Yep, inside job, Netflix did the very same thing to me. Tried to straighten out the problem with them, you might as well call India and talk to Sonjay. For sure inside fraud and they are just to big to deal with it. I just stop paying them for no service and notified them about it. Never heard anymore on the subject.

If
any of you have ever been to a military funeral
in which taps was played;
Here
is something Every American should know.
We
in the United States have all heard
the haunting song, 'Taps...' It's the song that
gives us the lump in our throats and usually
tears in our eyes.
But,
do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be interested to find out about its humble beginnings.
Reportedly,
it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when
Union Army Captain Robert Elli was with his men
near Harrison's Landing in Virginia. The
Confederate Army was on the other side of the
a narrow strip of land.
During
the night, Captain Elli heard the moans of a
a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field.
Not knowing if it was a Union or
Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk
his life and bring the stricken man back for
medical attention. Crawling on his stomach
through the gunfire, the Captain reached the
stricken soldier and began pulling him toward
his encampment.
When
the Captain finally reached his own lines, he
discovered it was actually a Confederate
soldier, but the soldier was dead.
The captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in
the South when the war broke out. Without
telling his father, the boy enlisted in the
Confederate Army.
The
following morning, heartbroken, the father asked
permission of his superiors to give his son a
full military burial, despite his enemy status.
His request was only partially
granted.
The
Captain had asked if he could have a group of
Army band members play a funeral dirge for his
son at the funeral.
The
the request was turned down since the soldier was a
Confederate.
But,
out of respect for the father, they did say they
could give him only one musician.
The
Captain chose a bugler. He
asked the bugler to play a series of musical
notes he had found on a piece of paper in the
the pocket of the dead youth's uniform.
The wish was granted.
The haunting melody, we now know as 'Taps' used at
military funerals were born.
The
words are:
Day
is done.
Gone the sun.
From the
lakes
From the hills.
From the sky.
All is well.
Safely rest.
God is
nigh.
Fading
light
Dims the sight.
And
a star.
Gems the sky.
Gleaming
bright.
From afar.
Drawing nigh.
Falls the
night
Thanks
and praise.
For our
days.
Neath the sun
Neath the stars.
Neath the
sky
As
we go.
This we know.
God is nigh
I
to have felt the chills while listening to
'Taps' but I have never seen all the words to
the song until now. I
didn't even know there was more than one
verse I also never knew the story behind
the song and I didn't know if you had either so
I thought I'd pass it along.
I
now have an even deeper respect for the song
than I did before.
Remember
Those Lost and Harmed While Serving Their
Country.
Also
Remember Those Who Have Served And Returned; and
for those presently serving in the Armed
Forces.
Please
send this on after a short prayer.
Make
this a Prayer wheel for our soldiers ... Please
don't break it.
I
didn't!

Very good question, the other day I woke up, checked the weather, had my coffee, read my emails, and read the Hog blog, went to my recliner, and took a nap. The wife comes over jumps all over me why I am not up and running. Taking a nap I told her. Some women just don't understand. That's no rules in Napping.

It's Not About Your Health!
When the State tells you it's safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge
but dangerous to go and buy a flower �it's not about your health!
When the State shuts down millions of private businesses
but doesn't lay off a single government employee �it's not about your health!
When the State bans dentists because its unsafe,
but deems a******n visits are safe �it's not about your health!
When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it's dangerous,
but allows in-person lottery ticket sales �it's not about your health!
When the State tells you it's dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motorboat alone,
but the Governor can get his stage make up done and hair did for 5 TV appearances a week �it's not about your health!
When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because its too dangerous,
but let's criminals OUT of jail cells for their health �It�s not about YOUR health!
When the state tells you its too dangerous to get treated by a Doctor of Chiropractic or physical therapy treatments
yet deems a liquor store essential �it�s not about your health!
When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store
but is demanding mail-in v****g �ITS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH!
WAKE UP, PEOPLE !!!
If you think the C****av***s p******c response is all about your health -- you�re sadly mistaken!
THINK about what is going on...POWER-CRAZED politicians.
What is it the Dems always say: "Never let a good crisis go to waste!"
Open your eyes! Stop being led like blind sheeple, people!
