Everytime I see one of these posts I have to make the same comment. The US is metric, everywhere that it matters. In the military, in the medical field, and in the scientific field. The ONLY reason we haven't converted every other part of our lives to metric is that our country is 50 times the size of the average European country. Do you know how expensive it would be to replace the infrastructure we've built and maintained over the past 200 years? The tax payers could not handle that burden, and it would require every state to agree to the terms of the change for a total conversion.

At this point, it is just part of our identity. It would be like asking the French to eat day old bread. They could, but why?

Right? The two words used in the bible that are translated, by tradition, into "carpenter" actually translate as "craftsman" and "builder". Jesus helped build houses, which at the time and in that region were made of stone. So there is some strong evidence that Jesus was a stone mason. To back that up, a lot of his parables used house-building as an aid.

We can't know for sure, but yeah! Kinda neat, huh?

Or possibly a stone mason, weirdly.

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen a board like this. Black would have to really mess up to lose this game.

Hahaha, I doubt anyone would want to buy my old childhood books. They're covered in dragon ball stickers, drawn on, stained with various foods and drinks... over all I was not very respectful of my books when I was 7 xD The internet fame would be nice though! Maybe, I hear that backfires for a lot of people lol

Well, I'm setting a calendar reminder for every day I'll be in Washington this December to hit the storage unit on the way back. Gotta grab my old laptop and external hard drive anyway so why not!

I'll see if I can track her down. She moved to the UK for university about 6 years ago, but I doubt she brought all her childhood stuff with her(her whole family is still in southern California). My stuff is in storage near Washington at the moment, but I should be going up there before December to nab some stuff.

I bet the photos we took are in those boxes too xD

I legit still have my books from when I was a kid. Berenstien. My friend also has their books from when they were a kid. Berenstain. We argued about it off and on for like a decade before we finally settled it. We only have one book in common, a halloween one, but other than that we have no idea what happened. They were printed in different years, but why would that matter??? IDK, it is a mystery.

I feel like I covered my bases with the rest of my comment there. If you have thousands of photos that you want to share, host them on your server and whitelist the people you want to see them :/

IRL I've never sent nor received more than a handful of pics at a time, and always through email. It would have never occurred to me that people are out there sending the whole family collection to each other digitally. Grandma hordes those pics for a reason; as leverage for people to visit her!
