QUESTION ONE-- How do I get my bride to give up
tennis five days a week with friends in Wilmington and easy acess to US
bound family?

hmm...sounds more like a reason to go than to stay. perhaps a few of
your "close" friends could assist in persuading Dene of the substantial
benefits of residence in New Zealand. g also, knowing Dene, she'll
have numerous friends and plenty of tennis opportunities in a more
favorable and enjoyable climate than Wilmington - without all the
bulging population and traffic problems.



Didigal camera--now that prices are under 200$ thinking of replacing my
sinkable OLYMPUS --would like to have micro option to use copying pages
from books etc ant to take pictures when Jeff cathes a fish--Dave Lewis the
camera whiz on FF@ suggest the new 5 mb olumpis--help and suggestions
needed

5 MB is probably overkill for use on the stream unless you're planning
on printing poster size photos - and I don't think the 5 MB cameras are
below 200 yet (though there may be some). I have the Olympus 300, water
resistant. It's fine for most uses, but the controls on the back are a
bit tiny. Invest in a bigger memory card than you typically get with
the camera - a 64k at minimum, 128k is better - so you can take and
store more pictures on those long trips when you are unable to download
the photos to a computer.


Questin Three-- What is a REAL indian ???? Goverment has a rule--creek
indian association has a rule---census bureau has a rule ---was thinking of
answering Font when he said I was not a real indian but was reminded of a
boss many years ago when i tried to get some attention by verbulizations--he
said " I would not lower myself by arguring with you."


You've indicated you have some part indian ancestry and, from my
personal observation and experience, you are most definitely real. good
enough for me and probably most others of reasonable or normal disposition.

Well, I dunno about reasonable or normal disposition, but as far as I'm
concerned anyone that's as quick a study on the ol' peace pipe can call
himself Injun anytime!

He can call himself whatever the hell he wants but unless
Indians have taken to wearing hoods and sheets the so-called
"Indian Joe" ain't no Indian.

Perhaps he was just trying to pass at the time?

Reasonable and normal doesn't include apologia for racists.
You were there and know that he doesn't limit his racial
slurs to Native American women.

I'm not apologizing for anyone - god knows if I was to apologize for everyone
that uses racial slurs it'd be more than a full time job.

But, in truth, I don't remember hearing IJ speak disparagingly about anyone,
"impolite" vernacular notwithstanding...

Well, the 'N' word and the 'S' word are both disparaging
enough for me, "vernacular" notwithstanding. I think the
so-called "Indian Joe" is a full of **** piece of ****.
You can reasonably disagree with piece of ****, but if
you're really calling it as you see it, I don't know how
you could honestly disagree with full of ****.

And yeah, take it or leave it.

IJ seems like an OK guy to me, even though I sense he doesn't like me
very much. :-)
