@Rainmaker1973 What a wonderfully kind man. We need lots more of these stories ... and lots more of these people in the world.

[K1katman* @k1katman]

@Rainmaker1973 Another unsung hero ... until now. My condolences to his family. What an amazing man he was. I do hope there is an afterlife where he lives and where others can write sons about him and his bravery.

@Rainmaker1973 This certainly is an emotionally evocative post. The high school robotics team = beautifully thoughtful and kind and generous. Opposite of insurance companies, disgusting insurrance company.

@simonateba Mr. Steelman thank you for putting country before party and voting democrat, even if it conflicts with some of your political priorities and belief. You would be one of the people I would talk to if I were trying to bring the country together. Or less apart.

@simonateba I miss John McCain and I'm proud of and grateful to Liz Cheney. And I'm a democrat of moderate to conservative persuasian.

Now I am remembering the Knickerbocker Village playground and envisioning my friends and I challenging each other to swing high and higher. But none of us had the guts to swing full around. This makes me want to go back in time when we would take the subway to Coney Island and walk the boardwalk taking exciting rides until our money ran out. Of course, we always had at least one Nathan's Coney Island hot dog. I miss you Cyclone and Parachute Jump.

@Rainmaker1973 What? Where is this tomb? And why is there such a thing. Is there such a thing as tombs for radioactive waste vs for people? What's going to happen to fix this?

such a magnificent honoring. It makes me grateful for the moment of honoring/remembering. It also brings me great sadness for all those who died and the people who loved them. And all of us who lived or still live in The City. So sad, very sad. Take care of yourselves folks and be safe.

Scientists just cracked the multiple sclerosis code after decades of searching.

Two specific gut bacteria are triggering the disease, and they've proven it using identical twins and mice.

This changes everything we know about the pathology.
