It never occurred to me.

Thanks. I opted out of MyHealthRecord before it kicked in. This vindicates me: the justification for them is to streamline services but, from what you told me, they are not even doing that (in this instance).

What sticker?

Could be worse: having The Public Trustee or Public Guardian/Advocate hijack her parents’ lives.

A news reader was disciplined at first for playing a snippet but authorities backed down.

That article is wrong in that “Express Youself” was played on repeat in protest well beyond 4:30pm and therefore completed a full 24 hours.

You misunderstood me. We are on the same page. However this tangent intrigues me.

I am old enough to remember the JJJ transition to national youth station. I never met Frollows but his ambient show on Sunday nights was my favorite. Definitely not youth music. Did it get axed too at that time?

Unless your laundering interferes with Trump’s laundering.

Why trust anything other than BOM or ABC for something like this?

Trump playbook.
