Well that would be difficult to obtain, as there were no requirements for birth certificates then. Births were recorded in family bibles and very rarely on Census Polls. Can you imagine the fun though if someone thought that they had one?
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
I did not say that I was blackmailed with emotion, although I suppose that could have been inferred, I meant that he was trying to use emotional blackmail on others.
Personally, I won't give ground to anyone's temper tantrums and if one wants to be treated fairly and tolerantly by me and shows me the same fairness and tolerance then I will do the same.
I cannot fathom to guess why this individual did as he did but the end result was a definite temper tantrum and lashing out.
No one can say he is a bad person or born bad but by the same token, we do not need to be held hostage by his negative outbursts and pander to his emotional blackmail.
Tolerance can only go so far. It is one thing to give someone a "break" based on their circumstances, (having a bad day, hurt emotions, etc) but wrong to tolerant a temper tantrum from a grown adult. IMO
I was referring to the meltdown here; it definitely was not a sign or action of being selfish. It was a temper tantrum in the purest sense and an action of a child who is not getting his/her own way. There are no "Kings of the Playground" on CS, we each contribute or don't, according to our likes/dislikes but most don't act out the way that member did. IMO
If they are interested in another, then politely tell them that we are over. No sense trying to beat each other up with guilt or accusations. Just let them go.
I think I like "lite murder mysteries" like those written by the late Lawrence Sanders. Kind of fun to read. But I do understand how hard it is to tear oneself away sometimes from here....
I tend to re-read books that I've enjoyed. Last summer re-read most of the books that I enjoyed as a child or young adult. This summer; I'm trying to read at least a chapter a night or a book a month but hard to do with my granddaughter around.
I've read Ken Follet and heard of Hoffman and Baldacci, is Kellerman a good author?
