. Soccer in college on a scholarship at Cal until my knees went to complete shit.

Think I should have been a hockey player though. Fit my style a bit better! Now let's take the train into the city for a Devils/Islanders game!
