So, two women having it at the same time( in the same home), is a Bi-cycle?

Only IF they are non-Bi-nary IRL. /Cue rimshot sound file

Bi-the-Bi ... That actually is referred to as being "sync's up".

Here's an interesting illustration to throw out there ... My father was raised a devout catholic, but was a die-hard evolutionist, to the point where it caused problems with his family. Dad poo-pooed all organized religion ... until he met Reverend Norquist, who postulated that religion and science are not mutually exclusive. Our reverend almost got excommunicated because he noted, publicly, that Heaven's time is vastly different from ours. seconds to eons and such. Who was to say that evolution wasn't "Someone" tweaking an experiment (Life on Earth) to make it better. We do it with our birds all the time, and we aren't really scientists, just people with a vision and the time to develop it. He went on to venture that the dinosaurs could well have been a project headed completely in the wrong direction ... and got scrapped so the project could proceed in a more effective manner.
No matter what the concrete belief under it, that simple thought was enough to bring my Dad "back" and taught me that looking past the dogma to question the bigger - in nearly anything - can yield surprisingly enlightening results.

I explained the science v religion argument the same way to DD when she was younger.
Oh, we are Catholic as well. Thank you for taking the time to explain so well.

I think that was my father. I believe he made it through the 6th grade.

So did mine, got his GED in his 30's to start his own plumbing business. Smartest man I have ever known.
God rest his soul

That depends on if there was some variable clarified.......
Did it(your school) have insulation? Indoor plumbing? Electricity? What type of heat system(fireplace, coal or fuel oil burner, boiler?) How many rooms did it have & for what grade(s?) Too.

You might of had a Sr. High which was designated (from my experience) to either be a 6th-12th or 8th-12th grades.
Or
Little House on the prairie (on room school house w/no insulation plumbing or electricity.

The sad part is that your father probably got more of the Three R's - Readin', Ritin' and Rithmatic - than a lot of kids get, today. Sure, they're learning a lot more on different subjects, simply because education covers a broader area, these days. But, those basic, necessary skills have suffered greatly, IMO, and we need to take steps to correct the problem. If we don't, we're ALL going to have to pay for it in the long run ... and I worry that the "run" is not too far off, right now!
