One of my almae matres now has a building that looks like bamboo steam baskets for dumplings. (Wasn’t around when I studied in 2013-14) #ntu #singapore #nanyang

Imagine being a priest or a nun, and devoting your whole life to something that doesn’t exist - wasting the only life you’re going to get, in the mistaken belief you’ll get a β€˜better β€˜one when you die.
This explains why the priests and nuns in my school growing up were such evil, sadistic excuses for humans - they knew the mistake they had made, but couldn’t get out of the cult., and it slowly poisoned them.
In that, I take some form of comfort knowing that they hated their lives, like all the kids hated themπŸ˜‘

Hard work.

I spent my day working outside in the yard laying SOD. I ordered a way too expensive pallet of SOD that was supposed to arrive tomorrow, but it came this morning.

While I was taking a break in my backyard, I noticed this Red Spotted Purple Butterfly and started chasing it around. I guess you could say that I get distracted easily. I'm outside working and ... "look butterfly"πŸ˜‚. Anyway, I wanted to catch it in the air, and I actually got a pretty good shot except one wing was out of the frame. But this photo of it on the lawn isn't too bad, and the bottom side of the wings is more colorful than the top.

I was just out running an errand and drove by a pileated woodpecker on a telephone pole. I didn’t have my camera but stopped and snapped a pic through my windshield. Just as I was ready the woodpecker moved. It’s not a good pic … C’est la vie. πŸ™‚

I’m sitting in my back yard. The pigeons are here. Sorry 😞, I didn’t notice Ben’s photobomb. πŸ˜‚

russian authorities have committed a wide range of violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in various regions of Ukraine, many of which amount to war crimes, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said in a new report Thursday.

Lindell suggested in his latest interview that his company - and sole source of income - is going under. Maybe Shasta County should get that legal defense money up front?

Definitely, but it's not always up to me. She mimics the phone ringing, microwave, etc, because she hears it. And when she first got here, what she repeated to herself was "Scooter! No! Ow! You little asshole!" I noticed she was fascinated by whispering, so that's what I did, and I almost never hear that original phrase anymore, but she whispers to herself a lot.

Yesterday we saw this handsome guy sitting pretty at the Desert Museum in Tucson.

This changed the moment the first public account of the massacre appeared. Thompson broke cover.

He refused to keep quiet or minimise the crimes committed, despite pressure from press, the military and a hostile Congress determined to cast him as a traitor.

He stood up. He testified at the public enquiry. He was vilified by many. /14

She came from a parrot rescue, so I don't know her age - she's young, so probably not more than 20. And yes, she talks, and sings, and whistles, and sounds like the microwave and the toaster oven. My favorite is when she whispers
"I love the Scootie, such a sweet Scootie" That one she learned from me and hubs. I'm currently teaching her to whistle Jeepers Creepers.

Gonna start a GoFundMe called "Nothing is currently wrong, but I live in a capitalist society so it is only a matter of time".

@spocko

My parrot, Scooter The Gray, loves crows. When I take her outside she watches for them, calls to them, and nothing thrills her more than having one call back.
I think birds are fascinating, and I love watching them, even when they're loud (like Scooter)
