I'm learning a ton of great stuff. <br /><br />I do have one minor correction regarding your post, however. Texas was a sovereign nation for nearly ten years (March 2, 1836 until annexation by the US on December 29, 1845). <br /><br />As an aside, it was President Tyler who succeeded in getting Congress to pass a joint resolution admitting Texas to the Union on February 28, 1845. He signed it into law on March 1, 1845, just three days before the end of his term (thereby stealing President Polk's thunder, whom he disliked immensely). <br /><br />Thanks again for all the wonderful information!Jaime Y Los Gatos Del Nortenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-80567799604547780062009-04-29T16:16:00.000-05:002009-04-29T16:16:00.000-05:00May I please have your permission to quote you on ...May I please have your permission to quote you on MySpace and link back to your blog. I have over 16,000 friends on MySpace and my music site gets wide circulation among young people. <br />It embarrasses me that so many of our young people it is Mexican independence day when we are celebrating May 5th. <br />Recently some new arrivals from Mexico asked me what May 5th was they had never heard of it! Americans complain that we celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Mexico doesn't celebrate the 4th of July. People need to know that the US did not have a massive alcohol consumption day between March and July and May 5th fit in perfectly. I don't think it is a celebration of Mexican heritage but an exploitation of the culture it represents. I get burn every time I see a beer commercial this time of year. <br />Please let me know. <br />losille@cfmmusicscene.com<br />Thank you, <br />Rosalita MoogCFM Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144751817895977783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-48898931002647470742009-03-25T11:56:00.000-06:002009-03-25T11:56:00.000-06:00Large companies making beers for a living, must al...Large companies making beers for a living, must also consider the fact that alcohol isn't good for the health of their customers. In fact in the recent years, many people have become addicted to alcohol. This dilemma adds more serious issues to the families and friends of the loved one with alcohol problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-46316895774770247992008-11-08T09:42:00.000-06:002008-11-08T09:42:00.000-06:00Good for you, Juliet!

I've been listening to "Los Lonely Boys" and getting off on my inner chicana... which takes imagination for this celtic type housewife.
