The phrase "United Nations" was used by officials to refer to the "Allied Nations". So, although the actual U.N. in New York was not formed until after the end of the war, "United Nations" was an official designation of the Allies in WW II. It surprised me to learn of it, because it was never used while I was learning history in (public) school. But, if you read the documents of the day there it is in black and white.

They make all different kinds...subs, mostly. Plus soups and salads.

It surprised me to learn of it, because it was never used while I was learning history in (public) school. Of course my problem in history (okay, yes it was in public school) was that we never got to WWII.
In Virginia, when you study Virginia history you start with Jamestown. And usually by late May you'd get to the end of the Civil War. So you'd have to cover about 100 years in the last week and a half of school...

So when I took U.S. History in college I had to ask "why are we talking about Massachusetts..."
Okay, it's not quite that bad. But the emphasis was definitely on the major role that Virginia had. Which is true, but not to the exclusion of the other little colonies...
But I do feel that I got shortchanged on the late 1800s and early 1900s...

Sneak sanctions! Sneak sanctions! yeah...like I'm really worried about U.N. sanctions...
To: g'nad
Well I certainly hope you aren't...

The six-foot sub his shop makes is more substantial than that (no pun intended!) - it'll serve up to 30 people! My other brother's bagpipe band ordered the first one - they had about twenty people there but couldn't finish it.
I'll be less worried about him in a year or so...they're still in the process of working out kinks and deciding on rules, hours, etc. He does all his venting with the family, so we get to hear about every problem that comes up. Sigh!

Your bro has more guts than me, starting his own business...I've had people tell me I need to open a micro-brewery, but I ain't interested in the business headaches... I just like to make good beer...
To: g'nad
Your bro has more guts than me, starting his own business...It's not something I would want to tackle either! But he's wanted his own business since he was about four...when we were little and we would get candy as a treat, he would save his until after we'd eaten ours and then sell it to us for nickels and dimes. When he got a little older he used to use his allowance for the same thing - he'd buy a package of mini Snickers bars or little toys or something and figure out how much he would have to sell them for to make a bit of profit. So he's been in training for awhile!

However, I wouldn't mind eventually getting a few music gigs on the side, if only in order to pay for my music habit...

Part-time businesses based on a hobby CAN be a good way to make a little spending money...
