I've discovered that they are a tasty treat with a neat crunch that seems to stop my craving for popcorn.

DILATE.

One definition of dilate
is a little bit like inflate,
inasmuch as in the end
something, somewhere will distend.

The widened pupils of the eye
is what a lover might espy,
interpreting this as attraction
in a sexual interaction.

Dilation might be an enlargement
as when women are recumbent
and their cervix opens wide
so new-born’s pass to the outside.

Sometimes dilation is ...

DEXTERITY.

It’s good to have dexterity
for this is an ability
and skill in undertaking tasks
whenever anybody asks.

If you are handy with your hands
that’s fine if one still understands
that keeping aptitudes on track
is not just simply having knack

For knack’s not all that’s necessary
to start the art of mastery,
and whilst dexterity is fine
there’s lots of other things en ...

..... Just back from a very late rural night ..... elsewhere in the local village they were Wassailing tonight ........
Ancient spiritual practice of celebration and waking up the orchard trees - so there is a good apple harvest later in the year --- and cider flows freely. .....
Lots of traditional songs, and clattering noises and instruments ...... and burning torches light up a procession a ...

Love this! Representation matters! Saw this on 'ADHD Interrupted' Facebook page and had to share.

DETERMINATION.

We admire determination
courage and perseveration
because whatever we may do
these qualities will see us through.

The more that people contribute
by being firm and resolute,
the more that people will get done
and that’s the same for everyone.

When people have the strength of will
they may find they will fulfil
most of the things that they want to
and still have time for ...

I feel awesome. No cancer found. Thank you, God, and I have a new granddaughter as of yesterday to spoil forever and ever. I feel so blessed!
Update:
As of 1-26-2024, I was admitted to the hospital and had to have another biopsy. I will not know the results until after Wednesday, so hoping to have a benign result. Even if I don't, the growth can be removed.

As of 2-8-2024, I went to th ...

After seeing Rosebud's butterfly picture, I figured I'd share a few from when my girlfriend and I visited Butterfly Wonderland in Phoenix last month. You get to walk in a rainforest with butterflies all around. I can't post the videos but here are some pictures….

Wouldn't it be great if we were able to teleport flesh and bone to our medic appointments, hey! .............. Errrrrrrrrrrrrr?

Tomorrow I will gratefully spend around 12 hours being driven from my rural outpost to the very heart of the UK's capital city .... "and back again"
Because the reality is that one cannot drive one's own car because there is no guarantee of a place in which to park ...

Normally, I don't review or tout products. But my new cell phone is awesome.
Samsung S23 Ultra. Long-lasting battery. Amazing camera. Has a 200-megapixel main image sensor. I can zoom without pixelation (image becomes blocky looking).
I took a picture of Hearst Castle from 3+ miles away while hiking along the shore in San Simeon. The picture can be viewed on my photo page.
The phone is a littl ...

Mine was in China, a place called Hailin, close to the Russian border about 10 years ago. We only planned to stay 4 nights in this tiny village. It was winter, -20°C. Anyway, a big blizzard hit, all roads closed. We were stuck there for another 4 nights. It was lovely. Then we could only get out through a backroad. What a blessing, the countryside was incredible. Icy road winding down a valle ...

DELICATE.

Delicate are the pastel shades
of morning mists and leafy glades
where birds will while away their time
and squirrels in the branches climb.

Delicate is the bird in song
who seems to string each note along
as if they’ve heard the finest flute
and try to sing their song to suit.

Delicate is the gossamer thread
which spiders spin, so it is said,
to show how patterns should ...

Hello everyone and happy New Year
My question is about airline traveling and tips on travel in general.
So in about a year and a half, I'll be traveling to Jamaica to celebrate my 25-year anniversary. I'm just wanting to find out how and what I should be looking into starting now to get me through TSA and customs if that's a thing. It's also my first time traveling out of the USA. So I'm hopin ...

Hi all, wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year. Hope all that annoying medical shite gives everyone a break in 2024 and gives you room for some fun in your lives

The below is awesome on so many levels. One of which is hearing the St. Louis Blues done as a tango. I have umpteen versions of this classic by umpteen different people. No one did it quite like this. But, having now heard this, I wonder why it never struck me that way before. Great stuff!
The second awesome thing is that I have been a Hugh Laurie fan since the Blackadder II days and have seen ...
