Do you have Dews confused with someone else? He needs to add 40-50 lbs of really good weight before he even has a chance to become a factor.

It's totally the opposite here in Cali. You could be in a room with a bunch of people, and they would all be texting. The bolded statement makes me wanna move down here. California sucks despite what anyone says. It's a dead state.

One of my friends was out in Cali during the tech bubble. He didn't have a discernible accent but the Californians could tell within a few moments he wasn't from Cali. They told him it was because he was so friendly whereas Cali people tend to be more restrained.

He's very correct. You guys in the south could probably tell I'm not from your place in seconds. We're more distant here because California is full of crime. I don't trust anyone.

I always shake my head when I hear fellow Canadians boast about how friendly Canada is. The only time someone will look you in the eye on the street and acknowledge you is if they want something.

That's very funny. We try to avoid pretty much. The image that california is a great place to live is 100% false.

Yea we flew out to Disneyland in August. My wife was running in a marathon. My kids enjoyed the parks, although they like Orlando better. People were not rude, but they were in their own world, kinda like you said. There were homeless people everywhere. The weather was great though:good!:.

I agree that a lot of people don't know or care where their ancestors came from. Most people just automatically assume they must be english or irish. I for one am very proud of my scotch/irish and german heritage!

I'm a History teacher and every year I teach a couple of lessons on ancestors, and how there are clues to your heritage. You can look in the mirror and get some clues, eye color, hair color etc., but the easiest way is to do a Sur name search of you and your relatives. The students always love these lessons. My background is German and Greek mainly German.

Homeless people are everywhere. See them all the time sadly. It's ironic that were suppose to be more peace loving here, but we have a lot of crime here. There's least one shooting a day here.

There are actually quite a few homeless people in Knoxville, but that is because the city has a reputation for being nice to the homeless. When Katrina happened, New Orleans sent bus loads of homeless up to Knoxville. Most of them are genuinely good people who have fallen on hard times. I tried to buy them McDonald's or Copper Cellar whenever I could when I was a student.

We're probably close to #1 for the amount of homeless people here. A lot of our homeless are drug addicts and alcoholics. Katrina sent their flooded cars our way. That was handled terribly.

When I was at University of Oregon they were everywhere. One slept on my porch. The Dead show would come and when the Dead left most of the dead heads stayed. The bottle deposit sure helped.
