This year, I'm thankful for people who have spoken up for democracy, so I just sent snail-mail thank-you notes to some lawmakers who have been especially courageous. I hope other folks will consider doing the same as we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the U.S.

We will schedule more in the coming months!

If I'm ever headed that way, Ill give you a heads up.

I am most thankful for family and friends, but that's not a political board comment. I am thankful to live in a country where new leaders can be elected. And I am thankful in advance that election results next November will bring about a new direction for our country.

1. Found HH with no log book. All it says on the back of the stamp is skis #3.

The image is the word 'SKIS'.

The only thing I found was here

But reading the comments, that is not it. Im guessing it was from a series of HH's.

What would you do with it?

2. I found a HH that has log book
Owner: kity cat & Karl.
Title: 'Smoking Sherlock'.
Date: 2/15/05

On the back page it says 'unlisted on AQ". (i checked the other site and nothing their either.

I checked the first and last few finders and it seems they never logged it.

Any suggestions on what to with it?

Stamp it, put it in another letterbox. Move on.
Not everything needs to be logged online.

Plenty of older boxes (traditional & HH) were never listed on a website that had logging options.

I agree with RIclimber. If you absolutely must log it, log it as unlisted and move it on.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and happy birthday to my lb birthday twins today!

Trump can't but the Supreme Court can.

I realize this is technically off the topic but you brought it up...

Do you know any trans people? Do you have any idea what it might be like to be trans?

I do. I am trans. I am not delusional, I have known since I was single digits in age in the 1960s, I didn't know what it was, I found out when I was 12 in a psychology book. Do you think we haven't been through therapy? Do you think we want to be trans? Do you honestly think it is a choice? It's years of therapy before you can get hormones let alone any surgeries. You think I and other trans people are crazy. How dare you! You really have no idea and yet you think we are nuts.

Try telling a lefty they are really a righty faking being left handed. That is what anti-trans people do.

LGTBQ Group here in the Boards

Regarding Gender Confirming Surgeries (Sex Change is out of date terminology and honestly derogative), the military spends more on Viagra than confirmation surgeries. Is Viagra needed to be an effective soldier?

Uuuuuu. That’s a good one. You people. God bless ya.

There is a lot of hate in your blessed little heart.

Harboring hate only builds walls around yourself—no one ever finds peace behind them.

Happy Thanksgiving and happy birthday! 🎉

That thread on Same Sex Marriage got moved from this group to It's Politics as Usual. Who is this "narocks" person? When he added to a post about trans people being delusional, of course I wasn't going to let it rest.

Just FYI, this is a public board, so everyone who hasn’t ignored this board can see posts to it.

It got moved because it morphed into more of a general discussion on politics and Trump.

I’m not sure what that means.

He’s someone who has a right to express their opinion whether we like it or not.

Yet that is exactly what you did. To intentionally stir the pot. Really hard to take you seriously. But may God Bless you richly :)

It is human instinct to question and distrust others who do not fit in to the pack mentality of "normal." This is more common in youth, as most adults have outgrown this outdated survival instinct and replaced it with more advanced executive function reasoning. Yet many adults feel safer clinging to the narrow definitions of normal as set forth by their equally myopic peers. There is a sense of security in pack mentality. And it avoids the troublesome chore of independent thought.

These might be your skis!

p green frog carved a bunch of HHs and they are still active in many places. She was from Urbana, IL and passed away several years ago. We all loved and adored her. I taught with her for many years as did Tyson's mom. We had a HH Hostel at Homer Lake Forest Preserve in Champaign County and I think her HH was there for awhile.

1. 285662 skis

Hope that helps!

If it is this one, foster it and remove the restrictions long enough to log it.

😉

And leaders.

Hope you had a great one, Dana!

And everyone else as well!

WOW, thats them. How in the world did you find it. I spent so much time looking for these.

Ill put a sticker on the baggy with the AQ number. Thank you so much.

I searched "winter" and filtered to just show HHs with a box count of at least 2 (which would indicate a series). Picking "winter" for the search term was just a lucky guess 😜. Then I just clicked through to see if "skis" were #3 for any of the series and cha-ching!

Nope. The paradox of tolerance. Disagreement is disagreement, transphobic hate speech is not an opinion, it is an act of violence and should be dealt with accordingly.

It's one thing to express an opinion, it's totally different calling trans people crazy, delusional, needing mental help. I happen to take extreme offense at that.
