Have the best birthday Porchlight!

If we don't the border emergency dealt with ASAP, conservative judges will be of less importance. Many lower level judges are elected, and, of course, past performance is no guarantee even with so-called conservative judges.

Godspeed Pagar. He was always an American patriot and defender in his comments.

I'm posting this now although the night crew may have answered it because it is going to take hours to catch up. For those in touch with Barbara about daddy's recent comments. Some people turned off the Recent Activity feature around the time people were getting Typepad accounts. I think daddy was one of those who did that. To reactivate, click on the avatar in the profile page and at the bottom of the page there is a place to activate it. There are links to the recent comments but it does not cover all comments going back. Wish it did.

jim nj thank you so much. What a day, what a memory for detail you have. It will be so much fun, and with no sore feet, to travel along with you and daddy.

Tom Maguire thank you so much for making your blog an such an extraordinary place. This is one piece of the amazing life daddy lived as he took us around the world with him. Thanks JIB for the Jody chant. Never heard of it but isn't that what happens so often here. One mention will inspire more from this equally amazing crew along for the ride on Just One Minute.

jim nj the travelogue is fabulous! Thank you so much both for arranging this for daddy and for sharing with us now. I have copied the installments but for some reason only the links in the text are working, the Posted by links are not. I will have to go back and fix them. This is just to let everyone know they are available in a document. This is just a start and if anyone wants it now let me know and we can arrange a share. I especially want the post links to work because the comments around them are very interesting too and worthy of reading and rereading. Thank you all.

TK says I feel tricked. This whole online world is like The Truman Show on steroids. I have treated it as a novelty first and as a real experience second. My email friends from here have made it out of the show and can sit on the sidelines with me laughing at the same things here that are taken so seriously. Usually I find your writing very clear. This has me bewildered. Maybe I should watch The Truman Show. Would you explain this more? If not here - I can provide another way. Thanks

jim nj When I taught 2nd grade in NYC, one of the favorite trips was the Staten Island Ferry. We would take the subway down and make the voyage. Favorite question - "Are we back in America now?" A marvelous trip especially in the spring, but always well worth it.

Thank you JOM for the comforting words. Daddy can't be replaced, but his legacy will live on. Thank you who met him for sharing your fond memories with those wanted to. Daddy often told of his time in NC as a child and, of course, his pride in his Tar Heels. By coincidence, the parallels with my time here in NC and Chapel Hill were strong, and I felt that if I hadn't met him, I would soon. What a wonderful gift he used to spark interest and bring his joy of life to all he touched with his person or words.

JamesD Prayers for you and your mother.

Momto2 Thank you for your inspiring courage. May your beloved husband rest in peace.

Merry Christmas JOM and so many thanks for the memories, the news. and the sound advice and comfort. What a crazy time we live in, such a great time to be alive.

Long time lurker, rarely caught up.

Extraneus thank you! Those little pop-up thingies don't work.

Posted by: Extraneus | November 22, 2018 at 05:09 PM I need that too! What is the brand?

Best Thanksgiving Wishes. Thank you TM and the JOM crew for all the news that fit to print every day. Now better than ever!

Gail Heriot https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/313431/ has a neat discussion of an ancestor who lived through the Salem witch trials. Comments are good too. Maybe daddy can add some more and may even find some new cousins. ;)

site:justoneminute.typepad.com pinandpuller Posted by: Extraneus | November 18, 2018 at 09:19 AM All good advice. It would be useful if you would put these remarks in the JOM wiki for reference. It is really quite amazing how much good advice this blog contains. I often remember who wrote something but am completely confused about where exactly.

sbw as RG would say yep, yep.

sbw I think you would find that all the people who signed up in this batch are being followed by that name. I have had a typepad profile for a fairly long time and it was a different bot then. I thought then and still do it was no big deal.

I realize there are many who don't do twitter, don't use facebook, flickr or other "social media". I started with the www when it was all text and not user-friendly. I was at first presentation of the really user-friendly web at our university, which was one of the earliest test sites. I guess I forget how it has become second nature to me. Sorry to get everyone in such a twitter. I think the home care folks are just collectors of names like the folks that have a million followers on Twitter or thousands on FB or Flickr. What you really need to worry about is your insurance, doctors, banks etc are doing with your data. Or as daddy can tell you -- the government. It may be that Tom will have to block them.

Thanks hoyden. I'll try again. I tried to block someone but I ended up just following and unfollowing several times. :(
