We often personify our dogs so they give us reminders to make sure that even though they maybe our best friend they’re still animals. It isn’t just the food and other items they put in their mouth that makes us confident that this is the case but but what they often enjoying sniffing is on no human palate. Yet what tops it off with me is the licks they are willing to give. For I never have to worry about a loved one deciding to lick my feet in the middle of the night but some how this is still an animal attraction. Dogs as human as they may seem at times insure through their actions that they are best friends… in the animal kingdom.
Inclusive & Inclusive
As faith communities continue to struggle against the secular world there is a tendency for them to try to become more inclusive without really being inclusive. For they might open up doors for individuals to participate in services that have felt left behind but do they then close the doors of those that are holding them. Faith communities must be inclusive to those who have felt that they were in the back of the bus without having those that are driving get off. For example Shul’s/Synagogues should open up new doors for women and young adults to participate in spiritual life while making ways for those more observant to feel comfortable attending as well (Mechitza area). Inclusive should be for all those who seek a closer relationship to G-D whichever steps they are willing to take as long as they will not be stepping on others. Or if you open the door on one side make sure the window is open on the other side.
Two Rebels
It’s much easier to walk a different path when someone is walking along side of you. This is especially true when they’re keeping pace with the way you are walking. Last night I had 2 separate incidents that proved such a point where normally I walked alone, there was suddenly an active partner by my side. A matter of fact I was happy to let them take a lead so my feet could rest from the walk. Four feet is better then two when walking a different route.
Assad’s Diversion
As Syrian imposed leader Assad wind downs killing his opposition he will divert any resources to attacking Israel. This will be done so as to get a strong military response from Israel that will appear to “kill civilians” and he believes will unite his people to his side. While at the same time divert world attention from the slaughter of innocence he has caused.
Israel must respond to such provocations but in a way that puts this evil man back into his box. It must locate most of Assad’s missile program then put the air force on a seek and destroy mission. Israel should also warm Assad (through it’s back channels) that it is more then happy to supply his waning opposition with the resources to continue the fight and bring it directly to his front door, if he continues such provocation. With a new man in the White House that will look the other way when Israel responds, Assad should realize that if he continues to play with fire he will put his regime into the ashes of history that it deserves sooner rather then later.
St Patty’s Day- It’s Easy to be Green
CAN I REALLY DRINK W ONE BEER?
Finally a day that it’s easy to be green. You actually can celebrate your Greenness no matter what species you are and even if your a Muppet. I don’t know why I started so late but it’s better late then never. So let’s say it loud and proud Happy St. Patty’s day to all! Now pass some Corn Beef and Cabbage with my Beer.
ON HOLD
I’ve recently shot a whole bunch of arrows in various business/entertainment opportunities and now am waiting to see if any land close to the target. It truly doesn’t bother me too much if they miss. For all I’ve invested is a bit of time and maybe even some effort but if you’re not in the game then you’ll never know whether you can play. Now the ball is many other’s court to take that shot and while I wait I think I’ll take the time to enjoy where I am today as I notice that beauty in a whole different peaceful light.
Better then Coffee
Coffee appears to be losing it’s effect when driving to work during early morning hours but Sirius/XM Comedy Channels has given me that extra jolt instead. I’ve tried a variety of stations to help lift my head when the eyes are getting a bit tired yet nothing has had the same effect as laughing has. Maybe it brings out the animal instinct in me or gets me back to my youthful spirit, all I know is it works. So from now on instead of an extra jolt of sugar in the pot I’ll take two maybe three laughs on the side.
Cheerios Wildflower Seeds- Giveaway
Cheerios has pledged to give a 100 million Wildflower seeds to help bee’s as well as help Cheerios. I guess this gets people to think about the problem that is occurring with the decreased population of bees but many will say not a sting in my backyard (maybe my neighbors). It might also remind people about the Honey in Honey Nut Cheerios but I wonder if this campaign will have the impact that Cheerios hopes it will? For it’s one thing to care about the bee population but another to have them nearby. I’ve done my part and will be getting those seeds shortly where they will be planted further in the wild. Please feel free to do your part with this link (below) and bring the bees back just not to close.
Flying Back …
Are you kidding me Spring is in less then a week, what the hell is this white stuff!? I should have listened to my cousin Tweety who told me to stay in Florida but I figured what does she know, she’s in a cage. She must not have been watching the Fake news like me. Now I’m stuck here in NY and my wings are freezing. I was just trying to beat the spring rush and it appeared so warm earlier in the season. I guess if you don’t get hit in January and February, March is a bitch. Florida it’s time for a quick defrosting again.
Would You Stay?
Would you stay in the “Bates Hotel” with a person that looked strangely similar to Norman Bates as the hotel operator? We all know it’s a fictional show so if a hotel opened that allowed you to experience some of the effects but you still left in one living piece would you enter? Is this an experience that would leave a fun or fright mark on you as if it stabbed you in the back. Maybe all you would need is a nice hot shower or maybe not?
FURTHER NOTE- Had a bit more time to catch up and complete season 4 yesterday which left some marks on me to start season 5 when Net Flix brings it back up.
