Why is it in high school that girls can play boys sports, but a boy can't play volleyball or softball on a girls team?

---

Generally, this only happens when a girl wants to play a sport where there is no female equivalent, e.g. Football. Most schools will have a girls' basketball team in addition to a boys' team. Same with softball/baseball, tennis, swim, etc.

We have five children. Our oldest is 15. She took the ACT after her freshman year and made a 31. She was reading on 9th grade level by 3rd grade. She's drawing interest from schools like Columbia, Stanford, Miami, University of Chicago, Colgate, Brown, etc. While she hasn't placed at the state swim meet, she's qualified and competed three years in a row. All three of our oldest children are all straight A students in gifted and/or honors classes. Our oldest son is on the verge of making Eagle Scout; he will qualify for the state swim meet this fall. Our middle son is quickly moving up the ranks in scouting. He's a great kid. He even changed the sheets on his bed and his little brother's bed tonight without being asked. Our twins are not yet old enough to get grades, but they are the sweetest, kindest kids. They work hard, love everyone, and take care of each other. They are all great kids who look out for one another. We are so blessed!

Are their KKK hoods also exempt for religious reasons?

We have five small children. We find it convenient and beneficial to stop at children's museums and science museums on long road trips. Once you know your particular route, search for any science or children's museums on that path.

We like these because they allow the kids to be kids--running, playing, exploring--affording the children a nice respite from being strapped down in a seat belt. We also like them because they are not weather dependent, have clean bathrooms, and are filled with knowledgeable locals who can recommend restaurants or other points of interest. Of course, you could always grab something to eat at the museum, but I wouldn't recommend it.

If you have reciprocal memberships at your local children's museums or science museums, your admission is complimentary or reduced, assuming the facility you're visiting is a member of the Association of Children's Museums or Association of Science and Technology Centers. It's easy to look up online. There is also an Association of Zoos and Aquariums which also offers reciprocal benefits to participating members. A good friend of mine tells me there is an amazing science museum in Ohio (COSI, I believe) where she takes her children each time she goes to see family.

My son is named Atticus. No one has shortened it. There is another student at his school also named Atticus. No one gas shortened his either. It's a great name.

Guy behind the register at the first Canes (and only Canes at the time) told me it's mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper. That's as much as I remember anyway, and I'm not 100% on the ketchup. He told me most if not all of the recipe before another employee told him to shut up.

Buy a can of Static Guard and spray.

Btw, loved Auburn's James Bond show

---

TGBFTL did a James Bond show in the early 90s under Wickes/Moorehouse. Band formed a handgun a la 007 and "shot" it (6 or so band members marched out as the bullet) while playing the James Bond theme.
