Definitely, although I donāt think we called it Alzheimerās thenā¦just age dementia. Nancy was the main one covering up and making a lot of the decisionsā¦with the help of her personal astrologer.

Definitely, although I donāt think we called it Alzheimerās thenā¦just age dementia. Nancy was the main one covering up and making a lot of the decisionsā¦with the help of her personal astrologer.
This made my day. Had to read all the way to the end to find out the final outcome.
I know they covered up Reagan having Alzheimerās for most, if not all, of his 2nd term.
Greatest Generation. Like all kids, there were things I didnāt agree with (like he was heavy handed with punishment) and he was somewhat distant as a parent, but he was a true patriot and good human being. He gave money and time to charities after he retired. Took care of neighbors anonymously.
He was an instructor at the time. The CO told him to take the day to study. He told the CO that if he couldnāt pass the exam, he shouldnāt be teaching. They were the tech experts of the AF. Later, the Master Sergeant ranks were created to replace the WO rank.
And there was 1 time when they caught a 12 year old girl planted mines outside the front gate. The base commander was off base and he was the highest rank at CWO-4. He had to order her shot. That one was really hard on him.
The only thing Dad talked about concerning Vietnam was there was 1 time the base was being mortared and everyone went to bunkers. 2 hours after the mortaring stopped, he was bored and left the bunker to check on āhisā planes and the base. He was offered an award, which he turned down. 1/2
There were only 5500 ever in the AF. 4400 warranted in November of 1955 and the other 1100 in January of 1956. Dad was in the 2nd group, which wasnāt bad considering he was forced to sign up by his CO the day before the test and there were 55,000 total test takers. Iām the result of the celebration

I still want to know who the first were. Genesis says he created man and woman in his image, then he created Eden, then Adam, then Eve. So who were the ones created in his image BEFORE Adam and Eve?
Or a real medical report to prove he is still alive.
Wait! He can afford personal security but he canāt pay his judgements?
I have 4 cats. Not just hair, but litter dust all over. Self emptying Shark auto vacuum is a must. I have it run once a day and occasionally run it another time if there has been hard play while Iām at work.
I Vietnam, he was chief of maintenance on the U-2s and lightening bugs. He and his crew had air conditioned trailers and the base commander didnāt. He sent the planes out overnight to gather film footage. He removed it when they returned in the AM and drove it to Saigon, then back to sleep.
He didnāt talk much about his service. I know he was on 35 missions over Germany in a B-17. I know one of the planes caught āack-ackā and coasted into Belgium and he āmade it to the coastā and back to England. I know that of the original 240 in his squadron, he was the only one to come back.
It wasnāt bad. One thing that was different was the rank (WO-1 to CWO-4 in the Air Force) got 5% per year over 20 instead of the 2.5% the others got. When he retired, the rank was no longer available, so the retirement pay was equal to an officer. He retired at 95% active duty pay of a major.
50 years ago š±
He couldnāt go over 30 because of his rankā¦or his retirement would drop to buck Sergeant. He spanned from WWII to Vietnam.
I missed Louisiana. Dad was in for 29, but he had some long assignmentsā¦like 9 years at the base in Illinois (he was an instructor). Mom, as a service memberās wife, always voted in Illinois, her home state, until they retired in Texas, then she registered there.
Does that mean they also ban nuns habits? Do the ban wearing a scarf during mass (I know it is no longer required, but many older Catholics still do this)?
Not just overseas military. Every service member has a ābase of homeā that is where they vote, unless they choose to register for each reassignment. My Dad voted in Texas while stationed in Illinois, Colorado, ND, FL, England, Panama, France, Trinidad and Vietnam.
I have a visitor on my back porch. Sheās a Vine Sphinx Moth. I think sheās using my covered porch to get out of an incoming storm.
Plus, sourdough was around LONG before plain white bread. Itās not woke! White bread is wokeā¦all the flavor and nutrients missingā¦just like the Republican Party now.
Just because you canāt or donāt see them, it doesnāt mean they arenāt real.
I would bet Stephen Miller rather than Elon
I just hope that no former presidents or First Ladies go to the funeral.
Murmurations are so cool.
šØš„š„š„šØ Truth to power! 1/2
Love this and love the philosophy of losing oneself to find oneself.
He is dyingā¦but we may have to wait a bit more to celebrate the dead part.
WFT? Texas plates on a vehicle kidnapping a guy in DC?
RIP Angelina. š run free and healthy beautiful girl š
I want to know where I can get a jacket just like that one!
We knew this was coming.
Beauty!!ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Every church that wants reasonable gun control measures should hold vocal prayer services this weekend to pray for gun control. Live stream all over the internet and see if it makes any difference to the Congress and state legislatures.
And welcoming foreigners!
There is always āsomeoneā they are looking for that fits their description.
This is the funniest video I've seen today... šš š¤£ #cat #catday #bluesky #animals
Yea! I qualify, too. Iām an old broadā¦LOL

