3. Gotta admit I wake up screaming because of the little demons running around up there.

I yell at them to shut up. Stop bothering the same old tired topic. Move on to something pleasant - fields of grass, young love, etc.

But no, they're intent on their shuffling packets of memories back and forth, back and forth.

4. I play the BBC world service to the US radio program, & those plummy voices start "The American President"

And I swear....

6. Are you old enough to remember "Radio Free Europe"?

After WWII and through the 1950's into the 60's the Allies used to broadcast news by radio to the communist countries in eastern Europe. Of course the Soviets hated it but they had no way to shut it down. We would give them the real news of the non-communist world, along with American music and music from western Europe. Americans actually donated to keep this going, and it was a wonderful thing knowing that people who were trapped behind the Iron Curtain could receive these programs.

This BBC broadcast that you've described reminds me of "Radio Free Europe" ... except it's aimed at us!!!

7. Oh hell yes. I grew up in metro Detroit. Polish, English & a Hungarian dialect

That I can swear in has been useful

5. So much negative, horrible, disgusting shit going on, AND costs ARE soaring. Middle class near collapse. By design.

Average age of first time home buyers is now 40?? We have really jeapordized our futures; big time. In so many ways.
