Music: THE BENNY ANDERSSON BAND -'STORY OF A HEART'
Brilliant song. Not sure this is out in the US yet. ABBA fans will love it.
Good news....
I have viral labyrinthitis (look it up) So will be ill for anything between a couple of days to a few weeks. Will still post but have to spend most of my time lying down.

Affirmative Action..............from Rico
Affirmative Action. It sounded like a good idea once. Fair. But, like ALL government programs it has assumed immortality long after any need remains for it.
I once belonged to an organization that was dedicated to "affirmative action" in a big way. Let me say that I never met one I didn't like on a personal basis, but then I never met one who was clearly the most qualified for the position they held either...they were by varying degrees unqualified and/or incompetent and had to be "carried" by the more capable employees. It was an open secret to management and employees alike, but one that dare not be acknowledged unless you were ready to make a career-terminating decision by saying so.
Possibly the kindest, yet most astute, comment I ever heard made about one senior affirmative action individual was "at least he photographs well." Think about it.
It was one thing to have to "carry" affirmative action dead weight, but we now may very well be "buried" by an affirmative action pResident.
What was well-intended may turn out to have been a suicide pact for the Republic. We waited too long to return to a meritocracy...

Kids on Marriage................
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with...
-- Kristen, age 10
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough...
-- Lynnette, age 8 ( isn't she a treasure? )
On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10 ( isn't he ready for the world of dating ?)
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
-- Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them... It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED ?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 ( bless you child )
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED? There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8 ( I like this kid )
And the Number 1 Favorite is ....
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10 ( He'll be married forever )
