MaryMagdaline's JournalSuperficial observations
I react to voices and accents. I just do. Probably more so than looks. Can’t help it.
Julian Castro had a strong voice last night. Maybe the best for a big room, big crowd
Booker ... good sound
My guy, Inslee, has a gravely but strong voice. NW accent a bit Canadian-sounding to my ears, but definitely a voice that could be listened to for 8 years.
Elizabeth Warren ... decent voice, not powerful mixed southern and TV bland ... will hold up. Not her best attribute but so good at content, makes you want to listen
Klobuchar ... good voice/not too Minnesotan for the ears
Gabbard ... good voice little Canadian sounding
Does anyone else react positively or negatively to voices?
Paying online via PayPal versus credit card
Does anyone here have any opinions one way or the other whether PayPal is preferable to credit card payment when buying items on line?
Last few times I’ve made online payments, PayPal popped up as the first choice. One site (I forget what I was paying for)(flowers I think) was really pushing PayPal.
Is one method more secure than another? Any advantages to PayPal?
75 years ago my 20 year old dad was dropped in Normandy
He landed in the water and struggled to get the parachute off before he would drown or suffocate. He pulled it off, looked up, and witnessed his 21 year old lieutenant get shot in the head. My dad was next in command for his squad. Had to scamper around looking for his buddies.
His thoughts on hitting the water: “This is the stupidest thing.”
I learned that war was mostly stupid. And fought by children under the command of old men. And that far better men than my dad (according to him) were slaughtered. That the only thing that made war bearable was the Pax Americana, the Western democratic alliance, NATO, detente.
None of which could be taught to 45. As Mr. Khan told us before November 2016, 45 has sacrificed nothing; he cannot possibly understand loss.
RIP all those of 6/6/44. All 8 of Dad’s children know who you were and what you did.
