  1. And yeah. We always talked about digging our way to China and wondering if we really could.
  2. Beautiful farm girlie! Just gorgeous. And I grew up mowing on a tractor with a bush hog on the back. I started mowing at about 14. And I loved it! But I grew up on a farm and could run with the best of the boys. I was a tom girl.
  3. I agree. I heard them talking yesterday on TV about this. They were discussing schools that take up at 7:00 and 7:30 (which I'm thinking may be up north or somewhere besides here). And I think that's too early, kids are out in the dark catching a bus at 6:00. I hate that the little elementary school kids are out so early to catch the bus, in my neighborhood the bus runs at 6:30 for the little ones. I have read that considering the rate that teenagers grow, they need as much sleep as when they were babies.
  4. Dang, I have never heard of Darknet. I just read about it and TOR. I won't be making the trip there. I'm just not savy enough.
  5. Culture would have been a better word. It is about cultural differences.
  6. I'm really glad you had a good expierence. We didn't. I know they've been running a lot of ads lately so maybe it's gotten better. This was 10 years ago and it was a scary and frustrating expierence. And in defense of Wellstar, that's the system most of my doctors are in and I've had 3 major surgeries in a Wellstar facility and have been very pleased.
  7. I think ISIS/ISIL, who has more than $2 BILLION, is funding Hamas. I can't find anything to prove it, but I believe it.
  8. This was also in the article I linked: Some people have claimed that the term is related to the cat-o-nine tails famously used in naval discipline. However, this link seems tenuous at best, since there is no clear connection between letting the cat out of the bag and nautical punishments. Removing a whip from a bag is clearly not a euphemism for revealing a secret or spoiling a scam.
  9. You know Shallow Hal, I always start out calm and I am very good at explaining a situation. And after several attempts with an inept staff who may or may not give a shiit, then and only then do I go into the bitch mode. And that is usually when something is accomplished. It's a shame that it has to come to that, but more times than not, that is what is required, because folks today just don't care.
  10. Very sad. It was the goal of the government to break up the families so that no tradition or language would be passed down. I know, I was on my Iphone, I don't know what happened, LOL I fixed it.
  11. When we did The Trail of Tears motorcycle ride there was always a Pow Wow at Waterloo at the end if the ride in Alabama. The ride would leave there and go to Oklahoma for an even bigger gathering and Pow Wow. I've always wanted to take my grandson to the Pow Wow in Cherokee, NC but you have to be a tribe member or get a special invitation. Enjoy!
  12. There's no way I would move her, they have what they need there to treat her and make her comfortable. Again, demand to see the Hospital Administrator and raise hell. The squeaky wheel gets the oil
  13. Two words: Hospital Administrator Tell them what has happened and raise hell
  14. I had to look it up.......... In order to understand the origins of "let the cat out of the bag," it helps to understand how medieval markets worked. During the Middle Ages, markets or fairs were held to sell livestock, produce, and other goods from around a region. Most of the livestock was sold alive, usually in sacks so that the purchaser could bring it home relatively neatly. As a general rule, someone would inspect the pigs, chickens, and so forth for sale and pick one out, and then the farmer would bag the animal so that it could be carried. Unscrupulous merchants might replac
  15. This video was very interesting to me. It will take 9 minutes of your time to see a vanishing Native American Language. Who Speaks Wukchumni? by Op-Docs 9:21 mins This short documentary profiles the last fluent speaker of Wukchumni, a Native American language, and her creation of a comprehensive dictionary. https://screen.yahoo.com/new-york-times/speaks-wukchumni-133610987.html
  16. And just as a side note, you don't mess with my kids/grandkids. 10 years ago my daughter was in a terrible car wreck and was sent to Grady's trauma unit. Grady = nightmare. Once she was out of the ER (after waiting for hours and hours) into a room with nothing but inept foreign nurses that spoke broken English and 3 times jumping up and down and getting the Hospital Administrator involved, I finally got her into a room with the proper care. She was in the hospital 10 days. OMG, is all I can say.
  17. Ask to see the Hospital Administrator, NOW! That's the only way you're going to get any help. Good luck! Hope you're daughter gets better soon.
  18. At least you found out you have strep and got some medicine and now you'll get well. And I wouldn't worry about the wax.
  19. I saw this on Fox5 this morning. Writebol was released Tuesday and Dr. Brantley today. He thanked God for saving his life and the folks at Emory. I'm glad the serum they used to treat them worked. At least it's a start!
  20. I found this an interesting read about the discovery of the virus Ebola in 1976. Scientists Who Discovered Ebola Almost Caused A Disaster: 'It Makes Me Wince Just To Think Of It' Kevin Loria   Aug. 21, 2014, 12:00 PM: http://www.businessinsider.com/peter-piot-tells-the-ebola-discovery-story-2014-8 When Ebola first arrived in Europe on September 29, 1976, the vials of the virus were carried from Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in a shiny blue thermos on a passenger flight. Three lab workers in Antwerp, Belgium, received the thermos and pre
  21. The camera was moving when the shooting started, but wasn't he still standing there? 7 rounds?
  22. Eddie, I watched the video. I'm appalled. The officer was waiting on him to get home, pulled in behind him, he got out of his patrol car and called him by name "Bernie" it sounded like. Bernie was already getting out of the truck. "Bernie, don't you move, don't you move" " Hands up" So he unloads his gun on him. How many shots? from what... 20 feet away? He falls to the ground. The man is already dead. They remove the crying woman, several officers are walking around and the officer says he's looking for the knife he had in his hand. He can't find the knife. The man
