The famous random facts thread...#41

I saw a flock of parakeets today. I didn't even know they flocked. There was about 25 or 30 of them buzzing around chirping like mad in a kind of circular pattern, but never in the same place; hard to discribe what they were doing. Then they all landed (out of my sight). They were all the same color, but one.

I live in the Arizona desert, so it was a strange sight to see. I heard they're all from peoples escaped pets, now flourishing in the wild.

My roommate and I are making all kinds of things we are gunna sell. I'm learning to crochet. We have and are making quilts, tote bags, crocheted things things like baby bootie, hair scrunchies, frig magnets, quilts, we have wood we are gunna make them into pictures and paint them.. We trace pictures gunna paint them and sell them. we get the pictures from coloring boks its mostly holiday pictures. Thats not everything were doing but some.

 

wow...you beat me in variety...my daughter and her gf's did exactly the same thing..they were called the material girls...one of them made cool stuff out of old vinyl banners from a sign shop..purses and laptop bags...laptop bags are easy to make and every student needs one ...i sit in front of the television and smoke doobers and doodle with paint onto old chairs i get free...and now people are remembering and giving me stuff free all the time.

i live in a tourist town...there is studio tours every week end..they see the high priced crap and come and buy a chair for 80 bucks...cha ching

 

Wwwwww

Well she wants to start her own business and people love that stuff. shes teaching people to crochet. If I could figured out how to get these pictures on here from my phone I could show you some baby booties and stuff. I can't help with the crochet stuff much cause I'm still learning... But I can help decorate them like making the butterfies wimgs pretty with glitter and ribbons on the mouse tail. Those are some of the magnets.. I can get on that sewimg machine. Smoke one first then three hours feels like one hour... I can sew faster than I can learn to crochet. We picked up a pattern at hobby lobby today forthese cute aprons.. That will be a new project..
Thats pretty cool about the chairs profit.
People will pay good money for those quilts and such but were have reasonable pricing.

 

Apparently, it's decided that I cannot eat chicken and milk gravy together. It's gotten me both times I've done it recently. I can eat chicken; I can have milk; but not together. That's the new rule I suppose. I hate this stupid guessing game my stomach plays with me.

 

I know ya shouldn't really laugh at somebody else's tie pin errors ... but that one had me rolloing on teh floor. Oooooh ... the mental images that brings to mind (well, my mind, at any rate ...) :mickey:

 

Oh Aerianne! I really feel for ya, hun.

I've got similar problems and have been having a devil of a time workign out what the "issue" foods are. It never occurred to me that it might have been food combinations ...

 

As a sovereign citizen of Planet Earth, I declare Nov. 11, 2011 to be World Freedom Day. On 11-11-11, I invite all the people of the world to reclaim whatever freedom and power have been lost to them in all aspects of our common life – politics, economics, education, religion, relationships, medicine, and all other areas.
As a non-violent act of conscious resolve, I ask everyone on Earth to stop whatever they’re doing at 11:11 (local time) on 11-11-11 and spend one minute in silence, not working (unless in emergency services), not consuming, and not distracting ourselves.
Those who safely can I invite to come down to the center of the village, town or city to join with our brothers and sisters everywhere and spend one minute in silence, upon leaving which everyone will utter the simple statement: “This world is free. It has always been free. It will always be free.”
At 11:11 on 11/11/11 we’ll show each other how strong and universal is the desire on Earth to take back our political freedom, economic justice, religious tolerance, racial understanding, social harmony, and global peace.
We have no intention of harming anyone in the process of expressing ourselves on this matter. It’s not necessary and it’s not desirable or advisable. Peace and freedom won by violence does not last. Peace and freedom that leaves residue invites retaliation. We don’t want to leave a residue or invite retaliation. And we don’t need to in order to win back for ourselves our peace, freedom, and harmony.
There’s no need to organize anything for World Freedom Day. There’s no need for leadership of this event. Everyone is a leader of it, an organizer, and a participant. The action at the heart of it, lasting but one minute, will have accomplished its end no matter what the result. The thought will have been shared by everyone on Earth who knows about it that this world will have its freedom, harmony, and peace restored and will not settle for less.
We’ve Entered a New Age
Whether we know it or not, we’ve entered a new era of human existence. Some call it the New Age; others the Sat Yuga; others the Age of Aquarius. However you refer to it, it’s an age in which humanity will have new economic and financial arrangements, worldwide relief from poverty, labour-saving technology, democratic regimes, racial equality, religious tolerance, and world peace.
Our new world works on the basis of service to others, rather than service to self. It’s a world that honors the peacemaker rather than the warmaker, the compassionate rather than the ruthless, the uniters rather than the dividers.
The 1% of the world who’ve been concentrating wealth and power in their own hands are welcome to join the 99% in building a world that works for everyone, with no one left out. We intend to welcome everyone and to see to the needs of those who suffer, whether from hunger, poverty, illness, age, or disability.
If we are to be poor in this new world, which I don’t believe we will, then let us share that poverty equally.
Ours is a world where Muslim, Christian, Jew and anyone else is is seen as worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven by dint of being a child of God, where people of all ways of life, orientations, hopes, and dreams have the same right to pursue their own wishes, without interference, providing they harm no one else.
It’s a world that no longer tolerates political corruption, financial fraud, environmental sabotage, media censorship, citizen surveillance, and manufactured wars.
It’s a world that serves people not profits, the divine in everyone and not the glitter in society, and the planet as our home and not as a resource to be plundered.
There is no natural obstacle to people everywhere being free. There is no reason why anyone should languish under a political dictatorship or economic slavery. And there is no reason to accept, any longer, that each individual does not have the right to say how their lives will be run, what they will worship, whom they will befriend or marry, etc.
We’ve reached the stage in the evolution of humanity when we can throw off all chains and restrictions and emancipate the mind and heart. We’ve reached the stage where we don’t wish any longer to be divided and conquered but to be reunited and reconciled. We’ve reached the stage where we’re ready to forgive what has gone before as long as what has gone before now comes to an end.
Please circulate this call to action to everyone you can reach.
11-11-11 is a day when all of humanity breathes free, knows it is free, and celebrates being free. We are free. We have always been free. We will always be free.
Namaste,
Steve Beckow
