Madison County Yellowbone

The Madison County Yellowbones, also called the London Ohio Yellowbones, are a group of multigenerationally mixed race extended families descended from escaped and freed slaves, Free People Of Color, early Black arrivals to Ohio, Amish settlers of Ohio, Appalachian Scots-Irish frontiersmen coming into Ohio when Ohio was part of the northwest territory, and in some families likely distant Native American ancestors from various tribes of the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Appalachian, and Midwestern regions of the USA, depending on the family.
If you are a Madison County Yellowbone descendant, your relatives likely had one of a short list of last names by the 1990s, which includes Napper, Whitelow, Whitehead, Whited, Whiteside, McCoy, Miller, and other surnames recorded in these families in 1991. You may have ancestors who fought as Black Union Army soldiers during the American Civil War and likely have relatives who identify as Black but has blue eyes or has red or blonde natural highlights despite having an afro hair type. Many Madison County Yellowbone descendants have been adopting the term Qarsherskiyan as a self identification or endonym, and it was their community that coined the term for them, Darke County Yellowbones, and Tidewater Creole communities back in 1991, beginning to use the term online as the term began catching on by late 2019.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