In 1978, I became an assistant manager of a local DQ. I was salaried at $600/month. The men, I found out, were making $1300. I asked the district manager about making the same as the men and was told that they had families to support. I pointed out I was a single Mom and was told to find a husband.
Here's what's happening: They are trying to end elections. Are you hearing this? Nothing is more important in this singular moment than the fact that you are about to lose your freedom. You are about to lose the right to dissent. You are about to lose your right to vote. !FIGHT BACK!
Border Collie
Damn! 7+ pounds of frog!!
Rocky Horror is 50 this year.
Amazing
Hummmmmmā¦well I guess Iāll get another one in a few months then. This one kicked my butt, though. About 24 hrs after I got it, every joint got inflamed. Never happened before, but I could hardly move for 24 hours. Couldnāt even hold the handle of a mug because my finger joints were swollen.
My insurance renews in October. Medicare I have Part A and B only. My insurance is through work and paid 100% by my employer.
Iāll take āThings that never happenedā for $1000.
2 kittens are always better than one. They keep each other company and have a playmate.
Way to go Iowa!!!
I got mine at CVS a couple of weeks ago. Zero co-pay with insurance or Medicare (I have both).
Kim had his own sister assassinated.
Exactly right!
Yepā¦must have the application postmarked 30 days out from the election. Or better yet, take it to the voter registrarās office.
My family goes back to pre-Civil War in central Illinois. Great grandfather was in Wilderās Brigade.
I havenāt looked at the last decade or so. Most of my family have moved away or passed awayā¦ more the latter. I have seriously considered moving back there from Texas. I miss the fields and open space. Thinking Champaign/Urbana area because it is more progressive, but less costly than Cook County.
They are also strongly independent. They donāt like the government interfering in their business.
Historically, yes. In Illinois Cook County has gone blue and the rest of the state red. Given that the southern part of the state is mostly agricultureā¦soy beans and corn for the most partā¦and the tariffs are causing them to lose sales, that may change. Many are regretting their votes.
Thank goodness there is some sanity left in the judiciary.
I am well aware of the NG. The point is to try to get ahead of trump. The NG is frequently used for natural disasters and since I havenāt heard of any in Illinois atm, I was just coming up with an alternate reasonā¦and one that has been brought on my trump, BTW.
You know this is going downhill fast when I agree with Rand Paul.
That is part of the reason they donāt refer to themselves as ādrivers.ā They are operators because they do more than just drive the bus.
šØšØšØ This. More of this.
Thatās sad. My kids used to love to go to the library and sit for hours reading different books, very quietly, until time to go and they would check out 2 or 3 to read for the rest of the week.
Maybe, but also reasonable given the circumstances. I remember working the fields and bailing hay in central Illinois as a kid. Back then, most were long time farmers and every farm in the area came together at bailing time and picking time. I donāt know if that is still the case.
He could activate to help farmers who have lost their farm hands due to trumpās immigration crackdown.
This lady was absolutely in the right and the employees and instructor should have been taking her side. āThere are no reserved spotsā should have been said to the obnoxious, finger-flipping old WW!
And she looked healthier than he does.
Blood thinners and then hitting his hand or getting an IV inserted.
As in Ireland?
That is cool! My daughter had an event set up at the Oscar Wilde Pub (had to reschedule) and I thought that was such a cool place, too, but Iāll have to tell her about the archeological dig because she planned to major in anthropology (and got into corporate event planning instead).
Get ready for earthquakes.
I have to admit. After the deal yesterday, I flashed back to a Hallmark Christmas movie (set in Chicago, I think) that did this for a hotel opening. Sooooā¦not my original idea, but I do think it would be really cool. Maybe the visitors would have the ability to team up with a local, too.
The problem is that most AI for BI is not user friendly. It isnāt ChatGPT type of AI. It takes learning the symantics of the program, building the proper LLMs, not siloing the dataā¦lots of variables.
Certainly bringing in folks from southern red states would not make DC folks, especially minorities, feel safe to have a bunch of guys with guns who probably subscribe to the Bars and Stars mentality around, I wouldnāt think.
He could get businesses to sponsor and have them as a stopā¦small deli, pizza place, small art gallery. Change it by the seasonsā¦so skating and the Rockefeller Christmas Tree at Christmas, ride around Central Park in the spring, maybe see color change in fall? Not the normal Time Square & Broadway.
And for half the hourly rate.
Wonder what the ratio on that post was.
Eventually ICE agents will be posting Go Fund Me pages to pay their legal fees for their terrorist activity while their sister-wives create Only Fans pages to keep their pickup trucks from being repossessed. And that time canāt happen soon enough.
Guess he forgot about the 2 bombs dropped on Japan.
Once he becomes mayor, he should have an app developed for tourists to use to get to know the city via scavenger hunt that ends at the Mayorās office. Iāve never been to NYC, but I would definitely come to do this.
Despite what MTG thinks, the Wilder Brigade was from Illinois. Illinois has a history of fighting for what is right.
The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it alongā¦
Nieces, nephews, cousins?
Should this be filed in Travis County?
Wonder if she is deaf in her left ear. Would not be uncommon.
It is both.
El Paso should rise up and fight this.
What I have are very large calfs and bell bottoms covered themā¦LOL Plus, Iām just an old hippie.
I miss bell bottom jeans!
Wonder if Pritzker could call up the Illinois NG first to assist farmers who need assistance in their fields or to protect Chicago from an invasion.
Are you going to have players post photos, tag you and hashtag #MamdaniForMayorNYC?
Austin had 70 last year and at least 32 so far this year.
Hypothetically, no, because you can never trust his word on anything.
Roger always needs to look in the mirror when making these statements.
How fun!
This is only going to get worse and it is all on trump, Steven miller, Bondi, et al.
