  I'm waiting to see if it makes a difference in attendance and zoom pictures being on.

  It is always fun to read the part for elders eyes only.

  The day the music died.

  by Fisherman in

  2. entertainment

  is there any new music or singers whatsoever nowadays or just junk?

  and how about movies, besides documentaries is there anything at all, any movie at all, any new actor at all that that has any real worth to watch and enjoy or is it all a boring waste of time.

  There are good movies and music made. It is just hard to find. Romance stories ( not romantic, look it up), and folk ( people music) are timeless

  2022 Convention Sat. Afternoon part 1

  i found it ironic that the symposium "put away peace wrecker inappropriate boasting".

  was presented by a helper to the publishing committee.

  and all of the other talks were given by, if not gb members, but by helpers to the various committees.

  I have never heard any boasting 🤥

  I'm Jesus' brother, pioneer, elder, give good talks......never heard.

  Measuring d__ks comes to mind.

  Saturday I learned it is a personal choice to attend funerals/ weddings -- so don't do it. And go to meetings to feel better. Instant mood changes

  Is burying someone on a golf course tacky?

  trump'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?.

  Agricultural land taxis a universal tactic. Behind me is wheat which is mowed for straw every 5 years , the time the law allows. Eventually it will be condos.

  People with 5 acres keep a goat to claim farm status.

  It us not like trump is doing something different than others

  Given land and money a private cemetery is a good idea. Here you need a half section (320 acres). I have visited some from curiosity. The old affluent neighborhood ( mansions, large homes with carriage houses)we worked in service has gravestones from long gone and unrelated people in backyards on city lots.

  As for Trump, people want to pee on graves, vandalize them, dig souvenirs, and a few idolize him. Best to control it.

  The fear of covid is NOT a factor in most zoom attendance. Old age, crippling seats, boring parts, travel, dress codes, all are reasons. Doing zoom easily saves an hour or more. The so called association is a joke; tgat would come from a forbidden picnic.

  Change pass codes and give them to only ones they deem sick enough?
