@carmahaz @Stace there are countries that have lists of approved names and if you want something not on the list you have to get government approval.
Which would stop stuff like this
"Couple who named their baby after Hitler..."

@Stace borders on child abuse...
@altamaha I adore your sarcasm. Yes indeed. Hitting the nail on the head.
@Madken65 We can hope that will still be so.

“By the middle of the century, you’re going to live in a multipolar world,” Blair said. “In those circumstances, the West should stay united and Europe should stand alongside America, because in the end . . . we’re countries that believe in democracy and freedom and the rule of law. . . .
@CherNohio Be safe and warm. When it was early in our married life we lived in a “little house in the big woods” up on the mountain. When storms were a-comin we’d store up wood & food (diapers for the babies)& water because our water lines would plug up&we wouldn’t be able to get up to the spring until it calmed down. I always felt, in the foolishness of youth, adventurous as the creek turned into a white water beauty & the noise of the rain (never snow here) would pound upon the roof.
@annamuneca Oh my, we had to throw our windows open all the way because it was too warm to sleep.
Scary stuff driving those roads, especially if you are a rooky as well. Stay Safe & warm.
@CherNohio From all I’ve read (and I’ve read volumes about insomnia) what you did is the right thing. From what I remember from researching my issue, you should never lie abed longer than 45 minutes without sleep. Get up do something active (I scrub floors) and head back to bed again when you feel tired. Only problem is when there isn’t enough time when you finally feel tired again. My newest insomnia activity is combing my collie MacGregor.
@Andynowackiv2 Looks like a scary place...haunted
@InvaderGzim Yeah we’re ma & pa & it’s 8:00 for us. Then again we are up at 3 AM. Then again praise-God we are not part of the base.

Otherwise, we’re going to find that as this century progresses and my children and grandchildren work out where they stand in the world, the West is going to be weaker. And that’s bad for them and bad for all of us.”

@yogapaddlerun @Evvie Take from one who knows. Geese can be scary. How scary? Very scary. They will chase you out and peck on your car door and window flapping wings and making a God awful racket, until you do the right thing...and leave. My youngest should probably have therapy due to ‘goose terror’ ptsd.
@Evvie I mixed your home defense convo, but unconventional old-fashioned guard goose may be helpful?
Geese make a lot of noise and make good guards.
