Our two posts have not come up on "Recent Posts" which is what I was trying to do posting here at all to make it easier to find. Not that I don't have opinions, lol.
Cheers

Edit: Now it's working. Thank you

Lots of unfamiliar names from the past. I wonder what happened to them all?

That's a sobering thought Marye - but a truthful one. I wonder what the board will look like in `15 years time ?

I can't seem to find the current "Trouble ahead.." page. Simon and Oro put some thoughts down on it. I can only access access it after someone else has made a comment, and it is noted on the homepage. It's the same as with Daves Picks 52. Neither of which is a big problem, I have to say

Thanks for looking into this for me. They show up in Recent Posts for me too, but I can't find a heading labelled "Current Events". I look at the page under the top heading of "Community". Under "Store Products" is where I go to find the Daves Picks pages - although the one for 52 isn't there at the moment.

So I can access both the Daves Picks 52 page and the Trouble Ahead page, if there are Recent posts. But if there aren't any recent posts, then I can't seem to access them. This doesn't matter with the Daves Picks page, as there is usually a Recent Post on that one. But the "Trouble Ahead..." one isn't as popular, so I have to wait a while for a Recent Post before I can put a comment on.

My general low level of online skills doesn't help !

Had a sighting of the GD 60 Year Anniversary logo I must say it is sweeeeeet. Now it just so happens that come this September I'll turn 60 myself. So all I want for my 60th is an official release of 12/1/79.

If I click on my id icon on the rhs of the top line and select recent posts from the drop down menu then I get a long list of topics which includes this one and the newer version and the DaP 52 one. I’m using an iPad.

(Community) then (News and talk)
I think.

Thanks Colin. Why couldn't I work that out?
1st show - thanks also, but I couldn't seem to get what I was looking for doing that. I do find life difficult sometimes!

It's all looking good to me. Here's to another great year in the world of The Dead.

I think trouble has always ahead

I agree. It always was.

“Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them.”
― George Carlin

Told it like it is

What song has the lyrics: “He’ll live to see another Spring”?

“Pre born you are set preschool you are fucked”

The eternal optimist. I don't know who wrote it, but it reminded me of when I saw Jerry Lee Lewis in London in 2015. I don't normally buy merchandise, but this for me was a special occasion. Only I couldn't find a stall selling any. I asked a member of staff, and she told me there wasn't any. " Maybe there will be some next time he comes," she offered.

this country is doomed

The emperor has no clothes.

Tariffs? Bully our closest friends and allies?

Delusional.

“When a clown moves into a palace he doesn’t become a king, the palace instead becomes a circus. — Turkish proverb,”

Am I asleep and dreaming? Or is all of this bs truly happening?

if I stick my hand into this meat grinder, and chop at the remains with a hatchet, and poke my carotid artery 10 times with a scalpel, and jump off a 50-foot precipice, and stop eating for two weeks, and drink nothing but poison for a month....I will be better off, and my body will be healthier than ever?

Cool! Let's make this happen!"

Analogy/parable/allegory theater for your consideration

"People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think." - Aldous Huxley

"When people tell you who they are, believe them."
- Edited to Maya Angelou (not Alice Walker)

Much appreciated Dennis

"Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself."

I believe that is really a Maya Angelou quote.

But I'm no expert.

Great quote regardless and so true.

Good

Can't wait for this gathering!! IT is going to be great to chill in the park for 3 days!! Tearing up the city after hours!!

Thanks for this gift.
