Yeah, so this happened.

How did you get from "kid not doing well in school" to "Google search tips"?

All you need to do well in school is be good at searching google and wikipedia, remember? </sarcasm>

 

[SandEagle]

why even bother?

Black and white Kindles are no good for porn.

Just get him a Galaxy Tab or iPad.

How did you get from "kid not doing well in school" to "Google search tips"?

He went from

1. I'm going to ignore this potentially important email that was accidentally sent to me

to

2. He decides a kid he has never met, and at best knows very little about, is a good kid

then he somehow interjects himself into the discussion, which he probably obnoxiously does in real life(you know, one uppers)

3. For some insane reason mentions he didn't do well in school either(surprise? we see how he turned out)

4. Now he goes into amazingly crazy "suggestions" for the kid. Holy shit...

5. Somehow gets invited to come speak(damage) children directly?

6. Ponders buying the kid a kindle to make himself feel better. This will never actually happen


Idk how you guys are encouraging this nutjob

I felt bad for the kid because I was on the same path at one time. I would have appreciated someone reaching out and it may have put me on a different course.


slayer, I don't think we've met in real life. But I know you do your best to look down on everyone else to try and make yourself feel better. So here is a virtual "it's OK 2 B you!" sticker you can hang in your locker, right next to your 5th place participation ribbons.

So to make yourself feel better, you thought about buying the kid a kindle. You boosted that up by making this thread. I called you a psychopath because you're insane. And now you're trying to make yourself feel better again by calling me out for trying to make myself feel better?

I get no pleasure out of calling out insane people or idiots on a message board, I just feel it needs to be done for the good of the people who may not see the bullshit

This will not end well...

I'll donate $20 to the pot if Rage posts a video of his "lecture"

 

[Imp]

I would have told them to f*ck off... Nice job.

 

[Rage187]

I speak to two classes this Monday. I'll get the teacher to record a few minutes on a phone or something.

slayer202, please make your $20 donation @ http://us.movember.com/donate/

Sorry, we couldn't find the person you were looking for.

This is one of those times when I use ” cool story, bro” and literally mean it.

OP: good job, hope nothing negative comes about from it (today's crazy society makes you think there is always someone ready to sue for any good deed).

Aside:

I'm now on the sport's parents email list of some small private K-8 (I think) school in Texas (I'm in Michigan). Idiot volleyball coach (I knew she was an idiot since her emails were all signed "Sent from my iPad") couldn't figure out that she had the wrong email address.

I have a gmail account under myname.and.wifesname@gmail.com and I assume a pair of parents down there have the same names. She tried removing the periods in the address which I told her didn't work. Eventually I think spotted a reply by the real parents with the proper email address...but now I get crap from all the team parents.

Last winter another couple with the same names were getting married in New Zealand. Had a handful of people try to RSVP with me...looked like spam at first then I got more of them and things linked up to reality. No one ever put me in touch with the real couple

 

[clamum]

I wish someone would've given me Google tips when I was a youngin.

The whole thing seems kinda weird to me, if the OP is serious, but I guess he's just being helpful.

 

[Rage187]

His parents were notified and they are cool with it. This was important to me:

Should be fun! ***** has no idea, though I told his parents the other
night at Parent Conferences that you may be dropping in. Everyone
thought the whole story was pretty cool...

sorry dp

 

[artvscommerce]

nice work! the world could use a few more people like yourself.

 

[zanejohnson]

what a nice thing to do

 

[Puppies04]

Crazy world. My dad accidentally met a lady in New York because of some addressing issues in AOL. They became best friends.

Is that what they are calling it now?

 

[The_Dude8]

OP, did you get the kid the kindle?

 

[Rage187]

OP, did you get the kid the kindle?

I did not but since his parent are aware now, I may do so. It was just too weird before they knew.

I'm going to keep the talk positive. I had a list of bad things that happened to me and stupid decisions I made but I remember back to when they used to bring people to talk to my school, and the only thing I ever thought was how much their life sucked. I was sent to Scared Straight a couple times; the only thing I learned from those trips was that I would end up as someone's wife. That really only taught me to not get arrested.

Picked up an original Kindle at BestBuy. The price difference between that and the paper white version is ridiculous. I cheaper out but the original serves the purpose. The family and I leave early tomorrow morning fora few hour drive. Going to IKEA to make the trip worth it for the wife^^
