Where's the "love" button when I need it? This is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing. I just shared it with pals on FB. I'm listening to classical music from Tokyo right now! 👍

I bought the first 3 or 4 albums in Canada and got the Capitol Records versions (like everyone else in North Am.) When I moved to Germany, I heard the original albums as The Beatles intended them to be. I bought the European versions and continued to for all their albums! 👍

I've said this before and I think it's pertinent... In the topsy-turvy world of my imagination, it is only a matter of time before people start tasing ICE agents and securing them with zip ties, removing their masks and disappearing them to who knows where. I'll wait. 👍

I was born in Montreal, but spent my baby-hood in Kingsport, King's County, NS. with my Mom and my grandmother (when my Dad was busy with the RCAF Korean Airlift). While growing up, I spent many summers in NS, and I miss the visits to Halifax. I love the place! Welcome to Bluesky! 👍

It has been reported that a member of Trump's team was responsible for the escalator mishap and his teleprompter malfunction. So much for hiring "the best people for the job". 👍

Hey humans! You need more balance. Whatever upsets you, change it, or let it go. Try and see things for what they really are. Be grateful for the good things (and there are many)! Oppose the bad things because they are the root of any unhappiness you may feel. Be kind. Don't hurt anyone.

I so wanted to press the "This guy is an A$$hat" button, but as usual, it wasn't there. 😒

Tomorrow he meets with Zelenskyy and allies. I hope they remind him that he has no cards, no deals, no power. He is morally, diplomatically and credibly bankrupt. If he really wanted to accomplish something concrete, he would sanction and tariff Russia. The king of word salad, maker of nothing.

Thoughts and prayers... maybe some hope.

As a response to "How are you?" one might say, "Could be better." I usually say, "I'm okay... I hope." 😉

It would be an appropriate touch if Zelenskyy (with his allies and supporters) reminded Trump that despite his threats and promises, and based on his actions and results, he (Trump) "holds no cards" to negotiate anything for anyone. 😒

"six times longer than Dr. Phil’s"... Excellent! That's an accomplishment worth being proud of! 👍 Keep up the great work!

O’Leary seldom knows what he's talking about. A king of bad advice. He's from Canada. Thank goodness he's pursued more money away from here. He's an embarrassment to our flag and an insult to everyone's intelligence. Don't listen to him... and don't pay him for his pointless opinion.

Sure... let them wear masks, but before they proceed with any actions, they should produce proper and complete I.D. and a valid warrant... and if they fail to do so, they should be arrested for kidnapping. 😒

...the last thing you'll get to say before they tase you! 😒 It would seem the U.S. used to have laws and a constitution that are now ignored by the current administration. ☹️
