OK, so I'm feeding my flock and the Jehovah's Witnesses come up with their literature for me. (feeding my flock - get it?!  Do I crack you up as much as I do myself?!  Sorry, off track again, sigh.)

And, no shit, the cover title says: "PORNOGRAPHY."  Whoa, this is not what I expected of this religion! 

OK, OK, I am a proponent of faithful marriage/relationships and I am not fond of porn, but the whole thing hit my funny bone just so - so I have to play devil's advocate - you understand.

So, curious I checked it out - all in the name of good investigative reporting, mind you.  Here's a sample box in the article (typos are mine, but the weird grammar is all theirs):

They are giving me a choice?  I could pick this apart on both sides (and get lots of folks upset with me) but I'll just let you do that for yourselves.  

I don't know about you, but I don't think that any of this stuff changed any minds on the subject.  Again the worst part is that I'm not a fan of porn.  While I'm not knocking the Jehovah's Witnesses, I am making fun of the article that was written.

************

Here, I thought prawnography (click for link) was really bad, not silly... only I guess I didn't know how to spell it before.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.

So, as stated before, I have chickens.  Of all shapes and sizes.  About 50 of them.

Chickens are very hard on the earth.  High nitrogen poop & constant digging makes the ground muddy and smelly.  We move the panels around to give them new grass every few days, however the common ground is always stressed.

There is such a thing as a pecking order.  The hen with the least seniority gets picked on by everyone else, but is not allowed to peck on anyone above her.  The top bird, on the other hand, can pick/peck on down the line with nary a problem and everyone in-between knows who they can peck and who they can't.

I think this one looks the worst.

But she is not alone.  These ladies are also a little chilly around the tail.  Sorry about the focus, I didn't change the shutter speed.

Thing is, once chickens see blood, they pick and peck at it, causing more trauma and it can kill the victim.  Kinda reminds me of bullying.

LATELY, I've been seeing around here lots of passion without compassion... it's one of the reasons I dislike discussing religion & politics.  However, I have read a few posts where the 'chickens start pecking' and the stuff that comes out of people's um, keyboards, makes me wonder "WTF is going on?!"  Once the sharks start to circle, watch-out!  I've seen people calling for the death of children with peanut allergies.  I've seen mothers criticized viciously for their fairly normal parenting techniques.  I've seen people harass others for whom they date.  Finally I've seen posts about bullies become bullish in the comment section.  I think I need to stay away from the themed featured areas...

I also would like it to be known that any trolls around here will be deleted and blocked.  If people can't treat each other with respect, they can go elsewhere to do it.

I knew I hated people.

I think the food section is pretty silly!

I think that the article above shows one aspect of how people have been hypnotized by their cats.  You thought that tail swishing was just a pissed off cat, but NO! you are being told by the government to 'help the economy grow' via your pets to make ridiculous sales & purchases.  I have escaped from this because my cat is a Manx type.

Well, I found this picture in my e-mail today and all you have to do is watch your pet goldfish to get un-mesmerized and then follow the directions below that pic to keep from purchasing garbage:

It's the best use of duct tape I've seen in a long while!

So today is the day I find out about my cat. She's at the vets awaiting exploratory surgery. Putting out good thoughts for her today.

Stop nicking your prose!
Go ahead and sick on none-one else's prose

I think my footprints thing is messed up! A couple of days ago I had a total of 67 for the week. Now I have a total of 29 for the week.

The Country Mouse & the City Mouse - Chapter 17

starring my sister & me

Awhile ago I joined a spinner's group.  When I told my sister about it, she was excited for me.

I was telling her about where we meet, and that we all bring these wonderful goodies to munch on, while the hostess makes a terrific pot of soup, "...and I didn't even get dizzy, ha, ha, ha..."

J- asked me how long did I spin.

"I don't really know, I didn't keep track of time.  I spent a lot of time talking with the spinners about gossip, about families, about philosophy, etc."

"I have a friend who works in our office that joined a spinning group.  She spun under an hour her first time." J- said.

"I guess I was spinning on and off the whole time I was there.  We got there at 10 and left at 2." I replied.

"What kind of spinning do you do?" J- asked, rather perplexed.

"Of course I was just kidding about being dizzy J-.  I spun wool.  All the spinners spin mostly wool, although Sue showed us how to spin flax; that was neat because I thought you needed a different wheel.  What kind of spinning does your friend do?" I asked.

"Stationary bicycle spinning."

I guess I am just a real country mouse.

It's good to know that I'm somewhat desirable.  Since my tongue is firmly implanted in my cheek, perhaps it is myself who wishes to eat me... but that would require more energy than I can muster at the moment.  *Note to self: Get more sleep before self-cannibalization.*

In looking up the spelling for cannibal, I found a site for Cannibal The Musical! It says it's a black comedy and I would imagine that it would have to be.  I don't think I'm really all that interested to be honest.  Let me know if you find anything worthwhile there if you go. 

My eldest daughter likes zombie movies and I never really got into them.  It is a shameful secret, I know.  Like the middle school dance thing - I am too old to exist in that world.  My 'almost as old as me' friend would balk at this, "Really?!  You don't like zombie movies?"  Then again, there is plenty that I do that my daughter doesn't comprehend AND my friend still isn't as old as I am. 

Not sure why I'm on this track, but it's an odd path, and I like odd paths...

So, I haven't visited Oatmeal in a while, and it is such a silly place to read - maybe not as weird as sponge monkey, but still a fun place.  If you haven't been before, it's worth a look-see and if you have, go back again - just for a good giggle.  Please note that all words in red are linked to their websites.

Hope you all have a tasty day!

OK, I've been on here for, like, 15 minutes and no one has written anything new yet. I'm bored.
