Exactly. They were the ones who raised a stink about cultural
appropriation, so they should be objecting to The Indian Act designating
the name, and for the government that pays them those huge salaries for
leading their communities.

Because I have no desire to see them. My oldest brother and I exchange
emails, ditto my nephew. My nephew phones from time to time as well but
he's in his 30's and is busy doing his own thing. My middle brother is
a greedy, selfish ass; I cut off all ties with him after Mom died.

I really should have done it sooner. I actually had to *reschedule* our
father's funeral because he said he had "meetings and couldn't take off
work that week"! Excuse me? His boss knew our dad had just died. Oh,
and his boss is one of his best friends. Mom had just lost her husband
of 57 years. Arrangements were all set and he goes and throws a monkey
wrench into the works. (I think he was ****ed because he wasn't the one
in charge.) FYI, arranging a miltary funeral with a full honor guard at
a National Cemetery is a bit different. Beaufort National Cemetery only
holds funerals on specific days of the week.

Have you ever seen footage from inside a chicken factory? Or do you
quickly zap away? Or does your meat industry make sure such footage is
never shown?

LOL I seem to recall a bit of a bru-ha about Joe Namath and the
pantyhose advertisements. It led to some questions and changes in truth
in advertising laws. Celebrities had to actually be users of a product
before they could be paid to endorse it. Namath endorsing a brand of
pantyhose certainly wasn't the same as endorsing a brand of sports shoes.

I can only speak for my own experience with pantyhose. They are *not*
going to keep you warm. Not even when worn under slacks. If the idea
is to keep warm, long underwear is the way to go. Of course back in
those days (when the Joe Namath ads came out) most women in the
workplace were still wearing skirts, blouses and dresses to work. Women
would have looked pretty silly showing up in long underwear. Or would
have had to change clothes in the bathroom and put on pantyhose.

FYI Gary: Tights are not "about the same as panty hose". The shape is
the same, the form is the same. The actual finished product is NOT the
same. Tights are heavy. Get back to me when you've actually put on a
pair of pantyhose (made of silk or nylon) and go running in the cold in
your shorts. Tell me how that works out for ya.

There would be lawsuits out the wazoo! What if you come in by ambulance
unconscious? If you are bleeding and losing blood pressure they're
going to type and crossmatch. Meanwhile, nearly everyone can receive
type O- blood in an emergency.

Per the Red Cross (link below):

https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate...ood-types.html

In short:

"Universal donors are those with an O negative blood type. Why? O
negative blood can be used in transfusions for any blood type."

When my angiogram crapped out and I had to have emergency surgery I
remember the doctor telling me he had to get my consent before he could
operate, but that I had to consent because I would not make it without
the surgery. Later on I told my wife that I was shocked at what they
had done for me, that I had no idea what they were actually going to do
to me. She said that two doctors had come to talk to me and explained
exactly what they were going to do. I did not remember that at all.

Imagine what could have happened if they had trusted me to tell them my
blood type.

I donated blood for a friend´s friend in the seventies. I think I got
called once every six weeks thereafter and felt obligated to donate. I did
that for a year or so, and then I got an embedded tick.
Without knowing the ramifications, I mentioned to the vampires that I got a
tick the next time they called, and I was asked if anything would preclude me
from giving blood. I never heard from them again.

Oops for the previous nonce post. I grew up two houses down from a girl whose
real name was ***.

A fag is a British cigarette. A faggot is a bunch of sticks.

Which is why your wife should have your medical directive, legally
done, but well worth it.

I watch a lot of old movies (circa 1930's and '40's) where they are
often describing a party as "everyone is having a *** time!"

"We'll have a *** old time."

*** was not very long ago a common name for men too. As a child my
Pediatrician's name was ***, I don't recall his last name but it was
some lengthy Italian name. Everyone called him Dr. ***.
