Every well thought out reply has mentioned philosophical reasons for names, but there are also practical reasons why one surname might be better than another. We work so hard on the first names - it has to convey all the right things, not have people make any negative assumptions before actually knowing the person…

It may not even look the same. The process of cloning cats has led to the theory that cat color is probably influenced by methylization of cells in the womb. There’s also epigenetics to consider. They used to blame the multiple colors in kitten litters on the mother cats being promiscuous but that turns out not to be…
Thank you
The first sentence of Ellestra’s comment is “It’s not just ice melting.”. If you see something different, get your prescription adjusted.
Johnny Cash never shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. Glen Campbell wasn’t ever a Wichita Lineman. Tony Orlando didn’t really ever see a hundred yellow ribbons round the old oak tree. The Village People were never in the Navy. I don’t really know if Billie Jean was Michael Jackson’s lover, but a lot of songs…
If you would have read the other comments, native americans are not Cher’s “own people”. But as mentioned previously not every song is exactly autobiographical. Lots of singers also have songs about a broken heart they didn’t have, or how beautiful someone was, when there was no such love affair.
Good point! I lived in Indiahoma OK for about a year, also lived in Alaska where there were no reservations. In fact, under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the tribes incorporated and own lands as what are called “Native Corporations” and each corporation uses its resources to support their people. This can…
One of the band members worked briefly as a teacher when they still had day jobs, IIRC. That song is ambiguous. I’ve never been able to figure out whether that was the teacher warning a girl with a crush on him not to stand too close (which would reflect badly on him, if he were conscientious) or the girl asking him…
And birds fly over reservoirs and poop. Basically water may have poop in it. And pee. I guess you are one of the folks who think 6 to 8 oz of pee justified emptying a reservoir of millions of gallons of water.
Do you have any reading comprehension? She said the artifacts were accidentally sunk in the river, then uncovered during a drought which caused the river to be at a lower level. The lower water level caused items to be visible which had previously been under water. No time travelers involved, merely a drought.
You don’t know why he reached for his pants waist band. Maybe he was afraid he would be stereotyped for having “sagged pants” and wanted to pull them up to seem more respectable when he realized it was police at the door. But sure, make it his fault and not the person who pulled the trigger.

The other place where artifacts are being revealed is along coastlines that are being eroded, and in permafrost which is melting. I was about to say it might be a good time to be an archaeologist, but since they can’t rescue it all, I guess it is simultaneously a tough time to be an archaeologist.
These “ice patches” are more properly called cirque glaciers. People reading this are interested in science, don’t infantilize them by using dumbed-down terms. Ice patches are what remain in the shady parts of my driveway on a sunny winter day after a snowstorm.
The Edge of Seventeen.. I have to say it took me years to realize that was horrible... but I think I was less than 17 when it came out. But would it still be played so much on classic rock stations if a guy sang that? Not in today’s climate! There are other songs that say similar things about young women, but usually…
Can I ask a couple of questions of the people on this thread? Because there seem to be a lot of people with good information.
Yes, but will it get more stars if a cowboy says the same thing pointed out earlier? I’m curious to see how that turns out.
When you have a population where most people who are born, die within a couple of years due to childhood illnesses that we now vaccinate against, then a cluster of deaths for young adults where men (as you mention) die in war and women die in childbirth — the number of people who live out a normal life span just don’t…
