Really? Sounds like a garbage business model to rely on word of mouth.
Lets see if anyone posts a thrift store not covered by the Google search that I linked.

No they definitely aren’t. They aren’t like glory holes. They are businesses.

Correct, wild guy somehow found his way into my friend's house. My guess is they probable have some mice around and he was hunting them.

>is that a pet weasel or a wild stoat?
Judging from its angry expression, my guess is wild stoat aka ermine aka short tailed weasel

While I completely agree that “elite” programs sell the dream too aggressively, D3 is accessible to decent athletes in most sports. You have to be careful here though- my son loves it and got regular playing time, but most of his friends from freshman year didn’t graduate with him, or graduated but left the team.
“D3 sucks,” you say. “No scholarships!” True, but he got a lot more merit scholarships than he probably deserved, had responsibility to other people which helped keep his grades up, and had a great support system. All very good things.

You mean they have interests other than sports? The audacity. High school basketball season is a full time commitment. Between practice and games these kids are at it six days a week. They also have to keep their grades high enough so they don’t get kicked off the team. It sounds like you’re trying to shame them for wanting to have jobs, pursue other hobbies, or simply spend time with family and friends.

It’s from a kids’ book by Jean Conder Soule. Was my favorite as a very young kid leading to a nickname of Weasel through my childhood.

So you’re saying you have found stores that don’t have a social media or online presence, and aren’t listed on Google Maps? I very much doubt it.
