i want to know id anyone has an inexpensive easy way for me to install some sort of sound system so i can hear the outside birds in my house in winter.
i have to doors closed its like 30 degrees outside, i stepped out to toss some bread crumbs and heard so many birds outside, and i would love to hear those birds in my kitchen while i eat.
would a cheap baby monitor work ?
A window suction pad bird feeder is ideal for tits and other song birds. The bigger birds won't use it. Generally it's only the smaller perching birds that sing - birds that walk but don't hop don't sing!
Feed them some grain and dried mealworms like this great tit is enjoying and you'll soon have a regular supply of visitors.

are they just moving the goal posts now that 2016 is almost upon us?.
Something more traditional perhaps?
it amazes me how many of you have left it all behind, including family, brothers and sisters, friends and a full network of people.
i for one cannot find the courage to breakaway, and this causes me great anxiety and stress.
it eats me alive to think that if i open my mouth everyone i know will simply turn their back on me.
I prepared, but I had the time because I knew what was coming. I established a new social scene for myself because even though I wasn't going to make friends too quickly, I wasn't going to sit around on my own and mope. So I joined various clubs and organisations just to keep busy.
I also made sure that I wasn't going to put myself in a position where someone could cut me dead. That would have been so demeaning and bad for my self esteem. Instead I made sure that I was the one who turned away. That worked so well because, on several occasions people said to me: "Hey! It's us who are shunning you, OK?"

he words "egg on face" clearly apply here, never heard that at all although I do remember Reece giving talks at DC's when I was a kid, I wonder who the London head honcho was back then?
Probably Wilf Gooch.

a man yelling "this is for syria" slashed a strangers throat and was quickly tasered by police and arrested.
video avalible...looks like war is coming soon.
john cedars has posted his latest blog "the trouble with apostates (and why it shouldn't put you off becoming one)".
i acknowledge that he is entitled to his opionin just as we are ours but i am disappointed in some of his comments.. at this stage i'll try to be objective about it.
he is defending his own position after all.. what bothers me most is his comments about athiests and christians which he seems to identify as being in conflict with each other.
Cedars is of a type. I've met quite a few similar people over the years and I recognised him for what he was from day one. Basically charismatic but totally political in everything they do and say. Everything is done and said with an end goal in mind - the eventual adoration of those around him.
i don't recall much of what my father said to me because so much of it was based on the teachings of his religion.
but there are a few things that have stuck in my mind that came from his own acquired wisdom.
and i'm happy to remember a few of them now.

On driving: Always drive with your passenger's comfort in mind so that they feel relaxed and at ease. If your passenger keeps stamping his feet to the floor you just might be tail-gating. And if you are going to teach someone to drive don't put the fear of God into them, tell them that a car is just a piece of tin and everyone is going to bend one sometime. so just do your best and don't fret about it, it WILL happen one day.
On debating: Never personalise a discussion. If you're debating whether or not to go to war for instance, or on the rights and wrongs of capital punishment, don't say how would you feel if it was your child / wife / husband etc who was harmed, because it's insulting and it's also obvious how the person would feel. Such a remark leaves nowhere else to go and if you can't see that you shouldn't be getting into those kind of debates!
On people. Don't form an opinion of someone based entirely on how nice they are to you personally. Most people can be charming if they try. Sometimes the best friendships are formed in adversity and disagreement.
That's about it, but I think the words had value.
dear all,.
my health took a beating over the years with stress from various sources, not a little from the wt; and dangerous areas of work involving fumes and so on.
the arc also took its toll and i have had recently a heart attack.
I had heart surgery in 2009.
6 months later I walked up a very steep hill for over an hour to reach the top of a peak in Kefalonia without breaking into a sweat.
There is another plus. If you're overweight you burn up over 3000 calories a day recovering from the surgery!
