How close do you relate to your ethenicity?

And really I'm immersed in the southern culture. I moved south across the Mason-Dixon line when I was about 19 or 20 and people here have a lot of pride in their southern heritage. I mean I asked girls out that said their daddy wouldn't let them date a Yankee when I was young. So I started talking slower and learned to use words like y'all and fixin' and yonder and suddenly I was everyone's best friend.

I like to hunt and drive big jacked up pick up trucks and even have a few Confederate battle flags around the house. It's a lot like an ethnicity. The food is different from mainstream and the attitude is different too. My wife fries everything, even bologna and we eat dressing not stuffing and have biscuits smothered in gravy and drink moonshine. I relate to being a rebel a lot, even though I'm a born again rebel...

Yonder is a very Lancashire word, but mainly just the older generation.

I thought you were born and bred there, so where were you brought up?

Any time I think of a southern American you are the exact image I see!

How close do you relate to your ethenicity?

My sister made our family tree years ago, and as far back as records go the entire family are from the same part of Lancashire, England.

As soon as I was old enough I left and have been all over, but will never go back there.

I am back in England now, but not near where I'm from.

I definitely see myself as English and HATE getting called British.

I don't feel any ties or connections to any region of England, and if I can't eventually settle somewhere hot then I'd like to live back in Scotland.

I have come to the conclusion that people just do not take me seriously or respect me.

I wish I knew the answer to this.

Yes, you ultimately cannot save people from themselves. When people are unwilling to take responsibility for themselves, the only option left is an institution. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to institutionalize people these days--due to budgets and civil libertarians crying about "rights."

So we don't provide those people with the help that they need, and they perish. That, according to the civil libertarians, is more humane than putting them in psychiatric hospitals.

I disagree.

I just think if he died intentionally he would have spoke to me first.

I dont even know thats what happened, it might not be, this is why i need to know the report.

From the news article, I would deduce that he had drugs in his system. And that does not lead to rational thinking.

The recovery rate from drug addiction is not very high--something like 3 percent.

There are certain things we will never know on this side of death. But I commend you for trying.

But remember--at some point--to let go.

He didn't use drugs apart from occasional weed smoking.

He was an alcoholic but had remained sober for a good few years.

Things had been getting better for him and he had got an amicable relationship going with his ex wife, so he was getting access to his kids pretty much whenever he wanted.

While it is definitely a possibility he had fallen off the wagon, it seems like an odd time to do it.

All the details before it are confusing.

Given I'm not celebrating Christmas this year.

My parents are Muslim so we never celebrated Christmas but after I got married, my husband and I celebrate (since heโ€™s Christian.)

This year money is tight so weโ€™re doing Secret Santa with everyone.

Every year we watch the Star Wars movies. The originals. Itโ€™s fun. He usually falls asleep in the middle ๐Ÿ˜Š

I thought Muslims had a version of xmas?
Considering the basis of both religions are similar, just a different god...

I didn't realize how important rest days were...

You do need rest days, but also you should do different things each day, then even though you are still working out most days, some areas of the body are getting a rest.

There's just not a lot of strangers here.

This site is way too far down in a search.
It's a huge pain to find it.

Something needs done to bring it higher up in a search.

The original site was easy to find as it was high up in a search.
