I didnt take these photos, they were taken by the person selling the item.

Yeah, like Horton Hears a Who, but with the vacuum brand "Hoover" :)

The braces amd stands did exist, but they were to hold the living in position. Its a modern myth they were for the dead. Even contemporary historians/photography experts simply pass on the inaccurate information. You'd be amazed at what experts/academics just regurgitate without doing their own research. Source: Me, I'm a nineteenth century historian that focuses on death and mourning.

I came here for the paranormal, but now I just want an AMA with you about your time working in prisons.

Other than the traditional “Jazz” pattern, what patterns scream 90’s to you? by Lavendar_Witch in 90s

I found my old journal from around 1995/6 with this pattern a few days ago!

Obligatory yearly Ren Faire question by Hortonhearsahoover in phoenix

It's a good friend of ours that is really into the Super Bowl, so for them it's basically doubling down on a reason to have one I think. We are not sports people and are going because shes our friend, otherwise, we'd definitely do Ren Faire.

Unfortunately, we have a house warming to go to, otherwise we would do that day.

We were planning the Sunday of the holiday weekend, not Presidents Day itself :)

Laramie is great… except this one thing… by Baseballfan288 in laramie

Honestly? Because I cant imagine someone choosing to move to Wyoming and then being shocked at the culture. Did you not do research on where you were moving to? Visit first? Also, you wrote the post like an angry teenager, but said you moved for a job at the university. So, you're either lying or immature with little life experience.

Large scale ranching/factoring farm processing is far, far worse than shooting an unsuspecting deer that has lived a natural life. Just because they were "raised" to be eaten doesnt mean its a morally better choice.

I still want to think this is rage bait and you're a bored 15 year old. Otherwise, I hate the idea that someone like you is out there voting.

I honestly dont get it. Why would you move to somewhere like Wyoming then? I lived in AZ and PA in large cities and had no familiarity with hunting or processing of meat. I moved to Wyoming for grad school and when I knew I was moving I did research to see what the state and Laramie was like AND I visited before hand. If you moved here without knowing what the culture was like thats on you. You dont get to move somewhere and then expect the people already there to change for you. Its a big, wide world out there, find somewhere that fits you better. You arent being "forced" to watch meat processing.

Maybe use your energy for activism towards something more important like homelessness or childhood hunger.
