Oh that lettuce looks so good!!! Indoors? I'll have to look into that. It seems manageable. I'm kind of lazy, but that looks like something I could do. Why Nashville? I rode through there once on my way

Wow, that's a blog :) I think some people in my country should read your blog. There is an insistence here that gender is binary--either male or female. Passports, for example, must reflect gender at birth.

My country is in crisis. Of course, there are people in this country who would describe circumstances here differently. They would say that a president acting without congressional authority is fine. I

let's hope it ends soon. Yes!!

I'm very your health has been poor, poorer than usual, even. It's so hard when our bodies betray us. I appreciate your feedback, particularly when you are contending with so many issues at home. Feel better,

Just bought the Kindle version of this: Poems from the Edge of the Apocalypse: A Collection of Poetry . I will read as I go to sleep at night and will write a review when I am finished.

Thank you for your comment. I'm sorry, I cannot use the word 'good' in contemplating the horror that is occurring right now. I'm an old lady, but I feel I should be out there, in the streets. The death

She only published one book that is for sale on Amazon, although her work appeared in journals and she has won poetry prizes. Actually, I helped her to format that book for amazon: There Is a Special Place.

I want to write about the war, but can't get started. Just too upsetting. Besides all the other issues...the legality, for example. The way Trump and Hegseth talk about killing people. There is such a

You are really just one mistake or one misunderstanding away from everything you have worked for over the years to suddenly be gone Isn't that a waste?

I know nothing about oil supplies or oil prices. I know what I read in the papers. However, another blogger, azircon, who is a geologist and works in the oil and gas industry, writes that countries have

What an imaginative, fanciful image, @inessita. I love the idea and the execution. I am gifting you 2 HSBI tokens in appreciation of your charming art and your participation in the contest. Thank you!

I like the way the elf is petting the dog. Nice effect, @argeh. Thank you for participating in this round with your very original collage. I am gifting you 2 HSBI tokens in appreciation of your art and
