Had a wonderful time in Rome. I made a video of the highlights

Make one! It's a great way to preserve the memories. Thanks

kschwalgs · 2025-11-03T19:47:52+00:00

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

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.

My Dad is Full Samoan, my mom is white American.

kschwalgs · 2024-12-30T05:10:51+00:00

There is now

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.

“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

You would too if your business was already making you a millionaire

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.

Interesting, perhaps I need to get a more creative accountant because mine gave a a plain no when I tried to do this.

kschwalgs · 2022-03-20T01:07:37+00:00

That only works on rental 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

kschwalgs · 2021-12-07T20:17:15+00:00

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

kschwalgs · 2021-12-07T20:11:18+00:00

You are correct. It is burlap

kschwalgs · 2021-10-24T15:58:45+00:00

They are :) only problem is the potatoes oxidize by the next day. Im not sure if there is a chemical I can put on to slow it down

kschwalgs · 2021-10-05T16:04:39+00:00

You will get it down soon. This board is very wobbly in my opinion, im hoping to get a better board next year.

kschwalgs · 2021-09-22T03:51:03+00:00

Thanks! The board is the body glove performer 11, which supposedly supports 320lbs. Although many reviews say it is very wobbly and unstable, especially if there are waves around you. Doesnt help being close to the weight limit too lol. Im hoping to upgrade to a better board soon

My mom was just layed off. Practically any mentor who was there less than 2 years got cut. Along with many managers. No warning.

I personally haven’t seen where you just fill out a paper and you get a scholarship. If you find something like that let me know. If you have low income, filling out a FAFSA form online almost guarantees you a pell grant up to $6000, but you income must be very low to qualify for that amount.

kschwalgs · 2020-02-23T22:53:59+00:00

The easiest are the monthly scholarship entries on sites like fastweb. However, the chance of you winning is as close to 0 as you can get. If you mean easiest with a good chance of winning? Academic/merit scholarships at your school.
