Dear Southern Cousins, we've been friends for a long time now and sure we have had our ups and downs but we stuck it out together and we aren't going to let an orange baboon who somehow managed to sneak into the White House break up our friendship with you, no matter how much shit he throws at us....

@StephC California, Oregon and Washington would be no brainers for the West Coast. (maybe not San Diego) Maine and Vermont, of course and Michigan (although maybe just the Upper Peninsula), New York State but not the city, the Dakotas and Wisconsin, Montana as well because would anybody even notice? Probably Florida since Canadians own so much of the real estate there already. New Orleans because it's really just southern Quebecois but most of the rest of Louisiana would be a no go, ditto for Texas because they really ought to be their own country as they act like it anyways. Ohio and Illinois would also be good candidates since they are broke and we could buy them up at par on the dollar. As for the rest, maybe Mexico will take them in. Quien Sabe?

The blades are interchangeable on mine, one slightly shorter than the other for getting into tight spots between plantings. It is a very sharp blade that slices easily through the roots of the weeds so you have to concentrate or you will lop off some of your plants as well. It's more like waltzing with a hoe through the rows of plantings and takes very little effort compared to conventional hoes which are more of a hacking and chopping sort of tool.

I'll give you one thing, racism cuts in all directions as anyone who has traveled will tell you from experience and contrary to what a lot of 'whites' will swear is not the case.

@GipsyOfNewSpain I guess it's because I grew up in the most multi-cultural city on the planet that it just didn't register with me. We all are trained as children to identify the difference first and the commonality second - Sesame Streets 'One of the these things is not like the others' , comes to mind as an example of that. I just didn't grow up that way, sometimes religion would enter the fray in school yard fights, racism just wasn't as big of a thing, if you were an asshole you were definitely going to get your face punched in.
I saw far more racism in Latin America during my years living in various countries there but the level of ignorance about race (a human construct by the way) I saw in the US was only surpassed by the Chinese. People are strange, I just wish they weren't so hateful in their strangeness.

Surfpirate replies on Jun 6, 2018:
@Femyem You're right, I should have qualified that statement. In the first world, the developed world, religion is failing because it doesn't have it's age old supports of poverty, over population, hunger and despair to prop it up. We need to keep moving the world forward in order for the progress to continue. It's refreshing to see someone actually care about what happens to people in the developing and third world countries, generally 1st worlders could care less about the rest of the world. I've traveled in and lived in many developing countries and have seen this first hand so I speak from experience.

Like all religions there is a huge amount of control and hypocrisy in the JW's. If this guys client base wasn't wiped out when he was kicked out of that cult then it will be now, they will go underground to destroy him in any way possible. Isn't religion fun? ;)

By making it anathema to deal with this person in a business relationship because to the rule of a social club would seem to be discriminatory and there would be damages as a realtor. JW's are extremely cliquish, I have several family members who are members, so this guys client base would have been decimated. JW are prohibited from having any contact with disfellowshipped members in the same way that Catholics cannot be in contact with excommunicated members; it's a very powerful stick that religions have used for a long time.

Anyone ever stay in a marriage because of kids? Is it worth giving up your own happiness?

I lost my kids in a divorce from a highly dysfunctional marriage, she took the kids to a different country, changed their names and I didn't see them again for 25 years, the cheque still goes out every month, the kids seem happy enough and nobody had to die.

Surfpirate replies on Jun 4, 2018:
@Fredcruz I think of my 3 kids all the time, not in a morbid way but because they are my children and I love them. Parents make sacrifices for their children all the time, this is a bit extreme but we all do what we have to do.

Some days it is like a knife in my guts and other days it is more tolerable but no it doesn't ever get better but then it isn't about me, it's about them. Life's a bitch, then you marry one, then she tries to kill you and steals your kids - suck it up buttercup.
2 more weeks till Father's Day, ask me how I feel then. ;)

I lost my kids in a divorce from a highly dysfunctional marriage, she took the kids to a different country, changed their names and I didn't see them again for 25 years, the cheque still goes out every month, the kids seem happy enough and nobody had to die. It probably would have been me and yes I...

@moNOtheist It's like losing a limb (in this case 3 of them) you know they are gone but you still feel the shadow pain just the same. Some days it is like a knife in my guts and other days it is more tolerable but no it doesn't ever get better but then it isn't about me, it's about them.

My wife and I are the opposite of this pic.

Men think with their little brain! We would fall over if we used all that blood to actually think with the larger brain. Women can multi-task! Men are just trying to have sex with it! Men! Nature's horrble mistake!

I have to admit that when you look at how gorgeous women look and then compare them to how we look as men, it's amazing that procreation occurs at all.
