Native American Girls Gather At Plymouth For Day Of Mourning, November 26, 1992
National Day of Mourning Plaque
NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING
Since 1970, Native Americans have gathered at noon on Cole's Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers. To them, Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people, the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their cultures. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today. It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection as well as a protest of the racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience.
Congratulations, you're the first person I've seen in a long while who has used "you're" correctly. Usually people use "your".
*cough* A number of folks on these local forums are grammatically lazy, skipped 5th grade writing class or are non-native speakers. The result is, as you suggest and which is amply witnessed on these pages, a nightmare of linguistic assault and battery.
Happy Thanksgiving, tc. Those are really beautiful flowers!
I went to a lot of Black Friday sales today and got some Christmas gifts for 40% off.
What did you do?
You said you worked in Saudi, correct? How long ago now?
Anyway, I have many opps to work in Saudi, kind of thinking on it. It looks like Saudi has changed a lot over the last few years or so. Women can now drive, inshallah.

a) Thanks, PB b) Thanks again, PB c) avoided shopping beyond a supermarket stop d) I left Saudi in 2003. As you might imagine, lots of horny men on the compounds just waiting for a wink and a nod + depending on where you work, you get a good salary (and bennies) and plenty of time off to explore more interesting places outside the Kingdom.

Thanks luv, for organizing my writing.
Yeah, I've been speaking with people from Saudi both men and women on an EFL online English site. I see they are super nice people and eager to learn English. Obviously, I could live a somewhat normal life on a compound and the coin is pretty good. I have a Skype interview. I never thought I could work there, but I am really surprised by the people of Saudi. They seem pretty open and friendly. Did you find that?
^Hahaha! You naughty boy!
I'm not really into Saudis, eesh! I remember when I lived in Kuwait, I found the men smelled, smoked a lot and were a turn off. The coin could be good, and the city I have my eye on is near Bahrain were you can drink some.

Dhahran, Dammam and Al-Khobar are where many expats live and work: access to the causeway to Bahrain is right there.

Right, and I've been told that there are many expats in Damman cause of Aramico (sp) oil company there.
Well anyway, i'll look into it, no harm, no foul. Would be great to save up some coin for a few years. How long were you there for?
