On a sad note. IMHO, many folks ONLY watch the news sources that reinforce their beliefs. And they accept that as (in courtroom jargon) "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth- - ". Sometimes what they are listening to is far from it. I'm probably guilty of it myself at times. :(

In their 60's ? That would be our kids classes. My graduation year was 1951 and my wife's in '54. LOL

Retired back in 1990 or '91 - -forget which. Enjoyed my career as a Highway Construction Engineer but never looked back once I retired. Time spent with wife and family was far superior to the daily job which did provide us with an income and comfortable retirement. During that time, we found...

And the service member deaths and casualties for our Israeli allies? I would assume that they would be taking the brunt of the battles as it's their homeland involved in this "war". not ours.

Had them quite often when I was younger and they were miserable. Didn't do much but hope they'd go away eventually without any "treatment". Oddly, at some age (forget when) they just stopped happening.

Hi there, DB. Welcome aboard. Hope that you enjoy the site !

My dad and his brother were in France during WW1 and participated in that 'over the top" nightmare. Interesting though that one of his clearest memories were the planes that flew overhead from time to time. Planes were relatively scarce at that time and he said even the German soldiers would...

Have a good one, Frank !!

My last post regarding our good fortune is the fact that of our whole extended family, all live within a two hour drive from our home with the exception of one grandson and his wife. They reside on the west coast but still maintain connections to the rest of the family . They fly East every...

At present we have 13 grandkids and 15 great grands.

I should have posted - - -my wife's name is Jacqueline or "Jacquie" to me for all of these years. :)

For my wife and I - - Our 70th Wedding Anniversary. We met on a blind date back in 1953. I was in the Coast Guard and she was still in High School. We dated for 1 -1/2 years, became engaged and on Feb. 25, 1956 were married. Had our first of 4 children in Feb. of the following year and here...

You are correct regarding what you do in your own home or any other PRIVATE location but do the rest of us a favor and stay off the highways while drunk or stoned. I'm not ready to forgive anyone who kills or maims someone in my family if that person knowingly becomes unfit to drive due to...
