Tinka, you speak from many eras and I have grown to appreciate and enjoy that. We don't often agree on specifics, but in many ways we agree in principle. I speak from many cultures, countries, and languages, and can understand the wild abandon that sometimes comes with that. I try hard to spell correctly in American English, but my early education and background often overrides, especially in intense moments. So as I watch your writing, I grow to value you more and more. You represent much that no one knows or understands anymore. As an avid student of history, I recognize so much of what I have read and studied as I read what you write... You are like a living treasure trove of history. Don't take that badly. My mom is too. She is 89 years old, 40 some grandkids, and 20 some great grandkids, and a 2nd gen SDA. She grew up living a few doors down from HMS Richards Jr, and as I read what you write, I have to chuckle, because you are waaayyyy to much like my mom.
