Mother Nature Loves Me
Nobody’s Fool
Well, I’ve been thinking about this: I may be the biggest fool around. Why?
I”m too softhearted. Can there BE such a thing? And is there a fine line between being soft hearted and just a stupid fool?
Mmmm…..
Because I’ve just got this little blog, I won’t go into my BIGGEST mistakes, BUT…I was thinking tonight: I’m a bit too sentimental when it comes to mother nature. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a die-hard tree hugger, (Even though I HAVE hugged a few) but because I am alone much of the time, the nature around my house…well, it’s my family. You see, I don’t have a family. None. I don’t talk to my son, or my brother. Both my parents are dead. I am married, but we don’t talk much. Soo…I talk to my…plants.
And I pretent that they hear me. Yes!
Tonight I noticed this while I was raking leaves:
Oh-oh. THAT is right underneath my huge gumball tree. It’s just a baby. But, once upon a time I ignored another baby just like that one…and it did grow,the years when by and …well, that tree becamse a real problem.
Who knew a tree could grow between a fence and a concrete porch? On the other side of the fence is the driveway…pushed up about two feet. It’s just a few feet from the back of the house, and the only good news about this tree is that a tornado hit our street, all the other trees fell on the roofs of house, but this big guy didn’t move an inch.
Saved by a fool.
I tried pulling up that little tree a month ago, but it’s attached to it’s mother’s root.
Sigh.
And what is wrong with me? I feel bad just pulling up a newly born baby tree? OMG…they arrested the 75 years old women for praying for a baby’s life in a abortion clinic recently: She got 2 years. If I went near one, I’d get life plus 60.
I also talk to my plants. Well, it seems to work. And it’s not just plants that I love. For instance I just saw this butterfly on my trash can today: Yes, I talked to ‘him’ for a bit. He seemed to enjoy it.
But…you want to know the REAL problem? I can’t kill anything. Well, I did once, a mama rat. She had 19 babies and they were nasty things really. Rat…mmmm, they were right near the house. They got there because I was feeding the birds.
I know. Stupid.
The worst of my ‘mental problem’ is I had a mouse investation in my house several years ago. Because they were sooooo cute, like litttle gerbils, I put up mouse traps where they live…and I drove a mile somewhere and released them. I caught over 60 mice, and it took me a year to clean out all fhe nests from the house. They also destroyed a couch,and a matress, and lots of clothes…yeah.
They are gone thank goodness. Nevertheless, because of my love or thought that all animals on the planet have a right to live, I am..pretty…what’s wrong with me?
Seriously? Jordan Perterson would say I need a life. I’ve been told I’m ‘sensitive.’ But I think it’s just becase I live isolated and alone. So…they are all my…friends…and bring me joy. It’s pretty simple really.
I’ve never killed a rattlesnake, because if you don’t bother them they won’t bother you.
To me, there is a balance in nature, and I knew that all the mice I took and released in the woods, would probably end up as somebodies dinner. But hey, that’s mother nature.
And I’m a hypocrite because I LOVE hamburgers.
Anyway, I’m the fool.
And I don’t care. I like the fact that I am “sensitive.” And even if nobody else understands it…
To me, it’s one of my finest traits.
I love…just about everything.
P.S. Don’t get me around a baby elephant.
Before Eve there was: Eurynome
Nobody Reads
Every religion in the world has a creation story, and the Greeks had one that I thought was interesting.
From the Greek Myths
*******
In the beginning, Eurynome, the Goddess of All Things, rose naked from Chaos, but found nothing substantial for her feet to rest upon.
NOBODY: That’s me in the morning. Chaos. Where’s the floor?
And therefore divided the sea from the sky, dancing lonely upon its waves.
NOBODY: I divide the blankets from my feet. I look out the window. The sea and the sky are there., Eurynome already took care of it.
She danced towards the south, and the wind set in motion behind her seemed something new a part with which to begin a work of creation.
NOBODY: I find the bathroom. I will refrain from taking about my new ‘part.’
Wheeling about, she caught hold of this North Wind, rubbed it between her hands, and behold! The great serpent Ophion.
NOBODY: —‘rubbed the North Wind between her hands? A SERPENT? Ha ha…a serpent in my bed?
Eurynome danced to warm herself, wildly and more wildly, until Ophion, grown lustful, coiled about those divine limbs, and was moved to couple with her.
NOBODY: I like how the Greeks used snakes as a metaphor for …well, it was a lustful snake! Couple is a nice word don’t you think?
Now, the North Wind, who is also called Boreas, fertilizes: which is why mares often turn their hind-quarters to the wind and breed foals without aid of a stallion.
NOBODY: All the horse needed was a bit of wind up their ass. I can just imagine the young Greek teenagers telling dad “It was WIND!” I was just walking!
So, Eurynome was likewise got with child.
NOBODY: This happens STILL all over the world. Wake up to the snake and you might get with child. But according to Elon Musk, NOT ENOUGH OF THIS WIND IS HAPPENING! Get windy guys.
