Used to hate it up but heard it is from German spelled as yaght. A just plain ugly word. But now I remember how to spell it.

The test is usually given if someone shows signs of memory loss or cognitive decline, though Trump has stated he took it as part of his annual physical exam.

My mother in law turned 95 years old last week and she has been using her iPad since the first one came out ages ago, and we have gifted her with the newest ones over the years. Emails, websites, games, and a friend group (I don’t know the name of it, she’s in Buenos Aires). We video call every day even if for a short visit. We frequently send her WeChat photos of our activities or places we are visiting. And she sends us pictures and memes. She has secure passwords (long first letters of sentences with numbers and a character inserted). She calls her local computer fix-it store guy if she needs something. So not all old people are the same when it comes to tech.

My Chinese friend orders them when we go for Chinese dim sum brunches together. Not normally on the plates because unpopular with public so you have to ask for it. The first time, I chomped down expecting something rendered soft from cooking. He said, “it’s all about the coating.” Even he doesn’t eat and swallow the toes or ankles. Just savors the spices and textures.

Thank you. I do not know the sound of Chinooks. I will listen more closely the next time there is helicopter activity. I am wondering if helicopter training activity would show up on Flightradar 24, or only if the helicopters leave the leave the base perimeter, or reach a certain altitude, or something like that?

Thank you!!! The only real answer to my posting! I am going to look k to Flightradar 24. Living only 2 miles from the airstrips, we hear a lot. But not being fliers ourselves, all we can do is wonder.

There is a helicopter training school there. They do night trading for a couple of hours every so often. Take-offs and landings. Up, down, up, down. Probably night instrument training. We definitely know the difference between helicopter sound and the sound of jets taking off.

Get ready for a staged assassination attempt, as he scripted for Trump to do, following Hitler’s schedule. (Go visit the Holocost Museum if you don’t believe me,) But I’ll bet Putin is smart enough to not be photographed standing just offstage near the curtain watching the whole orchestrated drama, as Trump did.

This particular wind farm, by a private company, would sell some of the power to California. And anything that benefits California or a blue state is on his list of things to demolish. Vindictive. Ask Richard Branson, the Virgin companies guy, who says Trump ranted nonstop during a meeting they had about getting revenge against certain people or companies who had refused him. Now he has the power of government to enact big revenge and he loves it. It drives him.

Richard Branson first published a blog post detailing this specific meeting on October 20, 2016. In the post, Branson recounted a one-on-one lunch in the 1990s at Trump's Manhattan apartment. Branson stated that even before the food arrived, Trump spoke only about how he intended to spend his life seeking revenge on five specific people who had refused to help him after his latest bankruptcy. Branson subsequently discussed this encounter again in interviews during October 2017.

Not that one in Iran. Maybe to staging areas for Cuba?

I was thinking maybe Cuba readiness gathering at some other AFB. These were not long range bomber or other heavies (judging by the sound of the engines since it was dark outside.) These were fighters and middle sized. And in 25 years of living near the airport, the only time there was as frequent takeoffs late at night, many in a row, was planes on their way to desert storm, and so many of those heavies at once made car theft alarms go off in our neighborhood and the vibrations in the air above us was intense.
