Is writing emotion and detail difficult for you? You may be a Brown color-style writer. Browns narrow in on the important aspects; quickly get the work done. But too little detail is provided, particularly in areas of emotion and scene-setting. Join me to learn more www.uppaa.org/2026-pre-con...

That is so neat! I remember making Ukrainian Easter eggs decades ago. How many times can you use each tie?

This post is a month overdue; my bad. Oops, I'm not allowed to use that word, nor is anyone else, ever again. I've protested its use ever since someone left a kettle boiling on the stove, walked out of the house, completely forgot about it, and later tried apologizing with, "My bad." bit.ly/4bzY6BH

I don't know, but I still get a kick out of noticing when a wild bird poops. (Yes, Hugh thinks I'm strange.)

It's a grey day today. But great one, as I'm packing my bags for a two-week vacation in Kosrae! Going to visit a friend who claims it's his shangralai. 80º all the time with lots of fresh seafood and fruit and low crime - sounds heavenly. youtu.be/AmjvFWGZQkI?...

Just checked out your project, as I've done a couple crowdfunding projects too - it's not my thing, but that's okay. However, I wanted to let you know that I think you rocked the video description! And, I loved your message about supporting independent artists. Keep up the great work!

Wow! Sometimes I get to see a Merlin hunting--sitting in a treetop looking and waiting. The smaller birds quickly go quiet and still. I'm never sure who to "root for."

This is such a sad and deranged situation. I can't imagine how the people carrying out these attacks on these foreign boats are feeling.

Wow! I'm glad to hear the prescription was not proper. Unfortunately, it's not the first time I've heard of this. I knew a woman who suffered severe migraines - it turned out it was her prescription was upside down and backwards. BTW, I'm trying to get hold of you—I need some advice. Can you DM me?
