What Makes You Smile?

Jehanne @Jehanne (1518) 16 May

Ali Canary That's such a weird, pessimistic way to see things. We DO have fairies, elves, mermaids, dragons, and vampires, because people have creativity and imagination. That's what makes ME smile.

Ali Canary It's too bad those cutouts don't scare the mice! I have heard about the awful problem with mice in Australia. I guess getting cats to control them isn't practicable because cats might also go after songbirds and native rodents, right? What can be done?

Ali Canary I was already an adult when these bands became popular, but I enjoyed the music and can still bop along to their hits. By that time, though, I knew what a meat grinder the music business was.

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (97234) • Daytona Beach, Florida 30 Apr

Ali Canary It's very pretty, indeed! It reminds me of cobalt, which is also pretty dangerous, as it is radioactive. In small quantities it makes a lovely pigment, though.
