Things I like

[finding peace]

I hear this song, and think, it is a new day, a new dawn, a new life.

I need the reminder that Ns don't rule my life anymore - and this song hits it for me.

Sorry everyone, music speaks so loudly to me; my escapism?

Peace

I love music also!! The best part is there IS a song for almost every single mood!!! Rage, bitterness, Sweetness, etc.

Totally corny but I like the old 40's/50's crooners.

I also like healthy convenience food. Yay throw some pre cut squash in a pot. Means I don't have to chop and chop with a dull knife.
Cauliflower washed and clean and ready to go.....YAY for something little being easy today!!!!!!!!

BTR – yes there is a song that will fit every emotion.  It makes me feel not so alone.

Not corny at all – I believe that music started the whole “revolution” of freethinking.

It was the first media, now we have the Internet, etc….

My kids are so much more hip than me…. lord my kid can text faster than I can reply…

Kind of scary, but more importantly, enlightening for them, as music was for me.

I will leave the cauliflower to you … not my thing (sorry – anything that looks like a brain, no matter how much cheese you cover it with … it still looks yucky to me…

Freshwater (Just me but I love your name and anything having to do with water, including you BTR – you are rocking on the water….)

Thank you so much for posting that link – I loved so much about that video –

The name of the tour – Resistance….

And most especially, how many in the audience could relate to  ….  did you see their faces?  Very sad, and yet enlightening, that so many could relate?

Peace

I like it when someone reminds me that it's a Holiday so I don't spend hours trying to get somewhere on a bus only to find out that there is a sign on a door that says "we are closed".

I like it when I have my stuff together and I know for myself that it's a Holiday and I can tell other people "Today is a Holiday"

I also like it when I don't know what day it is because that means I get to do something unrelated to industrious society...pushing dumb papers....doing dumb stuff that is important.....I can focus on something that really is significant.

I like the fantasy that some guy is going to bring me breakfast in bed   Ha HA
In the absence of the above I like deli counters with already prepared food
I like vegetable gardens but there are none in winter...unless someone has a green house
I like green houses
I like being busy I wish I was
I like the idea of being a business owner but I'm not
I like the hibernation of winter.
I like thrift stores.
I like silk scarves.
I like watching it snow.
I like being liked.
I like saying what I like.
I like cherios because they are easy to eat in my hand.
I like clean laundry.

[Meh]

I like orchids because they come in weird colors
I especially like the brown and beige ones because flower are not supposed to be brown and beige
It's like an orchid says "sure I can be pink and purple when I want to be"....but today I'm just going to be brown...and if you don't like too bad.

Also green orchids....Orchids are like the punk-rockers of the plant kingdom.

I like textiles a lot, I like handmade rugs that go on the floor or on the wall, I like quilts, I like curtains, I like fabric stores just to see the bolts.

I love to see what other people can make. I like makers.
I like nice furniture. I like clean places that have no dust. I like wood floors without wall to wall carpet.
I like the calmness of a snowy day.
I would like being snowed in somewhere far away from here.
I like soup. I like cook books, recipes, I like japanese food. I miss chinese food. I like noodles...I like lots of stuff.

I have a friend who raises orchids.
Gets to go to DC and fill up tables for White House stuff.

But they work constantly.

(I like your idea about the brown ones, bravo.)

"Everyone you meet comes with baggage. Find someone who loves you enough to help you unpack".....

?? Not sure about this one...

"Everyone you meet comes with baggage. Find someone who loves you enough to help you unpack".....

Hubs' baggage was physical - all those things he bought because they were "neat" or dups he bought because he couldn't find the other one he owned (because he's not organized). My baggage was emotional - and I'm still unpacking mine... helping hubs sort his... and we're purging, going on 12 years so far. Somewhere in the midst of all that baggage... is us.

Tumeric tea.  There are recipes online.
Very tasty with honey and I like the flavor of black pepper in it.
Tumeric, mustard greens, and a few other products are supposed
to be the best thing to include to fight Alzheimers, cancer, etc.

Tumeric is also an alternative med recommendation for eczema & psoriasis... in one theory of what causes these. I'm thinking curry now...

I like reading about women's history. I like to put my little life into a bigger context.

I like thinking about the greater social voicelessness versus personal voicelessness.

Women were quite voiceless for a long long time (hundreds? yrs.). Women were not supposed to discuss any part of a sermon in church with others they were supposed to go home and ask their husbands if they had any questions (think this was puritans). It was against the law for them to speak in church. It was legal for husbands to beat their wifes, the right for a husband to beat his wife was protected by law. I saw an old ink cartoon from this past era (around 1630) of husbands beating their wives--they turned wife-beating into a joke.

When I was younger I didn't quite "get it" why women change their last names over to the man's last name. It's because a wife was a type of servant/slave and the husband owned her. Women had to have their husbands permission to leave the house.

Husbands could unceremoniously hand a wife a slip of paper and they were divorced. A woman could rarely initiate a divorce herself.
Husbands could legally "cheat" on their wives. For the wives there were laws against her cheating on her husband.
Women were not supposed to write poetry or publish books.

This is so pleasant to read. Reminds me of the good things in life.

I came across a bit of news about a mystery artist in Edinburgh, Scotland  who was leaving beautiful little sculptures about the town. They were mostly placed in libraries and museums. They are exquisite and made from minutely cut up pieces of books. They are usually tableaus of famous scenes like from Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

If you look up mystery artist Edinburgh you will find them. Every once in a while one would appear and everyone would get very excited. Eventually, there were ten.  The artist really is a mystery. Yet they are so wonderful. There are little messages on them too.

I really love that.
