Seems like this pair of Nanday Parakeets are having a misunderstanding and the male has no clue at all on what happened. Like humans, the males are always clueless when they get the silent treatment. Been there, done that.

Io, loro e Lara is a 2010 film directed by and starring Carlo Verdone.
The film was dedicated to Verdone's father, Mario, who died during
the making of the film.
Plot: Carlo Mascolo is a priest on a mission in Africa. Following a profound spiritual crisis, the priest decides to return to Rome, where the rest of his family lives, with the idea of taking a break to reflect and find clarity within himself.
However, when Carlo arrives home, he is overwhelmed by his family's problems: his elderly father Alberto has married the young Moldovan caregiver Olga, much to the disappointment of his siblings Luigi and Beatrice, who fear for their inheritance. Carlo also has doubts about his parent's choice, but everything changes with the sudden death of his stepmother.
The situation takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Lara, the deceased's daughter: Alberto, now a widower and desperate, demands that the girl stay in the family home for a while, where she shares her life with the priest. Initially, a good relationship develops between the two, but it strains when Carlo discovers that the young woman is leading a double life. But this is only the beginning of a long series of misunderstandings...
Carlo begins to develop a good relationship with the girl, but one night, he accidentally discovers, upon entering her room, that Lara is performing half-naked on webcam.

Quarry Lodge and St Chad's Church.
Quarry Lodge (Grade II Listed) was once home to celebrity TV gardener Percy Thrower MBE when he worked for Shrewsbury Borough Council.
St Chad's Church (Grade I Listed) occupies a prominent position in Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire. The current church building was built in 1792, and with its distinctive round shape and high tower it is a well-known landmark in the town. It faces The Quarry area of parkland, which slopes down to the River Severn. The church is a Grade I listed building.
Charles Darwin was baptised in St Chad's church in 1809, and as a young boy attended the church with his mother Susannah.
The present building replaced an earlier church, dedicated to St Chad, situated near College Hill; this was a 13th-century building which was largely destroyed when the central tower collapsed in 1788. All that remains of the earlier building is a side chapel surrounded by a disused churchyard which also contains an exposed crypt.
Scottish architect George Steuart was commissioned to build a new church, and he submitted several preliminary designs. Due to a misunderstanding, Steuart went on to complete a circular plan which was not the Parish Church committee's preferred design; however, time was limited, and this was the design which was built.
The foundation stone was laid on St Chad's day, 2 March 1790. The church was built of white Grinshill stone. The building work was supervised by John Simpson (who later worked on several projects with Thomas Telford, including the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct). Internally, the gallery was supported by slender cast iron pillars, an early example of cast iron used for this purpose; they were made by William Hazledine, a pioneering ironmaster who had a foundry in Shrewsbury.
The church was opened on 19 August 1792.
The sanctuary window is a copy in stained glass of a triptych by Rubens in Antwerp Cathedral; it was made in the 1840s by David Evans, a local stained glass artist. The original pulpit, which obscured the altar, was removed in 1888; it was replaced by a copper and brass pulpit in Arts and Crafts style, placed to one side and giving a clearer view of the Sanctuary.
The entrance hall has many memorials relating to the 53rd Regiment of Foot, and its successor regiment the King's Shropshire Light Infantry (KSLI) including:
• alabaster tablet memorial to officers and men of the 53rd who died at the Battle of Sobraon (1846);
• large tablet to those of that regiment who died in the Indian Mutiny campaign (1857–59);
• tablet to those of the 1st Battalion KSLI who died in the Egyptian campaign of 1882;
• tablet to those of the 1st KSLI who died in the occupation of Suakim, Sudan, 1885–86;
• tablet above vestibule entrance to KSLI dead (4,700 all ranks) of the First World War, unveiled 1930 in presence of Poet Laureate John Masefield; and
• books of remembrance of KSLI war dead of both World Wars, in separate cases, in addition to separate county books of remembrance to all war dead from the county of Shropshire.

