How do they fit so much food into their mouths in one bite? Yikes!

I love their scent but I understand why many people find it stinky.

It’s gorgeous! I love the pattern.

Love Hallmark Christmas movies because nobody dies.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, 1984, Born in the USA tour. Four nights in a row.

Literal goldfish!

IT’s REDDIT :: Of course I’m getting blamed for killing the birds. IT’s REDDIT :: Of course my personal experience means nothing. IT’s REDDIT :: Of course expertise is disregarded. IT’s REDDIT :: When am I going to fvcking learn not to share my observations and concerns.

They’re lovely. Number 20 gave me an intense memory of snorkeling over shallow water eel grass beds in the Florida Keys. For me that was as relaxing as anything I’ve ever done. And that’s an exquisite feeling on this cold winter night.

Lots of good info here. I sincerely hope that everyone stays safe. But masked men in unmarked vehicles are snatching brown people off the streets and disappearing them. Laws and norms, and morals, are no longer applicable in the USA.

I love skates! Awesome kite.

I can’t say enough about finding someone to teach you the ‘search image’ for shark teeth, arrowheads, etc. Once you see one in situ it becomes so much easier. I couldn’t find anything the first time I went to Calvert Cliffs. Then some random dude showed me what a shark tooth looks like in the sand and I couldn’t not find them. Good luck!

I’m named after my mother because I wasn’t a boy.

I’ll be 77 in 6 weeks. I’ve been marching and demonstrating ever since Vietnam. I have voted in every election, even the off year primaries. (didn’t make a gd difference when the Supremes appointed Bush II which has been catastrophic for the entire world) And it only gets worse every election cycle. Fvck it. I’m tired of trying to make a difference.

Thanks! She’ll be 58 in 3 weeks. And that makes me feel even older than I look. lol

When my daughter was born. Fait accompli. No regrets.

They’re both adorable but the 2nd one made me giggle. Dude looks so over it! lol

I fell into bed completely exhausted after a 10 hour drive with my 3 kids. Apparently while I was asleep they emptied my wallet of quarters to play on the other bed. I didn’t hear a thing. I only found out because all the quarters were gone.

The Black Aggie statue at Druid Ridge Cemetery was really close to my family’s burial plot. My Mom, who lived in Pikesville as a teen, was told that if you sat on her lap at midnight bad things would happen. I forget what. I also forget when they removed the statue so maybe bad things did happen? Now there’s just a big block of granite named Agnes.

This is really localized :: Kids attending Lake Shore Elementary School in Pasadena were warned about the Lake Shore boogeyman for decades. Me and my Gen X kids were fairly cautious about staying close to the school at recess. I liked to sleep outside in the summer and always worried that the boogeyman would stalk me at my house about a mile away. Now I believe the legend was to keep everyone on the large playground and away from the woods. My grandkids go there now and it’s not a thing anymore. Probably because Gen Alpha never goes outside.

I stopped watching TV several years ago. Sorry. I’ve forgotten.

I did a double take when I realized that the kitty was melting. Adorable!
