  1. Im not even joking, my wife is the worst for not labelling things

     

    I was cutting my sons hair and to wet it down i used a spray bottle of water

     

    My sons starts crying and thats when I realized it was full of vinegar

     

    Boy did I lay into her( 4 months pregnant now)

     

    ???

  2. Here is a dumb story...

     

    When i was about 17 me and a buddy were walking to an island via the railroad tracks(same place al linder filmed a show at, it was 5 mile or 7 mile cant remember?)

     

    We found a super old bottle of whisky, like 1895 or somewheres around there. Cool bottle, unopened. We see a partridge and i tossed the bottle at it and killed the partidge.

     

    Ate good but rather have the bottle lol

  3. I got pics somewhere but ive found numerous arrowheads along the river when the water is low. Also pipes of all shapes

     

    They def date back at least to the 1800's before the hudson bay trading comapany came in.

     

    Some are just wicked looking as i believe theyve been sand polished by the current

  4. Sorry Rick, we drove out to Norfolk today to find some and all the tobacco is gone. Next year I will get some as long as I don't get any rock salt in my ass. Maybe I'll just ask. I think it is great to raise the kids immersed in their Mom's culture but make sure they know the other mosaics of your mixed DNA. I have a niece that anglicised our last name and do not like that one iota. She is Irish Italian but didn't like our Italian name I suppose. I have cousins that did the same to get a leg up in the 60's. We all love her but I can't condone that. With your Mom there she can be a positive Nona. Don't lose who you really are in the conversation. You forgot the American part.

    Bummer, ah well thanks for looking.

     

    Ah man my kids are taught all about our culture(s) and its completely awesome.

     

    They're so intelligent its unreal.

     

    Its kinda weird cause its so blended and we teach the kids everything we can, but it all comes back to nature and thats what the kiddos really focus on so thats their decision.

     

    We dont force anything on them(nona sure does hahahaha)

     

    And ya know OI, those italian roots are very similar to aboriginal roots.

     

    Yeah there is differences but alot of it is very very similar

  5. On a lighter note...

     

    Not sure about skat bunk but in treaty 3 the humour is unreal! Even at the workplace its non stop jokes and everyone from chief down is fair game.

     

    I will say IMO aboriginals have the best sense of humour

     

    Heres another story to showcase that.

     

    When I worked maintenance I always plowed this one elders driveway first. She was a sweet old lady and her husband had passed maybe 12-15 years ago.

     

    Shed always invite me in for a quick cup of coffee and chat when i was done. Shed show me all her husbands fishing pictures etc because she knew I fished.

     

    She was pretty incapable so I found myself taking out her garbage and just doing lil things to help her out.

     

    Then one day after a coffee shes askes me to grab this garbage bag, so i do.

     

    She tells me its full of her husbands underwear and she wanted me to try it on and if it fit i could have it???

     

    Anyhow I quickly answered a work txt(ahem) and left.

     

    At lunch i was at the band office with my boss and the chief and a few others. I told them the story and we are all just laughing.

     

    My boss says" $100 right now if you go there in your undies and give her a quick show"!

     

    Nah man Im good lol

     

    The chief backs it up.

     

    4 others back it up

     

    Others get back from lunch and back it up

     

    Anyways by 2pm im up to like 1200 bucks and im all " ah what the hell"?

     

    Let me go have a a beer first and loosen up haha.

     

    No prob, but you got dance for her on the lawn so we can watch???

     

    Anyhow i head over there, lead her outside(she lives like 4 doors down from the band office)

     

    Pull off my pants and shirt and give her a dance I hope she has forgotten.

     

    After a few minutes she gives me a quick hug and just laughs. "Your wife is watching"

     

    Yeah i know, shes cool lol.

     

    She thanks me for the laugh and i head back to the band office to collect my money.

     

    I dont even think anyone worked that afternoon?

     

    All we did was laugh

  6. Man bunk thats horrible but so true.

     

    3 years back we had a horrible year for community losses. Seemed like every other month a respected member was gone.

     

    All funerals here are traditional, no priest. The funerals can be very very long. And i mean long18-20 hours.

     

    That year we lost two war vets. One was natural deathe the other was hit by a train. I was first responder with the fire crew then and i didnt even need a call, i could hear the screams from my doorstep. He was cut in half and his family was there and lets just say in my shock, i did the best I could to hide the body from his family

     

    I dont know how you do it bunk? Itll haunt me forever listening to the screams and cries as we try to find half a body with body parts scattered

     

    That year my wifes cousing also had a stillborn.

     

    All maintenance was off on vacation so it was my first funeral I had to do and it was so overwhelming. After the funeral it was pouring rain and he didnt want anyone to help but family, so after a whole was dug and we dropped her in, tobacco layed, everyone but me and my brother in laws stayed and it was so wet and muddy we buried that pour girl by hand. Not like shovel in hand i mean literally by hand.

     

    Ugh i have so many stories

     

    Next one wont be so bleak
