Keeping Bird Baths Clean

celticeagle @celticeagle (167025) • Boise, Idaho 4 Sep 23

I used to have a birth bath in our yard at my ex's place. It was fun to watch out the bedroom window and see the birds come and go. There's still a lot of time left to spend watching the birds enjoy the bird baths if you have one....

Are you a happy or lonely type of person?

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (83495) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 27 Aug 23

There are people despite lonely but their faces don't show it. In fact, I see their eyes smiling. My niece despite lonely but her eyes are sparkling that's why my sister feels irritated seeing her daughter lonely but smiling. I...

Nancy Zink There have been times when I felt awful for one reason or another, but I realized that I cannot always be happy so I just look forward to the next day.

Does your cat????

Loverbear @Loverbear (4918) • United States 23 Feb 09

I've noticed with my two flame point Siamese cats that they always seem to fart when they jump in our laps. My BF mentioned it tonight when Willy jumped in his lap. They aren't just "farts", they are lethal, nasty, smelly killer...

Nancy Zink I have had cats most of my life but this is the first time we got a Siamese. We adopted her from a local cat rescue and I have not heard her fart yet. I can imagine that is kind of funny if they are not very smelly.

Nancy Zink You certainly sound very busy these days. It seems like that to me also but I have to go back and read my calendar to see what I really did then. Hopefully I will get back on here again. It seems like I have been doing a lot of nothings.

It was a sad morning

Always smiling @allknowing (136481) • India 27 Mar 23

We have these live cables propped up on pillars in front of our gate Birds mostly crows perch on them. They are live wires and if two wires touch each other current is produced at that spot. And that happened yesterday morning...

Nancy Zink We don't have any wires hanging here. Everything is under ground and such an older community so I don't even know where the wires are. I wouldn't be able to see all the animals getting killed like that. That is awful.

Nancy Zink It is always so time consuming when illness is involved. Do what you can but don't run yourself down. I am sure other people are depending on you.

Always smiling @allknowing (136481) • India 29 Jan 23

Nancy Zink I love getting gift cards. I actually like them better than gifts as people don't always know my sizes or tastes but with gift card's I can use them any time and any place. They also make it easier as I don't have to figure out their likes and sizes.

What does suffering do to one's faith?

Ken @kanuck1 (4434) 25 Jun 22

Nancy Zink I would think that everyone suffers some kind of things in life. I think it is impossible not to have anything that bothers them. I think we would all like to be like that but I never heard of anyone being completely without it, even if just a little.

Nancy Zink I think the hibiscus plants are one of the easiest and prettiest plants to grow. They love the sun and there are so many different colors to choose from. They brighten up the gardens wherever they grow.
