This is a factual picture taken during our Civil war. This is Black history month, so I am sharing.

PalacinkyPDX comments on Feb 16, 2019:

Then there is the contemporary myth that many African Americans served in the Army of the Confederacy... and it's completely untrue: http://cwmemory.com/searching-for-black-confederate-soldiers-the-civil-wars-most-persistent-myth/

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 17, 2019:

Your source says African Americans DID serve in the Confederate Army. History buffs can even cite one who rose to the rank of captain. However, it's largely agreed as members of the army, they weren't put on the front line as infantrymen WITH GUNS. They served as support personnel. (Sometimes as a chair). Somebody has to drive the supply wagon and fill other roles not directly related to combat. Slavery is ONE of the causes of the Civil War. The "states rights" cause was another one of the causes. Lincoln is often cited as saying that he wasn't against slavery. He wanted to re-unite the union. He did "free" slaves in the confederacy to strike at the economic support of the southern US. Native Americans in the union were free to own slaves after the proclamation. At the time, it was "outlawed" the confederacy was a WHOLE ANOTHER COUNTRY. It would be like the US outlawing legal prostitution in Amsterdam. >. . . reminded me of another woman . . . swearing that trump isnt racist. He's her deity instead. Stupidity and racism is an equal opportunity employer. Not that we need to point at examples.

@Deiter Comes from one too many diplomas from community education classes, subscribing to human relation journals and hanging out with the Senior Corp of Retired Executives (SCORE) asking dumb questions. Lot of the "you work cheap?" are training jobs. You won't know how to do the job until you've wrecked their machinery a few times. After you've learned how to do the job, move on to someone who'll pay for your experience. For the NEW business where they tell you they'll start you out low and up your salary when they start making REAL money, ask to see it in writing before taking the job. Watch 'em shutter. Had one guy told me I had to start out working for free until he got a few contracts under his belt and then he'd make obscene amounts of money and cut me in. Wouldn't show me a contract that said that. In the end, he died penniless.

One of my favorite campsites is Elkmont in the Smoky Mountain National Park.

MissKathleen comments on Feb 16, 2019:

And where is this?

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 16, 2019:

With about ten million visitors a year the Smoky Mountain National Park is the most popular national park in the United States, even more popular than Yellowstone. The park spans two states, Tennessee and North Carolina. Nearest major city is Knoxville, Tn, population 200,000. Elkmont is in Tennessee on the west side of the park. Those who want to visit Elkmont but don't want to camp there, should make motel reservations at either Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, two tourist trap cities that border the park. I'm sure that was more than you wanted to know. If I'm wrong, I'll sell you my book.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 15, 2019:

Partly true. It used to be we let kids out in the street to **play.** It was common for them to shove their butts under a bicycle and wander off for the rest of the day traveling 20 miles away. Today, parents are scared to let the kid leave their block. Play with other children has become far more restrictive than it was in Tom Sawyer's time. Tom would wander off all day. Sun started going down, he knew he had to get home. Showing up for dinner was a big deal. If they didn't show up, they didn't eat dinner. Most public schools have completely removed recess period. Remember recess? The social skills develop during childhood have dwindled away.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 14, 2019:

@FrayedBear If you put them in the shower and they relieve themselves, it's the easiest room in the house to clean up afterwards when it comes to urine and fecal mater. Of course you'll have to destroy the evidence once the little whiners start jabbering about the experience. Child services, police, etc., tend to take this type of behavior **seriously.** Ergo the shower for the scene of the crime: easy to clean. My former biz partner was/is a mass murder. I hope the parole board is turning him down now. He told me the most difficult thing about his hobby was hiding the bodies. He said he dreaded the day when police found out how to drag the Gulf of Mexico. When indulging in nefarious activities it's advisable to think ahead. One can **think** about it. Doing it is another step. I've never taken that next step with Bart Simpson and his ilk after considering it. I can think about it before subcontracting the little ankle biters to someone more evil than myself. Of course, I know a baby sitter!

If you want to go and want a REASONABLE chance to see them, stay at Cave Cove campground a few miles away because Elkmont always sells out. Bring mosquito repellent.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 11, 2019:

@FrayedBear "Do you know a Ruby Begonia?" is a re-occurring phrase in the radio show Amos and Andy. It used to be such a popular show in the 1940's (I bought a taped collection of their shows), they would stop movies to let patrons hear their radio show. Amos and Andy continued as a TV show into the 1950's until people said it was too racist to be on the air, even though many black comics objected. The show centered around a community of successful black urban professionals.

Yes but they don't talk to me. They usually run away and call the police when they see me looking in their window.

Take a course in body language. When a person reaches up to remove their shades, it means they're getting more interested in you. However, with one arm raised in that position she's taking a selfie. One needs to ask why nobody is taking the photo for her.

The park service would remove it. Should they encounter a second government shut down, they will take awhile to get around to it. Oh, say around 3037.

Last I checked, AMERICANS move on average every three years. Most of the people I've corresponded with outside of the US have been in their homelands with the ancestors for an eon, even if wars have flattened their town. Don't judge the rest of the world by American standards.

