  1. Is nice to say silly things about Canada.  All can say is clean your own house first.  Not too sure what the restrictions are for, but I think Canada can walk with pride on many things they have done.  Can put all the countries on the dart board and I think everyone will get a few hits.  Canada may not be a leader like the U.S., China or Russia, God bless their morals, but I appreciate they are becoming lousy followers.

     

  2. Use Kindle a lot, bubble level, conversions, cooking, currency, Sygic gps, swiftkey, windfinder. galaxy charging,  Sygic has good maps, and not hard to use.  Swiftkey makes typing a lot easier, windfinder good for coastal weather, galaxy charging tells the rate at which your phone is being charged,  This is very useful as you will find a variety of charging rates from 300 - 1200, depending on source, wiring plug in's etc.

  3. Have a hard time with Trump idolizing Putin, when Putin is using Aleppo for war games.  Mayor powers often use this type of

    situation as a war game scenario to use new type of equipment, and work on strategy and tactics. There are old people, children and women

    being maimed, and killed here at the whim of Russia.  They send the kids home when bombing is too intense.  On the way home the students

    may lose an arm or leg, or be blinded, or killed.  This is civilization?  The human race has evolved?  What will America's future be if Putin is

    a role model.  People who know me know that I am not a wissy, but I am looking for someone to make me aware of the reasons that will

    point to a positive future when our leaders feel free to commit war crimes at their whim.  For the electorate to deem that morality is not 

    a prerequisite for office.  I know that all politicians have to have a big ego, and be a bit dishonest to satisfy the needs of the electorate,

    but this is beyond my comprehension.

     

  4. There are enough checks and balances that Trump can only do so much.  The big concern is the President, Senate, and congress are Republican and who is Trump

    going to be buddies with.  The Democrats are out of it, and the Republicans will be making concessions to each other to pass laws and regulations.  The President

    has had veto powers in the last 8 years, not going to be the same, and some loose cannons can cause some major problems with domestic and foreign policy.

    Trump has said he will update the military.  The people who are  making the budget have no military experience and without some common sense, being ahead 

    in the arms race, sill cost an incredible amount of money if he lessens involvement in NATO and Asian Friendlies..

  5. Education begins at home.  Have seen a lot of battles with parents trying to have teachers do more and more.  Parents normally are responsible for the child's desire to learn.

    When a child loves to learn then the sky is the limit, but have to teach the love of learning.  You will have to adapt to different teachers in working with your children's schooling.

    Have observed parents working with their kids with love and the children want to make their parents happy and appreciative of their new skills.  You don't have to be a professional

    to do this.  You have to create a priority in your time, learn the skills, and show the appreciation.  The kids want to make you happy, but easier the earllier you get involved.

    The concept for very young children is to open windows, rather than push through doors.

  6. There is less than a 15% chance it will be a happy relationship.  Live for a year with each other to see if you can handle the differences.  Is he secure?  Be prepared for a split.  If you find yourself complaining too much split.  Love or infatuation?  Babies normally come from infatuation.  Can you be friends?  A lot of things, which people normally don't look into.  I don't know the guy, so can't comment specifically.  You won't really know the guy for a couple of months. Can you handle having a kid without a husband?

  7. My house is by the ocean and gets the salty air.  I have a sister-in-law who lives about two k's from the beach.  I brought two bamboo plants and planted one at my place and one in our plantation by Sister-in-laws.  The one at our place would not grown and the one at the plantation did well.  What are the experiences with growing

    bamboo by the ocean.  Research indicates that some bamboo's don't have a problem.
