Do you have any? Where your mental image of a place does not match up with where you intellectually know it actually is?
1. Great Britain: I always picture it to the west of France. If i'm reading about the Norman invasion or D-Day i always see it in my head as crossing the channel east-west / west-east. But it's North-South.
2. Detroit: It's longitude is actually slightly east of Atlanta but my mental image has it in the midwest above Chicago, approximately where Milwaukee is in actuality.

The cost of living must be really cheap in Croatia. If i'm reading the graph correctly, it looks like he peaked at around $1600 per month. Don't see how that would support a jet set lifestyle.

As far as mainstream movies go, I'm really sick of the focus on franchises over the past decade. I have zero interest in super hero movies and it seems like there is constantly some new one. But movies, as with music, there's still good stuff to be found. The past seems like it was better because our minds filter out all the crap that was 90% of pop culture in decades past and just remember the good stuff. -

Is burying someone on a golf course tacky?
by GabeAthouse intrump's first wife and mother of his children died recently.
they had her buried on his golf course.
do you think this is tacky or a savvy business move since it'll now get them some tax breaks as a cemetery?.

It us not like trump is doing something different than others
Of course many people take advantage of these questionable loopholes. But Trump being Trump takes things to the next level. Like burying an ex wife on his golf course so he can call it a cemetery.

tell me your alternate narrative.
"But every break counts, and the former president has previously designated the plot as a farm because some trees on the site are turned into mulch used for flower beds"
She stated in her will "I, Ivana Maria Trump, being of sound mind, declare it my wish that I be laid rest over where those shrubs are near the sand trap on hole 7 at my ex husbands golf course" ?
No, I dont think it was left up to Donald. It was left up to the kids. Donald just pitched the idea and they went along, because, of course they did. -

Whatever happened to the big bands of yesteryear ? The likes of Glenn Miller , Tommy Dorsey ,Benny Goodman etc,etc.
Well, Glenn Miller's plane was either shot down or crashed over the English Channel in WW2. Congrats on your upcoming 100th birthday, smiddy3. You should hit the town in your zoot suit for old times sake. -

TV and the Media
by punkofnice ini look at tv and the media as all fiction.. i wonder if the media is now just a tool to cauterise the brain and zombify us?
i'm sure the uk's bbc does.
it seems to be a tool to brainwash people to buy into latest agenda or trend that must be followed.....or you're an outcast like a disfellowshipped one.

A guy got arrested for supplying drugs. They said the value was worth so many thousand £'s. If you knew the guy, you'd know he hadn't got access to that sort of money ever. Not to buy and not to sell. they said it's what the Police reported.
LOL. "Cop Math".
I purchase a new car for $35,000. 8 years later I sell it for $20,000. 5 years later that person sells it for $10,000 and 5 years after that the owner sells it for $6000. Had the car been seized for illegal activities at the beginning of the story, at the press conference, Cop Math would report the value of the vehicle as $71,000. -

I would hope that her family was doing this to respect her last wishes.
I'm sure her last wishes were to be buried on her 35 years ago ex-husbands golf course.

Given land and money a private cemetery is a good idea.
Its not exactly a private cemetery. It's his golf club. I can picture some errant drive and the drunk companions excitedly debating whether its gonna hit Trumps golden mausoleum and obelisk.
Also, aside from the potential tax break, being a cemetery will supposedly protect the golf course from being seized in case of bankruptcy. (which the majority of his ventures have had the tendency to fall into).
