How'd you do that?? Only 12 minutes! Good to hear from you, Danna! Hope you feel like kicking high soon.

Here's for all you ladies ~ Me brother ~ he wanted to prove something to himself because he was turning 49. He's happily married with 4 kids. He won 1st place in his age division & 2nd overall. He is competing again this year because he wants to win it all. His age 50 midlife crisis, lol

Wish I could have a midlife crisis like that!

Quote: Funny story. So we have this "dark skinned" girl who works here. She's creole. And she was raised under a rock, so she doesn't know anything. I've know her for about 13 years, and she has always said "crackers!" when something messes up or goes wrong, and sometimes she would call a person that.

We told her not to. She didn't stop, so we gave up. She sounds a little like a parrot when she does it.

So the other day I'm cooking for a group and she wanders in and says she finally knows what a cracker is. "It's from cowboy days. The person with the whip was the cracker."

And I dropped everything out of my hands and hollered "it's what black people call white people and it's not nice!!"

Her eyes got big. So that's why we've been telling her to stop saying that? Yes, yes, yes.

That's interesting. 20 years ago, quite a few of my black students would call each other the N word in a friendly way. Practical theory is overusing a word diminishes it's power. Can't imagine it happening so much today... everything is labeled "racist" in middle school now! I was thinking something of the same case with "cracker" but there's more to it. More history than I thought.

This is interesting, but she should still stop if it offends you. I told my students to stop too.

Going to buy some spring peeps for the camp again. 15 polish and 5 OEs, or 10 polish, 10 silkies, and 5 OEs?

No one answered, so I'm going to try again. Y'all are gonna give me a complex. These are the babies that the campers will play with.

10 polish, 5 silkies, 10 OE? Less broodys, more eggs!

Lol We prefer to be called white folk....

Very interesting article! While reading I did remember the "poor" part of it. I guess I'm just not big on labels, especially if they are meant to distinguish race or socioeconomic status. It's the same reason that I call new mamas by name instead of "the baby's mom" or introduce someone as John, Jamie's husband instead of Jamie's husband John. Identity and self-worth are sacred to me.
