@Nickyshearsby22 Diggin’ up dead folk … aka genealogy. I’ll write my family histories soon. We simply can’t make this stuff up. My 3rd g-grandmother was a freed LA slave. No one knew ‘til I dug up the stories.
A funny and true story about the late Queen:
Around 2005, the Queen and her Personal Protection Officer, Dick Griffin, were walking alone one afternoon in the hills near the Scottish royal castle, Balmoral.
Two tourists approached them, and engaged in conversation. Griffin recalls:
“There were two hikers coming towards us, and the Queen would always stop and say hello.
"They were two Americans on a walking holiday.
"It was clear from the moment we stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen, which was fine.
"The American gentleman was telling the Queen where they came from, where they were going next, and where they'd been in Britain.
"I could see it coming, and sure enough, he said to Her Majesty: 'And where do you live?'
"She replied: 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills.'
"He said: 'How long have you been coming up here?'
"She replied: 'I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so over 80 years.'
"You could see the cogs whirring, so he said: 'Well, if you've been coming up here for over 80 years, you must have met the Queen.'
"Quick as a flash, she said: 'I haven't, but Dick here meets her regularly.'
The hiker then asked Griffin what the monarch was like in person.
"Because I was with her a long time, and I knew I could pull her leg, I said: 'Oh, she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour.'
The next thing I knew, this guy comes round, puts his arm around my shoulder, and before I could see what was happening, he gets his camera, GIVES IT TO THE QUEEN, and says: 'Can you take a picture of the two of us?'
"Then we swapped places, and I TOOK A PICTURE OF THEM WITH THE QUEEN.
"And we never let on, and we waved goodbye.
"Afterwards, Her Majesty said to me: 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to his friends in America, and hopefully someone tells him who I am'."
❤️The World Misses You Greatly
Rest in Peace Your Majesty ❤️

LaVonte Dell was recently pulled over, writing on his Facebook page:
"Yesterday I was pulled over in Westland for my window tint.
This stop was nothin like I thought it would be. He got my s—t and was walking back to the car and seen my daughter wasn’t in a car seat. So he asked me to get out and speak with him.
He asked why didn’t she have one and I told him all I been thru this year like I barely making it because of these garnishments and I really don’t like asking people for (stuff).
Do you know this white police officer told me to follow him to Walmart on Ford road and he purchased my daughter a car seat with his own money. If you would have seen us in Walmart u would have thought we were best friends. It was like night and day.
U got me hella tats walkin side by side with a white officer Westland at that. I’ve been calling all day trying to get his name because I was so in shock. I didn’t even look at his name tag.
Never judge a book by it’s cover it’s most def is some good guys left. I told him I never met a officer like u.
He said I’m just doing my job what good would giving u a ticket do besides putting u further in the hole making it harder on you to come up."
Westward Police Department posted shortly thereafter.
"The Westland Police Department would like to express how proud we are of the officer responsible, Officer Joshua Scaglione.
We would also like to thank the driver, LaVonte Dell for coming forward and sharing this experience with us.
In a world filled with negative stories, the fact that you shared yours has had an unbelievably positive impact on all of us.
Thank you."
