  1. It said he is into the boyfriend experience but I didn't see kissing listed. When I first saw the thread title I thought it was about the Smithsonian Museums in DC. ;-)))
  2. I had mine down with Ancestry dot com but it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion to see if they match up. I don't care about the genealogy part because it ends with me.
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5KeGccP9Jk I have never been able to get into "Don Quixote" though I've tried. I need a commentary.
  4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamplona
  5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balboa_Park_(San_Diego) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Zoo
  6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_of_the_Bulls On the radio they said the running of the bulls has begun. Ole'
  7. 28C = 82.4F 6C = 42.8F 16C = 60.8F Winter time in the Southern Hemisphere
  8. Thanks! The phrase I sometimes use is https://www.dict.cc/german-english/Mach+schnell.html
  9. Thanks! I stand corrected.
  10. But I see it as a word an Asian can use but not by anyone outside the group. Gays have words and races have words that only members of that particular group can use but not by those outside the group.
  11. I agree! Why do they do it? A shame to desecrate a beautiful body. It must be painful. And how will it look in 40 years! I know who he is; a Helix model. He wears glasses. I hate his chest tattoo. And where are the Belami models?
  12. I understand that Nellie Oleson was not prominent in the books.
  13. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nerjNd8aUMk I've only heard of #1 and #8. I don't care for any of them.
  14. I was 98% Europe and 2% Asia South. My guess is Romani (Gypsy) on my mother's side. I had my aunt's done (father's sister). She was 99% Europe and 1% West Asia. That 1% consisted of two trace groups - Caucasus and Middle East. My guess is that may go back to the Crusades.
  15. Money talks! They say the Belami models don't escort but several years ago Dolph Lambert was seen among Elton John's entourage.
  16. I think it was Aristotle who thought it would get hotter the further one traveled south (from a Northern Hemisphere perspective) and that there would be a point at which it would be too hot to live.
  17. I remember the controversy over this black female teacher using the book "Nappy Hair". https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/frompost/dec98/hair3.htm
  18. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindred_(novel) We need the classics. I've thought the best educational system would be the Great Books. I will not give up Dante even though some today do not like some of the choices he made when placing people in the Inferno.
  19. Good! I hope there is transportation help to get people there. I don't know which is worse the heat or the cold. Just as long as power stays on. I can't remember the year now but it was in early December. Terrific wind, rain storm. The power went off for 24 hours. - 6AM to 6AM .Cold! They set up a warming center at the Veteran's Hall. I went. I was the only person who was there (other than the staff).
  20. Horrible! The government has regulations about when the weather is cold but I don't think they do when it is hot.
  21. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chop_chop_(phrase) Do you think it is racist? I'm uncomfortable when I hear it.
  22. I'm glad you have a/c. Sometimes I hear about deaths in Chicago caused by the heat.
  23. I hope everyone has air conditioning especially central air.
  24. Good point! The norms of right and wrong, good and bad are evolving. We can't always use modern norms to judge the past. We know that slavery is morally wrong but I've never heard Caesar being condemned for owning slaves. Time and place are important.
  25. On the Australian soap opera "Neighbours" there is a gay couple David who is Japanese and is a doctor and Aaron who is white, not sure what he does now but he was once an exotic dancer. They are engaged and will be getting married. It's supposed to be the first same-sex marriage on Australian television. In the past the show has had an Aboriginal gay male character and an Indian (South Asian) gay male character. Both were involved with Aaron. Also on the New Zealand soap opera "Shortland Street" there is a gay male biracial character white and Maori. He once had a boyfriend who was Samoan; that character died.
