Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

I would disagree and put southern USA above Scottish for sure.

That list is useless, because it left out Guernsey. And includes Noo Yawk.

I doubt you have heard a proper Guernsey accent. I don't even hear one on a regular basis.

Looks like it’s wrapped in a vintage Wonder Bread polka dot bag.

Tell me I’m wrong.

Jell-o Pudding Pops were more my jam. I doubt they are as good as I remember them. I mean, how could they be?

Oh man, I used to LOVE these, but they were super expensive and we couldn't afford them, so I only got them if someone brought them for their birthday treat at school, or if I was over at a friend's house and they had them. They don't have anything like that over here. Probably a good thing, since I shouldn't be eating them.

Tomorrow around here is the dreaded "Take Your Child To Work Day". Is this a National thing that will impact both of you as well?
So many of my school's students will be absent tomorrow.
Thank goodness it was NOT designated for today.
I had 2 Band Concerts earlier today.
Additionally...
I'm messaging from school as I await the time to receive the students and parents for this evening's performance.

@ajrwdwgirl

There are 35 of our 5th graders absent today! (out of 145 total 5th graders in our large Elementary School)

Additionally, there are a few of our school's teaching staff members who brought their own kids to school today.

I used to pick up an extra baby sitting gig a few times a month just so I could buy them.

I hated baby sitting, but I loved Jell-o pudding pops!

Back then, the going rate was a buck an hour. Finally went up to two bucks an hour as I was winding down. Anyone know the current rate for a run of the mill, teenaged baby sitter?

According to Reddit it’s $10-$15/hr here, with $12 being the average for a younger sitter, and $15 for an experienced, older, teenaged sitter.

I work with a lot of people from the Boston area....some people say I have a New York accent....the way I say coffee apparently.

But for those who has seen Kevin Costner's accent in 13 days....totally thought it was bad.

 

[JenniferS]

I don’t have an accent.

 

[Figgy1]

I don’t have an accent.

I have enough of one for both of us

Shame you would only get 10-15 bucks and hour .

Going rate when I was a teen was about 3.50 per hour for one kid, more for additional kiddos. I had a steady gig every weekend for 13 hours a day, but I only got $1 per hour for one kid. It was a single mom, cousin of a good friend of mine and she couldn't afford much so I was doing her a favor. I babysat that girl for a couple of years, and towards the end, her mom started dating this guy who she eventually married. He came home early one day and told me I could go if I wanted, asked me how much the mom usually paid me, and was so shocked. He said it wasn't enough and paid me three bucks per hour. I thought that was really nice of him. I earned it, too....that girl...she was difficult.

E went to gala tonight. She got to go in a really cool car because her friend had a family friend with an old fashioned car, and he had an extra spot. All her other friends already had arrangements and she was the only one without transportation, so he offered her a ride.
