This is my brother, he lost his battle with cancer a few hours ago. This picture was taken in 1968 when he was flying a Huey "slick" and dropping LERPs and extracting them out of Bien Hoa, South Vietnam. On one of his missions he extracted a platoon under fire and lost 2 feet of his rotor blade and still got everyone home, received several medals for heroism.

He had no regrets, he lived a good full life. But the old guy you shuffling into Walmart, this is what he may have looked like 50 or 60 years ago. I will miss his humor and his fearlessness.

Prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Praise God for a life well-lived and for Men and Women willing to give the ultimate Sacrifice!

Worldle is impossible. Does anyone play that without a map?

I try my best to not. I've gotten 3 right in a little over a week. Those times without a map. Not great odds, but just trying to do it straight up mostly.

If I really have no idea exactly where my closest guess is or what region I need to be guessing in, I'll look to see where my last guess is to get an idea of roughly where I need to be guessing. I did accidentally see the answer once for Eritrea, but I don't go looking for the answer by any means.

Most times I don't look because I have some ideas, but bomb in the end. It is tough, for sure.

Globle helps too. The 2 together are a powerful learning tool. And fun.

Wow, what a story. Prayers for all of you. Nothing but mad respect for anyone who served and especially mad respect for soldiers who served like this.

Thank you for posting this and I am sorry that your brother died. Praying peace and comfort for all of you. True hero’s are right in front of us every day and we don’t take a minute to realize who they really are.

So it seems people that are still playing thru original website had a slightly different word today than people that play thru NYT website - how weird!

Strange. The NYT one wasn't bad. I think some accounts have had trouble switching over apparently.

 

[Devo182]

Yesterday's was pretty difficult. I got it down to Eastern Europe, but didn't want to check a map and missed after guessing all the countries around it.

Today's was easier.

Opposite here. Though I always use Czech as my bearing in Europe because of it's unique shape.

Today's was much tougher for me. Last guess got it. And maybe, again, because it's beside a globle answer from the other day. The 2 sites seem to be on the same wavelength recently

#2 I'd probably start with this one Dre/Snoop/50/Eminem, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Michael Jackson, or Katy Perry (mainly with Missy Elliott cameo setting things off) I also liked watching J Lo and Shakira, but I will admit it's not for the singing or the music that I was enthralled

All I can say is I'm pretty glad we at least get some decent ones these days. I looked back at the early 90s/late 80s "shows" and woof...

Yeah, other than Michael Jackson they had some terrible shows. And anything prior was even badder than those.

I’m so sorry, but what a blessing to live a good full life and to do it without regrets. May his memory and his spirit bring you and everyone who loved him comfort.

Your fault for listening to a corporal who prayed a lot and made turkey calls.

Why are you telling all of VN my password, dude? Not cool.

I don’t think NIL is that big of a change from the old way of doing things… except this time more programs can pay without penalties where it used to be a select few at a time able to do that. Money has always been a part of recruiting big players. That’ll stay the same. I think the bigger issue here is the Transfer Portal. It’s madness needs to be more restrictive timelines to enter, exit etc.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I know he's good but is there any indication he's like the chosen one?

Has a better arm than the Chosen One….

 

[VolNash17]

Can’t wait for the basketball game tonight. Cautiously optimistic we can pull out the win… Containing Kentuckys inside game will be key. Them not having Ty Ty Washington helps a TON. Guy is a stud no question. 76-71 VOLS

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Taking Vols -1.5. We are insanely good at home and Washington/Toppin out for Cats. Give me the good guys.
