Maybe we need some peace marches.I love the pictures of communist country troops. No one is wearing glasses. Must be their superior peaceful eyesight? Just joking of course.

Easy of course. That many do not know some basic science is not surprising.

People adapt. A good feature. I remember my first factory job that began at 7 AM. The first few days it ate at me, but I did adjust. One summer I had a 5PM to 5AM shift. The money was good. I was able to buy my first car. The worst part was having no social life.

I don't know but we had a cat that got really upset (at least acting that way) whenever she saw our suitcases as we were packing for a trip. Likely she was just upset that we would not be there to give her food in the usual schedule. Any other cats we had never exhibited that behavior.

Interesting. Could work in MrsO's closet for all her high heel shoes.

Sad waste of talent and like all too many others. Imagine what might have been?

Our local library has a sign in front just like that. Spelling out L_I_B_R_A_R_Y of course.

My dear Grandmother used to scare the carp out of me saying that if I didn't behave she would give me to the ragman. When the ragman came down the street on his horse drawn wagon, I'd hide in the back yard. Wonder how grandmothers today scare their grandkids?

I recall reading somewhere that music is "stimulating" to folks with dementia. Maybe more study is needed on this.

Never was in combat in terrain like that, but I think if I saw that I'd fire a few rounds into it.

Don't forget the Brits and Canadians will go to the theatre on Labour Day. Love the English language.

How cool. I use their OS on my Mac.

[sarcasm]Thanks a lot![/sarcasm]

I taught high school for 32 years and I sometimes gave my students names. One guy named Sid became "Sid Vicious", a girl named Olivia Palm became "Olivia Newton-Palm" and so forth. The kids called me "Mister O" and when Kung Fu was on TV, I was "Master O". Fun times.

That's funny. I have identical twin 2 1/2 year old granddaughters and wonder if they are up to pulling tricks on their parents.
