The snoring duo made a guest appearance at my house last night and I'm thinking we could perfect this and take the show on the road.
Actually, I'm thinking of a trip to Ohio to visit my brother. The only thing holding me back is the temperature there was 33 degrees.

Ok without the help of me google

Name this plant

If you are one of those who believes us living humans beings have souls, would that then mean living animals in general have souls?

We are given souls or it is said that our souls choose their host. Meaning, that our human form flesh and soul are two different entities.

It is said that when a loved one who has dyed visits you in a dream, that is them actually visiting you.

I have just heard where a pet owners pet who died had visited her.

Are we being ignorant or selfish to believe that us human animals are the only living forms that possess a soul?




Happy Friday all.

I just seen a woman celebrating in her what appeared to be very expensive boat. I am not sure if she just sailed around the globe by herself or what she was even celebrating about...

But the "righteous" thought occurred to me...what if all the money she spent preparing and accomplishing that goal was spent toward something more self-less... ....let alone the time.

Not just her...but what about other things people sink endless money, time, effort and thought into for selfish ends.




Just me be righteous here.

Perhaps you've had a recent break-up, or a terrible divorce.
Maybe you were robbed, or fired recently.
You might even have anger management problems.
Whatever is causing you to have pent up anger and frustrations,
you can now pay to smash things to attempt to get it out in..............
the 'Rage Room'.
This is not a joke. This is for real.

Like that's going to solve your problems.
But, you might have some fun
and it's certainly better than taking it out on your car, or big screen TV,
or childishly calling people derogatory names on a 'dating' site.

i have watched a few docs on homeless people ,,, and to be honest i would never hand out money to any homeless person,,, for several reasons best known to myself ,,
but the bigger question is why are people homeless ,,, to which there are lots of reasons ,,,
and next the age range of homeless people ,,as it differs quite a lot ,,
so from the docs that i have watched including docs that have been interviews with all age ranges ,,
the following is what i saw,,
the young homeless people cover two main types ,,,the first are either alcohol or drug abuse ,where the family have had enough of them and kicked them out for making their own lives a misery ,,and these are the ones that just do not give a dam about anyone or anything except for them selves,but will always play the poor me card ,,
then you have the other youngsters who have left abusive homes or parents seeking a better life with out a plan of action and go couch surfing and the like until people have enough of them and tell them to move on,,
then you have the mid range age group ,that come from relationship break ups loss of job or just bad debts ,,this group also includes families with young kids in tow ,these are mostly eviction people and this group is going to grow at a alarming rate once moratorium ends ..
the oldest group has the biggest problems , mental health being a major contribution , no jobs and no job prospects ,and no family support ,drug and alcohol abuse ,these are the lost souls with little hope of a future ,,
homeless people live in motel rooms mainly families on what support they get ,the mid range tend to live in cars or vans as these still have jobs as such but never enough money to get out of the rut ,
the older generation are found in skid row if they are drug or alcohol dependant and in tent cities if they are not , tent city homeless people due to mental health problems cause more problems by piling up junk and trash all over, and that is why they kept moving on due to clean ups,
homeless hostels and shelters are not the safest of places probably the most dangerous ,
,,,this is a world wide problem that has never been solved surely with todays technology there must be a answer ,,but the truth is there will never be a answer ,,because you can only help people that want to help themselves ,sadly it is just another way of life or should that be a way of existing

In the now disappeared blog about the Texas wind farms icing up, USA members were on about how much more they were paying for their electivity because it has to be green now, so costs more against coal power stations, so how much are you paying per KW as I am paying 19p per KW which is about 13c with the current exchange rate and, that includes the so called green energy charges.

I just got done watching a movie about artificial intelligence and at the end, man's machine had taken over.

It got me thinking. I grew up in small town America, in a place where if you wanted to gain financially, and I mean for the most part just gain enough to pay the bills and survive. In fact, a lot of that life still remains around here....for now. The price to rent an apartment around here can be about $400 a month where in New York City, it can be $2000 a month.

Back when I was young, there really was not much in the lines of making a great living around here. In many cases, one would have to move out from the area in order to "make it" in the world. My father and I would haul scrap iron in the summer time and work in the woods in the -10 degrees cold brisk mornings.

Boy...thinking back to those days seem so ancient now. A time well past....past well back in time.

Now, I can just press a couple of keys in the comfort of my warm home and money comes flowing in from all over the world.

Just the thought of that while I was young...I don't think my wildest dreams could have painted that picture.

This blog is not about money....

It is about the change happening under our noses without us really even giving two thoughts about it. I am from a different time, living in a new world.

A few weeks ago I saw a display at Wal-Mart of quilted blankets that are filled with glass beads. The theory is a weighted blanket gives more comfort and can relieve stress, decreasing movement and allowing the person more deep, restorative REM cycle.

I sleep with a comforter year round and now, in winter months have 2 layers.
South Florida had a few weeks of cold weather this season... cold by our standards with nights as low as 45 degrees Fahrenheit. It was 70 outside last night, the a/c was off and a window fan was on. Too warm for a double layer blanket, I was up several times tossing and turning. I'll make an adjustment for that tonight as I typically get better rest with blankets than sheets.
