"Dear Google group owner or manager,
 
We're writing to let you know about changes we're making to the settings experience of Google Groups.
 
In response to your feedback, we're updating the Groups' settings experience starting May 6, 2019. The goal is to make it easier for you to manage and configure your groups.
 
About these changes:
 
We're removing some rarely-used settings and features, and we're combining similar settings. Learn more about the settings changes.
 
We'll start rolling out these changes on May 6, 2019, though you might not see changes until May 21, 2019.
 
When the changes take effect, we'll automatically update the settings for existing groups to map to the new experience.
 
Important notes:
 
Some group members may lose access to group management features. Depending on your current settings, some group members who currently can access specific group management features may lose that access. To make sure group members have the right access, you may want to audit your groups and adjust the settings before May 6, 2019.
 
Settings for groups you currently own or manage will be updated to match the new settings. Note: You can change your group settings at any point.

Thanks. I see what it is now and likely I will be dropped, years ago
we had two nauseauous people arrive in our local group, so I set up a
private group until we felt they had lost interest and moved on. So
it has now been inactive for several years :)

I bought the pint of bourbon because I wanted to experiment with
ideas using it. On the same day though, I bought 2 of those small
bottles.
 
Small (50 ml) bottles but good for a sample before you buy
larger.
My other need was something to pour on a fruitcake.
I bought one of brandy, tasted it and it wasn't so good.
 
Other little bottle was "Jim Beam Apple" (70 proof)
(Apple liqueur infused with Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey)
 
I tasted this and it tasted amazingly nice, just straight shot. I
poured a little on that fruitcake and it was good. I'll probably
buy a bottle of this stuff next time. It's actually very tasty
stand alone for drinking. The only "hard stuff" that I've ever
liked.
 
BTW, those little 50ml bottles only cost $1.25 each. Cheap enough
to sample or to use in one cooking application. :)

Yes - Trump who never showed any interest in religion, realised or was

abortions etc.

Now they are trying to roll it back as successfully as they have
rolled back over abortion clinics in Missouri and Alabama. They went
round another way, demanding clinics install full operating theatres
(which was totally unnecessary for their purpose) and so the clinics
fell to monetary problems. Rich people?? Well their wives or
girlfriends can just fly north to get an abortion.

Why Trump Will Win in 2020
 
Americans have seen real improvements in their lives during his presidency.
 
David Catron by DAVID CATRON
March 7, 2019
 
"In his closing remarks after the only presidential debate of the 1980 campaign, Ronald Reagan famously looked into the camera and asked the voters, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" This boiled down that year's contest to a question that most voters eventually ask themselves, consciously or not, in every election involving an incumbent president. The obvious answer in 1980 was, "No," and Jimmy Carter became unemployed. The same implicit question will determine the outcome of the 2020 election, and President Trump's fate. Fortunately for the nation, the clear answer will be an unequivocal, "Yes."
 
Indeed, according to Gallup, the general public has already decided on the answer: "Fifty percent say they are better off today than they were a year ago… the first time since 2007 that at least half of the public has said they are financially better off than a year ago." To put this in historical perspective Gallup points out, "Only 11 times in 109 polls stretching back to 1976 have at least half of those polled said they were in better financial shape than they had been a year prior." And the good news doesn't end there. A record number of Americans are optimistic about where their personal finances are headed during the next 12 months:
 
'Americans' optimism about their personal finances has climbed to levels not seen in more than 16 years, with 69% now saying they expect to be financially better off "at this time next year"… only two percentage points below the all-time high of 71%, recorded in March 1998 at a time when the nation's economic boom was producing strong economic growth combined with the lowest inflation and unemployment rates in decades...'
 
This is why the Democrats in the House have doubled down on their investigative overreach and hysterical characterizations of the President. It is why House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) has taken to suggesting that Trump is a "dictator." This is indicative of sheer panic. Nadler and the rest of the Democratic leadership know that, unless the economy takes a dive in the next twelve months or they somehow manage to force the President out of office, the voters will pull the lever for the presidential candidate whom they trust most on the economy. And that candidate's name will be Donald J. Trump.
 
