In response to "Old Dog. New Tricks"

That's so funny. It's also true of cats. My older cat won't climb up but now that our kitten does, he's been climbing and exploring places he never did before. Sometimes they just need the right incentive.

In response to "Is there an answer?"

People here in the United States were warned about climate change years ago. Our Vice President in 1993, Al Gore, was an environmentalist. He talked incessantly about the issue warning something needed to be done to avoid destroying our planet. People laughed at him denying there was any such problem. He was right, they were wrong. I need to answer this prompt if I have time today. Have a good one!

In response to "Love "

59 years is incredible.

I can't imagine a love that intense either. And I'm very much in love with my husband. It's my second marriage, we've been together 20 years and married 16 years. If I had foolishly stayed in my first marriage it would have been 50 years. I left him before our 30th.

I've read a lot of his sonnets and wondered the same thing about the woman. I didn't realize there were 100 of them Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

that's a lot of mushy stuff.

I'm sorry I knew that but blanked it out with all the chaos. Good luck with the Surgery!

I’m not involved in GOT Lyn. I have surgery next week and will be missing in action fora week or so. I just reviewed Lilly’s contribution last night.

I have never been able to embroider, though I tried valiantly in youth - a lovely skill.
That's heartbreaking, your shrunken jumper gift -

In response to "Love "

There are different types of love. Her in the western colony we obsess with romantic/sexual love. The sex, however, must never be directly shown; we're cultural prudes.

Neruda wrote 100 sonnets for his future wife.

I mostly love (pine) from afar.

In response to "Love "

Hi, enger
I wonder how many sonnets Neruda wrote. She must have been quite a gal!
Love is such a complex concept. What is love? The oft asked question to which no one has an answer. Would it be to sacrifice oneself to save another? I can accept a parent might do that to save a child. However that reminds me of the time I caught my ten year old son poking a lighted stick into a jerry can of petrol. I screamed, “don’t do that!” And I ran from the garage! So much for a mother’s love.

I believe Neruda was writing sonnets to his wife; although, I don't doubt your viewpoint. I remember falling in love 57 years ago. I was 14. But 'love' has never gotten me anywhere, other than helping me survive.

Opportunity knocks.

PROMPT July 3rd

Describe a missed opportunity you encountered, and how things might have been different if you hadn't missed it.

Mostly you can’t tell if you missed an opportunity, it could be simply a matter of a “sliding door” moment when you took a different direction.
The only time we contemplated an offer or opportunity was when a friend called my husband one day and asked him if he would like to go in business with him. On further investigation the business opportunity was for us to go into the central desert in Australia and muster camels! Did you know that Australian camels are the only disease free camels in the world? Maybe if my husband had taken up the offer we would have become very rich because no one supplies camels internationally as far as I know. Camel milk sells for over $25 per litre, its supposed to be great for people with allergies. I could have been milking camels and making all sorts of beauty products. Just got to find a catchy name for my business. Oh, yes, I forgot we turned down the offer🧐
