I will have to watch that when I have twenty-plus minutes to spare.

The first thing I noticed about her is that she had hobbit hair, how funny that she noticed it herself. :D

When I see the New Zealand landscape, the Shire.. it's like a heartache. I'd go back to NZ in a heartbeat. Permanently.

Sam :love: I agree. ;)


On a side note, she has Van Gogh almond blossoms on her wall. ;)

Yes, I noticed the Van Gogh-like paintings too. And loved it. I was wondering if it is his split in two or just a different copycat.

No, the original Van Gogh is all in one. I've done a copy of it. :)

Yes, I know it’s all in one (it’s my fav; I lost the poster of it I had bought from the Van Gogh museum In Amsterdam. Boo); what I meant was did someone split the one in two? Or make two similar to Van Gogh’s.

:scratch: Erm.. I don't recall asking that question.. but I may have. I have a terrible memory. I recall asking V why The Church at Auvers was his favorite.

Those pieces the YouTuber has on her wall.. it looks like someone took a reproduction (Giclee print) & blew up certain parts for a multi-piece work. It's my guess the original was broken up into3 or 4 pieces like the the image below:

I previously posted a video of by this guy, who runs a historical channel on Youtube. He's best-known for his videos on the American Civil War, but he also uses the character of the Witchfinder-General to talk about the colonial history of New England. In this one, the W-G answers questions from r/relationships using the Bible and the penal laws of the Plymouth Bay Colony.

On a serious note, I think this is one most of the valuable things on Youtube - an interview in 1949 with 101-year-old Fountain Hughes, an African-American who grew up in slavery.



(There's other ex-slave interviews as well, I just picked this one)

Fascinating. I watched this one afterward. From the sound of it probably Ted Koppel from Nightline.

Do you think this may galvanise some of those teetering on the question of whether it's worth registering to vote?

Ooh yes, I saw this come up on Facebook! I used to be a huge fan of The [redacted] Chicks and definitely enjoyed this one - both the song and video.
