RE: The Badass Woman Warrior Who Took Down Custer

in #history5 years ago

You sparked a couple of things, Janton, thank you. This reminds me of elementary school, it would’ve been 4th grade and 6th grade (not sure where i lived for 5th).

We played a game called crossfire—similar to dodgeball I guess but a little more dangerous since you had the opposing team both in front of and behind you. Anyhow, the teacher always depicted the two teams around me and an Indian girl, I even remember her name—Tanya Osuna. And, you know what? Each and every game, it always came down to me against her. She kicked every single persons butt on my team, boys, girls, didn’t matter. I remember a part of the rules was if you’d catch the opposing teams throws (10+ balls flying at all times) that person was out, had to go behind the opposing team and try to throw theirselves back into the game. Man, she always caught everything I threw at her. As hard as I could throw it, most the other kids couldn’t catch them, her, however, she never missed one.

Also, this one’s a funny one. On a job one time, I had an Indian Wireman on my crew from New Mexico. One day I asked him “what’s your tribe name?” He said “Walking Eagle.” I asked how he got that name and he told me “because I’m so full of Shi... I can’t fly!” Ha!! True #story.

Looking forward to this one, Janton, that was a fun read.

Howdy sir dandays! Those are great American Indian stories, wow! Both of those are great. Generally speaking they do have some fantastic characteristics. I remember reading an article years ago by a big time builder, he built skyscrapers and he always tried to find Indians in his field because they had superb balance and no fear of heights.

That Walking Eagle story is hilarious though! Was he serious or was that a joke?

You know, I’m not 100% certain to be honest with you, Janton, but that’s what he told me and I believed him. If it was a joke, I fell for it and have continued falling for it for approximately 9 years. The only reason I know how long it’s been is because the towers came down in New York not too long prior to meeting “Walking Eagle.” 👍🏿

@janton, how goes it this evening, sir? Eh, no rush, I’m kinda over @esteemapp at this point. My last two posts I avoided bothering you, like I repeatedly have to do in order to get their attention, and went through their discord server to get them to visit my page. But I’m kinda curious man—since you have a friend over there, what’s the deal with my specific account?

Every single food fighter, Pura’s first two times using their app, nobody every has a problem and the votes come through automatically—yours included.

Don’t worry about reminding whoever it is to vote my article this time, I’m tired of asking—it feels begging now, I’m over it. What I’d like to know is, what is it that got me on the ‘do not vote’ list? I’m curious to know. I’ve never typed a curse wOrd, I’ve never used an image outside Pixabay, Unsplash, or Pexels, you yourself know the bodies of my articles are nothing less than novel-size at times and all of my material is original-content. I’d just like to know who I pissed off and how—where’s the issue? Thanks man, take to you soon.

Say hello to the Mrs. for me and throw the ball for jack for me once, please. 👍🏿

Howdy sir dandays! Doin great this evening. Sweating my tail off but hey that's what it's like in Texas in the summertime. 110 degree heat factor. lol. Anyway, well I'm shocked but I'll find out because for some reason you're falling through the cracks.

I'll talk to my friend, she doesn't do the voting for your account and from what I understand it was a group that were doing them, mostly foreigners but that shouldn't matter at all. You're Mr. Original with the entire content except a few free images like you said.

I don't think it's personal and if it is they can set you up on an automatic vote like mine is. Even that isn't 100% but should be close. I'm glad you told me because something ain't right there. Of course, I can see why Puravida would go flying through, they probably saw one post and she's got the green light forever! lol.

I'll probably find out sometime tonight but it would be very late there but I'll still let you know.
