Artificially Inseminated Elephant

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (84311) • Daytona Beach, Florida 15h

A darling 5-month-old baby elephant made his debut at the St. Louis Zoo in Missouri. He is the first Asian elephant calf born through artificial insemination. His name is Jet. Just look at him

Juliaacv Elephants in general are such a majestic looking animal, and the little calves are adorable.

Literary limbo

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43368) • United States 17h

I'm mentioned that my husband Dale has written a book of several of his sermons. What a stressful endeavor! But between the two of us and our son in law who is a college professor, we finally got it ready to send to the printer....

Off house-sitting tomorrow

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351591) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Apr

Tomorrow we leave to house-sit for our niece who is going overseas with her husband and four sons. It’s about 30 minutes away in a northern suburb so it won’t be hard to come home if we need something. We’ll be back here next week...

Juliaacv That is so sweet of you to plant her garden and get it going while she is away, she will surely be pleased to come back home and enjoy the fresh vegetables that the plants will yield.

That's What Happens When You Complain in a Restaurant

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (53) • United States 18h

Hubby and I went to lunch after church today to a regional chain called Skyline Chili. They serve . . . chili. It's not something you see in the West Coast or Down South. I don't get their chili with spaghetti anymore...

Trial by fire

snowy @snowy22315 (188337) • United States 26 Apr

So, I was out in the car today in what I hoped would have been a pleasant cruise. Sun was shining brightly when I left. Shortly, after successfully getting gas, dutifully adding the fuel additive recommended, by the guy, I took...

Guardio

dreamertink @dfollin (25760) • United States 20h

Has anyone ever heard of Guardio? It is apparently a download for your phone to keep it safe from scams. I received an offer for a 7 day free trial and they would charge me after that. It said due today $0! It looked good so I...

Juliaacv I have never heard of it, but I am not in tune to anything like that since the software that we run on our home electronics can also be extended to our cellphones for protection. We have all of our devices protected that way.

The second hand life

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (63962) • Centralia, Washington 19h

I look around this house and realize that very little here was bought new. The chair I sit in and the bench and fake stove are new. All the fur kids are adopted. The light fixtures were owned by others first- the dining room's...

Yard Sale Was a Big Disappointment

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (84431) • United States 20h

Happy Sunday everyone! Our community yard sale was supposed to be yesterday but since it rained they postponed it until today. Originally I wasn't going to participate since I didn't have that much stuff gathered to sell but...

Juliaacv That is too bad, so much and organization goes into a yard sale, it is too bad that it was rained out. Now that you have some items, maybe you could sell them online, since you have already parted with them emotionally. Yard sales never really made a rebound...

Getting Warmer Again

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (115022) • Marion, Ohio 22h

It's supposed to get close to 70 today. I hope so. I would like to do some more stuff outside. I should do a load of laundry today too. Called the neighbor back. I was right, she was asking about Ghost cat. She seemed to be...

I guess a visit to the audiologist is not in order

snowy @snowy22315 (188337) • United States 22h

I took a free hearing test last night through the AARP. I never had such a thing before. Usually hearing tests consist of those tones that you had to indicate whether you have heard or not. This test was having to pick spoken...

Juliaacv I had to go to an audiologist for a hearing test when I was in my 40's. It was quite involved. I was in a sound-proof room, a tiny one, and the audiologist was across the glass from me. I had headphones on, and had to indicate when and which ear I would hear a...

Good morning 4/27

snowy @snowy22315 (188337) • United States 23h

It is a really cool Spring morning today. It is only 52 with a moderate breeze. At least the sun is out today though. It is only supposed to go up to 72 so it should be quite pleasant especially if the breeze goes down a bit. It...

Juliaacv It is probably 10 or 12 degrees warmer here currently, which is odd. But the sun is shining brightly. I think that I may vacuum and wash the car today. It seems like a pretty good day to do that. I have a new hand held cordless car vacuum that has a special...

Trump's behavior yesterday at the pope's funeral was a disgrace

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122526) • United States 27 Apr

and an embarrassment to the United States. It was perfect symbolism for the MAGA cult though. They should be so proud! First of all he demanded to be seated in the front row after it was reported that he would be in...

Juliaacv That behaviour is so shameful. Even his presence, based on the fact that he is anything but religious, especially given his actions, was disturbing and insulative worldwide. I wondered about him showing up in that blue suit, I thought is that the only suit he...

The collapse of a bridge

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351591) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Apr

The photo shows a bridge which has collapsed. It is Pumphrey’s Bridge in Western Australia and wasn’t very far from the farm where I grew up. You can see the guide posts on the collapsed part. There is a much stronger bridge over...

Juliaacv I think it amazing to see a bridge, made of sturdy logs still intact, for the most part, in your photo. It brings a sense of nostalgia, I remember seeing the log beams in the barn at home when I was a child.

Don't Believe All The Headlines You Read

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (53) • United States 27 Apr

No, the Trump Administration did NOT deport a two year old. The two year old was born (illegally) in the USA and is a United States Citizen. The mother was being deported for being here illegally. She had the kid with her. She...

Roast Pork.

rakski @rakski (135668) • Philippines 25 Apr

We had this last night for our dinner. Roast whole pork is common here especially when you have big events or celebrations. But sometimes you can buy it as well per kilo. I bought a kilo yesterday. It is really good. We still...

I Might Be Doing Something Exciting Today

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (53) • United States 26 Apr

I can't say yet what it is because that might jinx it. But it's BIG! It depends on how hubby feels when he wakes up. Today it's 53F degrees so far with partly cloudy skies. Not a particularly beautiful day. I'm going to...

After 70s and 80s it feels cold at 51 and cloudy. It's very wet feeling outside. So I will be inside most of the day. But I do need to get my bulbs into dirt. Ghost cat wanted out this morning. I will check to see if she's ready...

The very old is protecting the new

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351591) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Apr

These solar panels provide power for a pump which pumps water from a well to sheep troughs. I’ve written about the well previously. What intrigues me here is that the stand of the solar panel has a few attachments that need...

Juliaacv It is a great shot of something from the past and something current. My brother has a huge solar panel that he harnesses the power from to assist with the dryer which dries the grain in the bins.
