Say what? The Beatles music was a reflection of what was already happening in society and also the changes the individuals in the band were going thru. If music had that much influence we could all go around singing hymns and patriotic songs and cure society, no?

Interesting thread! Some historical events I can remember very well, others not so much. I was alive when Kennedy was assassinated but too little to understand what was going on. But when Reagan got shot, that made an impact. Especially later when it came out how seriously injured he was...

With today's technology, they could have taken images of the real Col Sanders and done some kind of magic. I don't like the new guy. There isn't a KFC anywhere near where we live. When I was out doing some Christmas shopping last year, I thought, oh boy I'll get a bucket of chicken for...

Argh, we don't have Netflix and don't have enough data allowance to even think about subscribing. I have read one of the books, the first one in the series. It was pretty good but having seen the series first, I knew what was coming and the physical descriptions of the characters was quite a...

Hubby had steel pins removed from his femur that had been in there for 20 years when he had a hip replacement. The surgery was supposed to take 45 minutes, it was more like 4 hours. Dr. admitted he like to never got those pins out, they were a kind he had never encountered before. It's pretty...

Haven't pulled any ticks off the dogs yet. We have free range chickens running all over and it does seem to help. People say that guineas are even better against ticks but I don't think so. I did find a tick crawling on me but it hadn't bitten yet. I think I got it from standing in grass off...

Maybe it's just my warped sense of humor, but the Bruce Jenner deal makes me think of the world-class athletes he competed against in the Olympics. And now it's just a matter of time until someone says to them, neener neener neener, you got beat by a GIRL.

MIT used to be so well respected. But if I had a kid there, I would yank them and ask for my money back. Of all people, a scientist should know that correlation is not causation. Jo's graph illustrates that perfectly. Autism is the new ADD. Every other kid was diagnosed ADD for awhile...

Congratulations! What an exciting time. It must feel wonderful to have all those years of hard work and sacrifice bear fruit. Hopefully you don't have a mountain of student loans.

Herofan, you are ahead of the curve. Probably in the top 20% for savers. Depending how close you are to retirement age, you might want to invest some of that and try to grow it more on its own. Dave Ramsey's web site lists "endorsed local providers" for financial planners. It wouldn't hurt...

Sure seems like some people need to get a life.

Hard to believe even a PETA nut would do that. They caused suffering to those birds, which goes against what they supposedly stand for. Sounds like there is a lot of room for improvement in security at these farms, too. Hope they get caught and prosecuted to the max. The financial loss...

You got it.

I think abortion is going to be as divisive as the (not) Civil War. 150 years later, still strong feelings and no consensus. However it's the law of the land that a woman can legally have an abortion so you can opinionate all you want to but unless you actually have a uterus in working order...

Pure propaganda. Nobody named with any credentials, no research cited, yet they throw out all these fantastic claims. Wonder how widely read this is? Anybody's cows actually drink 23 gallons a day? Our water is metered and runs about 10 gallons per head per day.

Sure it's welfare. But it's for a good cause of being a better caretaker of the land. So if you want to be that intimate with gubmint in your business to get your piece of pie, go right ahead. Politicians are masters at selling us on spending other people's money, making it look like a great...

That was just profound....someone should make that their signature quote! No matter how important you think you are you cant stop water from going downhill.

Reminds me of a float trip. Around Bennett Springs my brilliant husband gets out in the middle of the river to get his photo taken on one of the bridge supports. Left me to hold the canoe in the current with basically my fingernails dug in to the concrete pillar.

Bite yer tongue! I don't see any Tarentaise characteristics in that critter. I can understand why the coloring might make someone think of Tarentaise, but the phenotype is all wrong.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but I hardly ever remember a dream any more. If I get woke up during a dream, I can remember some of it, but usually it fades away by the time I become fully awake. I used to get deja vu all the time when I was younger, but now I think my mind is...
