Don’t give up hope! I found one with 32 pins, on FB marketplace for… $60. Belonged to an elderly lady (Madeline) who passed last year. Her son vetted folks who were interested, until he found someone who actually wanted to use it ❤️

One mature tree can produce enough oxygen for 2-4 people daily. Forests act as giant air purifiers—absorbing CO₂, pollutants, and particulates—delivering cleaner air that reduces respiratory diseases and supports every cell in your body. Breathe better. Thank a forest. 🌬️

Chicken Tetrazini. Digging into another classic recipe from Mum’s 1965 Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Comfort family favourite. I’m beyond lucky to have this time to cook with Mum. We’re waiting to hear from medical oncology. Grab all the time you can with loved ones❤️

I’m spending extra time with my Mum as she navigates a serious cancer diagnosis. It’s a bit surreal, as I’m also managing a chronic rare cancer with liver & stomach complications. So, I’m not well enough to do serious housework, but I’m excellent company watching PBS TV😆

The roast chicken lesson was entertaining for me, a bit tortuous for Mum(87). I’m a finicky prep person, chopping & mincing. Deeply impressed at her incredible patience, NOT intervening! Chicken soup from remains will be this week … any next must cook meat recipe suggestions?

First, Mum approved, & supervised, delicious roast chicken. Feeling ridiculously proud 😊even being over a certain age. Decades of vegan & vegetarianism, means I missed out, learning all the fabulous family meat/fish dishes. Lucky my Mum is still a keen cook!

However bad you’re feeling today, spare a thought for Santa who drank several thousand glasses of sherry and brandy in the UK and then 100 million glasses of milk in the US. He’s spent the last 48 hours throwing up into the Pacific

Three years ago I started a 5month admission Dec 20th. A reindeer & Santa did my Xmas vitals. This past week, my mother was just admitted, with pancreatic cancer. Shock diagnosis. Between the three adult children, someone is always there. Can I just say… the seats are horrific !!.

Were you able to hear the lights as well? Years ago, in remote Northern Ontario, I used to prep a hot chocolate thermos, set up a lawn chair in the snow, and watch the lights. Every so often, you could hear them - the purple-pink ones made the most magical shimmering sounds.

Tonight this man convinced me that he had not had dinner. He gave me giant googly starving eyes as he drooled into his bowl. Now he is sleeping off his double dinner with his stomach so large he can’t even lie on it. Strong contender for a daytime Emmy here.

Snapdragons are my favorite flower to grow. They do however produce seed pods that look like the screaming skulls of the damned.
( Not my picture) Snapdragon seed pod dried on the plant. There are five pods that resemble tiny human skulls with open mouths.

Canadian cousin to The Onion. Satire at its finest. Though… this particular article is little too close to reality. Women’s health IS systematically ignored at all levels of research & care. Maybe this explains why?😆

Acknowledging that the “good guy” can absolutely be a horrific abuser & rapist, and that regular “good girls” can be attacked for no reason - that’s all waaaaay too much for that sort of woman to consider. Unravelling protective thinking can be done, but it takes time, and requires trust.

WickFo @wickfo.bsky.social · 05/12/2024
Protective thinking shields her from the realities of the world, and predatory male behaviour. It also allows her to downplay whatever is said about a man she knows - because he’s a “good guy”, who just says things he doesn’t mean sometimes 🧵

WickFo @wickfo.bsky.social · 05/12/2024
It’s personal protective thinking. Women who claim the abuse, must all be liars, sluts, & prostitutes - that’s WHY it happened to THEM. They are blamed for their misfortune. Since the woman casting blame, KNOWS, she’s not any of those things - that false knowledge protects her from being a victim 🧵

This bird will not put up with any nonsense. Northern Pygmy-Owl, Washington state #birds #owls 🌿
A small, round bird with piercing yellow eyes and a finely speckled head rests on a delicate branch. Its rich brown and white feathers are soft and textured, blending seamlessly with the muted, natural backdrop. The bird's intense gaze conveys a quiet yet commanding presence in the serene environment.
