Harrisburg's site is thought to have been inhabited by Native Americans as early as 3000 BC. The first European contact with Native Americans in Pennsylvania was made by the Englishman, Captain John Smith, who journeyed from Virginia here in 1608 and visited with the local tribe. In 1719, In 1785, John Harris, Jr. made plans to lay out a town on his father's land, which he named Harrisburg.

Women’s rest rooms have stalls with doors around here The men’s room difference is the urinal. Many of our restrooms around here in liblic business resemble a powder room. As many have pointed out airplanes, portapots etc have no problems. It’s not like the two holer gramps had !!!!
Do you happen to have a link for that latest poll? Just to keep handy. TIA :)
0.3 percent as transgender.
That’s 99.7% who have to change their lives to accommodate that 0.3%. And not because they can’t use the bathroom but they might be uncomfortable in the bathroom of the gender they’ve mutilated their body to join.
weston, you are so right about social issues this is something that is in a persons heart, should be done with faith based organizations!!! I want our borders SEALED, I want our jobs BACK in THIS country, not just service jobs, I WANT PC DESTROYED!!! I am so SICK TO DEATH of having to watch EVERY DAMNED word spoken, what the hell happened to freedom of speech!!! AMERICANS have had ENOUGH already!!! These BASTARDS are taxing us beyond belief and telling us how to live EVERY aspect of our lives!!!! I LOVE Trump he has the balls to defy what has been crammed down our throats!!!
Why, dear nopardons, it’s not POSSIBLE that you miss EVERYTHING, because I see you EVERYWHERE!! ;)
Just WOW
Wooooo wooooOOOOOOt
It is so nice and I’m sure comforting to the families when you place flowers or simply visit their loved ones. My parents are in the National Memorial Cemetery in Phoenix. I try to go at least once a year and always order a Christmas Wreath from Wreaths Across America. I also have a cousin there who puts flowers for me as the seasons or holidays change. My brothers name is in the wall. It is terribly emotional when I go there. He was a very proud Marine. So many names. So many lives lost. I miss him everyday.
Thank you so much....very much appreciated.
What a nice 80th birthday present for you....to have family drive to you to celebrate your big day. Which month is the big day?
Wow at the California pole.
Maybe 1400 is more in play than I thought. Woot!
Trump just clarified the transgender thing on Hannity. Said NC punished for that law but if they want that, fine. He said that should be determined on a local level, too many big issue on the federal level.
*** It’s not like the two holer gramps had !!!! ***
It wasn’t just Gramps. I think all my relatives in the boonies had those. The sophisticated ones had Sears catalogues formed into a circle with the top of the pages folded down at an angle. I think some had buckets with corn cobs in them.
I remember once my Grandma dropped a turquoise and silver ring in one..luckily, back then, retrieving such things was a man’s job.
Yikes, glad I checked this before posting Auto Correct had changed corn cobs to corn dogs. Who’d wanna use a bucket of corn dogs for clean up?
It’s only a matter of time. Cruz should start thinking about his exit.

I wonder how many tranny’s have been in the stall near me, in Houston malls/theatres, etc.
Since they make up only .3% of the population...hopefully not many. Who’s to know, in reality?
In NY and in Europe, there are individual stalls - with high wall/doors - that are unisex. Then there are common sinks, for all. It took a little getting used to, I’ll have to say.
Perfect!! Thanks $1M :-)
My eyes go limp this time of the evening so I miss many auto noncorrects
Fortunately with my slight dyslexia I usually read them as thought not written
The problem with someone like Target saying either is ok is the opening for perverts and pedophiles to go in the women’s bathroom.
And why the hell can’t a person use the bathroom of the gender THEY PICKED?
Heh. ;-) Trump must have read my post about keeping nuisance perv ordinances at local level. I’d say keep it close... with the towns and counties to decide.
Trump team NEEDS to put the Trump supporters on ballot out on twitter and FB!!!