With a weight of 6 tons and a height that can reach 3.3 m to the shoulder, the elephant is the largest land animal in the world. Tusks of 90 kg have been recorded, but tusks of older bulls generally weigh 50 to 60 kg. Elephants can live as long as 70 years. With as many as 50 000 muscles, the elephant’s trunk is very sensitive. It is essentially a modified nose, able to detect water underground. Using the finger-like appendages at the tip of the trunk, elephants can pick the smallest flowers and twigs, pick a thorn from their feet and pull out strong reeds or grass. There is a common misunderstanding that the joints between the elephant’s feet and body are its knees. They are, in fact, its wrists. Elephants’ foot bones and hand bones are one and the same and have evolved to suit this four-legged mammal. An elephant’s tusks are actually its upper incisors, growing continuously until the elephant dies at about 60 years of age. They use their tusks for obtaining food, self-defence, and males use it for fighting. An elephant’s skin is about 3 cm thick, although it is rather sensitive. Elephants eat great quantities, and in a day can consume up to 272 kg (600 pounds) of tender shoots, grass and tree bark, drinking up to 200 litres of water in a single session. One elephant deposits about 150 kg (330 pounds) of dung per day, and drops a dollop every 15 minutes.

Brave men know when to fight.. Brave men know when it is time to retreat. When you risk losing more than just the shirt off of your back. When you risk losing who you are. Wise men know that just because you lose a battle it doesn't mean you will lose the war.
I realize that my face is out of focus. I had just a few minutes before it started raining and the police showed up! Just my luck.. either I am pulled over for speeding and have like 5 cruisers behind me or I end up with a huge swat team pointing their rifles at my back.. no joke! It was all a big misunderstanding I assure you ;-) Aaaaanyway.. this is what I got and I played with it and had a bit of fun with it so ahh well!

UNIVERSAL QUESTION: DOES ISLAM PROMOTE VIOLENCE?
1. Does Islam promote violence, bloodshed, and brutality since the Qur’an says that Muslims should kill the kuffar wherever they find them?
ANSWER: NO. Let us study the following misquoted verses of the Holy Qur'an used by those who want to perpetuate the myth that Islam promotes violence, and exhorts its followers to kill those outside the faith of Islam.
2.What is the particular verse cited by Islam critics to distort Islam as a religion?
This verse: "Kill the mushriqeen (pagans, polytheists, kuffar)
wherever you find them". [Al-Qur’an 9:5]
----This verse is OFTEN USED by the critics of Islam to show that Islam promotes violence, bloodshed, and brutality. They cite this to support their BIASED theory motivated by religious hatred by identifying Islam with TERRORISM which is the EXACT PROHIBITION IN THE Holy Qur'an.
3. WHY do the critics of Islam intentionally MISQUOTE this verse?
The answer is simple: to show that Muslims WILL NOT SPARE non-Muslims if only to follow this verse and put it into practice.
This is an act that ABSOLUTELY DISTORTS the essence of Islam and the ANTI-THESIS OF WHAT ISLAM IS.
This verse SHOWS ONLY A PART of the entire message in the HOLY QUR'AN. What the critics DID NOT SHOW are the ENTIRE VERSES which is composed of Surah 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
The intentional skip by not mentioning the other related verses explains the motive of the critics-- TO MISEDUCATE about Islam.
By citing only this particular verse, it provokes MISUNDERSTANDING among the Muslims and the non-Muslims which will lead to an impression that ISLAM is a militant faith and purely anti non-Muslims. If you believe this, you become a victim of the hate campaign against Islam.
Now, in order to understand the entire message of the Holy Qur'an, let me, therefore, cite the hidden and intentionally deleted SURAH 6 by the critics of ISLAM.
It says:
"If one amongst the pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure that is because they are men without knowledge.
" [Al-Qur’an 9:6]
What message do you get from this verse?
The act of FORGIVENESS, right? But staunch critics of
Islam like Arun Shourie in India DID NOT CITE VERSE 6 of SURAH 9 for obvious reasons. What he kept citing in his arguments is VERSE 5 of Chapter 9 of the Holy Qur'an.
Shourie quotes verse 5 of Surah Taubah chapter 9 in his book "The World of Fatwahs’, on page 572. After quoting
verse 5 he jumps to verse 7 of Surah Taubah. Any sensible
person will realize that he has skipped verse 6.
4. WHAT THEREFORE IS THE ENTIRE MESSAGE OF CHAPTER 9 OF THE HOLY QUR'AN?
Chapter 9 of the Holy Qur'an is not a message of war but
of Forgiveness. That even if war has to be made against
those who violated the rights of Muslims or have
transgressed them to serve their evil purpose, still, FORGIVENESS MUST BE GIVEN TO THOSE who
seek for it.
Here, please read the lines of this verse:
"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."[Al-Qur’an 9:5]
If you will only read the first part about killing and delete the last lines, you will be guilty of "kitman", the intentional deletion of important lines in a verse to produce a different "hostile and violent" meaning.
5. WHAT is the REAL STORY behind CHAPTER 9 of the Holy Quran?
Chapter 9 discussed a history of a PEACE TREATY between the Muslims and the Mushriqs (pagans) of Makkah during that time when the following verse was written. The peace treaty was violated by the Mushriks of Makkah.
To consider preserving peace, the Muslims gave the Mushriks a period of four months to amend their ways
otherwise, the war would be declared against them.
TAKE NOTE of the fairness exercised by the Muslims during that time.: PATIENCE was given to the violators and there was no immediate declaration of war against them.
But this point is obviously hidden by Muslim critics.
The motive behind the intentional skip of VERSE 6 is to avoid making their argument ineffective against Islam.
Why many continue to adhere to this distorted belief is beyond my mind, but it is of prime importance that the truth
must be told to correct a wrong.
6. Miseducation and hate campaign against Islam:
Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 is being used by the critics of Islam as justification for their allegation that Islam promotes violence, brutality, and bloodshed.
The truth about Islam is granting forgiveness to enemies who
repents and secure them in the name of Allah.
What is the point of killing? A true Muslim does not use religion to oppress and terrorize innocent civilians.
This is exactly what Allah (swt) says in the Glorious Qur’an to promote peace in the world.

