A camelbak vest under a regular jacket would probably do the trick.

Yeah it could get rough. The problem was mainly one kid who wanted to spear tackle everyone.

Early 90's. It started out as tag, but we thought tackling would be more fun.

I went to school in a few towns, but I only recall playing this in Armidale, NSW.

Everyone runs across the field together, while one person tries to tag as many people as they can. If you're tagged then you are also a tagger in the next round. Repeat until one person is left, who starts the next game.

We were actually banned from playing this because we preferred to tackle instead of tagging. Nobody got seriously hurt, but the teachers thought it was only a matter of time.

That at least serves a purpose. Or we could use the Shavian characters and slowly transition to a phonetic writing system.

That soy filler is the bane of my existence. I'm intolerant to legumes, and I'm pretty sure soy additives are the reason almost all manufactured foods affect me. In theory, I should be able to eat bread, but it's very rare to find any that doesn't include soy.

I'm pretty sure all my "gluten free" family are actually reacting to the soy too.

That was quite an episode. Something is very wrong with that man.

Netflix is the only one I have left now, and that's only because I share the account with multiple people, so it's more like 1/4 of a subscription. If I cancelled they would end up with more subscribers.

You're right to be concerned. Something similar happened in my family, and it did not end well at all.

The ages were more like 16 and 36, which is legal here, and her family supported it, but that didn't stop the grooming accusations. When the relationship failed (which is very likely when one partner has very little life experience), his reputation was ruined. He was severely beaten by other men who thought they were protecting her, and he was effectively run out of town.

However they might feel now, not everyone will see it the same way. This has consequences.

The opposition party's equivalents for actual ministers.

I get this from observing myself.

Like if I don't think about it at all I can touch-type, but the moment I'm aware of it I need to look at the keyboard.

I didn't know Tasmania has bumblebees until I moved here. You don't get them in the rest of the country. They're such adorable insects.
