What to think about businesses that make it impossible to talk to a human being…

4 Comments

I've been trying to get an issue resolved on my old place since early February. For some reason, a mortgage lien keeps popping up and the company that has it on there, I've been trying to reach. The trouble is Company UNLUCKY was sold to Company BIG, which was sold to or merged with Company … Continue reading What to think about businesses that make it impossible to talk to a human being…

#091–Was There a Better, Less Costly Way to do the Normandy Invasion in WWII?

Joyeux Noel, the film that shows humanity and Peace on Earth in the most inhumane, not-peaceful situation.

I love this film. But I love it so much that I have to have a specific time and environment to watch it in for Christmas.

This year, it will happen when dad finally goes to … Continue reading Joyeux Noel, the film that shows humanity and Peace on Earth in the most inhumane, not-peaceful situation.
