  1. My brother was only ten when our dad passed away. Our mother never remarried, and lived till age 91. Still, he has never gotten over his death. My brother has blocked every thing that happened in the days after dad's death, including our Uncle's brief presence from a jury on a murder trial. He could only speak to our mom and nobody else. And a guard came with him.
  2. From what you have written, your mother was a truly wonderful person.
  3. Yes, I believe Jerry Ford was president. Why would you brag about being forty years behind most everyone one else?
  4. Presidents of War by Michael Beschloss Published October 9, 2018 Mrs. Johnson would remind Lyndon that the FBI files that so absorbed him "had a lot of unevaluated information in them, accusation and gossip which hadn't been proved" (p. 548)
  5. TylerandAce posted about the weather in the deep South, which led to a different conversation. If the original subject had been more interesting, I suppose they would be called rude!
  6. If it is a major performer you may never see again (Hugh Jackman, Ethel Merman) I recommend sitting as close to the stage as possible.
  7. Try a neighborhood Starbucks where people tend to know each other and the people who work there.
  8. Exactly, and the bride's mom was part of blue-collar Italian family, although her two daughters have high-paying jobs.
  9. No. I was aware that her mother was terminally ill before the wedding.
  10. My God daughter was married recently at a luxury hotel at Hilton Head, which surprised me because her family lives near New York City. As with @purplekow's mention of the St. Regis Hotel, I took the location into consideration while choosing a wedding gift. I sent a small gift. But I was far more generous when her mom died shortly after the wedding
  11. I remember reading a review of that performance in the New York Times. Just as negative, in fact worse.
  12. I never saw her in person, but like her singing in many operas available on CDs. In addition to cancelling, her strongest gift was not always acting (based on her performances on DVD). Still, I was shocked when learning Ms. Caballero had passed away. Sad as well!
  13. It is very easy to talk to people at Starbucks.
  14. Once you are able to leave your apartment, try Starbucks, easy to talk to people there.
  15. All of Starbucks soft drinks are in bottles. But, a limited selection.
  16. A Target Starbucks has a limited selection unlike a regular Starbucks. But, you are not going to find a diet Pepsi, although they sell other soft drinks.
