who was first on the porch and kicked the screen door in?

Apparently, he doesn't speak English well, and the TV reporters wanted to interview someone who was fluent in English, and Charles was that man.

I like Charles Ramsey, and am glad he is being recognized, but poor Angel has been left out.

Maybe we should hear from the young woman with the child as to who was first to help her.

in fact, the children drowned in the basement. Supposedly, persons were thought to be safe in a basement, but it didn't work out that way this time.

Oklahoma put money into safe rooms for some of their schools, but the schools in Moore were not included. You have to believe that these red states are low-tax states, and don't wish to increase their municipal or state taxes for this purpose.

When disasters strike, the local district says they can't afford repair, so its pushed to the next level, the state. the state, especially a red low-tax state says they can't afford repair & rebuild, so relief is pushed to the federal level, and that's when many red-state politicians refuse to allocate funding for disaster relief without offsets.

Another problem plaguing local school districts re funding is the graying of America. In many jurisdictions, older adults who have raised their family, or those who never had children refuse to vote for increased school levies. There often are not enough families with school-age children or with an interest in schools to vote for what is best for children.

late into her dementia.
As i understand it, the memories go in reverse order to when they were laid down in the brain.
Since most musicians began their studies in early childhood, it stands to reason that they would not lose that facility until much later in the course of their disease.

He'd likely heard so much "thankfulness" and "praising", he thought all Okies think alike.
She had already told him she didn't own a cell phone.
He should have taken that hint that this woman thought differently from the accepted norm.

I don't imagine he would ask that question of someone in New York or California.

she suffered from dementia (not Alzheimer's disease) beginning in her late 70's, progressing until her death at age 90.

addendum: Mother did not take any vitamins that I'm aware of.

I'm a believer in B vitamins myself, especially B-12, folic acid & B-6. Also CQ10.
So far, I just forget names and some words, but always answer all the questions correctly during dementia "tests". (LOL)

I also occasionally go during the week, but lately I've such a night-owl, that I arise too late to comfortably get to noon Mass!(that is, after leisurely dressing and a late breakfast.)
Not only do I enjoy participating in the liturgy, I also enjoy the community aspect of attending Mass - seeing long-time acquaintances, etc.

Attributed to Stephen Langton, archbishop of Canterbury, who was also a principal author of the Magna Carta, as well as dividing the The Bible verses in to chapters and numbered verses.

Age sometimes takes its toll.

Mothers teach their children to wash their hands in the same instance.
Most restaurants do not permit dogs (service animals excepted) or cats inside.
So how and why is it ever sanitary for a child's diaper to be changed anywhere around food or where people are gathered in public?
The child appears to be walking or at least standing.
The mother (or father) could have cleaned him up in the bathroom.
I hope the Starbucks was not busy when this took place.
How long have changing tables been around?
What did the world do before there were changing tables?

The Starbucks employees did not react well to this scene. - Probably, most of them haven't interacted with babies.
The father was even worse. - throwing his coffee on the floor. - Gee, that's mature.
