I find it interesting sometimes how certain cultures have their sense of humors, we Native Americans have a sense a humor that we understand and those who are not native American don't understand it and think were being hard on one another when in actuality it's a bit of respect, I also have an Irish side of me which also has an unusual sense of humor, I'm reminded of one of my Irish friends who asked me if I knew what Irish diplomacy was, not knowing, he proceeded to tell me, That Irish diplomacy was the ability to be able to tell somebody to go to hell and them looking forward to the trip....... now that's Irish humor...

It is funny. My ex-wife is white and I suppose I didn't warn her how things were before I took her to Oklahoma to meet my friends and family the first time. She thought we were really mean to each other. I finally explained that among Comanches, if you are not being terrorized, it means they either don't know you, don't know you very well or they don't like you. They never terrorized her....hehe.

Your other half away visiting somewhere, cause if she reads this your going to have some knots on your head.....

I'll be gone for the next 12 days and like brother Goodpasture I'll be traveling east for family business and a few obligations that have to be taken care of, I should be back after November 7 and will see y'all then.

Good to hear Jaada! Be sure and get your rest - it does wonders. I need to take my own advice too as I'm feeling a little sketchy tonight. Not sure what is wrong, but I didn't sleep well the past two nights either.
