What do you remember about your first day of school?

OpposingOpposum comments on Feb 21, 2018:

I rode the bus to school as I'd been desperately begging my mother to do.I t seems she hadn't researched the bussing well enough. So it was all a big adventure until I wound up at the wrong school and no one knew who I was or how to contact my parents.

Are your contributions "connecting" with others?

OpposingOpposum comments on Feb 21, 2018:

I scored between 2&4. I find this a little problematic however. 1. Lots of people read and comment on posts and other comments without liking them(occasionally guilty)2. People with unpopular opinions are just as important to discussion(if not more)as those who say what "everyone" is thinking. Do we really want anyone to think "shit, I'm in the wrong social media group". That seems mean spirited.

OpposingOpposum comments on Feb 21, 2018:

I can see why you'd feel that way. Personally I follow people because I'm interested in what they have to say. It's nice if they're "social" as well but I think of it as more of a "fan" relationship than an acquaintance relationship.
