  1. Are you, or have you ever been, in the military?
  2. The Tsar's palace is now the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. That part of the city opens the bridges over all the canals during White Nights in June. I walked around that affluent neighborhood at 3 in the morning in daylight.
  3. Boys still share bedrooms and bathroom, especially in less affluent families. When I was in the Army, guys from blue-collar familier were a bit more used to sleeping naked. Interesting to know you have several sons.
  4. Showering in basic training and/or more advanced training and in war zones may not have changed at all. Not sure of military stationed in Europe because nobody seems to have posted about it in the 1960s
  5. I saw "Oh Calcutta' in early Dec. 1969. Just ok. But, I had been in the Army until June 1969, so was quite used to nudity.
  6. News: Novak Djokovic just won the US Open Tennis Turnament in New York. At smaller tournaments, the male players often shower next to the mens room. Example: tournament in Aptos near Santa Cruz, CA.
  7. Xanax is addictive, and you mentioned he was it beyond what his doctor recommended.
  8. As important, most people slowly reduce xanax, not stop all at once. Stopping all at once could end in a hospital emergency room.
  9. For me, it depends on a. what the expense is for (b) excellent prospects for additional funds in the next year or so. I am quite aware of totally unexpected (and expected) funeral costs. Costs that leave folks unable to make mortgage payments and credit csrd payments.

    Given that my uncle worked on building the canal, I praise Pres. Carter for agreeing to include Panama. He had to admit that talking to Senators was not his best qualities. Instead he wrote to all 100 senators. And he asked Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger to call. Also, his wife and Lady Bird Johnson.

    Twins

    @Avalon, my oldest uncle (not great uncle) worked on constucting the Panema Canels. I had no contact ever with his daughter. When my mother died in 2000, I called Helen in Canada. She wanted to buried with our grandmother. I know my mom's silbings would not have agreed but I still helped. It is never too late to connect no matter the distance.

    It could be worse. My brother does not know all the names of his living first cousins. He the oldest cousin, "that woman."

    You write about having very few family members other than a half sister. Here's a chance to be more friendly with a cousin.

    I have several sets of twins in my family only one set look exactly the same. I am twin also, but my brother died shortly after we were born.
  15. I talk occasionally to male and female friends about guys I really liked as escorts and as people. Example: Tristan Waters.
  16. In my situation, it was really one half of a xanax.
  17. Please stop the warnings about one xanax.
  18. I had a heart attack yearrs ago, and even the doctor initially thought it was acid reflux. I would have drank before seeing a doctor at 9 in the morning - not possible
  19. I visited Italy in 2010, but did it from Prague. So glad I saw Prague if only for six days. But now I also think about the German airports where I changed planes often.
  20. I am lost as to why an occasional xanax is harmful. It is not easy to separate acid reflex from a heart attack.
  21. New York Time: It seems unlikely the shoes would be going back to Mr.Shaw, the owner. The company that insured them paid him $800,000 for the loss, and is now the legal owner. Mr.Show in 2015 interview: "There's more to my life than a pair of pumps." Right: $800,000.
  22. Agree. Garland had a variety show in prime time, Sunday nights on CBS. Lasted one season, and was pretty good.
  23. I suggest you concentrate just on school, and worry about debt later. Doing well in school wll give you more confidence. My choice of school and work lasted two years before leaving the job. Wonderful to completely devout to one thing: school. I enjoyed reading your message.
  24. Agree. But, it is wonderful film.
  25. Agree one hundred percent.
