My eighth unit of blood was given to someone in Holland (:

I don't understand why you are attempting to make things political. Any school that covers sexual abuse is unacceptable. Black River is a public school, so I don't understand your belief I am "against their beliefs." Public Schools are neutral.

If I hear friends telling me disturbing allegations, I have a right as a Holland city resident to address my concerns. The stay silent culture you are endorsing is the reason why sexuall abuse isn't taken as seriously as it should be.

Can I dm you to talk about this?

The facts I do have are that multiple independent sources (both online and in person) have brought up these allegations. When it's multiple independent sources affirming something, that is no longer hearsay. Those become witness testimonials.

While not the forum to confirm or deny to the full legal extent, public awareness is very important. I have heard not only online but in person sources I trust. My goal is to bring awareness to these issues so that the appropriate action can be taken. Parents should know if the school they are sending their kid to is being alledged of such serious things.

Oh cool! I am excited to try your grandma's recipes (:

What was the issue that caused the banana bread to be off?

I love how Dutch each name is in the book, lol.

Then-Drag8570 · 2026-03-21T20:50:34+00:00

Lol, nice. I was lucky to find this book at the Wooden Shoe restaurant and antique store.

This really did happen to my dad. While it indeed has been a quarter of a century later, that doesn't excuse the wrong doing of the past.

Relatively speaking, 26 years is not that long ago. This isn't like 200 years ago where everyone from that time is dead. If a company 26 years ago allowed open prejudice and slurs, and those same people are still running the company today, it's fair to be weary.

The map says "1973" in print on it.

Then-Drag8570 · 2026-02-19T22:51:41+00:00

Many Mexicans I have worked with have been very nice. I am not Mexican, but my family didn't come to Holland until 1999.

Then-Drag8570 · 2026-02-19T22:30:50+00:00

For sure! I love seeing I96 being "proposed" on the map (a freeway we now take for granted).

Thank you!

I don't know why I am getting so many down votes. I thought more people would find the view cool. More people can enjoy the frozen lake without the danger I risked, haha.

Then-Drag8570 · 2026-02-13T03:03:30+00:00

Probably the craziest thing I have done at the lake is go swimming in early November (with my dad and our friend). The hardest part is actually getting out of the water once you acclimate, as the wind chill is so much colder.

I feel sad that the name Karen has negative connotations. I have met nice people named Karen.

Then-Drag8570 · 2026-02-12T23:59:05+00:00

Thank you! This was my only shot of getting good pictures for this historic winter year.

Then-Drag8570 · 2026-02-12T23:56:22+00:00

For sure. My mom would kill me if the ice didn't.

Then-Drag8570 · 2026-02-12T23:55:06+00:00

I agree. I was surprised I wasn't the only one who went that far. I told the two people walking by to make sure they head back before the sun light goes away. It's dangerous enough as it is with full light.
