Mick: I'll admit that after I read your response to me, I decided to look up, on the Internet, articles about what is, and is not, defacing of currency. And, there are different schools of thought about what "defacing" money means. But, if it had been me that got that 20-Dollar bill as change in a transaction, I would have brought it my bank, and asked for a replacement "20", and told the teller to send that bill back to the closest Federal Reserve Bank to destroy it and get it out of circulation. I wouldn't want it "circulating" any more, as valid currency. It seems to me that whoever "illustrated" the back of that "20" was putting a political message, a political statement, on the bill, because of it having an illustration of the White House on the back of it. (Which, to me, is a rather childish, juvenile thing to do.) But---supposing---just supposing---sometime during 2017 through 2020, someone had taken a 20-Dollar bill, and wrote on the back of it, this statement: "Impeach Trump and get that carnival barker out of office." (And, that would also be a childish, juvenile thing to do) If I saw that, I still would have brought the bill to my bank, requested a replacement bill, and told the teller to send it back to the local Federal Reserve System bank, for the purpose of destroying it and getting it out of circulation. I do believe that our currency, our paper money is not the place to write out political messages, political statements, no matter who the President and Vice-President are, and what your own political beliefs are. It just isn't. Best Regards.....Titch.

But---but---but---isn't that considered to be defacing U.S. currency, which is a crime? Correct me if I'm wrong.

What Should Have Been Their "Surname" or "Last Name"?
by titch inok, folks, so here's my question.
now then, assuming that you believe that there was an actual first man and a first woman, as the bible propounds, that had the name of "adam" and "eve" (as we have called them, in the english language) well, what do you think that their surname or last name would have been, or should have been?
that is, if they had surnames way back then, in the so-called "beginning" of human existence?

In 1923 - I almost died!
by Terry inin 1923 i almost died.
__________in 1923 i almost died.. allow me to explain .... on the day of my parole from seagoville federal correctional institution, i walked out of the entrance of the prison and my grandfather was waiting for me at the gate.. the last time i’d seen him was in 1967. today was 1969.. he looked older and i must have looked much skinnier.. i opened the door and climbed into the front passenger side.. there were no seat belts back then.. jack avery hybarger was a private man, very shy about looking into anyone’s eyes.. he bottled up his emotions.
we weren’t a family that hugs or says “i love you.”.

Mr. Terry: I think that I've seen this posting from you in the past, but I might be hallucinating again in my old age. Either way, it is still an interesting read. But, I don't know if I'd call it a situation of "almost dying" --I'd call it a case of almost not coming into existence. For many people, there is a very fine line between coming into existence and not coming into existence. All because of circumstances that happened before them. Best Regards to you.....Titch.

OK, Folks, so here's my question. Now then, assuming that you believe that there was an actual first man and a first woman, as the Bible propounds, that had the name of "Adam" and "Eve" (as we have called them, in the English language) Well, what do you think that their surname or last name would have been, or should have been? That is, if they HAD surnames way back then, in the so-called "beginning" of human existence? I'll start it off with this: Adam Humanbeing...Eve Humanbeing. So, what do you think that their surname should have been. Now....get your "thinking juices" flowing, and have fun with this one! Best Regards Everyone.....Titch.

Earthquake in Victoria Australia
by smiddy3 ini ,along with many other victorians in australia,experienced my first earthquake this morning about 9:15 am.. it was recorded as a 5.9 magnitude.and an after shock of 4.0 magnitude.. i was having a lay in bed due to the fact my wife had a bad night due to her health problems which affected my sleep as well.. and i thought geeeze she`s making a lot of racket coming up the passage to the bedroom with her walker and then the bed started shaking like crazy .
i thought my computer`s going to hit the deck along with the printer as other things started to fall over.. our house sits on concrete stumps and the thought went through me that the house could collapse ,but thankfully there was no structural damage that i could find.. apparently it was felt far and wide covering most of victoria / nsw and even tasmania.. anybody else here had a similar experience ?.

I was born and raised in Southern California, so I have experienced my "share" of earthquakes in my lifetime. And, I never get used to them, when they happen, no matter what the magnitude is. I mean, it's just not "natural" for the Earth, underneath us, to move around. It's just not. If I were to be the "inventor" and "creator " of a planet, it would NOT have tectonic plates beneath its surface that move around to release "pressure", and cause havoc for the inhabitants of said planet, on the surface of the planet. And, if it had tectonic plates that move around underneath, the "release of pressure" would come at a predetermined time each day...oh, say at about 1:00 p.m . and it would be a magnitude of about 1 or 2, and would last for about 30 seconds, and no more. That way, we could all just expect the minor shaking to happen, and that would be it. So there, that's how I would invent a planet. But, no one asked for my input on inventing a planet. Best Regards, all...
