Unfortunately, it was during my generation that they outlawed Red Rover at recess. We did have it for a few years though.

For me, some of them are still accessable, but the people aren't.

Yeah, in this middle of the night, rudely awakened I can remember the phone number from 55 or more years ago, address etc. but not my current cell number when someone asks for it in the middle of the day when I’m awake!

I'm the one that tangles myself in cords and doesn't know how it happens.
My Daughter once watched me vacuum and it happened. She asked me how I did it and she was watching. I replied that it was one of my savant talents that I don't get paid for.
Good choice.
He Opened Up at a Netflix Retreat ‘Trust’ Exercise—Then, He Was Fired
It’s not ketamine that brought about the termination of a Netflix executive. It’s that he foolishly believed a “trust” exercise would be held confidentially.
The New York Post reports Netflix terminated vice president and head of creative at Eyeline (owned by Netflix) Kevin Baillie, in part because he confessed to receiving ketamine at a clinic as part of treatment for depression.

During what’s called a “Vulnerability-Trust exercise” at a January 2026 retreat at the exclusive Sendero Ranch, a Northern California property owned by Netflix, Baillie shared with his colleagues that he had undergone the [ketamine] treatment, the suit says.
There is so much wrong with this—if any of it is true. It’s a lesson in exactly what not to do, whether you’re acting as a company leader or as an employee—or both.
Stop playing doctor
Baillie should not have shared his medication history with his colleagues, but once he did, no boss or HR person should have questioned what that means. Ketamine can sound scary, and it can be abused, but ketamine is a legal drug when used under prescription from a licensed provider. It’s used for a variety of conditions, including depression, which is what Baillie said he used it for.
The New York Post reports that the Netflix company attorney said, “the ketamine therapy issue has factored into the termination.” The ketamine accusation isn’t the only thing Netflix objected to. He also had a propensity to use profanity and engaged in a beer-drinking stunt at the same retreat. If you want to terminate someone for profanity, terminate them for profanity. If you want to terminate them for a beer-drinking stunt, terminate them for a beer-drinking stunt. But including a legal prescription drug,...

Crossbowboy is careful about what he reveals to his coworkers.
Be like crossbowboy.

Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it...

I'd like to see a video of someone wrestling the dog into that bag.
I can barely get mine to wear a harness or snow coat or endure a towel drying!
