  1. Thanks! I thought Alice Springs would have made a good location for the federal capital. It's in the center of the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Springs
  2. I wonder how many Americans can name the Australian states and their capitals? I can. I understand that the Northern Territory is to become a state in a couple of years.
  3. If so THANK-YOU for your service!!! I didn't but my father fought in WWII in the Philippines. My maternal grandfather fought in the Spanish-American War also in the Philippines.
  4. My father fought in the Philippines in WWII where the signs were in kilometers. He joked saying they'd be marching along and see a sign that said the next village was so many kilometers away. He didn't know if it were around the next bend in the road or a suburb of Tokyo.
  5. Mexican food is muy yum!
  6. On the recent episode of "The Cool Kids" there was a raffle for a 65' tv set. The winner said he wanted it placed in his bathroom. I had a friend who had a tv set in the bathroom. It was a small one and sat on a shelf across from the toilet.
  7. LGBT is okay with me!
  8. I don't know why we should have allied ourselves with Stalin. Let Hitler and Stalin fight it out on the freezing steppes of Russia. Weren't England and France hypocrites? They declared war on Germany because Hitler invaded Poland. But Hitler divided Poland with Stalin. Why did the Allies then not declare war on the USSR?
  9. Terrible times! Hurricanes on the east coast and fires on the west coast.
  10. Yes. He was am Anti Semite. I like John Philip Sousa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Philip_Sousa
  11. Holy Cow! Wow Indeed!
  12. This was just a "ripped from the headlines" story about Kavanaugh. Sometimes it takes me days to watch shows. I watch online. And I'll hear something and pause to look it up. I'm easily distracted.
  13. Good points. One reason I don't care for Kahlo and Rivera and Picaso too is that they were Communists.
  14. Because he is the POTUS he takes precedence. I was reading about the Emperor Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie. In a carriage ride normally the woman would sit on the right-hand side but because he was the Emperor he sat on the right.
  15. https://www.countrylife.co.uk/nature/jackdaw-bird-just-loves-people-178185 They regularly make same-sex love matches – particularly in captivity Dr Lorenz also discovered that, although the birds normally pair for life, jackdaws in captivity tend to form same-sex pairs. Research in the Netherlands in the 1970s went a step further by concluding that such pairings occur in the wild and that among females that have lost their mates, 10% bond with other females and 5% form a same-sex ménage a trois. This aspect was pursued in detail by Canadian biologist Bruce Bagemihl in his 1999 book Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity, in which he described widespread ‘non-procreative sexuality’ in the natural world. Jackdaws are among many species that may form same-sex pairs, he declared.

  19. If cabbage is in Hades and coleslaw in heaven I guess I'm stuck in purgatory! And carrots? That's what the Devil tempted Eve with!
  20. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot That was a part of the recent episode of "Dynasty". I never have had a reading with the Tarot cards themselves but one time a friend gave me a reading with an ordinary deck of cards.
  21. Was it an all boys' school?
  22. "Oh I see you've discovered that the way to a man's heart isn't only through the hole in his boxers". :p:p:p From the recent episode of "Dynasty". Alexis to Crystal. Crystal is making Blake a sandwich.
  23. Hopefully it was a one time thing then. Maybe just a power surge then.
