As I sit, sipping my chocolate cappuccino, I read about all the snow falling across parts of the U.S. I don't know about Europe, and I'm fairly certain the Pacific Islands are okay, but dang there is a ton of white stuff falling. This leads me to think about warm stuff. Like a hot cappuccino, warm puppies, and the ever famous snuggle blanket.

In olden days, some may even remember these days, before polyester, there was the QUILT. Ladies, mostly, I believe, would get together and sit around this huge wooden frame. They brought scraps of cloth with them, from the seat of pants torn while tending a bull, ripped off by barbed wire or even cut off the unsuspecting back of a farmer. These scraps would elicit much talk and memories, both hilarious and sad.
"Elsie - member when Jacko was trying to castrate that bull? Dang that boy sure was stupid. Grabbing a full grow'd bull by the balls and yankin'. <insert a sigh and a giggle> This be all he had left of his clothes from that!"
Ah yes quilting. Needles and thread sewn onto a backing and stuffed with whatever was available, goose down, peacock tails, dog sheddings, and the result was a heavy warm blanket with memories attached.
Can't get that from the "Allergy Free" down comforter can you? Most memories there would be the stain from where the cat hawked up a fur ball, but I suppose we get our memories from where we can.
I just hope all that are weathering through this snow make memories of warmth and joy to last until May. Well isn't that when that groundpig said winter would last till? Something like that anyway!

There are wild critters and W*I*L*D critters. The two above happen to own me. One, the Mountain Lion, seen competing for rare and exotic food with a human child, had a horrible experience lately. During a vicious rain storm, I had risen from my desk to go check out the weather, the stability of the patio door and any flooding. Since I live on the 2nd floor I wasn't too concerned about flooding except the coolness of watching water rise and cover everything. The glass patio door was another story. I opened the patio door, rain hit me in the face and I told the Lamb we had better not go out to investigate further. The Mountain Lion usually seeks shelter in the commode area during such down pours.
I shut and locked the paio door, closed the blinds and reseated myself at my computer. The Lamb, instead of lying back down, started pacing. I figured he was nervous and kept reassuring him even with the noise of the glass door to the patio banging.
After two hours (yikes) I decided to head to bed - where upon I could not find the Mountain Lion! Frantically I ran from room to room calling her and looking under everything and in every closet. No Mountain Lion. The Lamb kept running back to the patio door and it hit me. I HAD LOCKED HER OUT. She was indeed outside in the wind and rain. She had taken what shelter she could find under the chair on the patio but was soaking wet, shivering and in total panic.
It took me over 2 hours to get all that fur dry, stop her panic attack and calm both of us down. I kept apologizing to her. What kind of benevolent owned human was I that I had no idea one of my critters was out in a horrible storm? She, of course, now acts like it never happened. I cannot get the image of that bedraggled critter out of my mind. Poor crit.
CC (alias the Mountain Lion) did come down with stomach problems for a couple of days and my penance was cleaning the carpets. Dewley (the Lamb) just grins at me every time as if to say, "Mom - you gotta learn! When I tell you something is wrong you need to listen to me!"
Critters. Whatcha gonna do?

...a sign that the Gene Pool is way overcrowded!
How many news stories list wild animals kept in a zoo, killing someone so stupid they deserved it, then being slaughtered?
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **
Let us go over the stats shall we? I mean it's raining, there is nothing much else to do today. No one called to request/beg an interview.
Employees at a zoo in Erfurt (somewhere in Germany) illegally killed animals and sold them as food. The zoo director has been fired as a result of the scandal.
A seven-year-old boy has been filmed going on a rampage at a popular zoo in Australia, killing rare reptiles and feeding live ones to a crocodile.
A lioness was fatally shot after breaking out of its enclosure at an Australian zoo and forcing visitors to hide in nearby buildings...
Now, they claim humans are high on evolutions list of warm blooded critters right? Oh, just go with me you anti-evolutionists. Sheesh. Yet, when faced with 'untamed' creatures, humans freak out and go with the basic instinct - kill. Okay that seven-year old is a psycho but other than that - oh all right fine, who would want to buy dead zebra meat?
Zoos are becoming strange places are they not? Makes one re-think visiting them. Z-Balls-Man is to blame for this entry because he had the stoopid video which made me laugh so hard. I know, I know. I am so sick. Blame Po5 for no apostrophes then.
and on the most endangered species list we must add the Olympic trampoline event for bears and apostrophes for writers.

I never do this. What you ask? Well, write two blog entries consecutively for one thing, and the other is gossip. I don't especially like gossip do you? I have worked with more women than men and let me tell ya both love to gossip. I have no idea who started the myth that only women love gossip because men are just as good at it.
What shall we gossip about today - hmmmm.....
Oscar Nominees? I see that inanimate actors are making their way down the red carpet again. Jim Henson would be proud. The newest rage in racial bigotry is blue I guess or is it trees? I didn't see the movie.
Newton the Groundhog? I think this animal needs a life. The highlight of his life is to pop out of the ground? What is fear of one's shadow called? goes to look it up sciaphobia Anyone else out there afraid of their own shadows?
Colts vs Saints game. I dunno. I think the Saints are going all the way in this game and that's just a random guess. I see it being a boring Super Bowl with stupid ads this year. The gossip is that two of the Front Ends are dating. IT'S GOSSIP.
Taxes and the U.S. Deficit. Now there's the stuff of gossip right? I think an Urban Legend is called for here. Hm. Okay let's tell other people that because of Nuclear exposure, the Federal agency in charge of paying off debts is currently hallucinating and giving money away to ground hogs for new underground homes. They have also provided them with HD televisions to watch blue trees.
Jacob Zuma's 20th child - okay this one I won't even go into as my blog isn't rated XGC.
Neanderthal teeth were discovered. Okay my question is where is the rest of the guy? Gossip states that he left his teeth to his T-Rex or that his T-Rex ate everything except the teeth.
Gossip - whatcha gonna do. Spread it around.

No Man Is An Island!
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **
To this I state emphatically - DUH! What is 'man' (everyone chill - we will use the generic pronoun to indicate BOTH sexes okay?  )
Man is;
 but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes
are good in one way, but bad in many
is made up of seven billion subspecies each consisting of one specimen
the only creature that refuses to be what he is
is rated the highest animal, at least among all animals who returned the questionnaire
is the only kind of varmint sets his own trap, baits it, then steps in it
a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired
a being in search of meaning
is the only trained animal who expects his reward before he does his trick
Man is a strange animal, he doesn't like to read the handwriting on the wall until his back is up against it. ~Adlai Stevenson
The only quote I attribute an author to is the last one. For the others, well you all know how to look stuff up on the web right? This will lead you to other writers, philosophers, great thinkers, as well as comedians to assist you in your endeavors to write. Yes, I said write. Oh you know what I mean. Where you use your imagination, put fingers to keyboard and start tip-tapping those keys. Me? Oh I'm just here for the inspiring.