But the Democrats and their friends in the media have done their best to spin the nation's economic gains as bad news for ordinary Americans. After they tried to give erstwhile President Obama retroactive credit for the improved economy and the howls of laughter stopped, they exhumed many of the moldering arguments they used when the economy improved during the Reagan era — even such withered clichés as "trickle-down economics" and "income inequality." And, all too predictably, economist cum columnist Paul Krugman has suddenly spotted a worldwide recession looming ominously on the horizon:
 
'There is a significant chance the world economy is headed for a recession in 2019, according to Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman.… When asked whether investors should expect to see a recession in the coming months, Krugman replied: "I think that there is a quite good chance that we will have a recession late this year (or) next year." He highlighted President Donald Trump's tax cut stimulus as one area of concern, saying the program was "not very effective."..'
 
But the people who have benefited most from Trump's economic policies don't read the New York Times. Nor do they devote a lot of angst to the value of the euro. Democratic propaganda notwithstanding, the beneficiaries of tax reform are not "rich." They are, in fact, working people who had enormous difficulty finding jobs during the anemic economy that the Democrats and Obama told them was the "new normal." And those who were lucky enough to be employed don't see the raises, bonuses, and tax cuts they have received during the past year as the "crumbs" Nancy Pelosi sneered at in January of 2018.
 
Out here in the real world beyond the Beltway, working people don't enjoy the luxuries that people like Pelosi take for granted. They certainly can't count on the lucrative lifetime jobs that congressional Democrats call "public service." When the demand for employees increases to the point at which it exceeds the supply of workers — and that's where we are now — wages go up for those with jobs as well as those seeking them. This makes a real difference in the lives of real people. And these are the very people the Democrats claim to represent — blacks, Hispanics, Asians, women, etc. As the Wall Street Journal points out:
 
'All sorts of people who have previously had trouble landing a job are now finding work. Racial minorities, those with less education and people working in the lowest-paying jobs are getting bigger pay raises and, in many cases, experiencing the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for their groups. They are joining manufacturing workers, women in their prime working years, Americans with disabilities and those with criminal records, among others, in finding improved job prospects after years of disappointment...'
 
All of this has happened on Trump's watch. This is not a coincidence. The President is an unapologetic advocate of free-market capitalism. He understands that tax cuts for individuals and businesses — combined with aggressive deregulation — stimulate economic growth and job creation. That translates into improvements in the lives of real people and a general sense of optimism about the future. Are the voters going to give that up for pie-in-the-sky promises from a leftwing Democrat who can't explain how to pay for them, yet insists that the President is a crook? Nope. Trump, warts and all, will win in 2020..."

Why don't some of these women simply use some common sense to avoid abortion...I mean birth control is universally and freely available...or they could "just say no" to the coital act that might lead to pregnancy...but some gals are simply lazy and so they resort to abortion as a means of birth control...no one's fault but their own!

Could backfire though. Even moderate Dems are thinking the far left is
loony and may vote against them. I think AOC will crash and burn too.
Aside from wacky ideas, she may have some problems with some of her PAC
finances.

US politics is quite polarized, and the Democrats, while right of centre
compared to most countries, at the left side of the US political scene.
Your millennials would be too extreme to be absorbed into the Democrat
side. That would split the left wing vote. We saw an example of that
in Canadian federal politics some years back when the PC party was
losing people to upstart parties that where more conservative. They
lost candidates and voters to the new and further right parties. They
united and won a majority government.
 
 
Them's the facts, but feel free to rebut with an ad hominem.

Don't forget the ferret factor. I came home from the grocery
store one morning and put groceries away. One item was a 24-pack
of toilet paper. I just set that on the bathroom floor until
later I'd open it and put the rolls up on the closet shelf.
 
