The Worthless Thread for Specifically Increasing Post Numbers

i missed sunday school this morning for the first time in a long time... .. but i won;t be in trouble... . we went to a pearl harbor commemoration ceremony at ford island early this morning.... and my sunday school teacher was there too. ... .. she was a witness to the very beginning of the attack in 1941 - standing outside her church in shock by what she was seeing.... until her older brother grabbed her and ran inside with her for safety..... she is almost 90.... but remembers the details of what she saw like it was yesterday.....

This may be a worthless thread, but that's a worthy post!
 
these 3 live streams of waikiki are good for now... . but they will be worthless before

but for now you can check out live action in waikiki. ... ..(you can also scroll back

and see what was happening a few hours ago.. .... )



 
It's been cold here for the last week. January is a little bit early.
 
Apparently, I’m the only person who has ever written “eggnog” on this site.

Should hold it here! Beautiful sunny weather, mid 50s... Perfect biking weather for the annual Toy Run. It's always a hoot!
 
This one goes out to Ottawa drivers today.
Here in Michigan we have changed the pronunciation to Odawa for the tribes. Or the white man is finally pronouncing it correctly. Anyway, there is a small group of people who want to change the place names to match. Ottawa County would become Odawa County. 🤷

That's a perfectly acceptable pronunciation; even back in elementary school we knew the tribe was named Odawa rather than Ottawa. There are worse things. There's a street in Vancouver formerly named Trutt Street; earlier this year they changed it to Musqueamview Street to honour the Musqueam tribe. Fair and decent.

But they also added a sign reading "šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street," which is in North American Phonetic Alphabet, a lettering system designed by linguists to transcribe (primarily) indigenous languages, not as a system of orthography. Apparently a few West Coast Indians have adopted NAPA as a writing system, but unlike the more famliar Cree syllabics and their variations, they look like an unpronounceable word soup.

but then it would be the washington marathon..... :confused: ...:sneaky: ..........

the rain wasn;t as heavy as the forecast said it could be..... (never is)..... but even so 43 thousand people from all over the world took part this year... ......... this is one of the few marathons in the world where there is no prerequisite or qualifications to enter - and no cut off time limit.... ..you can take as long as you need to finish the race as long as you stay on course and finish before nightfall.... .i know people who participate every year and walk the entire distance - just to get the t-shirt saying they were a finisher....... 👕....

and honolulu intends to keep it that way coz it puts well over 100 million dollars into the hawaii economy - all in a single day...💰😊.. .....plus it also attracts some of the top elite athletes in the world too..... the winning time this year was 2 hours 14 minutes and 41 seconds..... that;s only 8 minutes off the olympic marathon record....
