How can someone post in "Read-only archives". Others post there, but I can't. Keith Olbermann for example

I cannot post Keith Olbermann Forum, because I am told it is...A Read Only Archive.

But, I note that other post in that Forum... If you don't believe me, then check it out

Lake Como Burst Its Banks In Italy

Source: CNN


A storm that brought heavy rain and violent winds to Northern Italy overnight and early Tuesday sent rapid floods through central Milan and caused Lake Como to breach its banks.

Several waterside bars were flooded at the lake -- a popular tourist attraction -- while civil protection authorities were forced to pump out water from areas nearby and erect mobile barriers.

The Seveso, a river that runs through the municipalities of Como, Monza e Brianza and Milan, also broke its banks, according to Italy's civil protection agency.

Parts of Milan became inaccessible, while social media posts showed water gushing down stairs into underground train stations and pedestrians falling down or clinging to poles during strong gusts of wind.

The city's safety councilor, Marco Granelli, said the winds felled trees, tore down scaffolding and ripped off roof tiles. Electricity was cut in several parts of the city as a precaution while authorities worked to clean up downed power lines.

Most Powerful Movie Ever Made..."Night and Fog" about the holocaust, or ..."Man's Inhumanity To Man."

"Night and Fog" ....Most Powerful Movie Ever Made..

30 minutes...This is most likely at your local library, Also it is on the internet
my review is at this site: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048434/reviews?ref_=tt_urv
7th review of ...Night and Fog

If you want to describe or give your audience a feeling for the holocaust, or "Man's Inhumanity To Man", then this is the vehicle to use..Show it..be warned, it is so powerful, that you will never forget what you see, neither will any of your viewers..It is impossible to describe, intermixing l955 footage of Auchwitz Concentration Camp, with captured Nazi footage which the allies found at the end of the war, and the scenes of American and British troops liberating the camps...In French, with English subtitles.. and scenes that are unforgettable and horrific. Even the sad music of death from this film plays in my ears, and I have not seen it in 15 years. Once you hear it, you will know.

This is the one to show if you want people to understand the truth of what happened and the reason for its reaction in today's current events....It is shocking in a special way. I showed it to my classes. Students were warned, and told what was coming, they said it would be "nothing" By the end some were crying and moaning in horror..

TO KEEP WEIGHT OFF, YOU ALWAYS NEED TO CHANGE YOUR EATING...ALWAYS.

I have lost 50 pounds, and kept it off for more than 35 years.
How? .... I stop eating before I am feeling full.

The full feeling comes later, if I have a full glass of water at the end of the meal.
Why? I had heart surgery and, after that, I lost weight, and know that losing that weight saved my life.
Yes, I recovered from the heart surgery. I am in my late 70s.

I try to walk up and down my stairs many times a day. (I got 14 stairs from first floor to 2nd floor)
I clean my apartment myself.

Before surgery, I had a house cleaner.
.............I didn't want to do it, & I can afford a "house cleaner"
............NOW, I CLEAN ALL THE ROOMS MYSELF....(if I am correct, cleaning the house is exercise)..
............Now, I bend and clean the floor, and even the basement. (the basement really doesn't need cleaning, but that
is exercise.

Now, I stand at the kitchen sink and wash my dishes, and then dry them with paper towels.
.......................AND YES, I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC DISH WASHER, THAT I NEVER USE.....
.............Why?........Because standing at the kitchen sink is exercise....Putting the dishes away is exercise.....
.....................IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT EXERCISE IS, READ SOME ARTICLES AND BOOKS ABOUT "EXERCISE"

ONE THT I READ 40 YEARS AGO, TALKED ABOUT BUS DRIVERS AND TICKET TAKERS IN LONDON IN THE 50S..
THE .......TICKET TAKERS WALKED UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS IN THE LONDON BUSES IN THE 50s ..............
................and ...TICKET TAKERS LIVED A LOT LONGER THAN THE BUS DRIVERS, BECAUSE THE BUS DRIVERS
...........................SAT ON THEIR ASSES ALL DAY DRIVING THE BUSES. THE TICKET TAKERS TOOK TICKETS AND
WALKED AROUND TAKING TICKETS........................(that is exercise) that one is a very famous study and
...........you will find it at google search. ..So, I walk up and down the stairs a lot, and stand at the sink and wash the dishes.

................EVERY LITTLE BIT OF EXERCISE WORKS...... (also, I try to get out and take a 20 minute walk every day.)