Next, she assumed the form of a dove, brooding on the waves and, in due process of time, laid the Universal Egg.
NOBODY: I think I’ll stop here. Out of that egg, Ophion the snake coiled around the egg, and out came all things that existed the children: sun, moon, Planets, stars the earth with its mountains and rivers, its trees, herbes and living creature.
In the end they made their home on Mount Olympus, and HE claimed to be the author of the universe which really pissed her off, so she kicked his head with her heel, and banish him to the dark caves below the earth.
Nobody: Let that be a lesson to all you guys: the first creator of the universe was a woman, who got mad because her serpent got her pregnant and then told everybody HE created everything.
Don’t get the woman pissed off.
I can’t help but wonder if God, by making Eve eating the apple of wisdom under the tree, made the WOMAN the villain because the man didn’t touch it. BUT the serpent was there…and we can imagine what else Eve did with that serpent…it got them kicked out of the garden.
That’s what I get for reading Greek literature.
Soft porn. Haha…sorry.
And the poor lowly snake gets blamed every single time.
If People Were More Like Elephants.
Nobody Flashes
I’m a real sucker for birds and elephants. Don’t ask me why. I just am.
This is so sweet, and it reminds me of WHY we’ve heard the Gates talk about Africa, but have you ever heard ANY famous movie star or CEO try to put their money into saving the Africans from slaughtering nature’s greatest gifts?
No, they just blame everything on global warming. And by the way, Windmills kill THOUSANDS of birds all over the world.
Why don’t the liberals care about that?
Such hypocrites.
It’s all Happening at the Zoo…
Nobody Flashes
We went to the St. Louis Zoo today. If you’ve never been there, I think it was voted Number one Zoo in the nation. It’s free…..if you can walk a couple of miles because parking is $15. And if you have kids, figure on spending at least $60 to see the Kids’ zoo, and pet the sting rays.
And toys.
The biggest draw is the one Polar Bear. He is a real ham…and HUGE.
Here he is swimming underwater and high-fiving some young fans.
I don’t take many pictures with my cell phone, but this one was interesting. Looks like he’s doing the Obama bow.
This was some kind of big goat…on the extinction list. In fact, most ALL of the animals at the zoo were on the extinction list. And more than half from a small eastern African country. Frankly, I wish Bill Gates would stop genetically engineering mosquitoes and buy that frigging country and put the people to work bringing BACK the extinct animals they are killing off.
We could use this guy in the WH press room. 
Okay. I wasn’t about to try to get him to turn around. 
Believe it or not….these are babies. 
This python had me almost calling 911. He looked suicidal. He did NOT move at all. Really depressing. I never thought in my lifetime I’d feel sorry for a big snake, but today was the day. If I could have freed this guy, I would have. This guy was huge. Pythons are NOT extinct. Thank the drug lords. In fact, I read yesterday that there are more tigers now living in back yards than there are tigers in the wild. Thank the drug lords and the rappers. 
Another high-five. It was too dark to get a picture of this guy, but he was huge and having the time of his bear life high fiving everybody!
You can tell by his paw that he was a good 1500 pounds, if not more…and he’s still growing! I didn’t get his name, but I did get a 3-D polar bear picture for $3.00!
Anyway, sorry I’m not a better photographer, which means, if you can, the Zoo in St. Louis is one of the best attractions in the country. If you don’t have the money to go around the world, I’d start here.
A day away from liberal is ALWAYS a great idea.
And just to note: here’s two I wish were on the extinct list. Let’s make sure they get there. 
Nobody’s Email: Dolphins in Dubai
Nobody Gets Email:
Well, there is one thing they do very well in Dubai, besides drive very expensive cars, and that’s train dolphins. I couldn’t find the original video sent to me, but this is almost the same shots. These dolphins are just fantastic!
I have NO idea how they get these wonderful creatures to jump and do tricks, do you? Or what it must feel like to ride on the backs of dolphins..but they have been known to save people from shark attacks in the ocean and I can attest that this is true. It happened to me.
It was the first time I had gotten up on water skis. My father was driving the boat, heading out of the channel to the Gulf of Mexico, and a shark was following me, BUT…within a few minutes I had a whole pod of dolphins surrounding me, and when I couldn’t hold on any longer (and scared to death) I let go, and swam like the dickens to the boat. I was about 9. I was SURE I was going to be eaten. Rattle snakes I was used to, but shark?
Nope.
I never got up on skies again, but I really do think those dolphins ran that shark off. At least that’s what my dad told me. This happened in the bay around Naples, Florida, which has all kinds of sharks, dolphins, rays, and other wonders of the seas…like the gentle Manatees, who when I was a kid, look like elephants in the water.
While I LOVE the trees of the Midwest and Eastern Seaboard, I DO miss the ocean. Especially the warm waters of the Gulf.
Anyway, enjoy…and have a wonderful Sunday!

