Sleeping Beauties: The Victorians and Post-Mortem Photography

How to Become an Activist
Very good article. I think I belong to the group of "one-hour activists" :-)

John Deere Toys for Girls
I borrowed my brothers toys LOL. It's good their Dad didn't stereotype them into "girls toys". Digging in the dirt is so much fun. The Deere toys are a lovely shade of pink aren't they.

Firefighters are truly heroes. So many of them in small communities are volunteers, too. These are some nice ornaments to honor them.

A Foreigner’s Guide to Tipping in the USA
Thanks for the comment Brenda. Yep, it seems like there are so many pitfalls with tipping that even lifelong Americans don't always know what to do. It's certainly a steep learning curve! Mike

A Foreigner’s Guide to Tipping in the USA
Great read, I had not thought about this before. I always tip big, I worked as a waitress while going to college and understand how difficult and demanding it is. I really appreciate others waiting on me. I enjoyed learning from your foreigners ...

Sleeping Beauties: The Victorians and Post-Mortem Photography
Oh wow. My family has some old black and white photos that are probably from around this time. Now I wonder if the people being photographed... were alive. *shivers*

A Foreigner’s Guide to Tipping in the USA
Excellent article. I'm American and I know of many Americans that refuse to tip. That shows no class. I have a friend who doesn't tip her nail girl or her hairdresser. When I called her on it, she said, "I'm not even going to get that started." ...
