1. I think the thing lots of guys don’t understand is there is a difference between being nice and being kind. Anybody can be “nice” but if you’re only being nice to someone to gain something in return, I think most people can pick up on that and it’s a huge turn-off. However if you’re genuinely a kind person and treat people well regardless of what they can offer you, that is very very attractive.
I just found out my 15 years old daughter is not my biological child.
My daughter was preparing for a family tree project for an online class and wanted an ancestry test.
My father is half Native American but he died several years ago and I don’t know precisely what Native American blood is in the family.
My daughter came to me because it was my father and we didn’t mention it to her mother at the time. Well it turned out my daughter doesn’t have any Native American blood.
The school was established in 1879 in order to forcibly assimilate Indigenous children into western society by stripping them of their native language, culture, traditions, and clothing. Physical, emotional and sexual abuse were rampant as was forced labor in these schools.
“How many times do we pay for one mistake? The answer is thousands of times. The human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for the same mistake. The rest of the animals pay once for every mistake they make. But not us. We have a powerful memory. We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, we find ourselves guilty, and we punish ourselves. If justice exists, then that was enough; we don’t need to do it again. But every time we remember, we judge ourselves again, we are guilty again, and we punish ourselves again, and again, and again. If we have a wife or husband he or she also reminds us of the mistake, so we can judge ourselves again, punish ourselves again, and find ourselves guilty again. Is this fair?”

1. My dog was diagnosed with nasal cancer around this time last year. It took his life two months later.
We did daily trips to Wendy’s where he got his favorite (chicken nuggets) and as time passed and he got worse he started getting a kid’s meal. We started collecting the stupid toys. He played with them when they were appropriate, but mostly we collected them.

Named after the Biblical figure that lived for 969 years, the Methuselah Tree grows in the Methuselah Grove, which is in Inyo National Forest’s “Forest of Ancients,” where it is surrounded by other ancient trees. The exact location of the tree, though, is kept secret to protect it against vandalism.
It is estimated that the tree germinated in 2832 BCE, making Methuselah one of the oldest known living trees and non-clonal organism in the entire world. A germination date of 2832 BCE makes Methuselah older even than the Egyptian Pyramids.
