Sometimes I think I live in the past, too much. The music is what I listened to on AFVN while over there.

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight…

This song is for our fallen soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. It has nothing to do with our theme today, but everything to do with remembering our veterans.

I hope you will all listen to the 24 notes in memory of the fallen.

KT, I’d rather owe you then beat you out of it. I’d also love to buy you one and visit with you, my friend.

Troll Tricks

Brodie, I think you are right about the accounts. There can’t be that many people who are so prejudice. On second thought maybe there can be. I ran into one playing cribbage last night with seniors. She said PBO was a poor leader. One rule at the senior center is no politics, so I said the President was an extraordinary leader and left it like that.

Brodie, that was the perfect answer to a troll. Kill them with kindness! Show them you are better than they are without flaunting it.

Very interesting clip, Monica. Thanks.

Chica, I could only read a little of the letter before I was so disgusted and ANGRY! This is the kind of thing that jerks with tiny hearts and no conscience do. MLK was a wonderful loving man and deserved better.

PPO, I agree. If they want to discuss our differences that is one thing, but to intrude just to disrupt the Planet. NO! Banish them forever!

» Posted By Nirek On November 13, 2014 @ 5:21 am

Kes, we have had a few trolls come to the Planet but they don’t stick around long when their agenda gets exposed. I do remember lots of trolls at Huffpo.

It’s Veterans Day Today – Please Remember Our Vets

I am not often emotional unless it is about my family. But one of my wounds from Vietnam is memory. My memories do make me emotional on a few occasions. Veterans Day brings a flood of memories to my mind. At the parade I welled up with pride, my grandson carried the State flag and my granddaughter played the sax in the school band.

After the parade the bands played more and speakers spoke. Then two buglers one near and one far away on the steps of the library played Taps. One echoed the other and tears rolled down my cheeks. That song always has this effect on me.

Kalima, this is one of many reasons I love the Planet. You and AdLib and the other founders have kept this place not only civil, but respectful.
Thank you
Peace

Kes, you never have to apologize for being late. We all have lives we are living and are busy doing other things. Some times I am off doing something when a comment is made to me.
Kes, you are such a good person and I respect you and your opinion so much, it’s worth waiting for.
Peace

Ex, your 5 lucky guys are very lucky to have you. Thank you for treating them nicely !

» Posted By Nirek On November 11, 2014 @ 4:08 pm

Ad, the vets are special people. Regular people are special in their own way and I respect those who choose not to serve in the military. I didn’t want to myself. But the vets deserve better than they are getting from the congress. The GOP has blocked any help for the very people who they sent into harms way! I better get off my soap box.

Monica, thank you. I intended to say all those things and just rushed with the piece. I thought more could be said in the comments and it is happening. You have a way with words. Peace is indeed what we veterans pray for.

» Posted By Nirek On November 11, 2014 @ 12:05 pm

Ex, thank you for all you do for my fellow veterans.

Hugs to you from this old man.
Peace.

Too Big To Fail Still Irks Me

Obviously we think alike, Monica. Raygun had the trickle down theory which amounts to us little people getting pissed on. Corporations and businesses can’t earn a cent without customers. Banks would not be without people taking loans and writing checks and such. It all starts with the regular citizen buying a house or some product. That is why I call it trickle up.

Monica, Bernie is fighting hard on behalf of all Americans. He may run in the primaries but I believe it will be to get into the debates and spread his opinion on inequality of wealth. He tells the truth as opposed to so many other politicians. It will be enjoyable to hear him in the debates. He will not let the others get away with their lies.

CL, if the bailout had been of the home owners it would have save the banks, too.
By bailing out the banks there were many homes repossessed and some of those are now abandoned.

This was done in the trickle down theory instead of my theory of trickle up!