If ONLY They Could Talk
Nobody’s Flashes.
Okay. I’ve been pretty busy…long story….that I wont’ go into. Friday night I found out that over 40 people were “using” my computer. WHY were they using my computer? And who WERE these people? And was my computer being used to launder money in Honduras or Liberia?
Anyway, it took me some time, to get it fixed. If it’s the government that was “using” my computer, I don’t think it matters what I do to fix it…right?
I was going to post some political video today, but heck. It’s SUNDAY. WHY?
We get enough of politics… so enjoy this little video I found on YouTube, which pretty much proves that birds are smarter than you think.
And Dolphins, and dogs, and….basically most any animal that exists.
If ONLY they could talk…

–just an AWESOME picture for Sunday. It’s from National Geographic so I don’t THINK it’s photoshopped. Pretty much sums up how I feel every time Hillary or Obama opens their mouth.

Zoologist Mark Carwardine must have a hot line to the Blue Whale psychic network.
It looks like this Blue Whale is showing up, just for him.
Enjoy!

Nobody’s Email: The Birds
Nobody Gets Email
It’s so secret that I simply LOVE birds. I find them simple, beautiful, and very smart. I once read somewhere that some birds are as smart as dogs. Anybody who has watched a trained parrot due tricks has to admit, that’s they are far from stupid. They are GREAT parents. And come in all sizes and colors. 
Having said that: Here’s some of God’s greatest wonders, in my Nobody’s Opinion. ! Enjoy!
(Thanks to Pattie)
Okay. It’s not a bird. But it IS an adorable picture!
Nobody’s Email: For the Love of a Badger
Nobody Gets Email
I was going through some old email today, and found this. I might have posted it before…but seeing it the second time, I found the guy who owned this Honey Badger just as fun as the Badger himself.
He really LOVES that little guy.
Enjoy…and be amazed.

Nobody Flashes Birds
Nobody Flashes
I’m a big lover of birds, ever since my parents bought me a baby duck once for Easter, who unfortunately did not live long due to the fact that my mother didn’t want him in the house.
Really, why not? Better than a buffalo.
You don’t put a baby duck outside when Florida swamps are just a block away, no matter HOW well-built the dog house is. The loss of my baby duck forever imprinted on my mind, birds…and how wonderful they truly are. (Okay, some people like lions…and yes, I still miss my little Molly.)
Here’s two of my favorite examples of WHY we should be more amazed at the little creatures flying around us all.
Enjoy! and Happy Sunday!
(Thanks to JR)
Nobody’s Email: Nobody Does it Better than National Geographic
Nobody Gets Email
If you are like me, my day is too busy to flick around Youtube for entertaining videos, that’s why I love it when I get one of these.
National Geographic….Nobody Does it Better!
Enjoy!

Hawk VS Drone
Nobody Flashes
—-Just about the most popular video of this week….a hawk destroys a man’s small drone.
Something tells me a lot of people are going to be training hawks soon…just like the Saudi Kings.
And another thing….has Amazon really THOUGHT about how the drone delivery that they want to start is going to go over with the big birds?
Can you imagine your new toaster lying damaged on your front lawn?
Not to mention…books. Birds LOVE to chew books. I ought to know.
I once knew a parrot that eat half a picnic table.
Anyway, It’s Sunday. Obama is playing golf, and for a brief moment in time, we can all enjoy the silence…and the birds singing….and soaring…and attacking your neighbor’s new toy.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
