When I was working Neesy, I would work the holidays because of the extra pay. (And I wouldn't have to cook the big dinner)

What Crime Did You Commit in Your Past Life?
Conducting the Underground Railroad
You were an outspoken abolitionist during the 19th century and made it your mission to do whatever it took to help slaves escape to freedom! This meant becoming a conductor of the Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses that were established in order to help slaves find their way into free states and Canada. While living in Kentucky in 1861, your home served as a sanctuary in which slaves could eat a hot meal and sleep in a warm bed before heading across the border to Indiana, a free state. When a bounty hunter suspected you were assisting the slaves, you were turned in and accused of being an agent of the Railroad. You were taken to court and served some jail time, but you were soon released when Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863, which freed not only the slaves, but you as well!

Another good one Netflix just added is ALIVE INSIDE. Really interesting look at how people with Alzheimers and related conditions connect with music.I'
I've only seen two of these. New York in the Fifties and And Everything is Going Fine. I'll have to check out the rest, thanks!
Ooo, that one sounds too sad. I avoid triggers that send me down the rabbit hole.Another good one Netflix just added is ALIVE INSIDE. Really interesting look at how people with Alzheimers and related conditions connect with music.
I thought it was pretty joyous, in a human sense. Dementia et al is pretty sad, but this is about music therapy, something I strongly believe can be useful in reaching people who might otherwise be unreachable. Think of the strong, almost visceral reaction you can have to some songs. Now imagine that hearing that song is a key to you recognizing a person, or being able to understand what's going on around you. Only smells are more powerful memory triggers than music (or so I've read ).Ooo, that one sounds too sad. I avoid triggers that send me down the rabbit hole.

Just received my Christmas present to myself in the mail today- a 1st printing hardback of East Of Eden by John Steinbeck! It's absolutely beautiful! The dust jacket is nearly flawless with hardly any fading to the spine at all, which for a 60 year old book is saying alot! I'm doing my happy dance!!!!
