re: The "God Bless the USA" bible is the British KJV translation?

KJV is in the public domain with no copyright restrictions in the US. It means more profit to the seller without having to pay for licensing. ...

re: Why isn't Texas more known for beaches?
Posted by Elephino on 9/13/21 at 9:11 am
There are some decent beaches on North Padre Island near Corpus Christi. Malaquite beach comes to mind. It is part of the Padre Island National Seashore. It is a paid annual or daily pass, which keeps out some of the riff raff. One of the major issues on that stretch of coast is the current. Al...

re: Merck’s Molnupiravir and Pfizer’s Antiviral Pills - What are the ingredients?
Posted by Elephino on 8/23/21 at 1:31 pm
Molnupiravir was in development for flu. It is a nucleoside -based drug, of which several already exist as antivirals. This drug is a prodrug with oral bioavailability. It is a cytidine analog. I have not gotten around to reading all of the literature on this particular drug, but if it works lik...

re: How long have you been married?
Posted by Elephino on 4/27/21 at 8:34 am
22 years and six states of residence.
We were young and always far from family. Had to learn self-reliance and to depend on one another for everything.
No grandparents around or built-in daycare.
I guess it was a struggle early on, but we didn't know the difference. If it didn't break us...

re: Has anyone lived or visited Corpus Christi Texas?
Posted by Elephino on 8/14/18 at 5:28 pm
I lived there for 5 years and worked in Kingsville. Not sure where you'll be staying, but there are nicer neighborhoods at the end of S Staples, which is ideal for commuting to Kingsville via Chapman Ranch. Most of those neighborhoods have a high density of non-locals; Navy/Marine pilots also commut...
re: A couple questions for those who are familiar with Greenville SC
Posted by Elephino on 8/8/18 at 9:38 pm
Only moved away because of aging parents. Simpsonville is an awesome place to raise a family. The airport has been expanding, and I never had a problem with rates. Not once did it pay for me to drive to Atl or Charlotte. It's at the top of my list for going back as a retirement destination. I miss i...

re: Anyone with a family ever totally relocate to another state/region by choice?

Difficult being away from grandparents and relatives when the kids were young. Not having that built in sitter to take my wife out whenever I wanted. Having to rely upon just us. Great for a marriage you can make it work (we have). Only to ultimately move close to home to mow care for aging/ elderly...
