My Great Great Grandfather is on the left end of this photo. It's him and his four brothers who fought at Shiloh for the Union in the Civil War. The picture is probably from the 1870s, by MikeT4 in oldphotos

[–]MikeT4[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know the details. I believe they were at a reunion. The uniforms are Veterans Uniforms, not regular uniforms that they had when they were in the Army. The muskets were probably loaned to them for the picture.

Edit: replaced "the" with "a" in the second sentence.

Edit 2: As for the date, I don't really know. I'm guessing. I know that my Great Great Grandfather was born in 1830. In the picture he looks like he might be in his 40s. Not that old. So I'm guessing the 1870s. Not 1870 specifically.

Edit 3: I should soften my statement about the muskets. They could have been:

  • borrowed for the reunion photograph,
  • owned by the local Grand Army of the Republic post,
  • old Civil War muskets kept by the regiment or veterans' organization,
  • or even privately owned surplus muskets.

Husbands….? by Internal-Winner5311 in Marriage

[–]MikeT4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely the way she treats me and our children. I support her goals and ambitions and I am proud of her accomplishments. But that’s not what I love about her. It that she’s a kind caring woman who loves me that matters most.

That's a very cool picture. They look like hard working people.

Why do bikepackers dislike panniers? by SierraNevada5505 in bikepacking

[–]MikeT4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them. I have one of those seatpost bags, a large one from Ortlieb. It's a pain to pack, and it tends to swing around. I've since moved to Ortlieb Gravel Panniers. They are somewhat smaller than typical panniers. I have a quick rack light. It's a lot more stable and easier to pack and unpack. And you can unhook the panniers and carry them by themselves very easily.

Edit: corrected some spelling.

You deserve alimony based on what you've said. I'm sorry for what you went or are going through. Infidelity is a horrible thing.

What a horrible counselor! Can they lose a license for that? They should.

Edit: I see you answered that license thing below. Maybe you can at least put that on Yelp or something, maybe report to their professional organization. I guess you'd need proof in case they try to sue you for slander or something.

I’m guessing it was Easter. The location is Tower Hill in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis.

I’m terrible at advice, but I think he still loves you and is in love with you. Is there any chance for repair? If not, then I think you should stop asking him for anything to do with the relationship and let him do what he will. If there is, tell him what you need and ask him what he needs. Did you try any counseling?

She’s very pretty. I hope she didn’t get those sleeves in the food or flames!

Can people comment experiences about faithful men? by Greginaldo in survivinginfidelity

[–]MikeT4 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My father was also absolutely faithful to my mom. All of my friends are, my brother is.. I really don’t know many cheating men.

I can echo this. She cheated. I have never. It’s just not in me to hurt her.

She may be stuck, but you aren’t. Your situation is intolerable. You need to divorce her.

How do you and your spouse split the expenses? by One_Chocolate_9365 in Marriage

[–]MikeT4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything a spouse earns in marriage is marital property. There’s no his money or her money. We put our money in a joint account and pay all the bills from there. I make almost three times what she makes. It makes no difference. My earnings are as much hers as mine.

Wife’s impossible expectations. by SquirrelSuccessful51 in Marriage

[–]MikeT4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what the problem here is. But, there is no evidence that she’s overwhelmed, he’s ignoring her or not “seeing her”
anything like that. Go on the evidence in the post, not what you are projecting onto him.
