We said the pledge in the mornings in elementary school in the 80s. I don't believe it was held in middle or high school. I never thought twice about it and I don't think any of the other kids did either. Can't remember any issues arising over it then. I couldn't really care less about whether or not schools continued to hold it now.

Glad to help!

From the stats I can find, it's pretty close to a 50/50 split in the US for IOS/Android; IOS slightly ahead.

I've Got Some Balls?

Kinda sounds like Marble Madness that I used to play a lot on NES. Found Switchball by searching for games similar to Ballance. Is that it?

Mexican is a nationality, not a race.

I'd do all the things that most people would do. Pay off debts, help out family/friends, invest, donate, etc.

Other than that, I'd buy a castle. Something like this. Living in such an old place like that with all the history associated with it seems really cool to me.

Have you heard of Cockney rhyming slang? Take a word like "fart", use a two part word that rhymes with it, like "raspberry tart", then drop the rhyming part. That leaves you with "raspberry" meaning "fart" and no discernible connection to the old words this utterance/meaning pair came from.

So that's where "blowing raspberries" came from? Pretty neat.

The first game I played on PC that I can remember was probably Word Munchers or Oregon Trail in elementary school in the late 80s.
