What we bring in terms of our intellect, character, ability to think critically is different. Different snowflakes, different humans. Truth becomes what we say it is based on whom we are. SIGH.

It’s called “olla gardening”. The olla is Spanish for pot, like a cooking pot.

I had Moh's surgery for basal cell carcinoma on my face a few month's ago and cow collage was used to fill in the space where the cancer was removed. There is a barely noticeable small scar. That's all.The first successful human organ transplant was performed by Dr. Joseph Murray in 1954. It was a kidney transplant between identical twins. That opened the door to what we have today.In 1995 Dr. Suzanne Ildstad transplanted baboon bone marrow into Jeff Getty who has AIDS . The baboon cells functioned for only two weeks but Getty is still alive today.The animal emerging as the most likely source of transplantable organs is the pig.The Brave New World is here m'dear. We are animals after all aren't we? I wonder if human organs can be used to save non-human animals one day? less

They both pay in Rubles. How much cost would be added to a product if such background checks were mandatory?

We had a problem with them during this past summer and I put some whole cloves in a pot of cold tap water and brought it to a simmer. It worked like MAGIC. I made sure to replenish the water often so the pot didn't burn. It gives off a pleasant aroma if you like cloves. What method do YOU use to keep mosquitos at bay out of your house?

Also in another absurdity a coffee roaster business owner got a CEASE AND DESIST letter from See's Candy telling her she could use NOT her legal name for her business. It was "See's" of course and it was "See's Coffee Roasters". Now who would conflate See's Candy with See's Coffee Roasters? Would you?. She had to change the name of her business. Does that make sense to you? Why?. less

The subjects were always open-ended and flexible. Never rigid pronouncements. Usually "what if" possibilities. I do not remember discussing politics. It was more about abstract concepts than concrete ugly reality. That was then. SIGH. This is now. Oh my! :(

They can't all be potential enemies ready to strike. They can't all be hotbeds of terrorism targeting America. What's going on here? How many BILLIONS are being pi**ed away doing this? What is our return on investment? What is the goal? Is it endless and unachievable? Whassup?

Are most of them worthless welfare recipients who accept government handouts in the form of paychecks and are out for themselves and their "Johns"? Yep. I think so. It is a cozy group of like-minded folks with the same goal. Self first, self always, self forever. How many of them screw we the people by spending our money on luxuries for themselves? I dunno. 90%? 99%?
