RE: Radioactive Pigs, Wild Pigs, Sick Pigs: The Trouble with Pigs Today
OMG my friend! Pigs, pigs and more pigs. Another one of your interesting posts that is chocked full of information that I didn't know. It is always a learning experience with you and I love that! I stopped eating pork many, many years ago and after reading this, I am so glad that I did. This is another reason why there are so many vegetarians now. Ticks and vampire bats are the worst for spreading diseases. The numbers in this post are staggering and look at all of the harm that we have done to our beautiful planet and all of nature. So sad. This brought me back to another childhood memory. My parents took me and my brother on vacation when I was 9 years old and it was my first experience of seeing a boar. I thought it was the ugliest creature I had ever seen. Thankfully, it was only the head mounted on a wall. The place we stayed at was called...are you ready for this...Boar's Head Inn. I also remember going to a pond located at the Inn and catching frogs all day long in the hot sun. I drank cold water real fast and the world around me was spinning, and I couldn't stand up. The doc said that I had heat stroke. I was so sick. Now back to your post. What a great job you did with your extra accent pictures. It was very pleasing to my eyes. The only thing that is missing is at least one photo taken by you. LOL! And look at all of your sources. I am in awe!!! I can;t imagine how many hours you put in but what I do know is that you are dedicated to sharing nothing but the best!
Thank you so much for you gift to support my butterfly contest. It sure was a pleasant surprise and I am grateful. Hugs! I am looking forward to more of your photos! : )
Thank you so much for high praise! Your affinity for nature makes your words all the more meaningful :)
Boar's Head Inn??? Groan....Memories of childhood. I've never been tolerant of sun myself. Tend to have a lower threshold than those around me. Have you ever experienced this since?
I love your butterfly contest. It brings people together and makes them happy. It's a service. Yesterday my son dug out a camera and showed me how to use it...not a cell phone. A real camera. So, maybe pictures will be coming.
Today is Thursday. Time to check you blog. Hope Pachino is well, or at least peaceful.
Warm regards, AG
It sounds like you have fair skin like me. Thankfully, I never had heat stroke again but I did have sun poisoning many, many moons ago on my honeymoon. I had blisters all over my body, hot and cold chills and could barely stand the bed sheet over my body. I was in so much pain I couldn't move for days. But I still love the sun! The hotter the better because it helps my Fibro pain.
OMG! I am so excited to hear about your camera and I can't wait to see your photos. I think you will get hooked. I don't have a cell phone. The photos I see that are taken using the cell phones are amazing.
Pachino is doing well. I just took him out for some fresh, cold air and he came right back inside and is on my lap right now. You said that you had a cat. How old is yours?
Thanks for your praises of my butterfly contest. I do hope it makes people happy. The photos are incredible and I love seeing butterflies and other insects from around the world.
Stay warm AG and have a great weekend! : )
Thank you!
My skin is fair--partly because I never go out in the sun :)
UV of any kind makes me sick. That's an autoimmune thing. I try to get indirect sunlight, a warm glow, but not for too long. Just a few minutes.
I haven't had time to check out my camera. I'm excited also.
Glad to see you getting support for your contest. It is a great place for people to meet and share. Next week, for sure, I'll have something.
Be well and peaceful, @whatisnew.
Your friend, AG
Edit--Oh, and about the cat: right now my daughter and son do the hands--on care of several cats...some indoors and some out. I pay expenses and enjoy their company :))
I have never heard of UV making a person sick. Sorry to hear that. Do you want to hear something crazy? My eyes burn and get red when I am in a room that uses fluorescent light bulbs and my eye doctor told me that I am allergic to them. I have never heard of that before.
The support that I got was surprising and makes my contest exciting. Thank you for your support and your kind words. You are going to have something to enter my contest? Now that is exciting! : )
How nice of you to help out with the cats. They sure do bring much joy!
Have a great week my friend! : )
