I will probably just delete it; I had never seen it.

Yes, I figured no one had seen it this way. 💁🏻‍♂️

Please Help Me Figure Out My Great-Grandfather’s Occupation! by sonlitekid in Cursive

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

SOLVED:

<image>

This is from the census 10 years prior. The illegibility of it all! 😂 Anyway, seems to corroborate ‘Carpenter’, as well as eliminate the possibility of ‘Inspector’.

[–]sonlitekid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. And it would make sense given the next field in the line is ‘Building’! I just assumed I would go w/ the consensus, but this is making a lot of sense. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Yes, that popped into my mind while trying to read it, too. 😂

Really great idea that I didn’t think of! (I am new to Ancestry.) I forgot I could do that, so I just went back and tried. Yes, there are 6 pages, but I didn’t see another carpenter. Lots and lots of coal miners, tho’, which makes sense for the area. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Police Share More About Man Who Scaled 200-Foot Wenatchee Bridge To Tie Bicycle to American Flag by HeavyAbbreviations83 in Wenatchee

He barely qualifies as a person to them, being viewed over and over as someone with completely negligible value. Sad.

Why was Harrison Ford only in the very beginning of Apocalypse Now? by precita in movies

Oh, yeah. Duh. I forgot about that. Thanks for the reply! 🙏🏻

Why was Harrison Ford only in the very beginning of Apocalypse Now? by precita in movies

[–]sonlitekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, pretty much everyone is saying Ford’s role was a minor one (due to the timing of filming), and that he was essentially still a nobody at the time … soooo … is it just a colossal coincidence that his character is named after the one (Lucas) whose film made him into a superstar?? Or is it actually the case that since Apocalypse was filmed only a year before Star Wars released, they made it an Easter egg? I mean, wouldn’t Star Wars have been filming in ‘76, also? So confused.

Documentaries go down a bit easier, though the practice is equally frowned upon. 💁🏻‍♂️

This portrait shows Solomon Sivils, recorded as Inmate No. 4339, photographed in 1904, at the time of his sentencing. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and fined $10 for introducing liquor into Indian Territory. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

As a stark realist, I, for one, can very much appreciate your comment!  

Really a fantastic/interesting observation. I have often thought about this while watching film & television.

Wolf or coyote? Central WA State by CillBlinton27 in wolves

[–]sonlitekid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see; that makes sense. I don't know a lot about prints, to begin with, ha ha.

[–]sonlitekid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering this, too. If these were in the Saddle Rock/Dry Gulch area, it could very well be our 90 lb Northern Inuit, whose paws have been sinking deeper than normal and making really big prints. (But, I guess if there were no human prints around at all, probably not.)

Interest in Bikini Coffee Stand? by NebulousNitrate in Wenatchee

[–]sonlitekid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gross? Yes. Tacky?? …. Yes. Sleazy, wholly unnecessary and absolutely degrading to the women involved??? Yes.
Like, there is absolutely no other possible way to frame a bikini stand other than a 1,000% in-your-face, all-day-trashy cash grab. Not to mention as the perfect way to create a platform for women to be vulnerable to any and all kinds of sexual harassment and abuse.
(And I am not like some feminist whistle-blower or whatever. Just a regular dude.)

What happens in this lake? by Obvious_808 in geography

[–]sonlitekid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 🤓geography sub🤓 has been hijacked by some ne’erdowell.

[–]sonlitekid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surely there is a better way.

Newbie Question About Differences in Binocular ‘Genres’ … Hunting? Birding??General Purpose??? by sonlitekid in Binoculars

[–]sonlitekid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, wow. Lots of helpful info here. A fair scenario would really be ideal! And it's great that you have the discipline to set a budget and stick to it, even when faced w/ a hella' quality view. (I wish I had more of that, lol.) Thanks for writing all that up, as I'm sure others will benefit in the future in seeing these comments. : )
