Like so many people my age, I became aware of Vera Lynn because of her mention on Pink Floyd's Album The Wall.
The opening lyrics to Vera:
Does Anyone Here Remember Vera Lynn?
Remember How She Said That
We Would Meet Again... Some Sunny Day?
I love this clip of her.

Judy's sister Kelly died today. We were all down at the hospital for support. Only her son and daughter could go in today to be with her. Her respirator was at 100% and her lung damage was too significant for recovery.
I want to thank you all for your prayers and support. She just wasn't strong enough. My Grandfather always said death is just going through another door. I do believe that.
I know Kelly has plenty of family and good people on the other side of that door
We love you Kelly
Ulrich,
Good luck with the surgery!
Dave
York1We can pay tribute to one of the most recognizable voices of the mid 1900s. Her voice influenced so many soldiers heading into battle. She died today at age 103. Vera Lynn, "The Forces' Sweetheart":

I have to come back and clear the air here
Kelly and her good nature would find that so funny Ken
She lives in a small house and the cow wouldn't fit very well
Humor is the best medicine and we all need it so much
I'm just waiting here to leave the parking lot and take Judy home after her niece and nephew come out It's raining like cats and dogs here
Ulrich, good luck with your eye surgery. I'm glad you sought immediate medical advice. When you said you saw things that weren't there, I had an idea of what might be going on.
There is no accounting for prejudice. My father's ships were bombed by both the Japanese and the Germans and he seemed to harbor no ill will to immigrants of either country yet he had other prejudices.
Ricky unless that is an opinion from the Cleveland Clinic, I would get another opinion on the aneurysm. Sometimes the location makes them inoperable.
I can't make any sense in the Covid numbers. In any indivdual state the numbers jump around. The death rate is dramatically different in Virginia than in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Those three states all have some world famous medical institutions. It is still very low in Germany. It's often compared to influenza, where various strains are more deadly than others. Influenza death rate is a model. The "experts" decided that death certificates underestimate the true incidence. How do we know the models are accurate? One day we will figure out the experts, be they health, economic, social, government only think they know the answer, they don't really know.

BATMANGiving up on anything because of one bad experience sure limits how full a life we can live.
I may have missed to say, that this is not my first and one and only very negative experience with Danish people. Our money is welcomed, but we are not.
Track fiddlerI think we are saying goodbye to Kelly tonight
And here I am, fussing about feeling discriminated by some Danish pastry not selling his home to us! I bow my head in shame.
Prayers to your family, TF!
Meanwhile, back in MN, ND, and SD ....
The Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern was a short line railroad with tracks from the Twin Cities running soth of the Twin Cities.
It was sometimes called "The Dan Patch Line' which was the name of a race horse.
Well Said Brent!
Tinplate Toddlerit´s a clear case of discrimination.
Types of discrimination.
Show me a place where discrimination does not exist. It makes no rational sense to discriminate for any of the above reasons but people do, go figure. I have been discriminated by people during some of my world travels but despite that I have found the majority of people have brains and are welcoming as can be.
Giving up on anything because of one bad experience sure limits how full a life we can live.
cudaken TF I sure hope Kelly does not live in a apartment! Think it would be hard to sneak a Cow in.

She won't need to worry about that
We are going down to the same parking lot we've gone down to everyday this week
The new medicine developed in England apparently is not working

Yes, Poly Tics... (since we cannot talk politics here : )-
ROAR
When my daughter graduated from college, the speaker was Angus King, a senator from Maine whose son was also graduating that day. The Senator said that "politics" is actually a compound word, from "poly," meaning "many," and "tics," meaning small, six-legged insects." This set off the biologists in the crowd, as tics have 8 legs, and are therefore not insects, but arachnids.

Ulridh, Sorry to hear the bad news. For what it's worth, when my parents moved from the states to Nova Scotia there was some of the same about selling them property until they made it clear they were moving permanently and would live in the house full time. A lot of the real estate there was/is severly undervalued and lots of people were buying waterfront property with the intent of using it for a vacation/part time residence. That did nothing to help aging and declining communities. Hopefully you do not give up the idea and do make clear to your agent that you are looking to move and live in your new home full time. J.R.
Well, I sent an email to the agent and he clearly lied to me - that´s it! The house actually will be going for less money than the asking price, so it´s a clear case of discrimination. There is no sense in pursuing it from a legal side, but it completely took my appetite for moving to Denmark away, as this is not the only time things like this have happened. So much for a United Europe!
I will undergo eye surgery tomorrow morning to avoid losing the vision on my left eye.
MisterBeasleyWe live on a tidal marsh, so our birds are plentiful. We have a lot of gulls and wading birds. I've never lived around herons or egrets before, so they are a treat. The marsh is also along a migratory path, so we have a constant fly-by in the fall and spring. I did ask a Canadian friend on another forum what Canadians called Canada Geese. His immediate answer was "dinner."
Someone say Dinner?
