    Will we eventually know why?

    I just saw another article that said he was tried on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, reckless endangerment, terrorizing, and using a firearm in a violent felony. He apparently drove a vehicle at seven children at high speeds and nearly hit them, and assaulted a person with a 9mm...

    Virginia Repeals The Death Penalty

    I live in the reddest of the red states and as a state we have never had capital punishment (it was banned in the territory in 1957 before we became a state in 1959). In the early 1990's some lawmakers tried to establish a state death penalty, but they were unsuccessful. And I am also the...

    Another great one gone. Sean Connery dead at 90.

    I adored Sean Connery. He wasn't my favorite James Bond (I preferred Roger Moore) but I loved him in all the other movies I saw him in, beginning with Darby O'Gill & the Little People when I was a kid.

    Not sure what can happen here.

    Oh, absolutely agreed but I focused on women because that was the case presented by the OP. In my line of work I train for all types harassment and it's always emphasized that it applies to everyone. I'm not a germophobe but I generally dislike unwanted touching as well. Suffice it to say, I am...

    Not sure what can happen here.

    I think those who are trying to minimize this by saying "he just gave her a hug" are being rather naïve. And also the comment about praying that she "ever" (I assume you meant never) has to face a challenged child is, I think, rather unfair to the young woman. Even if a man has a childlike mind...

    For Army Judge...<3

    My husband & I love the old Looney Toons we grew up with, occasionally when there's nothing else on the million channels we get with our cable package, we'll turn on a cartoon channel and watch some of those. We both also have really fond memories of watching The Flintstones and The Jetsons...

    For Army Judge...<3

    I raised my kids in the era of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers. We also got a Canadian t.v. station here that carried some great children's programming. Once the grands came along, they fortunately weren't into Barney. They did watch Blues Clues some when they were at my house but never enough for...

    Are you contemplating relocations?

    Alaska does not have a state sales tax or state income tax. However, many cities do have fairly high local sales taxes. In my location it is currently 6.5%. When we turn 65 we can apply for a tax exempt card for sales taxes and also a reduction in property taxes. (There's gotta be some perks...

    RIP: Helen Reddy: ‘I Am Woman’ Hitmaker & Feminist Icon Dead at 78

    I just saw that one as well. I didn't always like the songs he wrote for others, but I liked his voice when he sang himself, and I thought he was pretty cute back in the day, too - he was one of my celebrity crushes! He always came across as a nice guy in his personal life. 2020 has taken...

    RIP: Helen Reddy: ‘I Am Woman’ Hitmaker & Feminist Icon Dead at 78

    Aw, that's sad. I always liked her - I Am Woman came out when I was about 17 and was omnipresent on the radio during my younger years. It resonated with me as I grew through the bumps, setbacks, and roadblocks in my life and became a strong, independent woman raising my children and establishing...

    Joke

    God: Gabriel, have you finished setting up future events for the 2020s? Gabriel: Yes, God, I hav - wait, did you say 2020s plural? As in the decade? God: Of course, what else? Gabriel: I thought you meant 2020 the year God: You put a decade's worth of history in one year? Gabriel: ….yes...

    name change for step-daughter

    I'm not defending anyone, but I have to say, simply not being there doesn't automatically cause a child to hate an absentee parent. I know this from personal experience. My older son didn't know his biological father, our marriage broke up when he was an infant and he moved away and never saw...

    Joke

    A priest, a rabbit and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender asks the rabbit "what'll ya have?" The rabbit says "I dunno. I'm only here because of Autocorrect."

    Woman Urinates On Floor After Refusing To Leave Verizon Store For Not Wearing Mask

    One I saw that really got me was the middle-aged woman who deliberately coughed in the face of a small child in a stroller because the child's mother asked her to back up to a proper social distance. I cannot fathom what would make you think that it was all right to do that to anyone, much less...

    Human sized bats spotted in the P. I.

    We have tiny little bats here, kind of like flying field mice. They are adorable. However...I don't know how I'd feel running into a bat that size, even knowing it was harmless.
