In Scotland the sheep roam all over the hills/tors/mountains/wilderness. The shepherds spray a colored dye on the side of their sheep so they can distinguish them from all the others mixed in with them. Red, blue, orange... all the colors of the rainbow.
Jim, Jimi and Janis all died that year. It was my first year at college and I adored Janis. She's been the only 'idol' I ever had and it hurt so bad when I heard she had died. 1971 was a rough year for music, IMO. We lost too many of our great musicians.
I was a kid at a sleepover when that movie came on the tv late, late that night. Most everyone was asleep by then so I watched this movie without benefit of giggling girls to dispel the creepiness of it. It scared the heck out of me. I know it's a ridiculous movie but the constant creepy noises - the beating heart/creeping around sounds - freaked me out. I still won't watch it. nope
I have boycotted all things Disney since my children were 8 and 6. It came about when Disney Corporation sued a very small preschool for daring to put their happy cartoon characters on the outside walls of the building. Disney is not such a happy place, after all, IMO.
My dad was a master beekeeper for over 30 years and there were many times that he would get calls from homeowners to come and remove a hive of bees in their attic. Lots of people would actually have yellow jackets or hornets instead of bees. The great thing was IF they were bees he would relocate them to his property or a farmer's pasture so they could pollinate the flowers and make some fabulous honey. My dad passed away 3 weeks ago today. Caring for his honeybees was one of his greatest joys in life.
True, but with a pressure cooker you put the heat on high until the nozzle on the top just starts to jiggle and then you turn down the heat to a much lower setting. But those things scare me. I liken them to balloons. Either could 'pop' depending on the circumstances, ya know? But I am a fan of crock pots. It makes a great beer chili!
My mother loved to use her pressure cooker. I was always scared of it and refuse to use one even now decades later. After she got a full time job making supper fell to me and my brother. One day he was supposed to put a whole chicken with all the fixings (potatoes, veggies and spices/herbs) into the pressure cooker so we would have a nice cooked meal for later on. He put the thing on the stove on high heat and forgot about it. It exploded. The lid went through the window. The pot shot onto the floor and made a huge crater. Chicken grease and bits of meat, bone and veggies were everywhere. De-greasing a kitchen is no easy task. At least that was the end of pressure cookers in our house.
We were 'hippies' when we got married. My husband and I both refused to let people give us gifts for our wedding. We both felt that weddings were in a large part just a way for some people to get lots of free stuff. We had been to enough weddings (and showers) to have had first hand experience with this mindset of people doing their utmost to get as much loot (money and/or presents) as possible and wanted no part of it. We had no list of wedding gifts that we wanted. We had no 'showers'. We had a simple wedding in my parents home with a Scottish piper, a wedding cake and a Bar-B-Q in the backyard and invited our family and friends to just come and celebrate our wedding and enjoy our hospitality, too. So, we started out with 'nothing' and chose to make our way in our new life together knowing that what we accumulated over time were things that mattered to us. Nearly 44 years later, still married, we have never regretted doing this.
I am all for a "boycott the Kardashian/Jenner klan Day". Any day will work. Just make it a day where ALL the media stations and news outlets agree to totally ignore this vacuous bunch of 'humans' so the rest of the world can take a breather and recover from the over-saturation of these people. Won't someone start this ball rolling?
