The crazy sect of the Hindu religion must desperately need the cow killing since widow-burning and human-baby sacrifice have been banned.
Love those two fish having an argument! And those tumblin' tumbleweeds! And despite my love of superhero movies, had a good laugh at the Irishman v Marvel, especially the tag-line "Oscar revenge." The explanation of the true purpose of proselytizing is also very insightful.
Thanks for the stellar lineup of links this week!
That pack of tumbleweeds are crazy. I actually saw a big one on the path that I walk the dog the other day. It was blowing down the sidewalk with the wind. Thanks for adding a link to my blog. I love when our mountains get snow on them.
Sending you hugs and best wishes and hoping you are back online again soon.
What Debra says. I have been away for personal reasons, also. It will pass, hopefully, and you will be missed in the meantime. Take care of yourself.
I just stopped by to see your Sunday post and thank you for the link at C&L. I'm so sorry you are in distress. You don't owe anyone any explanations. Sending love and hoping everything works out okay. We'll be here when you get back. Hope it's soon.
As always, this sent me down the rabbit hole.
Hope to read you soon! Hope everything goes back to 'normal' soon.
XOXO
I will miss you while you are away. Wishing you the best.
So sorry to hear this. Sending you good thoughts and hopes. We will miss you.
Went through the links the other day, Thanx. Hope thngs go well with whatever issues you're having to deal with though ... Later Guy ....
Best wishes with your challenges. Real life must always come first.
Take care of yourself.
You always find the coolest stuff, which I love. I know you may not notice this for awhile, but when you get back to blogging, I just wanted to send a cyber hug your way. Recently my closest cousin suffered a traumatic event, and in an effort to cope, she cut off all contact with family an friends for about 3 months. I'm a worry wart, but I respected her need to deal with what was going on in her own way. So I'll peek in occasionally to see how you are doing. We've got the light on for you. Hugs, RO
I'm sorry to hear that something bad happened. I hope things get better for you.
Infidel, good luck with the real-world problems afflicting you, hugs to everyone in your orbit.
Hi Infidel. I'm back, just checking on you and to see what's new with you. I hope all goes well with your personal time off, and everything works out for the best. Sending Positive vibes your way...
Wishing you well, dear friend!
