    That's not entirely correct about the satellite… Some satellites are in a fixed position in the sky in the exact same place all the time other ones are not… when do you didn't this guy they appear to be circling to the naked eye and can be seen for several minutes of the time as they cross your view

    gps, weather, television are probably stable in one place.. but they are not photography satellites .. there are just not enough of those high resolution photography satellites. which is probably a good thing when you think about it.

    Ugh...Just had a big family scare.

    My brothers wife has had lung cancer for over 10 years. Recently she became unable to swallow. I don't know if it was a new tumor or scar tissue from radiation or what.

    My brother isn't the warm fuzzy kind and we don't talk too often.

    She had surgery to have a feeding tube placed, yesterday.

    I got a call from my brother within the last hour. He said he'd gone home from the hospital for lunch and to let their little dog outside, and that he was in the car on the way back to the hospital when the doctor called and told him that his wife was "uresponsive". He told the doc to start life support.

    He was really afraid that she'd be dead when he got to the hospital and had me calling the funeral home and cemetery while he was driving.

    He called from the hospital and she was alert and responding. I even had him hold the phone to her ear so I could talk to her and I heard her trying to respond to me, even though she has a breathing tube in.

    Yikes.

    I'm a little shook up and still feeling somewhat emotional. I had to stop crying to make the calls to the funeral home.

    My sister in law is a fighter. She's the strongest woman I know. I told her to fight hard because I know that she still has alot more hell to give my brother than all this.

    Okay but they have airplanes that have high-resolution cameras every single country that has an Air Force also has airplanes it take pictures so why are they not using the ones I can fly and 50,000 feet to take a bunch of pictures and give them to us so that we can start searching to seriously why do they not do that there's got to be another reason

    Thanks Rolling. No problem with your post.

    She's coming and going right now. Sometimes responsive, other times unresponsive.

    They will do an MRI sometime tonight and of course no results until tomorrow.

    I just picked these from my garden. Normally I would pick the zucchini a little smaller but I didn't check for a couple of days and they grow so quick. This is the first time I've grown broccolini. There will be heaps of tomatoes ready soon too :)

    I should mention being 14 was 40+ years ago for me so I guess I'm really asking the older posters although the unions are free to express their experiences LOL

    sorry to hear that Aerianne..

    I dont know to many people I knew when I was a teenager.. in fact, Ive zero childhood friends around. I can however take the football teams photo and describe the crime or accident that took over half those away.. those are pretty crappy ghetto survival odds..

    I know unions… That was supposed to be Younghans… You know what a shock it's still spelled wrong… You get the gist of it…

    I am starting to think that may be it

    Is my enunciation that is the problem and likely that often times the TV is also on in the background and sometimes the TV gets to slip words into my posts when I'm using the voice recognition to text feature
