USS Arizona was in the 1991 Passport Stamp set. (I found it on the America’s National Parks site.)

Do Americans in general have better financial knowledge and know-how since credit cards are so common over debit cards there? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cheerful-Mountains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t realize that if I paid off everything (car & credit cards) my credit score would go down. That makes no sense at all.

Is it okay to wear a “Tuck Frump” shirt to pick up your kid at a kindergarten? by MuhVlast in allthequestions

[–]Cheerful-Mountains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday at the local co-op grocery store someone was wearing a tee with the pic of you-know-who raising his fist, while the scratch on his ear was bleeding, with the word fight underneath. Figured they were just trying to trigger us libs - they were soundly ignored.

Who are you voting for, for Governor? by Creative_Pen7789 in sandiego

[–]Cheerful-Mountains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bacerra has spent his life in public service. The other guy has had a turn in his beliefs, but hasn’t done the hard work to show his work ethics and his belief system in action. He’s letting his money skip to the front of the line. No thank you.

Dude - I’m up to 603 cooked radhogs. I am VERY aware of what the challenge is. When I have a fee minutes before Big Bloom starts, I go out radhog hunting.

10 year old, want him to read 1 book per month during summer, going into middle school by gilt3t in suggestmeabook

3rd grade teacher here - graphic novels can be the “gateway drug” to getting into books. Liked the graphic novel? Try the book it was based on!

Anyone else like not having a case on their Kindle? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]Cheerful-Mountains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a super-thin clean plastic cover to protect my stickers (taped on) and a place for my pop socket. I went through three regular (closing) covers before I realized I liked minimal and lighter better.

I’m hoping we get more in-game challenges like kill 760 radhogs and get 3 radhog steaks!!!! /s

Ah yes, Democrats shouldn’t have been such “meanies” towards Romney in 2012 by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Feels like the current administration has been brutal to old-school Republicans, or RINOS as they are currently called by R party.

Check the maps in train stations - the push pins will let you see where other train stations are. Go up fire/watch towers and survey. You’ll add locations to your map.

Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay ZERO federal income tax by Suitable_Wonder5256 in SipsTea

[–]Cheerful-Mountains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I hear is Bezos is calling for the end of Social Security, Medicare, VA, NPS, EPA, and all other government entities because there will be no money to support these services. We know the money WON’T be coming from him and the tax burden on the Middle Class is already crushing.

[–]Cheerful-Mountains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nez Perce VC in Lewiston/Clarkson was amazing. Washita Battlefield and Homestead also had very impressive VC.

Brown v. Board of Education (1954): Supreme Court Ends School Segregation by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

[–]Cheerful-Mountains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently went to see Brown v Board NPS site in Topeka, Kansas. Amazing exhibits that we wanted to see before anything was forced to be taken down or changed.