Then I let the ferrets out to play and I continued with my
chores. Well, first thing ferrets do when they get out is to
check out everything in the entire house to see if anything is
new. After that, they would come to see me.
 
A long time went by with no ferrets greeting me so I figured they
were up to some mischief again. I finally found both of them in
the bathroom. They has discovered my new pak of toilet paper.

"International Women's Day 2019: History, theme and importance
The day isn't simply a celebration — it's a call to action for everyone to continue to push for complete gender equality.
 
March 8, 2019
 
By Olivia Roos
 
International Women's Day has celebrated the economic, cultural, political and social achievements of women for more than 100 years. From Greta Thunberg becoming an international sensation with her campaign for climate change last year to Chloe Kim snowboarding loops around Olympic records at the PyeongChang Games in 2018, women across the globe have been challenging stereotypes and the status quo.
 
The day isn't simply a celebration — it's a call to action for everyone to continue to push for complete gender equality.
 
1. WHAT IS ITS HISTORY?
The early 20th century was a time when women were becoming more active in their protests against oppression and gender inequality, leading marches and campaigns to demand equal rights. According to the official International Women's Day website, during the International Conference of Working Women in 1910, Clara Zetkin of Germany's Social Democratic Party proposed that a day be set aside every year across the world to celebrate women and reinforce their demands. The proposal was ultimately accepted and put into practice, starting in Germany and Europe and spreading across the globe over the years.
 
42 YEARS, 7 MONTHS AND 16 DAYS
... the length of time between when a constitutional amendment granting a woman's right to vote was introduced in the U.S. Congress (Jan. 10, 1878) and when it was finally ratified (Aug. 26, 1920).

2. WHEN IS IT OBSERVED?
The first International Women's Day was observed March 8, 1914. Even though International Women's Day was decided upon in 1910, the tradition of celebrating it on March 8 took a few more years to decide upon.
 
In 1975, the United Nations announced that International Women's Day would be an official day of observance for all of its member countries. Years later, the world body also instituted annual themes to promote the celebration of the day, such as "Celebrating the Past, Planning for the Future" and "World Free of Violence Against Women."
 
47%
... of the U.S. workforce is made up of women.
 
3. WHAT IS THE 2019 THEME?
This year's theme is #BalanceforBetter, meant to promote a future in which both men and women are equal in professional status, media perception, the positions they hold in government and more. Whether it's men supporting their female coworkers or women pushing into the STEM field, everyone has a part in promoting #BalanceforBetter. STEM programs stress education in science, technology, engineering and math.
 
1/6
... the ratio of active duty female U.S. military service members to their male counterparts.
 
4. WHAT ABOUT A COLOR?
Purple is the internationally recognized color to symbolize women while the combination of the colors green, purple and white is meant to represent women's equality, according to the IWD website. Purple, or the combination of those colors, may be displayed to celebrate International Women's Day.
 
9.7%
... of U.S. couples in which the wife earned at least $30,000 more than her husband.
 
 
5. HOW IS IT CELEBRATED?
Every country has its own special tradition for celebrating International Women's Day. In Italy, for example, the day is celebrated by giving women a mimosa blossom. You can celebrate the day on social media by posting pictures of yourself with your hand out like a set of scales and using the hashtags #BalanceforBetter and #IWD2019. People also share posts of themselves celebrating the women in their lives and showing how they are actively working to support women.
 
70%
... women with children younger than 18 who participate in the U.S. labor force
 
6. WHY IS IT STILL OBSERVED?
Women have come a long way since that conference in 1910, and many people believe that most of the battles have already been won for women. But according to the IWD website, women are still not getting equal pay, there are lower proportions of women to men in government positions, and women's education is still being withheld across the world. Battles have been won, but the battles aren't over yet..."

Either way it does not matter, there is nothing at all with a person
being vegetarian or vegan. In fact it is a much much healthier way to
live. I have often considered it, having finally figured out how to
make tofu and soy milk, but I like bacon and sausage and steak and
sesame chicken and general tso's chicken way too much to ever give it
up.
