Hi Ben - "Long time - no talk" I have not been on this site for a while and my weight loss is really stuck - still the same 12 lb loss. what can i do to get motivated.
I am currently reading "A thousand white women" for my book club - it is a fictionalized story of a real time in history when the chief of the cheyennes asked General Grant for 1,000 thousand white women in exchange for 1,000 horses - the white women were wanted as brides to the cheyenne's - since their's is a matrilineal society in which all children born belong to the mother's tribe -this being the cheyennes perfect way of assimilating into the white man's world -a terrifying new world even as early as 1874, the native americans clearly recognized held no place for them - needless to say - even though he was drunk President Grant turned them down.
i have not gotten into the meat of the book yet - have not met the "savage warriors" but feel they may be less savage than what i have already in this book of the white man and their treament of women - - the women sent west were taken from prisons, insane asylums, etc. 3013 days ago

Hi Ben. I noticed that you are now a co-leader of the Patriots. Have you heard anything from Debbie, our other leader? I've been worried about her. She lives relatively close to me and she has been very quiet. Thanks for becoming a leader. 3029 days ago
