Looks yummy! I "thought" about doing the HiveBloPoMo thing, but I have already failed, for a variety of reasons. I just lack that kind of consistency in my schedule...

They are funny birds, and they always do a lot of posturing and parading... both grackles and cowbirds, which we get more of, here on the west coast.

I don't remember who said it, but one of my favorite quotes is "There IS no truth, only perception."

Ah yes, I remember well the "cosmic" incident. Again, as Trevor said, "we can't be expected to know every use of every word everywhere at all times." It's not reality. At least not

I must confess I was never even very peopley, even during my youth. When I was at University, I was typically not the one who was partying, but the one who was called when a drunken friend needed a ride

I'm kind of the same way. Part and parcel of being an introvert, I think!

Hi @cuddlekitten kitten, thanks for stopping by!

I have a very few select people whose company I do enjoy... but in most cases, I'd rather do my own thing than just "being social, for social's sake."

Follow your rules, because most people's so-called "intuition" and "gut hunches" suck to high heaven. Something I remember well from my long gone days of day trading tech stocks, back

So cool to see this again! My parents lived their final years in Sotogrande; last time I was there was 2009. Lot of nice (if a bit spendy) bars and eateries in the port area... my folks were in the Casas

It does seem harder to find "original" content, these days... and what I mean by that is content that doesn't smell too much like it was "created for rewards," as part of some eternal

Very sweet! Big cat fan, here... and congrats on your first post on Hive!

I do understand about worry and anxiety, I really do. I believe it was Mark Twain who once remarked "Worry is like making payments in advance on a debt that may never come due." Or something

And perhaps the biggest threat to all of us is the way emerging technologies also serve as tools to make us ever dumber...

Thank you for stopping by, and for your kind words.

Perhaps the essence here is precisely that many feel this nostalgic loss of something that never existed. Seems to be part of the human psyche... just like the passing of time often leads people to a place

For me, patience is essential... whether I am waiting in line somewhere, or building a presence on Hive, or saving for retirement. On Hive, I have my own long term objective... where I'd like to be by

Same here. But there is only so much time, and there are so many things out there that are interesting to me... over the years, I have gotten marginally better at ignoring things I know I'm not going to

I tend to set the overall goal, but I also have lots of "micro goals" along the way... but in general I try to set myself actual goals rather than live in "dreamland!"

We have become incredibly impatient, to be sure. And I am not convinced that being able to do/get things faster is a positive development.
