My friend (not yet on Gaia) Jennifer Dick, told me about 350 poems, for awareness on climate change, perhaps you'd like to add one

My question is: is it better to blog about nothing or not to blog at all?

We hear more about animal abuse than vegetable abuse- Do you feel concerned?

Well, at my age, (45) I find it appropriate to wear pink or red hats & to always have a mooing plastic cow in my pocket ( ready to diffuse any negativity or over-seriosity). That's how people of my calibre act their age, and Moo to you tooooooooooo!

Yesterday, had the pleasure of seeing a young sculptors work- imaginary safari which was both gory & funny

one thing I'm good at is making friends-on line & off . Yesterday my friend Philomena gave me a mobile phone & today on facebook my status gave my new number. 2 FB friends including Clare(anam cara) from Ireland called me  and it was so lovely to talk to both. I have precious friends here on Gaia, who I've never met F2F like Ladybear & Meenakshi to name but two. LB has been a true friend since my first tentative steps on Gaia- has showered me with gifts (material & otherwise) And I just want to take a moment to thank & bless my friends, I feel very lucky to have you in my life.
Of course there are many other friends on & off line whom I treasure in my heart, but no namecalling here.
Bless you all,
Mike

the course of the wars in Central Asia and Iraq, how diplomacy can resolve tensions with Iran and North Korea through dialogue better than violence, a federal budget that devotes too much money to weapons and too little for families struggling to get by in this economic crisis, and how to create the nuclear-free future that Obama has strongly articulated. Today is a golden opportunity to show that a pro-peace majority supports the President's first steps toward peace and will help him take the next steps as well. Congratulate Barack Obama and share with him your vision of how we can all help wage peace >> Thank you, LiAnna Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team Take action link: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFQcN/zJvY/AOd61

On the 8th of August, 1970, a large pod of orca were herded into Penn Cove, where, over the course of a week, seven killer whales were captured and sold to aquariums around the world.

One of these whales was Tokitae (meaning "Beautiful Day") who is now known as Lolita. She has resided at Miami Seaquarium for 30 years in the country's oldest and smallest tank.

Her tank is the size of a hotel swimming pool - making it illegal in size. She is 22 feet long but the tank is just 35 feet wide. When she 'sits up' and spyhops, her tail touches the bottom of the 20 foot deep tank.

Wild orcas swim 100 miles per day at up to 35 miles an hour, diving 500 feet below the surface. Lolita can only swim in circles.
