Why women live longer than men.

I remember that, and if you look back you will see that I didn't agree with his views about beer but we are not talking about beer now. You and I Cathy, seem to agree on most subjects but this time I don't. I have to go out tonight and I have so many things to complete over the next few days that I might not even get a chance to look at all of the differing opinions on this (#/@x&*$) forum but I won't forget. We (not royal we) will get back to this subject in a couple of days.

I bought most of my Oriental rugs in Marrakesh which is in Africa. Guess they import them. I did buy a large local Berber rug. Berber rugs made from live sheep wool are way more expensive than wool from sheep that had been killed for food. Ask me if I care.

I have often thought that the indigenous natives of Central and South America didn't all come over the Bering Straits land bridge. I think some arrived by boat on both shores. I believe that there were unexpected intruders from Africa. Egyptians who inadvertently landed on the Central American shores. How else do you explain the sudden jump in cultural practices and the similarity of the pyramids? And on the West Coast, the peoples who colonized all of the Pacific Islands were expert seafarers and it would be very unlikely that they could find all those islands but miss the Americas. They supposedly started out from places like Vietnam so we are back to Asian ancestors again.
