aphorism

Maybe the natives here made them promise not to tell.

And the point? Or is this to open up an argument,or excuse me, discussion?

well...I guess if they didn't tell anyone, then it couldn't be hushed up.

Michelle..You up late too? :)

I don't see how it was hushed up...We did learn that the pilgrims were taught by the native americans...So that means they were here first, so YES the land was discovered before Columbus....

I'm really not good at History...**head ache**

Hey Jess!! How did it go today?

Yeah, I'm up..I really should be wrapping, but I hate it.

Just go get bags from Walmart...Unless the fat cow from the Hilliard, Oh store came up there and took ALLLLL of the bags...

Family party went good....Total chaos, but good...My cousin Cindi's house is always packed to maximum capacity...And this year my cousin Judith and her guy brought his kids...So that brought the count to about 40 people in a house that really isn't built to accomodate that many people..I'm sure there are fire codes or something...lol

Hey..I didn't realize it was my mother-in-law that took all those bags! Omigosh, that was cruel! I'm drinking some Bailey's and coffee right now, I think this is my third. I rarely drink anything, and given my size...well, it doesn't take much. I'm gettin' mean!

BTW..Loved the picture of the slow lady with the ugly purse!

That lady wouldn't MOVE...I was trying to get to the Pharmacy section to pick up some anti-biotics for Chris and that lady walked sooooo slow..And every time I tried to get around her, she would step back in front of me. I wanted to trip her. I'm so MEAN this past couple of days.

LOL@Drunk Fins....We're going to be in so much trouble the 11th-13th...lol Hopefully Polly can keep us in line, but I have a feeling she will not..

OMG...Jess...

I was at my sister's house tonight. My brother lives in Detroit, and he and his wife and kids were up today so we did our name-drawing gift exchange with them. Well, my brother and sister-in-law have money, and they're uppity, and they have a nanny.

The nanny is from Germany, and she's very very pretty. The men drool. well, she was sitting on the floor playing with the kids, and she was leaning over...All of her thong and most of her butt was showing. I was sitting directly behind her, and I whipped out my phone to take a pic to send to you, but the darned thing was dead!!! OOOOHHH! It was pretty funny.

That would have been hilarious!

If only these people we're always taking pictures of KNEW we did it..lol We'd probably get beat up..:-P

I know..We're getting crazy. I did get a dirty look when I took the pic in the wine aisle at Meijer today, but that might be because I was standing there typing in a message.

back to the columbus/native american thing, if we want to get technical about who came to North America first we have to go WAAAAYYYY back to the Bering land bridge, also known as Beringia which joined present-day Alaska and eastern Siberia. Recent studies have indicated that of the people migrating across this land bridge during that time period, 70% left their genetic print in modern descendants.

Now pass the Baily's and Creme..
