@loki said in Required vaccination: https://www.axios.com/vaccine-proof-americans-demand-74778b08-7e1c-40f5-a83e-1a1649eb835d.html Maybe not mandatory, but will that be a distinction without a difference? I'm sure this will stop with the wu-flu. Nobody will ever think of making any other vaccines mandatory.

What sucks is you can’t see the tags from mobile devices.

So Trump never demanded Congress allocate money to build the southern border wall?

Shut down Tik Tok also.

Santa arrived a little early...

We listened to 6 albums yesterday. Each one revealing things that I had never heard before. The soundstage is very wide and deep. Extending beyond the physical placement of the speakers. As it should be. The Grado cartridge/stylus is designed and manufactured in the US as well. It was an optional $150 upgrade. Yes, it is in a Maple, wood housing. It's the newest member of Grado's Timbre line of moving coil phono cartridges. Their first "affordable" ($275) moving coil, wooden cartridge. Grado has a cartridge that looks very similar called the Epoch 3, yet it costs $12,000.00 Yep! freaking 12k for a turntable cartridge. lol Very happy with the purchase. I will be doing a lot of listening and comparisons between the SOL and the Technics SL-1200 MK5.

Something I almost never do. The conversation always moves forward and I don't often feel the need to look back.

@brenda said in The Subtle Art of Gift Giving: The giver needs to be mindful that gifts intended to create closeness or indicate a close relationship should be accompanied by treating the person respectfully and decently the rest of the year, too. I have a relative who likes to give sappy sentimental gifts at Christmas or other holidays, while the rest of the year she is manipulative, demanding, mean, and deceitful. It just doesn't work to try to pretend the rest of the year doesn't exist. Ayup.

Good observation.

@jon-nyc said in "Hi Mom!": @89th said in "Hi Mom!": FWIW I pick up my 2 year old daughter from daycare each day. All I do is show up and they bring her down and release her to me. They don't even ask my name, or my ID, because.....common sense. They know me. Glad I don't have to show my ID each time. I didn’t either at his private nursery schools. Might change in elementary school if you go public. True. Although I’ll be in minnesooooota by then and there are only nice people there.

This is the deadliest year in U.S. history, with deaths expected to top 3 million for the first time — "expected to" So these deaths haven't happened yet due mainly to the coronavirus pandemic. How do we know the cause of these "expected" deaths? They haven't happened, they might not happen.

It takes all of us, or so they say. Even him.
