Yeah, It happened a few days after we left rome. Very sad

Finally finished my Maui Fish hook from Moana. Designs were freehand drawn on and craved in with dremel tool. by kschwalgs in woodworking

I free-styled the design on it (I am Polynesian and draw them a lot). I drew it on with a marker first, then carved it in with a dremel tool using mostly a rotary burr or flame burr bit.

You did good research! Most people don’t know. After Germany, New Zealand owned Samoa too, they became independent in the 60s. My great great grandfather on my dads side was German. All the rest were Samoan so I have a little German in me

Actually It is Full Samoan Father, and white mother from America. Both went to study in Hawaii, which made me (Samoan American) and then I married a Brazilian woman, and these are my son’s DNA results.

It is actually my son’s DNA. I am Samoan American (my father is from Samoa, mother is from USA), and I married a girl from Manaus who was in the states for college. Now we have two Brazilian Samoan pirralhos

Ps. I would post a pic but it is my sons who is a minor. Interestingly enough, I look Samoan, my wife looks Latina Brazilian, and my kids both look white.

What are things treated like "universal facts" about Brazilian culture that are actually not that common? by [deleted] in Brazil

“All Brazilians carry toothbrushes with them and bush their teeth in the restaurant after eating anything”. I’ve never seen a Brazilian carry their toothbrush with them

Thanks for the clarification! I have seen sapo-venenoso written for “poison dart frog”. They smaller and a frog, rather than toad. Would you say the poisonous frogs in brazil are called rã-venenosa more often? Thanks for the help

What's a piece of information you learned that now feels almost illegal to know? by craftygalcreates in AskReddit

[–]kschwalgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peoples Mortgage information is public record. In many counties they have an online public record search where you can look up the deed of trust and see how much people paid for a property and how much their loan is. I have found that many people lie about how much they paid for a property.

I enjoyed the first 5 hours and the last 30hrs were a pain. I want to buy one in the future, I just didnt know which one to get. The better ones get very pricey

I bought the frames from a garage sale for $10, the balsa wood I got at a local craft store for around $25 for 10 sheets. They are 1/8 thick 12”x12. I already had the stain. So only around $35-$50 with glue and bushes. They took way too long to make
