I've seen him. But I don't see people as colors. I judge people by their character and actions not by the color of their skin. So I never bothered to make a mental note of his race. Someone on this thread said he was black so that's the only data I had to go on. Why would anyone lie on an Internet forum? Especially about something that makes no difference? No one was fired because no one was hired. We are all free agents in this business and can chose who we want to do business with. It has nothing to do with race.
So John were you going 360?Who has those $25 fixed cost leads?
How is talking about food silly? The wife cooked the two turkeys overnight. The two hams just came out of the oven. Now, she is making 3 pans of cornbread dressing and a pot of giblet gravy to go with it. The potatoes are peeled and on the stove; will soon be ready to mash. The green beans are cooked and the sweet potato and pumpkin pies are on the way. The deviled eggs, what is left, are in teh fridge under lock and key to keep me out of them. There are more fixings being prepared. Can't wait until 6:00PM when everyone gets here, expecting 25 - 30, so we can dig in. We truly have much to be thankful for and if this is silly, I'll take it every day!
Wasn't referencing this. That is one hell of a spread.
Having to sample some baked cheese stuffed Jalapenos my son-in-law's mother brought in.. It is a dirty job but somebody has to do it.

My wife got up yesterday at 5am and again today at 5am, just pulled 16lb turkey from oven, deviled eggs in the fridge, 24 cupcakes and a cream cheese iced carrot cake on the table, dressing cooking in the oven, home made pecan pie fills the air with sweet smells of the holiday, I'm getting ready to cut the cranberry sauce and she will finish off cooking the beans and cooking 2 pans of Mexican cornbread and sweet potato soufflé and the rolls. What did I ever do to deserve this angel?
Which Indians? The ones who were here when we landed? Or the ones that conquered those Indians? Or the one that conquered the Indians that had conquered the preceding Indians? Or the ones that....?
Up until American Western society, all land, resources and wealth was transferred by war, looting and pillaging. Until Americas rise, this was seen as the "moral" way of increasing wealth. It was not until America, that the phrase "to make money," was coined. To make money out of thin air, by hard work, ideas, inventions etc. Shopkeepers and traders (salespeople) were considered just a little higher than slaves/servants in every other culture. America was the first country that put us at the top of the food chain.
But I'm sick of people making us look like the bad guys because we forcibly "stole" this nation. Have you ever looked at how the borders of Europe, Asia and Africa has changed over the past 2000 years? So yeah, we took this country from the Indians! So what? There's not an Indian today that wants to go back and live in teepees and forego running water and electricity. Their taking all that white guilt and building casinos. Give me a break.
And yeah we had slaves too. And we're the only country to fight a civil war to grant them their freedom. Slavery was on its way out anyway. The Founders knew the timing wasn't right and that they'd never get the South on board with immediate Emancipation. Slavery is bad for any free country. The slave owners become lazy and don't produce or invent, they rely on the slaves. And the slaves don't give it 100%, because they don't get to reap the fruit of tHeir labor. That's why the North took off. That's where most of the inventors and American ingenuity took place. Even today, most millionaires in America are first generation millionaires. We even helped found a country in Africa for the slaves to go back to: Liberia. Many even went back. And now they have been returning in large numbers to escape the poverty and disease that is rampant in that continent. It's like when Muhammed Ali got back from "The Rumble in the Jungle" in Africa, a reporter asked him how he liked Africa. He said, "I'm glad my granddaddy got on that boat." Everyone in America, and arguably around the world, is better off because we took over this continent.
I'm thankful for my country and it's past. And I won't let Saul Alinsky, Obama, or Hillary Clinton try and re-write the history books and make America look like the bad guy. The world has grown more prosperous through our form of Democracy as our influence has spread. And we can clearly see the chaos that is happening as our Dear Leader tries to pull us out from the international scene.
If our way of life diminishes, we will revert back to war, looting and pillaging. We already are. 1 out of 5 families today are enjoying their Thanksgiving dinner on my dime. They looted it from me and you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
After that post I just realized we must have been separated at birth. It's nice when someone posts about history actually knows about history, right there with ya. Nice read. ----------Which Indians?

Well I'm 20% Cherokee! my great grandmother and great grand father 100% Cherokee. Problem is my Irish blood tends to over ride the calmness and any chance of dark skinLet me guess..... 1/64 Native American and trying to get your cut of the casino money...... Ahhhh the American Way....
Well JG I apologize if I have insulted you. That's definitely not my intention. But I don't know what you are talking about messing with your livelihood. There is nothing on our end that stop you from making every penny that you would have made before. Brad and I have transferred agents back and forth many times. No one has to wait anything out. That's what the release is for. You'll never miss a beat. Seamless transition.
My posts on the forum have always been the same. No need to take anything I say as personal. I have never used smiley faces or any of that stuff because I want people to have to figure out when I'm joking or being serious. Sometimes that doesn't translate well on an Internet forum. But I don't have any bad feelings toward you. Just think a clean break is best. Again, if that makes me a bad guy, I'll just have to live with that.
