I'm all confused as to how to be added to the map, but how do we get in touch with people from the map? There's a fellow Canalien in Lubbock!

I figured out the map, but unfortunately the username isn't a match to anything on the forums, however I did find them under the other name.

Krikit, you have no idea how exciting it is to find a fellow Canadian in Lubbock. It's like the end of the earth- I constantly feel like I'm on another planet. Ever heard of the southern term for brazil nuts? Google it with mind safe turned off.

If you look at the label when you click on someones place marker, it has a google ID. If you want to take a shot in the dark Galateia, you could try and use that google ID and just @gmail.com at the end and send them an email.

Scratch that, that won't work. I just tried it out on myself and it leads me to a wrong email address

The "southern term" for brazil nuts is the same name I heard them called back in Canada from lots of people.

Yeah, I used to hear that term (here in Canada) - when I was a child, but not lately or in the last several years even, I hope no one is still using it in 2010??

My coworkers had no idea what I was talking about when I said "brazil nuts" until I described them and they went "Ohh! You mean X!! Is that what they're actually called? Really?"

I don't understand. Doesn't their google-maps name match their VJ name? Are you referring to Jo&Si?

Look it up on wikipedia Krikit. It is quite offensive, the name is "___________ Toes". I'd say it, but that is a word that just makes my skin crawl.

The name that is on each tag on the map is a reference to a profile. I think it would only work if someone had set up their profile. I tried to test it out and just use my profile that was in there, and it was clearly not my email address, so I don't know how to do it properly.

[Krikit 1,164]

Oh.

I've never heard that term before. I'm happy for that.

just wiki'd it ......

I know. Stuff like this happens daily and makes my hair curl. I screenshotted a racial slur put into the department chat today and I'm going to take it to HR next week after I talk to the guy's manager. He just up and said it right in the chat, for everyone to see.

Yep, it's Jo & Si and I just used the PM on here.

For something like that, you might want to go straight to HR. If he felt comfortable enough to say it so publicly, there might be an environment that allows him to. Meaning if you go to his supervisor, who is likeminded, they may preemptively try to discredit you. I had a friend who worked for an insurance company in Mississippi several years ago who reported an employee to his supervisor for constantly using a racial slur for asians. When he went to HR to follow up, the woman in HR was already aware of her trying to start problems within the company and spreading false rumors. #######.
