Thanks guys!

Link to video Peridot. Richard Yard. It reminds me of the old saying about the Tiffany's counter- if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it. I thought that slogan was silly at the time- but it made a point.

Of course. Lol, Joe.

Link to video Ok, I lell my HS story. My best friend Hara and I were the two alternates. We couldn't serve well enough. We had no game to speak of. We didn't have the knowledge needed to get through a match. If we had the experience we would still not have the stamina. So we enjoyed hitting with each other. I loved hitting in the concrete "courts" they have for this. We spent a lot of time together at city parks for tennis. We listened to music (Broadway, Streisand, almost every album). No disrespect to Streisand at all, but when I hear her voice now, I switch it off. It was definitely a brief musical phase for me though. We talked outback dating (others, not each other, lol). Good times. I wish I could have done more in HS but there wasn't much opportunity for playing tennis in inner city Tampa, and more to the point, I didn't have the opportunity to take lessons. So yeah. Glorified waterboy. Lol!

And control. They want to know who is pregnant. They want to know who has guns. etc.

Republicans seem to believe that the bad consequences will not affect them.

@wtg Seems to be, "Our product will kill us all." Not the best sales pitch and unusual coming from the seller. I tend to believe things like that.

@jon-nyc I don't disagree. I just think the military budget is absurd. Not that voters have any control over it.

I bet they were just glad not to be trekking.

I can see it, Chas.

Belated Birthday Greetings, kluurs! Many happy returns of the day.

I thought this was going to be about fractals (Julia sets).

Never heard it. I need to give it a listen.

@RealPlayer said: It must be hard to render faces frontally on coinage because of the way the nose projects outward. I think that’s why they’re traditionally done in profile. Can you imagine doing Washington’s nose frontally? OMG! I wish I could have seen Diana's profile on coins.

My interface is still tiny but the page doubling effect and constant sign in requests are gone today.

@Mik said: I’ve never had a reaction to vaccines, or medications for that matter. I attribute it to my misspent youth. It’s seen it all. Well, your misspent youth and having seen it all have served you well. : ;
