    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm guessing it's autocorrect on his phone or something.

    I explained this to you very clearly....if that's weird....well...like I said Nate....it's all connected...you asked me about british black people and appropriate language....I brought up native americans first around baseball icons...... and if anything...stayed right on topic. Try to keep up...guys were talking about Harvey Weinstein like it's the new liberal trend to cancel anybody who's not in line with their standards....pointing out that cancelling cultures has been the norm throughout history and isn't something new shouldn't be that hard to process ...then you posted you probably had a superior education about Native american history than me or people my age...so you're essentially selectively engaging my conversation but not wanting to include my views....ok..now where does this "cancer" start replacing "cancel".....I'm asking for clarification here....

    Do you really not understand a typo? Seriously?

    When I first rode a Honda it was a Honda 50. The next Honda I rode was the more powerful Honda 55.

    Wow, your wife is gorgeous and you can tell her for me. I need a com cable to connect my phone to my computer and then I could show you a few pictures of our last vacation which was on the big island in Hawaii. I loved every second of it. We are quite a bit older than you so don't judge my wife by yours but she's still the most beautiful woman in the world to me. I was feeling gnarly, so I bought a puka shell neckless, some cargo shorts, some thongs which you kids now call flip flops, a Hawaiian shirt that I got in Hilo Hattie's in Hilo, a straw hat and my glasses that darken in the sunshine. Went to the Sheraton to watch the ocean waves roll in after a big storm the day before, tried ordering either a hollowed out pineapple with an umbrella and black light swizzle sticks containing a Singapore sling or a hollowed out coconut with any kind of tropical drink but apparently you can't get either on the big island. Sat in a lanai with part of it closed off nearest the ocean and watched huge waves crashing against large boulders. Got showered a few times even though management closed off part of the lanai. Sat in a long bar and sipped on an iced coffee while I watched these swimmers way out in the ocean. A guy sat down next to me and we got to talking and apparently it was the Iron Man team in training and this guy was their coach. Then he told me the saddest story. He was living in NY city with a husband and they decided to move to Lanai or maybe it was Kauai. His partner got ill with cancer and died. Broke my heart to hear his story.

    My wife is 61 in the last picture I posted here.....I think it's lifestyle, diet and excercise that change that around.

    Android. Google
    My wife has a Samsung, after all, she's Korean. By the way the son of the President of Samsung was a close friend of my great nephew, absolutely the most well conditioned young man I can recall seeing. I've got his photo flexing his huge biceps. He's on a full ride basketball scholarship at Cal. Poly in San Luis Obispo. His sister got 4.6 gpa at a tough medical school in Atlanta, Emory. She's getting two degrees in three years. Next school year she plans to enter med. school where she will specialize in research. Our young man is only a B+ student. The both went the entire 13 years at arguably one of the toughest private schools in the country and probably the toughest one in oregon. Their school once won the science competition country wide, Oregon Episcopal School, OES. ZW got a B+ average and his sister, who began a tutoring program between OES and a public school with many disadvantaged students. She got a GPA of nearly a 4.0 I'm pretty sure it was at least a 3.95. I'm so proud of both of them.

    That's too easy...Sly charges $50 ...in my case it would take about a buck a person to wipe me off the board...I don't know how I've made it this far!

    Many times more stories in national media on Dr. Seuss than on more than 250 pending bills to make it harder to vote. Hundreds of times more stories on Potato Head than on two states outlawing all abortions and a pending bill to institute capital punishment for women who get abortions.

    Who is being cancelled?

    Because Marzy and Bodyman were both banned. This was not of their own volition. Thanks all the same for the likes, though!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    People being ejected from private property for breaking the rules isn't "cancelling." If Disneyland kicks someone out for defecting in public, that person wasn't cancelled.
