awhile a go i was uptight about a matter i can't remember now and my friend said to me " give the other side the victory".

a while ago my little boy was getting uptight and argumentative with his mum i asked him " to let it go" in effect i suppose " giving the other side the victory".

anyway i am sure our life exsperiences have allowed us both receive and give good advice.

Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.

i don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.

i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.

what did you love about the 80s?

There were so many good teen movies during the 1980s.

Here is one of the best of them and one of the best vampire movies of all time. I got to take my grandson to a midnight showing of it in the past two or three years. It's amazing on the big screen. The soundtrack is phenomenal.

My children and me circa 1985. Unfortunately, we were JWs at the time. We are visiting Stone Mountain Park in the Atlanta GA suburbs.

I'd sure raise these precious children much differently, if I was given the chance.

I miss the 80s. I'd do it again. I was in my 20s and my kids were little.

I'll kick it off with The Thompson Twins. "So lay your hands--lay your hands on me!"

IF you believe in evolution, theistic or not.....

are you more amazed by nature documentaries now, or were they better when "god did it"??.

FlyingHighNow

Nature documentaries never mentioned God, as far as I can remember. I grew up in 1960s and 1970s America where Evolution was taught in school as fact and God was not mentioned when it came to science.

sometimes people make special connections to animals.

sometimes they bond very deeply and are real friends.

yesterday was the end of such a friendship that lasted ten wonderful years.

Christopher, my beloved nephew. My heart is with you and Bev, and it breaks for you and gentle, giant Indy. This calls to mind you and your two brothers playing in the backyard when you were little boys, with Shasta the St. Benard and how you guys loved your doggies. I miss you, Chris and I wish I could be there to comfort you.

A song from that time when you were a little boy: 1976. This song is about a couple grieving the loss of their dog named Shannon. If ever I need to let go of emotion, this song will always help me:

Fine, you may not care for his beliefs, but give him credit that he was working where few of us would dare to.

Thank you for saying this, Jgnat.

Ebola is a threat to our entire world. I watched a program about it and it very easily can be taken all over the globe by people with no symptoms, but who are in the incubation period. These brave medical workers who have gone in to try to contain ebola are people every one of us needs to thank.
