Did you introduce him to what good music sounds like or did he just find his way there on his own?

I must know how to get similar results down the road. I can't have no Nickelback playing in my household. No Roll Tide and no Nickelback, or else they are out on the streets.

I have randomly played good music (plethora of artist) since he was a baby. Actually, yesterday, I walked in handed him my phone and told him to play the song I had on it.

He really liked it....it was Elvis Presley "King Creole".

I asked him a little while ago why he was listening to that song. He was actually looking for some of the music I had been listening to earlier. I didn't even know he was listening, so I went back through the songs I had been listening to until I found the one he was looking for (he didn't know the name of the song).

It was Kris Kristofferson "Sunday Morning Coming Down".

I Wanna kill the little sucker somedays, then days like today he totally amazes me.

Tell that to the families that lost loved ones.

It's a hard row to hoe without friends in the world. I guess saving millions of people from the same neverending nightmare fate as the North Korean people is not worth it? I think there are a lot of heroes that would feel differently.

We did a great thing in Korea. I will not insult the sacrifice of the men and women that gave their lives protecting that people by saying it was not worth it.

I know my grandfather used to tell me that he wished he could gave gone and helped.

Soooo...I walk by my son's room a little while ago. He's sitting on his bed with his tablet and has headphones plugged into it. Not in and of itself a big deal, right? I would normally think he was playing a game or watching videos about Fortnite.

But the look on his face told me something was different this time. I walk into his room and ask him what he is doing. He says "I'm listening to an awesome song, you wanna hear it?" Now I get nervous, wondering what kind of crap I'm about to have to listen to.

He says to give him a sec to restart it, then unplug the headphones...(i'm tearing up thinking about it)

He was listening to Joe Cocker "Whiter Shade of Pale".

Mad parenting skills....yeah, I got em.

I had the same experience with my boy one time, in his case it was Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Why do you think the US waited so long to enter the fight in WWI?

Number of factors. No global scale military. Strong sentiment against foreign wars. Folks point to the Lusitania, but we entered two years after a UBoat hit it. In my opinion, folks saw that Russia was falling apart, and we knew that might tip the scales in the war. We entered a few months before the Russian revolution. Germany aided the revolution by sending Lenin home. Russia leaves, and Germany expects the balance to tip in their favor, but success of revolution in Russia inspires socialists/Marxists/Communists across Europe. Combined with the fact that the US also entered the chat, the Germans don’t see the boost they hoped for. Also, both sides were exhausted. Wanted to find an end to the war.

US impact was more important post war. Wilson planted the seeds for WWII and numerous Mideast and Balkan conflicts in the 20th century.

Good job. My oldest grandson loved the old 60s and 70's music, although he especially loved the 60s music, the Beatles, Herman's Hermits, Brian Jones era Stones, although he loved Tom Petty and some 70s rock groups as well.

His POS father, who was never in the household so was not his dad, was big into rap and it frustrated the hell out of him that his son preferred rock.

Just letting my Vol family know that my Mom had to go back to the ER for the second time in a week. For months now we all have noticed that her appetite has really gone down and doesn't eat much which of course has cause a lot weight loss. Lately she been saying that she has to force food down cause her esophagus wouldn't let her. My sister went over today and said she looks terrible and pale. She stays at a retirement apartment and they were concerned about mom so they called an ambulance. The last report I got was that her Cardiac enzymes are high but not sure still whats up with her not being able to swallow. I know my Dad had that happen but he had Dementia. He passed just a few days after that. I know this could be entirely different situation. I know we have Doctors and people in here who work in the Medical field would appreciate any info that you may think is going on. I know you can't really know without seeing someone but just wondering even if its bad. Mom is 89 has nephropathy and Rheumatoid arthritis. Appreciate your prayers.

Anyone want to define “full contact tracing” for me?
Click to expand...
When someone tests positive .. you ask them to name everyone they have been in close contact with over the last few days. You then test those people and if you find other positive people .. you ask them the same question .. until you finally find the person who originally infected the group.
