I would proudly wear that shirt in honor of our loyal and distinguished neighbor. Glad you had fun!

Mine is an extra large, which is somehow remarkably...fitting. Ha! Hope you had a great birthday and thanks for the consistent support here.

Would proudly wear that shirt! So happy you have such a wonderful family!

You might just see me in mine sometime soon, Nancy. And I'm happy to loan it out. It's big enough that you could wear it as a dress! Thanks for the comment.

Perfect..... I know that family pretty well.... Mighty proud to do so....❤❤❤

Right back at you, Barry. And I just have to note here that yours is the third comment in a row to use the word "proud." How 'bout that?! ☺️

Yes!!! I just checked and for the first time, I see that Google Maps has changed what Australians see as well! It says 'Lake Ontario (Lake America)' !!!!!

So I have lodged this Issue Report:

'I'm in Australia and was just checking out a map to see where a friend is and I saw this!

This body of water is Lake Ontario and has been since 1656.

No single person has a right to change somebody else's property name. Or perhaps we do!!! If so, please change the United States of America to 'USA (South Canada)'.

Yours respectfully.'

You are awesome, Beth.

On a recent Reddit thread, someone asked "How would one send a meaningful message to Google to protest their spineless renaming of Lake Ontario on Maps?" The smartest reply I saw started like this:

"Change who the President is by voting."

Thanks for your enthusiastic support in opposition to this madness!

I love that he bought a variety of different designs, too. Cool big brother!

He's a sharp one, for sure. We've never been a matching t-shirt kind of family, but we happily changed the game together. Thanks for stopping by, Don. Hope the knee is doing well.

Glad your family is big on geography. Lol. 😂 He was really on it to do that for this gathering.

Elizabeth Beggins's avatar

It was unexpected but also very much in character for him. I'm wearing mine to the farmers market today! 😅

I reported Apple Maps ‘ changing the name of Lake Ontario , and , on my maps app at least , it says Lake Ontario . Sigh . This regime will end - soon , I hope

Elizabeth Beggins's avatar

I'm glad you reported it, Melody. I'm not sure what to think about the response. That it's so easy, and they'll change it based on an individual report seems to just reinforce how very much we are the product. ::SIGH!!:: Onward! And thank you.

Thank you! I know he's excited to see everyone and meet the new little one.
