You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Wouldn't...cleansing crystals be difficult to digest? Unless maybe they're very small?

Sheryl, sending you patience vibes and sympathy.

Laura, sorry about the condo, and best of luck on the Lauderdale place.

msbelle, just...hugs. And love.

Cleansing crystals = Tide Pods?

My dog hated being on the boat. And isn’t loving car trips either, which sucks.

That does suck. Hopefully he gets used to them. Also, indeed size does not matter in the doggie world.

He seemed fine with car trips when he was younger, and I only noticed it at thanksgiving when we were driving some curvy mountain roads. But since then, even going straight he’s sometimes panting. I don’t know if maybe it’s something about my new car (which I got at thanksgiving) that feels worse to him? Anyone have dog car suggestions?

Dogs are able to take Dramamine, which can relax him and/or calm nausea.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I've seen birds' nests being built before, but this is the first time I've seen a drey under construction: [link]

Nifty. I never think of squirrels as building things, but why wouldn’t they?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another late night with Mr. S. Slept in this morning, but the work week beckons...

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I briefly worked in a second-floor office pretty close to some trees and there was always squirrel activity going on. One time we watched a young squirrel work on a nest in a place that wasn't going to support it, and when he finally put too much weight on it and the thing disintegrated, he glared down at the ground because the sticks and leaves had failed him.

That fits my idea of squirrel skills and behavior.
