Lost in the music
It's that time
A heart is full
A soul is longing
For completion

Fresh Dandelion Greens

Look what I found in my backyard? Lunch!

These will be part of a tossed salad shortly after I post this.

Mmm....good! Can't wait.

And +Eve A , it's spelled/pronounced DAN-de-LI-ons! :P

There are now 240 new thingies to click on!

I think with the morning almost over and having gotten up late to begin with, I better get on with my day. There is a jungle around the house that needs to be bushwacked (before the city does it for me and charges me for the privilege) and I have a friend's laptop that needs a screen replacement to do. Then I'll be ready for +Catherine Maguire and +Preston Reed's Hangout this afternoon. A busy day, indeed.

So, peoplez, it goes without saying that the traffic in-stream is high because of confusion and chaos. I'm struggling to keep up with the goodies youz guyz send me. Bang me in a PM if I missed something real good. 'kay?

Time to give my sanctimonious blessing on to all of you. (Please bow your heads.)

Work hard. Play harder. Be Safe. Be good to yourself and others.

"Members, God made gays," Sen. Ron Latz, a Democrat from a suburb of Minneapolis, said during the Senate's emotional four-hour debate. "And God made gays capable of loving other people. So who are we to quarrel with God's intentions?"

Morning all.

This is one amazing lady. Not only does she decide to take a proactive approach to minimise the risk of getting cancer during the 9 week procedure she raises awareness of sexual violence in the Congo and helped launch a charity to fund girls' education set up by the Pakistani schoolgirl activist Malala Yousafzai.

Definitely food for thought

"Over 1,900 insect species find their way into our alimentary canals, with beetles being the most popular at 31 per cent, followed by caterpillars at 18 per cent; bees, wasps, and ants at 14 percent; and grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets at 13 percent."

Relevance Algorithm

Google+ is working on a relevance algorithm to show us only the relevant posts in our stream. You can find here (https://plus.google.com/101151078020673275690/posts/BVNBWQu925c) some more information about this experiment.

We have analyzed the last 100 posts of the first 100 persons in Euro Maestro's Who's Who List and checked the average number of interactions these posts got (divided by the number of followers to get a normalized view on the numbers).
From what we can see there is no negative trend, though many of us are missing a lot of posts in their stream in the moment.

We will update these numbers in the next days, to see if there is any trend visible.

You can find this analysis here:

And because in the moment many of us will miss this post a few pings... more »

Happy Birthday Clothes Day +Ann G!

I knew just what to give you for your birthday: colorful socks! Aren't they just awesome looking? You can wear a pair every day and I will tell you how sexy you look in them. :D

One small detail, though -- nothing big.

I was in a hurry...and there wasn't enough time for the previous owners to wash them first...so...if you don't mind...as long as you have laundry to do...?

Happy Mother's Day

My mom passed away in 2009.  Great woman who sacrificed throughout her life to make sure I had just about everything I wanted.  
In the end alzheimer's took her mind.  It was very sad.
My dad and I went to visit her in the nursing home one day and the next morning I wrote this:

I remember a day
when I would go visit mom
she would dance and she'd laugh 
in the warmth of the sun
and she'd gather us closer 
and give us a hug
but those days now seem so surreal.

The calendars changing
the years have gone by 
and left  mom and dad lonely
yet still side by side
They're holding to memories
but tears cloud the view
she smiles as she looks in his eyes

I want to go home with you
I want to take care ofyou
