Just A Thought

 Animal lives matter.  Even those who are raised to become food 🙁 should always be kept and cared for in the most humane ways possible. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1ucHGQtpad/?igsh=MTQ2NGVlazVqeWkydw== https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=_wGmAOZDcxHt9jJH&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org%2F&source_ve_path=MTY0OTksMjg2NjQsMTY0NTA2&feature=emb_share&v=h_XLcVtfwsI Okay, baby elephants are seriously cute!  💕🐘  https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0old3INcnb/?igsh=MW5kNTk4YWEzbDdjdg== Update.  I open Instagram and see this.  When little elephants get big! 😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/Czl4mnmyE4Z/?igsh=MTIyY3l1M2Z6aDFuMQ==

I’m not sure if this is really true or if it is just my perception because I have paid more attention to it, but it seems to me that in recent years people have become more polite than ever before.  I know that politeness is part of the culture and nature of people where I live, but I have noticed this elsewhere during my recent travels.  I have noticed that everywhere I go, I bump into people who practice kindness towards strangers.  I notice this in particular in public places.  People just immediately apologize and say “Oh, I’m sorry” whenever they unintentionally bump into or end up in someone else’s space regardless of how it happened or who was at fault.  And then the other person says something like, “No problem, you’re fine.”.  What a perfect attitude and great way this is for people to get along.  My parents and I even noticed this recently while I was visiting them.  My mother, due to arthritis, now has to use a walker or cane whenever she is out and needs to walk or get arou

 Yesterday we had our January DAR meeting.  We were having our lunch and I noticed this tiny little sticker on the table cloth where I was sitting.  I picked it up to look at it and put it back down and I thought it was just something leftover from the holidays that ended up stuck on the table cloth.  Well, at the end of our meeting we were asked if anyone had found a little a clown sticker.  It turned out that the person who found the sticker got to be the recipient of an autographed (with a scribble) copy of  “The President And The Freedom Fighter”.  The story does sound interesting.  I am definitely now inspired to be more interested in historical topics and stories as I should be as a DAR member and I love genealogy so it makes sense to have more understanding of the time periods when my ancestors lived.  I was also inspired by a 94 year old member to go see “The Boys In The Boat”.  😀 Thank you DAR. 

Happy New Year 2024! 🎉  May it be a fulfilling and amazing new year!   

I have recently been trying out and having fun with an AI image generating app.  It created some images today that I thought were really beautiful!  Sometimes there are things in the images that don’t come out quite right.  One thing that it still really has trouble with is faces, particularly when there are multiple faces in an image.  It also makes mistakes sometimes like giving people or animals, extra arms or legs.  Regardless of these little glitches, it is truly amazing what AI image generating apps can create.  My image prompt for the  images below was just “ the absence of stress” with nothing else specifically requested.  I was really impressed by the beautiful images it created!  The final photo below is of the app that I am using.  DeepArt-AI Image Generator doesn’t yet have many ratings but it was recommended to me by Chat AI when I asked for a recommendation for a good image generating app.  I have been really impressed!  Who needs to find stock photos or “borrow” googled

Excuse me waiter, but there is a rainbow on my breakfast sandwich.  And it is all thanks to my beautiful new hanging prism decoration that casts rainbows all over my kitchen. 🌈  😄  

 I tried to cook a bowl of Malt O Meal hot cereal in the microwave earlier today and this is what happened.  I don’t know how I managed this, but the bowl never made it into the microwave.  It also ended up all over the front of the oven, the cabinets and the floor.  I will definitely hold onto it more carefully next time! 😧

Wow!  I have been trying out an AI image generating app, and sometimes the images come out a bit weird but there are also others that are really beautiful and amazing!  I’m going to share some of my favorites here, not including the ones that I have already shared in other posts.

Why was the snowman digging through a bag of carrots? Because he was picking his nose. 😁  ⛄️ 🥕  #pickanoseandthenpickit
