I've remembered this whole time. It was actually one-on-one wrapped into my counseling sessions in school. I loved it. I got so good at the cards my psychologist gave me her deck I was using to keep 😂 – at Chico, CA
📚 Were you in GATE (Gifted and Talented) programs as a child? What do you remember? DO you remember? Zener Cards, headsets, ‘pink drinks’, Oregon Trail… What do you remember, and why do so many who were in these programs have no memories at all of what happened during ‘class’…?💡 #GATEgate

I have my reasons for checking out of the news. Seeing these absolutely ridiculous & unreal headlines coming when Trump was re-elected was the biggest reason. I don't need more reasons to question what reality is 😂🤣 independent.co.uk/news/world… – at Chico, CA

On 27 December 2002, an organisation called Clonaid announced that it had produced the first cloned human being, a baby girl it called “Eve.” Clonaid said she had been born the previous day and was a genetic copy of her 31-year-old American mother, created using a nuclear-transfer procedure. In January 2003, Clonaid’s director, Brigitte Boisselier, testified in a Florida court that Eve was in Israel. The Israeli branch of the Raëlian movement likewise publicly stated that Eve and her mother were in Israel. Clonaid subsequently claimed that it had produced several additional cloned humans, including children supposedly located in the Netherlands and Japan.
