    Things like trying to look up girl's skirts, smoking cigarettes in the bathroom without getting caught by the teachers, and laughing/joking with friends until you're red in the face.

    And those games can come back to haunt you 40 years after they were played...

    I would've had some police dropping some charges and getting sued if they were recorded doing what they did to me. Maybe they wouldn't have done what they did to begin with back then!

    But back to technology...They're thinking of having all cell phones BANNED from schools. I think that's good. I never missed them. heck, I still don't own a smart phone. My step-daughter has had one for 12 years or more now. :D She's 39 though. But before her smart phone, she had a flip phone since they first came out I believe.

    High school with smartphones. ugh. It's annoying to have almost every single person around you glued to a screen 24/7. I wasn't homeschooled in the 8th grade, so this is something I know. I used to want a smartphone, but now when I look at my friends, I don't want to have this little thing that I am completely addicted to.

    Really? that's great. Most of my friends would call that the worst thing in the world, but I think that would be awesome, to be able to have your friends attention when you talk to them.

    It seemed to be dead a few posts after he posted, but then Tony came in and gave me suggestions of audio, Italian food, and girls. :D

    I went to an old fashioned all boys high school in the UK, and very occasionally they would send us a trainee teacher for period or two. Once (and once only) they sent a girl straight out of college. By 1960's standards her skirt was not short, but it was still a mini skirt. Every boy in that class dropped his pen/pencil at least three times and hit the deck to pick it up in that 40 minute period.

    Polish joints -- I'm thinkin' there's a bad marijuana joke just waiting to be born, there.

    Well,in your neck of the woods a guy is using MJ to get his lobsters high before cooking them. I suppose we could do the same for cattle. Bunch of cattle out in the field, running into each other, then they throw a Hershey bar into the line for them to get slaughtered. :)

    It's actually a woman, I believe. In Maine.
    Here's an update -- this may have gotten lost in the scuffle of some other news headlines lately ;)

    Went to the doctor today, and they said a lot of doctor-y stuff I didn’t understand, but basically, they said I’m okay, and that it was probably a mix of dehydration and getting older, which is apparently a cause for this. They did say that I have a relatively low resting heart rate, or something like that, and that could also be a cause, but they said that it isn’t even close to dangerously low.
    Basically, I was told to drink water, and to be careful.
    Thanks for your tips, I am glad I went to the doctor because, as you all said, it could have been something much worse.

    I’m not sure what they were called, but he checked my heart rate and blood pressure, did a couple other things involving blood, and a few other things, although I’m not really sure what they were. I wasn’t able to replicate this issue while I was there, because since I’ve been drinking more water it hasn’t bothered me.
    I can ask my mom what all they did, and I’ll get back to you.

    All good, was just curious if he/she ordered specific tests or something.

    Glad to hear that the symptom hasn't been happening anymore.

    If you thought I was implying that was a bad thing, it wasn’t.

    That expression is frequently heard just before "Here, hold my beer and watch this.". It is rather less frequently heard afterwards ;)
