    In the 1970s, living to 100 in Jamaica was no big deal.   There were a lot of people above 80 who were active.  Although, today, 2017 we have the oldest living person in the world, 117,  the fact is, the number of […]

    It doesn’t matter where you are.   School, Office, Street, very often you will encounter someone who never shuts up and who, if there is no one to talk with, starts to sing.

    This behaviour is startling.

    I was wasting time on Facebook, and there was this list of ‘people I might know’. Hmmm?

    • It is true, and many people especially young ones do not know the risks involved in plastering facebook with their photos! They are easy targets for scammers, etc.

      I do not accept friendships from people I do not know, so FB should stop such things as “people you might know!”

      • I totally agree with you. Anyone who clicks on these users has no idea who they are. I know my friends, but who is this? I could use any photo as myself… so do they.

    Imagine you are an actor or actress on a hit serial.    The show airs once a week on television and people tune in to watch.   You’ve gotten attention, maybe you have a fan base.

    The show is going season after se […]

    • ‘you want more creative opportunities’?? LOL. LOL. You’re really know how to make me laugh. Substitute “lucrative” for the word “creative”. Sometimes it works out for them. Sometimes not. It does depend on the opportunities. It’s true if you get hooked on a show and they change cast, you keep watching it. But even though I keep watching the program, I find myself always comparing the new cast to the original cast that I really liked. The different cast members make the grade with me. MI-5 is the only show that ever kept changing its cast and I didn’t mind it all. That was an awesome. The only member of the cast that they took out that made me really mad was the lady who played “Ruth” (Nicola Walker). I really liked her. When she died I was furious!!

      • Typo. The different cast members make the grade with me. Meant to say “The new cast members don’t make the grade with me.”

        • I find that although I might have liked a particular actor, once he or she is gone, the show doesn’t suffer. The new actor fills the space and the show continues.

      • The actor/actress who gives that excuse usually becomes unemployed. Think of those who were on Grey’s Anatomy in the beginning. Where are they now? When was the last time they worked?

        Even those who claim to leave for some role in a movie… what movie? It is just a lack of sense. It isn’t anything else. It is as if they have a fantasy of hundreds of producers banging on their door.

        • My son watched Grey’s Anatomy. I was not a fan. I liked “Death in Paradise”, in the beginning. But even though I continue to watch it, I don’t really like the “replacements”. For me, it’s that way with a lot of TV shows I view regularly. It’s silly but I get attached to certain characters.

          • Greys began highly rated, was a little stupid, went down then started to pick itself up. The original 5 main characters; Meredith, Izzi, Alex, George and Christina wound up… Izzi was nominated for an award and refused because she didn’t think her character deserved it so she was written out. George got into an argument with Isiah Washington over homosexuality, and Isiah was dispatched to please the gay community and George was killed to get rid of him. Christina who had a very good role and won awards was one of the ‘creative opportunities’ morons so hasn’t been seen since 2012.

            On Death In Paradise, the star’s wife couldn’t take the heat so went back to England, and he followed her. So I guess he’s joined the dole.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Wall? What Wall? Oh…that Wall 7 years, 7 months ago

    One of the most ridiculous things that crawled out of Donald Trump’s mouth was the building of a Wall between the United States and Mexico.

    This is as ridiculous as unplugging a lap top with a seven hour battery […]

    • Haven’t heard much jibber jabber about the wall lately. But then … I don’t keep up with the news reports or with the Trump tweets. What happened? Is something going on about that wall? I thought the guy in North Korea was on center stage. Are people yelling about that wall again? (???) (Head scratch.) (O.o)

      • Everyone I know who lives in the US is just like you… they virtually have locked off the News. It was announced today that the Democrats would not pass any budget which had the Wall expense on it, so it was dropped for this budget.

    • Yeah, that Security Border Wall. I’ve heard this anti-Trump narrative rant eversince President Donald Trump announced his presidential run in June 2015. And it’s still going on.

      So far, in his first 100 days, anti-Trump ‘compliant citizenry’ are still folding their arms, sulking, yelling their hatred of progess and hatred of Republicans and hatred of anything good, intelligent and conservative ideals for America’s path to going forward in making USA great again.

      It’s mind-boggling to us why anarchy is the liberal-left Democrats’ daily mode of fighting and resistance?

      Anyway, he hasn’t wavered from this vision on building a security border wall. Neither have awesome intelligent legal and lawful Americans who have won a President.

      We’ll see.

      • What you missed, (assuming you read the article) is that;

        ” If Americans did not hire Mexicans and other South Americans, they wouldn’t go to America. Simple. Go and do what? Sleep on a street? Starve? No. Go and get to this place or that place and get a job. Sure, it might be digging ditches, picking fruit, cleaning toilets. But it is a job.

        If no American hired anyone who did not have a social security card or a Work Visa, then there would be no sense in going to America. But that is not what is happening. ”

        The point is that if there were no jobs there would not be such ‘immigration’.
