  1. Andavari I am 83 yo and live in a city where my last job took me, Tempe, AZ. [within Phoenix, AZ]. Tempe is the cleanest, best run City I have ever lived in and I have traveled and lived in more than I have wanted to remember. I do not care for Arizona as it is a "cowboy" State like Texas and most of the West, backward and not progressive. But little Tempe is an exception. Law enforcement is the best, our City government is exemplary. Tempe is the home of ASU Univ and the AZ Cardinals and very progressive. Years ago, when Phoenix wanted to build more freeways, Tempe wanted Light Rail instead. Arizona laughed but Tempe built their own Light Rail anyway. Now, Phoenix continues to expand the "Light Rail" throughout the Phoenix. It is now TEMPE that is laughing. We are trying very hard to become "green". I converted my house to Solar many years ago, including driving a "green" car. We are as "handicapped friendly" as I am handicapped. Our infrastructure is clean and maintained.... I have lived here for over 30 years and the first year here, I was amazed how CLEAN Tempe was and we never considered leaving. In my 83 years, it is the best place I have ever lived. One could say: We are a "CCleaner" City. Visit us sometime.
  2. Why Europe is less "Handicap..." I fully understand. It was not a negative comment but “just the facts”. HOPEFULLY, the entire World will ‘evolve’ to the positive, eventually, for the poor, handicap, Races…. But Europe was built to last, America was not. WE are a "throw-away" society caused by Capitalism and greed that runs amuck. PROFITS can not be made unless one throws everything away when one gets "tired" of it and was never made to last. Our Capitalist thrives on built-in obsolescent. We are encouraged to buy "NEW things" This is why we have ‘new’, shiny things no "charm" like Europe. But we are a country of the Worlds "rejects" as is Australia.... , yes, in the beginning, Britain, then the rest of the World and our STATUE from France says it all: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" The 'door' is not gold, but steel as steel is harder, stronger... Our Founders were Eastern Europe rejects. We are still like young children with a shiny toy but we were made that way. All we need to do is "grow up" and we will. One has to be ‘objective’ about history and not be critical. It is what it is.
  3. ps, my last name is "Reeves", and the "Jagman" is an tag a Employee put on me because I LOVE XKE' Jaguar's and used to have a small collection of XKE's and also a 1956 Triumph TR3
  4. After retirement at 72 [I never planned to retire but IBM had large layoff and I figured, it maybe time] , I took my first ' vacation'. Being raised poor, in the country, vacations were visiting relatives. We flew from Los Angeles to Paris, then "cruised" Italy for my Wife. We loved New Orleans, Cruising... I always wanted to visit England, Ireland...but I find Europe not "handicap friendly" as the U.S. but I am "Irish/English" by temperament and my DNA is "Western European". But old age caught up to me. Being a "super taster" Beer is bitter and harsh to taste but I do have one occasionally but the mild, lagers are better to me but I do like it cold.
  5. Is that a WARM: bitter, mild, stout, porter, India pale ale, Brown ale, and Old ale?
  6. Thanks, it is laziness as I have only been doing this for about 55-60 years [computers] and retired from IBM and had one of the original "PC.'s" with DOS 1.0. Thanks for the explanation of "Health Check is for non-technical users" as ASSUMING "makes an ass out of you and me".
  7. THANKS TO YOU BOTH. My "settings" are: 'REMEMBER HISTORY' So if I understand correctly, it is because I have always used "Health Check" since it was added as a feature. I always "manually" erase HISTORY myself so I never want the "system" to delete it for me.
  8. HISTORY in the FIREFOX BROWSER, it still "cleans our my FIREFOX history. Any way to make it leave my History alone? I have tried this many times but now it is getting me upset.
