Wow, Happy Dad, you are quite the talented artist! I can't even draw a correct "stick figure." Thanks for sharing those with us. But, the final one, about the difficult thing about owning a dog, I think that could apply to owning a cat, too! And, Peaceful P, kind of thought that's what you meant, but I just needed some clarification. Thanks. You know, I have adopted a phrase used by Mr. Flipper: His concluding thought was, "Peace Out." I use that phrase when signing off the air after a radio conversation, with a fellow Ham. Oh, well, that's just me.....Best Regards.....Titch.

Peaceful P: Well, I do hope that over the years that you and your wife have been "hammies" that you have renewed your licenses every 10 years. It's very easy to renew the license when it comes time to do so, which you probably already know. Yes, the fact of getting the license can be a novelty. It was for me when I first got licensed in 1986. Communication by radio has been interesting for me. Oh, and yes, What is a "prepper"? Just curious. Best Regards, Everyone.....Titch.

Hobbies, eh? Well, I indulge in radio. By that I mean, that I am a licensed Amateur Radio Operator, having been licensed since 1986. Hard to believe that it's been 36 years, this month, but it has! I also have a few radio scanners, that receive a bunch of frequencies, and I do monitor those once in a while. I have 3 good working 35mm cameras that use film. I used to enjoy going to local parades here in SoCal, and photographing celebrities that were in the parade. But, since COVID-19, a lot of parades have been cancelled. So, I have kind of lost interest in photography. I hope to revive that interest in the future.So, there you go. Best Regards....Titch.

AudeSapere: I do remember Jim Simon quite well, and listened to his show on KABC, primarily, and on KGIL Wasn't he associated with a congregation in Fountain Valley? I recall seeing him once, at a District Assembly that was held at the now-defunct, now demised, now-demolished Hollywood Park Race Track---which has been replaced by SoFi Stadium. He was relating some experiences that he had, while he was in the Middle East. (I think that was in 1976, or 1977, or 1979) But, yeah, he was probably influential in getting Theresa Graves on "Religion On The Line." Best Regards, Everyone----Titch

Here in the Southern California area, there is a radio station, KABC/790 AM, that has been a talk-radio station for many years. Every Sunday evening, they would have a show called "Religion On The Line". I do remember Theresa Graves being invited to expound upon the persecution of Witnesses in Malawi, and I think that she appeared on that show around 1974 or 1975. (Don't remember which year that was) But, yeah, she did come on that show, way back when. Best Regards to all.....Titch.

Folks: Well, here in the United States, tonight, July 19th, is when the MLB All-Star Game will be played. And, it will be played at Dodger Stadium, in Los Angeles, California. For those of you who don't know, the All-Star Game is a game in which members of the American League teams compete with members of the National League teams. Myself, I plan to watch it on TV.
But, while watching it, I can think back, that on this date, in 1969, I was THERE, in that stadium. Yes, 53 years ago today I was attending the 5th day of the "Peace On Earth" International Assembly of the JWs. It was a 6-day assembly, that began on Monday of that week, and went until Sunday, July 20th. (That was the day that the first humans arrived at Luna---the Moon) It was an assembly that began at 9:00 a.m. every day, and lasted for 12 hours. Now, of course, we had intermissions during the day, and we usually had a break of about 2 hours every late afternoon. I myself, volunteered to work in one of the refreshment stands during the assembly. Oh, what fun we had that week!
So, for anyone reading this post, Were YOU there that week? What was YOUR experience with a 6-day or a 7-day international assembly? Best Regards....And, GO Baseball Teams!.....Titch.

Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!
by Simon ini know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

I believe that people such as TonusOH and others have responded quite well, in accordance with what I was trying to point out. My thought was, If spontaneous abortions, or, miscarriages, are nature's way of terminating or ending a pregnancy---and they happen more often than we might think--- then why do some people have an objection when some---not all---female human beings, choose to have an abortive procedure, when they come to the realization that they are pregnant? Let me clarify something: I might have mentioned this in a previous response, but I'll repeat it here: I have absolutely no "skin in the game" in this issue. I have never, ever wanted to perpetuate the human race by contributing to the production of " cranking out babies" onto the face of Planet Earth. And, I have not done so. But, let me be clear on this: I am of the "pro-choice" mindset. That's right---pro-choice. I firmly believe that an adult female, when she comes to the realization that she is pregnant, should have the right to choose how to proceed with the pregnancy, whether to continue with it, let the fetus develop for 9 months and give birth to a baby at that point----or, to terminate the pregnancy at a reasonable, feasible time. The choice should be left up to the female who is pregnant. Not some governmental entity...not some religious entity. So, hey, if the individual states in the United States are now going to decide whether to have abortion legal or illegal in their own respective states, then so be it. Let's see what happens in 10, 15, or 20 years.
