Producer George Martin selected this as the #1 song which he felt truly showed what musical geniuses the Beatles were:

Peter, Paul and Mary - "Where Have All The Flowers Gone"

I was born and raised in Chicago's worst ghetto. The majority of crimes by Black Americans are committed against other Black Americans.

"You can love someone enough to marry him - but you have to like him to live with him." - Best advice from my mom, who had 5 marriages.

A strong consideration in our purchase of our current car (2017 Ford Edge Sport) was the dealership, in addition to the car itself. One reason we stopped buying the Honda/Acura line was that those dealers in our region are notorious for poor work and high costs. We used an independent who only...

I rarely watch TV except for a couple of pro sports. But I will binge just a few series I either liked before, or was recommended by my spouse (who knows what I like after 50 yrs together, LOL): - Lucifer. I watched the first couple of seasons when it first came out and liked it, but life got...

It is, unfortunately, the cost of doing business in a HCOL area that is world-renowned for its excellent restaurants. There is a reason why there are more Michelin-starred restaurants in CA - and mostly in NorCA, btw - than any other city except NYC, in the U.S. Apologize if this is not a free...

Will never/have no interest in: - Go on a cruise again. - Flying anywhere. 1) Went on cruise to Alaska and was bored stiff. Gorgeous scenery, but we live in an area with some of the finest and most varied scenery in the world - Northern CA - so except for the calving of the Humboldt Glacier...

Sadly, another instance of bad officiating kept them out of the conference championship. It's ridiculous for the multi-multi-multi-billion $$$$$$ NFL to be using part-time officials. They are the ONLY professional sports league in the world that uses part-time refs.

Interesting! His looks are very androgynous, in a different style but same effect as David Bowie. He definitely has his mom's coloring and nose, but his bone structure is amazing. He will still be good-looking at age 75.

Satin-edged blankets are still made by many mfgs, and still are sold. You can find them on-line easily with a Google search: "satin-edge blankets" and you'll find dozens of them, in various fabrics.

CA is a community property state. We share accounts except in a couple of cases where it was more convenient to hold the account in one person's name rather than both.

Hmm, I thought I had posted this here, but I guess not as I couldn't find it. Anyhoo, here it is: Dementia Comes in Many Forms. Alzheimer’s Is Just One. NYTime December 2025 FYI: There are many types of dementia, with over 50 diseases causing it, but the four main categories are Alzheimer's...
