    Many, Many years ago when I first joined Better Homes & Gardens Garden Talk forum everyone had aliases. My mothers name is Mary, but you know how southerners are.....here it's pronounced Merry. So what is the goal of every southern girl???.....to be a southern belle!!! So I became instead Merrybelle.

    Hi folks. I couldn't resist this topic. The answers are really fun.

    I like zebras and yes they can be used to work though stubborn. My reason for choosing is that when their creator chose to dress them in striped PJs, it showed us that she has a sense of humor.

    Look what I found. This is a very interesting topic. As a newish person here it helps us all to learn about our new friends.

    waretrop is part of the words of our old business. We have used it for 30 years. A supplier used it as acronyms for our business and then when the internet became we just adopted it.

    Here My Hummingbird Story!!!

    I love hummingbirds...When I was previously married, we had 2 acres and i made 1 acre for butterflies and hummingbirds...it was amazing!! I loved watching them in the morning before working and in the evening fighting over the feeders. So when the marriage ended, my daughter reminded me of what I've always said..that when i turned 40 i would get a tattoo. Well 4 years ago i was 42 (lol). I was a little depressed so she said "lets go get that tattoo". So we did and it took me 2 hours to find exactly what I wanted....the perfect hummer with a flower...needless to say that it has been on my body and with beautiful colors for almost 5 yrs now...
    I also have a puzzle that i put together of hummingbirds...

    From my White German Shepherd Dogs. They look like White Wolves and White Wolfe sounds better than White German Shepherd.........Also, the White Shepherd I have now is named "Ghost Wolf". The next one I get will be named "Ice Man" so who knows what name I will be using by then. :-D

    beautiful photons

    It reflects my metaphysical view of existence that newtonian physics is no longer valid (it is, but it isn't), and that quantum physics and the implications of it is correct, and that quantum mechanics represents the ultimate nature of reality.


    (photons)

    There is an interesting fact concerning photons and reality. We have no direct association with the world 'out there'. When a photon enters the eye and hits the retina, it is converted into an electrical impulse sent to a certain part of the brain, and that is where 'sight' occurs; in the complete darkness of the brain. The same is true for the other senses. The implications are far reaching, and to some, quite disturbing. Existence is purely mental.(consciousness is primary). There is no objective reality... Sorry Ayn Rand.



    (blissful)

    The state of happiness one attains in their last earthly reincarnation.



    For those of you who want to explore this further, start with David Bohm.
