Well, bless her heart. She has a kind heart and meant well. It's funny but its also a sweet reminder that people can be kind when they want to be.

The terraced pools... well, you may not be able to see those exact ones any longer, but there are others that look strikingly similar to that pic. The Pamukkale Thermal Pools in Turkey, as well as the Baishuitai in Yunnan, China.

1963 When my family moved to Michigan from Massachusetts we lived at my aunt's house while our new house was being built. There was a half tame squirrel in the neighborhood. One day I was hand feeding it. My mothers yells at me not to let it bite me. I think her voice frightened it because he nipped my finger which bled. Mother says don't tell anyone. I did, at supper and my dad freaks out and we all go to the emergency part of the nearest hospital. They determine I need a series of rabies shots but the doctor says they have 2 serums and if they give me the wrong one I'll be a vegetable because a girl the week before got a wrong shot and it happened to her. I saw a rabies shot, a huge amount of handcream thick penicillin in a giant sized needle and a tetanus shot on a tray and ran out of the building going anywhere/nowhere just to get away. They dragged me back screaming and I got the shots. A whole series of them - 1 a day for 3 weeks. Turns out that squirrels don't carry rabies because their metabolism won't support it. grrr

The northern state of Queensland does not follow the other eastern states of Australia in having daylight saving.It is said that the Premier of the state, at the time it was proposed, thought the sun shone out of his bum, and he wasn't getting out of bed an hour earlier for anyone.

In 1984 or so, National Geographic's kids magazine World had a complicated puzzle competition involving places around the world. One of the clues was something like "where London is a stone's throw from Paris."

I went to the school library, pulled out the big world atlas, and looked up maps containing both "London" and "Paris." That is how I first learned of Christmas Island (not labeled Kiritimati on that old map). The scale told me they were over mile apart, but I figured it was a metaphorical stone throw, so that's what I submitted as my answer.

I did not win, and as i recall they did not publish the answers, so I'll never know if that answer was right. Still, it meant when I saw the map here on Neatorama I recognized it immediately, along with a memory of my jr. high library reference room. Neat!

I was like "Fabric? STRAW???" Then looked down at the dead cod I had strapped to my crotch, giving off a slight aroma.
It should be much easier to make friends and find a job now that I know the proper materials to use.
Also going to save a fortune at the fishmongers.
Guessing I won't get chased by as many seals and seabirds on my usually quite hectic walks on the beach.

A farmer's animals are in total revolt and the man sees an ad in the paper for an animal psychic. He has nothing to lose so he calls the psychic who says he'll come by the next morning. Sure enough the psychic shows up, says he'll have to commune with the animals. A while later the psychic finds the farmer and says "Your horses are angry with you because you changed their bits from straight bars to triangular ones and its hurting their mouths when they pull things." "You're right!" says the farmer. "I can fix that." The psychic says "You aren't putting enough water in the pigs' pen so they can't roll in the mud to prevent sunburns." The farmer says "That's true. I'll take care of that!" The psychic then says "You cranked up the milking machines too high and it's hurting the cows' udders. They are very unhappy." The farmer says "OMG! You are totally right. I'll dial them back down. You are very good at this." The psychic then says "I communed with your sheep and -" The farmer yells "Oh, those sheep. They're all liars. Don't believe a word they say!"

A lady rings up Parks and Wildlife to ask how to get rid of a possum under her house. The advice is to leave a trail of bread from the house to the bush, which she does.Next day they get a call from the lady who now has two possums under the house. David (Tasmania)

When going south to Antarctica, about 70% of the people on board the expedition ship I was on were not to be seen. Either in bed with sea sickness, or talking to Ralph on the porcelain phone. Thankfully it didn't impact me, so there were some fellow loco passengers who went to the front of the ship, yet stayed indoors, and watched the absolute bonkersness of going up and down humungous waves and having them just completely engulf the entire front of the ship.
On my sailing back north, the Drake was like glass.
Good times! Highly recommend going to Antarctica. Head to Ushuaia and book a last minute departure on a ship that still has space.
