I know what you meant. 😏 We fed our chickens freeze-dried mealworms as a treat and to supplement their diet.

If you need one of your own, check Facebook's Marketplace. We have found a lot there.

New profile pic: this is Katie's favorite picture from the Irish Dance Feising days.

That banner is from Mom and Dad's college years at Murray State. Left: Dad in Pershing Rifles uniform and rifle at attention. They performed with their rifles. Right: Mom and Dad at a Fraternity/Sorority dance.

The first of the band photos from St. Patrick's Day gigs are in... As you can see, Wm is so happy to be wearing a Minnie Mouse bow.

We did! We had chickens for 10 years. We finally took down the coop after a raccoon got in and decimated the flock. We rehomed the last bird to a family that had chickens. Our hen was less than 6 months old.

I just read that my favorite band teacher from Blue Springs Junior High passed away on March 12th.

Can I be a toddler and throw a knock down/drag out tantrum. I am tired of keeping a stiff upper lip for all the Feb and March losses this year and still mourning Mom's from 24 Feb 23 to her bday 3/14

I have a very similar picture as your first one with Brigid in place instead.

I started my enjoyment of free-form poetry from reading all of MC's book. Before I had always been told I had to follow the rules.

Agreed. I think about my children. I took Latin college and am taking French online

I'm seriously one bruise after another. I have a bone bruise by my ankle and carpet rash on my knee. I take a blood thinner.

The second picture was Toffee's back toes taken this evening. It will scar.

I have a CT scan and appt soon. I'm tired of looking like I MMA every night.

Wm can't either.

Wm can never retire. I'm disabled but don't qualify for money. My two young adults and Wm are autistic and have mental health issues. What life insurance we have won't give us but a few years after everything is paid off.

I hate that thing. Someone at my son's work owns one and parks it at the back of the lot. I seen a few in the wild. Trash compactors more like to me.

I use Samsung, and the Google app is great for me for sentences, but I've never tried to listen to anything of length. I can just hear AI with Irish, Welsh, or Scots Gaelic.

How will this affect historians who are using primary sources, and all writing is different depending on the person.

Nothing makes you see your mistakes but the light of day. I'll fix them in the document. I wrote that on the fly.

Thank you. She is deeply missed, but this year taught us she had an aneurism. It's not much, but for my Dad and me, it was closure.

Tomorrow (March 14, 1949) would have been my mother's birthday.

In the rays of the sun, I feel your caress.
In the birdsong, I hear you praising the new day.
In the garden dirt, I feel you lessons.
In the multi-faceted fauna, I see your soul.
In the goodness of your recipes, I feel your love.

Next up is a gorgeous picture of my 99 yr old grandmother at her home in Whitlock, TN, and her physical therapist, who drove up from Memphis, 2 1/2 hrs, to visit and give her a session.

On the left is my aunt's bridal pic, and on the right is Pepa, who died in Nov 2002, 52 1/2 married.

Couple of posts: you know you're not doing so hot when the nurses at the orthopedic office tell you they are getting you a wheelchair.

Even trying to be careful, I went over my pacing for the day by almost double. The life of the disabled.

Thank you for the awesome idea and reference. Jewelry tones work great for me.

Wow! Could you send me the link for making these. It looks like something I could handstitch (which I still can do)?

I love this. I never could get past the beginning stitches in crochet or knitting. πŸ’œ

My husband @billthetailor.bsky.social is in a traditional CΓ©ilΓ­ band. They are well known in Irish circles around here. We have a sewing business that's over 20 yrs old, but we are changing over to embroidery. This design is an original logo, and embroidery for the band. I'm excited to share it.
