Does anyone remember the Billy Jack movies? The theme song, ''One Tin Soldier?'' Think 1971-1973. The movie itself was based on hatred many had against Indians, but it applies to all races. An anti-war song, first sung by The...

John Beasley I remember the song and movies. I enjoyed both of them and had a basic understanding of the meaning at that time. If I listen to the song today and look at the world today it can be applied in almost every facet. One country wanting to wipe out another...

We played a "new" team tonight. They were good guys, and decent athletes, but we beat them 28-2. In my younger days, baseball and softball were big parts of my identity. As an old fart, I care more about music and developmental...

Several years ago I was in one of our military services and had just reported into a new base. I was given a check-in sheet and went about finding the different departments, hearing what they did, and introducing myself. I got...

John Beasley You're welcome. He didn't care for me much and we really didn't have very much interaction after that. In his capacity as CEA he would get questions / complaints from other enlisted personnel at the base and if the issue involved the personnel office then I...

John Beasley I was fortunate enough to play softball for a nationally ranked team in the late 80's. It was a lot of fun traveling to different parts of the US and competing against other top ranked teams. But now that I'm older I've turned to Senior Softball (ages 50+) and...

John Beasley You're welcome and thank you for your support of Tom. Looking back on the question now, I guess if I bought my department heads favorites I'd be a "suck up".

John Beasley @RebeccasFarm - It wasn't playing so to speak, it was just playing in my head. But I really enjoy live music and go to concerts every chance I get.

John Beasley Without knowing a whole lot more about your marriage through the years it's really difficult to comment. Like you, my wife is younger than me and most mornings she gets up with me and makes me something to eat on my ride to work and makes my lunch. So if I...

John Beasley Depending on how much you like your super, you may be able to negotiate reduced rent based on losing access to a portion of your garage. But if everything is good (with the exception of a lack of planning) then why create waves. But don't rely on my opinion...

John Beasley @AmbiePam - Exactly. What is really like is how they can deny a medication without viewing any of your medical history. I mean Doctors go to school for years and the person processing the claim at the insurance company may not have even finished high school.