@SpawnofSagan It is the custom of the more annoying rednecks to ask that question to those who aren't from the same region as themselves. I hear that phrase whenever I open my mouth here in Appalachia and the locals figure out my southern drawl isn't NASAL. I am from Florida, land of the depressingly flat geography. My southern drawl is not that of a local, it's more like that of Gomer Plyle USMC. Think it happens to those of the chocolate persuasion? Ah's heard tales.

I've been so unfortunate. I've had more than my share of wild, lusty affairs with models. I've never had one that **wanted** to walk around in high heels and guarder belts around the house.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 10, 2019:

@Anniemae So, you're the one keeping Victoria's Secret in business. The critical thing about lingerie is it MUST be comfortable. Most women that wear lingerie wear it instead of a house coat or pajamas. I've yet to meet a woman who brags about what a delight it is to wear spiked heels all day. I'm still hunting for a maid service where thin young woman shows up in a French maid outfit and speaks English with a French accent. I suppose I'll have to settle with heavy set Hispanic women wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt, dragging their bucket behind them.

@Cutiebeauty And your statement that you've never seen a black women swimming indicates to me that your experiences are very limited indeed.. I figure you've never been to a beach full of black people. I have too much experience going to the beach and making observations .

I'm so jaded, I found myself asking "Where can I find that large a porthole?"

MojoDave comments on Feb 10, 2019:

No need to tie her up!

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 10, 2019:

The brig was overflowing during my cruise. They had to put her somewhere. Historical side note: the cruise industry took off during prohibition. People board cruise ships for wild parties because once they'd entered into international waters they could drink the good stuff legally. They avoided stopping in foreign ports to keep the passengers from getting confused. Until I took a cruise to the Caribbean, I never knew I could have a drink served to me while I was in hot tub.

Meanwhile in airport tower, they're asking serious questions.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 10, 2019:

@Cutiebeauty Your response is a typical trite ad hominem response. When you've lost the argument and there is no hope, use a response that attacks the speaker instead of addressing the issue. Be terse and trite unless someone confuses you with a person with brain cells. I grew up in a town famous for its beaches, Pensacola. Miles of sugar white shores for hundreds of miles and one of the high holy designations for spring break. It's why I can speak of who gets into water with authority. I visited Pensacola's beaches far too often and stayed at the beach bars too long. Should you emerge from shell and venture forth, head for Flounders Chowder House on Pensacola's Quiet Water Beach. It gets five stars from Trip Advisor, a web site for those who DO GET OUT. After you've drunk one of Flounder's diesel fuels (a double Long Island iced tea) while watching the beach volley ball match, throw yourself into water of the bay to unscramble your brains long enough to remember that the second diesel fuel is half price. Snort. Giggle. I'm a world traveler and you tell me to get out. I've been to Maldives off the south coast of Africa to the deranged delights of Amsterdam. What, you want me to visit your planet next? :-)

Even in these colder months, it's important!

They don't store it. What they do is drink up to 50 gallons when they can and have an efficient bladder. The hump(s) are for fat storage when times are lean.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 10, 2019:

@Justjoni Pine trees need fire to start a mass reproduction. I'm a native of North West Florida. Florida leads the nation in lighting storms. The lighting tends to burn down forests. While I lived there I noticed a pattern, the oak trees thrived in areas where there was a fire department. Outside of town, it was almost all pine trees. I will grant you that pine trees are NOT the first vegetation that comes back.SOMEBODY will rebuild with a freshly planted lawn.

It's painfully apparent you haven't played poker. A full house two of a kind, plus three of a kind. For example a two of hearts, a two of spades (two of a kind) and ace of spades, ace of diamonds and ace of queens (three of a kind). The joke is all the cards are hearts waiting to see doctor who specializes in treating heart problems.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 9, 2019:

@Cutiebeauty The drawing shows a woman swimming, an unlikely event for a woman with an elaborate hairdo. The point is it's not logical, especially if one has known women who spend big bucks at the beauty salon. I've never seen a black woman swimming because of the same reason: water messes up their hairdo.

THere's an old fashioned "Mermaid" show...at a bar in FT. Lauderdale. My son took me to it...funny stuff - and they even offered a later "Burlesque" show...whatever that means (topless?). But there were mostly families with kids there chowing down on overpriced drinks and snacks... ...

WonderWartHog99 replies on Feb 8, 2019:

That was interesting. The only mermaid show I'd heard of is the one at Weeki Wache Springs, Florida. It's been going on since 1940. A burlesque means an exaggerated parody variety show with at least one stripper. Along with dancing women they throw in skits and stand up comics.

@MST3K The show strained the artistic license. Those two were always sleeping in the woods WITHOUT CAMPING GEAR. No tent. Sleep on the ground. Bugs didn't bite, briars didn't scratch and ALWAYS good weather. Between camp outs, their hair was perfect as if the good make up fairies followed them, fixing them up off screen. Maybe they smelled so bad, even the bears left them alone. As far as hints of lesbian relationships, if I want to see hot lesbians have sex, let's all go to PornHub.com.

Fasching is currently underway in Helen, GA, about an hour's drive from me. While Petunia loves Helen, she doesn't want me following their parade to their Biergarten. Wives hunt down fun and KILL it. For the ignorant masses: Helen is an idealized half timber village with the theme of Germany in the Alps and general tourist trap in the north Georgia mountains. It's one of the top tourists attractions in Georgia. We're within an hour's drive to Helen. We visit every sixth blue moon.
