Dictionaries vary, but I've found that 'Native American' refers to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas... They inhabited the Americas before the arrival of European settlers in the 15th century.
Thanks to Columbus who thought he reached India, called them Indians.
I was told that the US government relocated many African slaves to Indian reservations. That created mixed blood African Americans, many of which who can prove their lineage are entitled the same reparations as the Native Americans.
Single... is that the real issue here? I doubt you scan women's profiles but of the blogging community, I estimate that 30% are married, 10% are separated (still married) 50% aren't looking to be in a relationship. That leaves 10% who are single/divorced and looking. I saw a few looking for a 3-way affair in the mix.
I blogged lots of times for all the struggles of being divorced and in the dating mill, hoping to find a woman to click with. Times when I was $30K in debt, switched jobs a few times. Back then, dating women who expected dinner on a first date... you didn't get a chance for a coffee meetup. Do you want to hear more about the failures? 4 to 5 new contacts every week.
It must have been 12 years ago I met a woman who was 50 miles north of me. I drove to her city for a coffee meeting. We both liked what we saw and I suggested lunch instead of coffee, so we went to a nearby restaurant. We talked for nearly 2 hours but had to leave as we each had other things to do. She hugged me in the parking lot and expressed how she was so happy to meet me. I called her for a date and she told me I lived 'too far away' for a relationship and didn't want to see me. She's still on that site and updated her photos not long ago... in 12 years, she hasn't found her 'mister right'
1) I dislike the look of knee length cargo pants. (and they are overpriced, some more expensive than slacks)
2) I was actually looking for tennis shorts. Usually only found in pro shops at twice the cost of cargo shorts.
3) The length I wanted was found in another department. Women shorts. Not knowing what women's size compares to men's sizes, I held an 18 and later found the 12 to be the correct size.
4) If my butt fits size 12, there must be something wrong about the labeling.
suzie, I'm sorry you feel that way about me, when all I stated was how some political and religious blogs invite differences of opinion that often start arguments. It was an assessment/observation... actually humorous with no intent to change or repress anyone of their actions. You perceived it was my attempt of teaching members how to blog, then I disagree. Also, nowhere in any of my blogs did I suggest comment aren't welcome.
1) Thanks for your comment. 2) Don't be confused. 3) I don't know what 'sheep blogging' is, can you cite some examples? 4) As blog OP you have every right to limit the length of your blogs, delete offensive or inflammatory comments... it's often recommended to do some censoring when someone tries to derail the focus of your blog. That could be argued either way as your own level of discretion may be totally different than other members. 5) Typically locking your blog is a signal all contributing parties had their say 'enough is enough' or it's run it's course and nothing more needs to be said. 6) I wasn't upset by either blog. 7) I fail to see why you thought something in either of those blogs upset me. 8) Nearly every one here knows how to 'back door' a locked blog and continue to make comments. 9) There are a few members who strike the first blow on opposing comments. That's part of the runaway formula and creates a venue for tit-for-tat where others jump in all supporting their side. 10) It's purely my observation and not personal.
My brother responded to the email with details about the 2 photos of our father and uncle. Dad was on the US Missouri traveling around the Pacific and my uncle was in flight training in California. They met up in San Fransisco when the ship was in port for supplies and my dad took leave. Certainly a one-time chance for the brothers to meet before my uncle went to Europe. History records the Missouri was the ship where Japan signed the surrender, signaling the end of WWII.
There is a short video clip in the link I provided.
'She' is Clark County Judge Mary Kay Holthus who was sentencing Deobra Redden, who was charged with attempted battery with substantial bodily harm. He was expecting probation and attacked the judge when his bail was denied.
Wrinkley, my friend is the go anywhere do anything person. He works for an electronics firm that sometimes gets out-of-town contracts to do wiring for stadiums or events like golf tournaments where they go in weeks before the event, trench for underground wires. The grass covers over their work and the TV sound truck has all the connections. There aren't enough hours in the day when 2 events are scheduled next to each other. So the 'check engine light' phrase means things that are not done have to wait for a while. He's an insomniac and sometimes stays up most of the night reading... anything of interest. I know for a while it was science fiction but his interest in guns probably has him studying manuals, specifications and technical details... probably shared mental and physical strain.
According to U-Haul, these were the top 5 cities people moved to in 2023: 1)Palm Bay, Melbourne, FL 2)Ocala, FL 3)Charleston-North Charleston, SC 4)Sarasota-Bradenton, FL 5)Austin, TX
Hi Dani, thousands of blogs were trimmed from the system last year as many as a hundred per day. Not sure if the system was full of they had technical problems. That would explain if you went looking for an old blog and couldn't find it.
Yes, very different... especially when millions of Americans perceive his words as incitement of a riot, leading to an insurrection. I'm expecting more states to follow in removing his name in the Republican primary.
Yes, the $694 per month is ONLY my HOA for 2024. This year, I pulled property taxes and insurance from my mortgage escrow and paying directly. Around $1,000 for tax and $2,000 for insurance. My mortgage is $286 per month.
I have a friend in an upscale community a half mile from me and his house now valued at $1.75 million. I shocked him when I told the amount of my HOA this year.
