Why you should always wash new clothes

Beowulfsfriend comments on Feb 14, 2019:

I can attest that even in the cleanest clothing manufacturing plant, clothes will have dust and dirt, and been handled often and, as cloth, spent time on the floor. At 17, just out of high school, before the military and college, I worked briefly at a sewing factory. And, yes, I'm a guy. I did odd jobs and later shipping. I joke that I had 60 mothers. When the clothes went to pressing and steaming there were chemicals used. I didn't know which.

When you know... you know.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Feb 13, 2019:

which species? humans? Well, I don't know, as it varies from place to place. I did just see an article that said women are not hard wired to be monogamous like many believe. I have seen articles on certain people with sexual habits that helps set monogamy or not. And I recently saw an article, which I haven't read about the 30 cities where people are least monogamous. The actually action of being monogamous may occur more due to culture than due to desire.

It sure did.

Has anyone ever sued anyone?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Feb 13, 2019:

Only in small claims. So, i dont know about a higher level. Won both times. I am not a litigious person by nature, but when i am obviously mistreated I will seek recourse and in both cases i needed to sue. The first case the other party didn't show up. It cost them more as i only wanted the 90 dollars for my broken spedometer not repaired and charged for. They had to return my entire 200 for inspection. And the other was for an insurance company refusing to pay when their client's tree fell in my yard. Again, i only wanted my deductible but got more. That time I went in and did my own lawyer thing against their lawyer. That was slightly exciting. I knew i had won when I went to cite case law and the magistrate said, "Son, if a tree falls in the forest and someone suffers, someone pays." Best wishes. And good luck. If you have a lawyer I hope they are good. The best ones are the cockiest ones.

I had the greatest street preacher story happen in 77 at the U of Arizona campus. I was visiting friends and was stretched out on the grass. Some preacher stood on a wall and was spouting the normal stuff, including his experience of going to San Fran in 68. He kept babbling, then a guy, bald head and goatee, with a robe and staff and minions throwing free drink wooden nickels came and stood nearby preaching about Satan. Back and forth went the yelling. Then, the greatest thing happened. In 1977. A guy in a Spider-Man suit appeared and started dancing around the two. The crowd, absent in mind by then, came alive and started to cheer. Spidy is a real hero.

It says people don't trust the police. I find the police human like all other groups. Having been in education and social work, including adjudicated kids, I was held to a higher standard and I expect the same if the police, etc. I stop and talk to the police and wish them well because I know most are decent people trying to do right. But I am not giving a free pass just because they have a badge. When in the military, friends and I had a cop (female, for what ever that is worth) pull a gun on us for having a fire on the beach, 100 yards from where it was legal (25$ fine). Seemed a bit extreme as we had done no wrong. She stayed above us and waited for another cop who talked pleasantly with us, told us we had a nice small contained fire. To put it out, when we left not immediately. And wished us a good night.

I used to teach thst with American literature. The metaphor to bury the hatchet comes from that. The Confederation crumbled when they split their support during the Revolutionary War. They had added a sixth tribe since the original agreement. The six tribes couldn't decide who to aid, the evil, nasty Brits (just getting my Brit friends riled) or the kind, caring, quite patriotic revolutionaries. And, thus they were split, never rejoined and destroyed once the Brits left. The two tribes who supported the settlers were, of course treated no better and pushed Westward just like the tribes that joined the British.
