Message: [QUOTE="Striper69, post: 2181669, member: 4267"] My post has everything to do with what might be happening with her (though I pray it's not). It's certainly not silly or ridiculous. I know first hand what could and does happen to people on indian reservations. I, in fact, am a tribal member of the reservation I was speaking of. The manner in which the guy I was describing is exactly how a lot of the people (male and female) behave on these "reservations". I was looking for deer antlers last spring and parked in the cemetery of that reservation and saw some guys digging a grave. I went up and asked them who they were digging it for. A guy told me that it was for a guy (38 years old) who had died of liver disease fro drinking. Last April I found out that a cousin I was very fond of had died a slow and painful death of the same disease. She was living in Seattle and had her family ship her body back to the same cemetery to be buried. There's a very hot issue going on right now in the courts about how establishments in a Nebraska town close to the Pine Ridge Sioux reservation in South Dakota are able to sell alcohol to addicted members of that tribe. Hopefully she doesn't have a drinking problem but finds a way to keep her weight and fitness under control. [/QUOTE]
