Thank you for the reminder: it is always good to set your clocks ahead or back, and then always change your smoke alarm in CO batteries. Because mine are hardwired, I don’t have to worry about the batteries, but I do have batteries in both of them. I end up having them change when I hear them start chirping. When they start doing that all I do is jump, so I feel like I wanna rip the thing off the wall, but I know that they are there for a reason – so I have them changed when it starts doing that!

No big multi million dollar check from the Government bail out/ stimulous yet huh??? ?

Spoon:  Lieutenant uhura is a legend in everyone's mind if they are true Star Trek fans. I read the article that announced her death yesterday, and one of the things that I found interesting was that she wanted to we have Star Trek TOS. She said she met Martin Luther King junior, and after she did that, he told her to stay in Star trek because she is a star and she was a groundbreaker. From what I see she was also a lovely lady who tried to do her very best, and it sounds like she loved the series. Her character has evolved and had evolved from the beginning, and she is indispensable if you are a ship captain because she keeps you on your toes and make sure all communications are monitored and taken care of.

Nichelle Nichols herself sounds like she had a very busy and full life. She will be missed, and I believe the only people that are alive would be:chekov, Sulu, Kirk, and Kyle . I believe most of the original series cast other than these are no longer with us but I can tell you every time we see a Star Trek death it kind of reminds me that they were stars in their time and they were groundbreakers, but nichelle Nichols being the first black actress to play her character was incredible. If you remember the original pilot where majel Barrett roddenberry played number one, NBC requested another pilot because they thought that was really weird having a first officer that was a woman, or having her as the second moon command of a ship. In the new pilot, of course Spock is the science officer and also the first officer, so both of those series were groundbreakers, and those will always be remembered in my Star Trek numbering scheme , I believe that the cage was numbered 099 . I'll always remember her as a character, and also remember her as a person an incredible woman who had a lot of drive and who will greatly be missed .

I thought so too

Thank you for reminding me of this! This was one of the things that really hit home for me. The United States is always been The one to keep everyone safe, but when they ended up dealing with Tahran and the ayatollah, this type of situation was unheard of, because the United States we’re so used to being able to “deal with someone in authority” and when the ayatollah and his men and the students ransacked at Embassy, we learned a new way of dealing with situation, because we were not prepared to be able to deal with it in the way we normal he would.

it sucks that we had to go through this type of nonsense for 444 days before someone would actually be able to help get our people home. I have no problem with the religion and I have no problem with people who practice it, but I do have a problem with individuals who decide to do things that possibly hurt on people. When it comes to the ayatollah and I ran it is hard to know what the hell you should be able to do, and you have to be very careful what you say and do over there, because the wrong person finds out about what you’re doing, and it can cause waves.  It sucks that we had to lose so many people in operation “eagle claw” to be able to try to rescue the hostages at desert one: when I think of that I always think of people who put their lives on the line to keep us safe: however when we’re dealing with the ayatollah, we are dealing with a whole new ballgame, and ever since we apparently agreed not to “sue Iran” for they did, we basically gave into them, to get everyone home.

I don’t know that, but I remember hearing stories about all those people who were asked to rescue those hostages. I believe there were eight people that died because of that miscalculation, and President Carter had to deal with that, but I still think that the way they should’ve dealt with this is to try to get them home faster, but since you’re dealing with Iran you don’t know what you were dealing with, and I’m not sure our people knew how to deal with such a response.

May we never forget the people who serve our country and whatever service they do, and may we never forget what they did to try to save our hostages over there.
