He once had a normal head but (long myth here) it was cut off and an elephant head happened to be available and.....well..... This has nothing to do with ''romanticizing'' Hindu cultures.

If even a few photos of the gory remains from these mass shootings were made available, the ...

Lauren comments on Oct 29, 2023:

I agree. It's a tactic (albeit one of honesty) that worked when some photos from Vietnam became public. I can't find it at the moment but I read an article in which a forensic pathologist described some of what she saw at Sandy Hook, and it mentioned that some of the parents would have allowed it....

pamagain replies on Oct 30, 2023:

I agree, Lauren! And I suspect that, given their motives, the NRA would censor all news of these events.

Curious if any of you agree with my take on prayer.

My opinion--positive thinking can help oneself....not the neighbor's problems...not the climate change...Aunt Polly's psoriasis, etc.

pamagain replies on Oct 29, 2023:

@TomMcGiverin You're absolutely right....I wasn't thinking of health issues (other than successfully losing weight.) Listening to ourselves holding positive thoughts can change moods, improve one's self-image...that sort of thing.

It’s almost 4 pm so that means it’s time for my teatime treat…so here it is, a great live ...

There's good info in your post, Nice! But, the awful truth is that the rabid right-wing feels emboldened and wants to put women right back into the dark ages. Wishing Texans well....

He'll never give up! He's gotten away with shit before and he fully expects to get away with it again.

interesting addition to the growing witness list.

Happy birthday, Manfred Mann The Mighty Quinn [youtu.be]

Marionville comments on Oct 21, 2023:

He’s 83 today…happy birthday to him! It’s fitting that you post Manfred Mann here in World Music as although they were a British band, formed in London in 1962, Manfred himself was born in Johannesburg, South Africa to a Lithuanian Jewish family. He moved to England in 1961.

pamagain replies on Oct 21, 2023:

I'm still shaking my head.....he's EIGHTY THREE? 83??????

These people are just born full of hate…..😶 [yahoo.com]

pamagain comments on Oct 17, 2023:

Hmmm...are children born full of hate? Or is the ''loving, Xtian" doctrine of some parents responsible for the insertion of hatreds?

pamagain replies on Oct 19, 2023:

@Buck SOME, possibly....certainly not all!

OK, heard a cat crying outside a few hours before sunrise.

pamagain comments on Oct 18, 2023:

PLEASE have those two cats spay/nutered! Feral cats do so much damage to native songbirds, lizards, etc!

@Druvius Thank you!

If there is a God now would be a perfect time for him to make an appearance.

bookofmorons comments on Oct 17, 2023:

according to the Bible, God never had any problem killing the innocent but in every case it was his followers who did the actual killing (some times it was angels but . . .) and that what we are seeing unfold yet again. God could solve by simply showing up but I'm not holding my breath

pamagain replies on Oct 17, 2023:

I'm glad to hear that!

Is it REALLY any different from talking snakes, burning bushes, parting seas, 1000-year life-spans, etc, etc, etc? (Actually...I was charmed to see Lord Ganesha and his rat ''consort'' all over India. If you've lost something---he can help!)

Vaughan-Williams is not obscure in the UK. Though a life long agnostic, his love for his father, who was a protestant priest, and his love for his childhood homes spent in pastoral buildings and churches, never allowed him to fully step away from religion, hence his many quotes like the above, that...
