Slow Motion Humming Birds

You really need to take the time to watch this amazing video!

It really kills me to think that people believe that this perfectly engineered little bird happened by accident!

    Artie just put up a feeder exactly like that. I can't manage to get a picture of them. I wonder
    how you can get them used to letting people get close to them.

    The harp music made it even more beautiful and enjoyable.
    What a gift to behold such splendor.
    Ted, thank you so much for sharing this.

There's Nothing Better....

... Than the taste of cornbread made in a cast iron skillet! (With a big glass of milk!) YUM!
  • ceoltoir
    I don't particularly like cornbread but I can totally see how it would be YUM to most people. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it. My grandmother used to think the only thing to drink with cornbread was buttermilk. Ew. To me buttermilk is an ingredient, not a beverage.

    Nothing finer! Except I prefer Butter Milk with mine!

    My Daddy used to crumble up his cornbread in his buttermilk and eat it like cereal.

    Corn bread always smells good but it never tastes good to me.

    Buttermilk is something I use in baking - never shall it pass my lips in liquid form.

Alabama Football

at 05/13/13 9:46AM *
I KNOW MANY OF YOU (LIKE ME) ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO FOOTBALL SEASON. WELL, HERE'S A LITTLE RECAP OF LAST YEAR.........

Alabama beat Arkansas,
and Arkansas fired their coach.

Alabama beat Tennessee,
and Tennessee fired their coach.

Alabama beat Auburn,
and Auburn fired their coach.

Then Alabama beat Notre Dame, and the Pope resigned.......

Man, I wish the White House had a team!


(Hmmmm.... Wonder if the I.R.S is going to audit me now?) ~~TG

    No, lol, it was an amen for wishing the White House had a team. ;-)

    Unfortunately, if the White House had a team they'd probably cheat, honesty not being a cornerstone of our government lately.

A Compassionate Lawyer

at 04/26/13 5:02PM
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."

"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.

Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also."

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"

"Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high."

    At first I thought this was just a joke, a tall tale.

    After dealing with my own lawyer and reading the last line I know it must be a true story!

    Do you realize we were reading each other's post at the same time? LOL

    I saw the title and knew it had to be a joke. The punchline was still a surprise. I laughed out loud...well, snorted really.

    This has me wondering whether humans can survive on grass.
