I actually had this kid last week! The difference is that his pencil was also missing the eraser. He actually asked me for an eraser that fits on the end. I offered him a new pencil, his reply was "Nah, in trying to see how long I can actually use it". We had a good laugh, and I told him when he finally couldn't use it anymore, let me know, because I have plenty. Seriously though, what is your pencil policy?

I find pencils laying in the halls, on my floor, in the grass outside, etc. They become my “loaners.” I haven’t bought pencils in three years!

My rule is it has to be longer than your pinkie. (Otherwise it gets stuck in sharpener!)

We actually have teachers who write kids up for not having a pencil, others make the drop a shoe or their ID badge to borrow a pencil. I'm like "we have things more serious than borrowing pencils". People will donate pencils if you need them or get them in the Back-to-school clearances

I am starting to question my existence in this world. I have a nice job, decent salary, i work out and eat healthy, maintain my health, read 3 to 4 books every month, dont have any personal commitments (single), in my early 30s and things cant be any better. Of course with the exception that i had a real bad break-up with my fiancé 6 months ago. And i dont have any symptoms of depression, but there are days when i just feel like what is all this for?

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago). I suspected this at first but it hurts to have it confirmed and see her telling her friends about him. I’m not sure how I should feel since I went out of line to look through her phone.

A relative is raising a teenage son with her ex-husband. They have joint physical custody. The ex-husband has re-married. When the son is in his care, he often leaves the son at home in California with his (new) wife when he travels for work (which is often). The relative wants her ex-husband to leave their son in her care when he travels out of town but the ex-husband disagrees. The relative wants to know her chances of prevailing if she were to appear in court on this issue. Thoughts? Thanks!

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?

Cause my thinking is more of the former where you give the photographer their own take of the idea. Curious to know how you do it.
