We are Family

[curt]

We don't need another / a new discussion to prove it.

It is as it is.

Let this "fred" (discussion thread) live under the theme .......

long live this family

brothers, sisters, brethern, dogs, cats and birds, ants and flees, water and air and gas and Clare and Jim and him and the window Simm (??) and you and me and he and she and we and them and us and puss (???) and fish and the dish (it's on) and paper and pen.

Yip.

I agree with Bo, it's greed, and the damage it can do that's caused much of our destroyed environment. The rich man and his corp saying to the rest "I've got mine fuck the rest of ya'll."

A wee bit of good news, I have bumble bees. Yep, so far I've seen three of them.
In and out of the flowers around my front door. I hadn't seen any in the last few years, but this year they seem to be back. I know it's stupid to think they're sweet, but I do. I sit out front and watch the three of them.

Can't remember which thread this was mentioned on but.....

Vuvuzelas making a comeback, at Commonwealth Games.

"There is a lot of demand for the vuvuzela. A lot of demand," said Suresh Kumar, the chairman of Premier Brands, the Indian company in charge of merchandizing at the Commonwealth Games. "We have sold more than 12,000 pieces."

I thought this was interesting, since I've been saying the same thing for year for years.

I dunno, there's lots of stuff people can use to escape hopelessness. And depending on how hopeless one feels, all of them can become lethal. Except maybe internet porn--which is a very healthy addiction.

Seriously, you gotta ask first, why have the peeps become so hopeless that they would resort to checking out in such numbers? I don't think the method is as important as why. Tis more of a cultural problem me thinks.

Out here, in my alternative universe, there is no prostitution. The arts are truly free and beauty seizes the beholder with a savage sense of joy that leaps out in every direction at once, like an autumn tree blaring golden light into the universe.

But of course down the hill it is quite different. The doors are shut. There is money being made. There is power being brokered, youth broken and twisted, split and smashed by lies.

Good morning all, my new grand-daughter joined the world last night at 6:00 PM, 8lbs 6oz, 20" long.
Her name is Evelyn Mae. She looks just like her daddy and has a head full of curly hair. LOL. That's a grand total of 4 grand-babies so far.

[Mouse]

Good evening Evelyn Mae, welcome to the world.

Congratulations littleoldme, you lucky girl. There's nothing more profound to meditate upon than a baby;
there is so much for them to teach us. How to make a better world possible and real. For them we can have faith, for them we can trust that we will find a good way out of the old mess because we must, and they are such powerful dreamers to guide and love.

You know what I mean.

[Cal]

Enjoy the little one and may she enjoy her journey through this crazy world.

[littleoldme]

Thanks Mouse and Cal, I like having little people to spoil rotten and send home. :o)

[littleoldme]

Happy holidays everyone.
