Cultures & Groups - 23 December 2007

I didn't think I had until I told MacTealc that all I wanted in my Christmas stocking was him.

He was so furious!

He told me in no uncertain terms that there was no way he was going to be in stockings over Christmas - not wearing his kilt anyway!

Well - a girl can dream dont you think?!

this question is really a repeat of someone else's awhile back...but as I sit in my sunroom and watch the activity outside it made me think of it, once again. Pine trees waving in the breeze' squirrels running and looking for food; folk walking their dogs; nests in trees now abandoned for the winter.

I read over in the Astronomy QA that the pointee-heads figure half the human beings who've ever lived are alive today.

In another 20 years the numbers will be nearer 75 percent [assuming nothing causes a major rush to the exit signs].

So if we can hold out long enough doesn't this mean we can actually see a time when EVERYONE who ever lived is still alive?

Mine would be the one where the little kid goes to a shoe store to buy his dying mother shoes so she can look good when she meets Jesus that same night.

What sort of parent would let their small child run off to a mall when his wife was laying on her death bed? What sort of little kid knows his mothers shoe size, and not only that but shouldn't that kid be with family at a time like that? I mean talk about schmultzy.

We've been classified as lazy, fat, stupid, stubborn, racist, hicks, everything else in the planet. Why do people hate the US so much? I'm raised in a European family who loves and embraces the American culture. I am not overweight, stupid, racist, and my stubborness is that of an average teenager. I've lived in Europe and America, and I love both societies. Why does the rest of the world choose to hate us so much and decide to hate the American people as well as the country?

Sometimes, I can understand. We're a fast-paced, commercial society that's one of the most powerful in the world. Our foreign policy is frankly ridiculous, and the current government has made some MAJOR mistakes. But is that justification for hating all of the American PEOPLE?

Comments from anybody? I'd like to hear from people from around the world. And please keep it clean and intellectual. I don't want any comments that just spread hate. Back up your arguments with reasoning.

A man returned home from the night shift and went straight up to the bedroom. He found his wife with the sheet pulled over her head, fast asleep. Not to be denied, the horny husband crawled under the sheet and proceeded to make love to her. Afterward, as he hurried downstairs for something to eat, he was startled to find breakfast on the table and his wife pouring coffee.

"How'd you get down her so fast?" he asked. "We were just making love!"

"Oh my God," his wife gasped, "That's my mother up there! She came over early and had complained of having a headache. I told her to lie down for awhile."

Rushing upstairs, the wife ran to the bedroom. "Mother, I can't believe this happened. Why didn't you say something?"

The mother-in-law huffed, "I haven't spoken to that jerk for fifteen years, and I wasn't about to start now!"

I don't really know where. He died approximately 1978. I was wondering to track his records because I have never met him. I wanted some information about him. My parents were married but then divorced when we were babies and he never visited us for whatever reason. There were a lot of family politics, I don't know the whole story. I have his name and I think his right birthdate and his mother's first name. Could someone tell me where I could start to look into his records.

I thought there might be some retired airforce folk that would know the process or anyone with any ideas.

Thank you

My last name is "Hu". It's of chinese origin, you know the current president of the PRC has the same last name.

But the problem is, the pronunciation is ambiguous in english. People say "Who" (then they proceed to make the 'knock knock' jokes) or "Hue". The correct pronunciation is similar to the former but I would just like the change it all together.

I thought about:

Hugh, or
Hughe.

But I think that misrepresents my identity a bit because I am not caucasian at all.

I also considered ambiguous last names like:

Floy or Fox

So anybody got some good suggestions? I would really like a last name that doesn't mean anything or denote any race.. like "Steve Jobs". Johnson and Smith names are too "white for me".

Than you were when you were 30?

Some of the answers to my previous question caused me to wonder whether it's only me.

When I'm among people watching them interact I see the games they're playing with one another they don't even recognize. I see and know their lies, the emptiness of their values, often the heartaches they're setting themselves up for, even though they're strangers at the next table or talking to one another in a grocery line.

When I was 40 I easily saw how stupid I'd been at 30 and 20. At 20 I could look back and recognize my self-deception when I thought I was smart at 15.

It's easy to understand how any 30 year old thinks anyone younger, or older is mentally challenged.

But am I the only one who expects the older me one day to be the best qualified to judge my failings, rather than someone who is 30 today?
