COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

At Sidney Zoo an alligator,
Was put on board a flying freighter,
He ate the pilot and the navigator,
And asked for more with mashed potata.

At Bristol Zoo a lazy croc
Took a taxi to a nearby rock
The driver laughed and began to mock
So he was eaten too - and his clock!

It's almost as if we're trapped in some sort of time paradox with y'all going through old posts.

Greetings all!
Today's workshop was NOT what it was billed as, but was interesting nonetheless.
The best part is that we DID learn 2 new chants: both are done after one's daily meditation practice. One asks for forgiveness for any unintentional harm we may have caused anyone, and the other offers anything GOOD we do go out into the world to benefit all beings. i like the combination of the humility and optimism.

Most of the workshop, however, was on Ayurvedic medicine. Although i find it very interesting, and have benefitted from some lifestyle and eating changes they advise, that was NOT what I was expecting. I like to think of myself as open-minded, and have been happily willing to try some of the Ayurvedic approaches in the past, but some of it is just a little bit too "out there" even for me.
Tomorrow will be more of the same, but I'll go back since it's quite interesting, whether I apply it to my life or not. It's a small class of 10 people, most of whom I know or recognize, so it's always a nice time.

Oh, my YES- he's definitely grown! I have been trying to post a picture of him but having difficulty getting my phone and my computer to talk to each other...

I will look forward to seeing him when your devices decide to communicate again.
Technology really is wonderful - when its working properly!!

Sounds interesting and as you say at least you will be able to make an informed decision about whether to adopt the practices or not

Care if I whine a bit? I figure it's a good thing to do in the cold and dark...

So...I'm a bit stressed today. I'll admit life is pretty stressful these days period, but I'm trying really hard to make the most of it and give the kids some fun last few days of summer. We've been staying at my parents' house a state away. I took the kids swimming today. I thought it would be safer to keep my purse tucked under the carseat and the doors locked rather than on the towel while I'm away in the water. Well, came back to the van to find mine and three other cars with bashed in windows. My purse is gone. I must not have tucked the handle in well enough or something. I lost the camera (heartbroken about the photos I lost!), cell phone, cards, checkbook, the rest of the my trip money, IDs, everything. It was stupid to have them with me in my purse, but I've been so busy I didn't think to empty out my purse from various summer excursions as I'm out of town and basically lugging my belongings everywhere I go. I have a few little 'ouchies' on my hand from tiny shards of broken glass when I was cleaning off the seats so we could sit down. -An interesting side effect of robbery that I would not have thought of. Seriously wishing I could go back in time!!!!!!!!!!! Where's the tardis when you need it!!?!?!?!?!?

I am so sorry to hear this Chrissy! It's not just the loss of cards etc and the precious memories but also the hassle of having to notify organisations and cancel cards etc and the inconvenience of repairs etc. I am so pleased you are all OK though.

There were giant armadillos, too, at roughly the same time............

This last one comes from South America, as do the others, but this species has also been found in Florida.
Coprolites are a different shape however.

Why do I get the urge to draw a parked bicycle on this picture - and can you guess where it would be parked?

 

[Lyn W]

I have tried to get through as many posts from the last week or so but my eyes are tired now, so I will bid you all nos da and hopefully see you tomorrow!
Enjoy the rest of your Tuesdays and sleep well!

You're a very funny lady.

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself.
My name is Adam and I love tortoises.
I have a Greek tortoise named Tidgy.
Is it safe to use coiled bulbs ?

At Bristol Zoo a lazy croc
Took a taxi to a nearby rock
The driver laughed and began to mock
So he was eaten too - and his clock!

In Egypt in the murky Nile,
There swam a hungry crocodile.
A tourist came to look and see,,
And ended up the reptile's tea.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

nos da friends

Night, John.
We can sleep peacefully tonight.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Points!!

But a different game, different system.

Good evening!
You're right Bea, there's always something to take from an experience even if it isn't exactly one's 'thing'.
And good people are good people, whatever they may believe in.