The Symbol Jewels Of Ion - Sacred Geometries - The Stygmat by Daniel Arrhakis (2023)
A new mystic series "The Symbol Jewels Of Ion - Sacred Geometries"
The Symbol Jewels Of Ion - Sacred Geometries (*)
Symbols and sacred geometries in the Mystical World of Ion whose meaning goes far beyond the visual representation or its dreamlike character.
They materialize a mystical power that unites human qualities with a conscious and omnipresent universal spirituality that reigns over destiny, matter and time.
The Stygmat
Stigmata (Ancient Greek: στίγματα, plural of στίγμα stigma, 'mark, spot, brand'), in Catholicism, are bodily wounds, scars and pain which appear in locations corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ: the hands, wrists, and feet.
A mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person.
In the Mystic World Of Ion the symbolism of this geometry is a little different, the red blood is the intrinsic strength, the hereditary character, the courage to face adversity, the base of the calyx of a flower that extends vertically to its stigma, to the light, to the green of hope and redemption.
The chalice delimited by two juxtaposed hands that pray and face with faith, adversity, the stigmas of ignorance and misunderstanding.
In the center, the blue sky, faith renewed after the storm, the sweet home you return to at the end of the day, the temple that awaits and welcomes you, the water that quenches your thirst.
In the Mystical World of Ion, far from being a stigma, Stygmat geometry is the representation of strength, faith, courage and, above all, resistance in the face of adversity.
___________________________________________________
As Joias Simbólicas de Íon - Geometrias Sagradas
Símbolos e geometrias sagradas no Mundo Místico de Íon cujo significado vai muito além da representação visual ou de seu caráter onírico.
Eles materializam um poder místico que une as qualidades humanas com uma espiritualidade universal consciente e onipresente que reina sobre o destino, a matéria e o tempo.
Stigmat
Stigmata (do grego antigo: στίγματα, plural de στίγμα estigma, 'marca, mancha, marca'), no catolicismo, são feridas corporais, cicatrizes e dores que aparecem em locais correspondentes às feridas da crucificação de Jesus Cristo: as mãos, pulsos e pés.
Uma marca de desgraça associada a uma circunstância, qualidade ou pessoa em particular.
No Mundo Místico de Ion o simbolismo dessa geometria é um pouco diferente, o sangue vermelho é a força intrínseca, o caráter hereditário, a coragem para enfrentar as adversidades, a base do cálice de uma flor que se estende verticalmente até seu estigma, para a luz, para o verde da esperança e da redenção.
O cálice delimitado por duas mãos justapostas que rezam e enfrentam com fé as adversidades, os estigmas da ignorância e da incompreensão.
Ao centro, o céu azul, a fé renovada depois da tempestade, o doce lar a que regressas ao fim do dia, o templo que te espera e te acolhe, a água que mata a tua sede.
No Mundo Místico de Íon, longe de ser um estigma, a geometria Stygmat é a representação da força, da fé, da coragem e, acima de tudo, da resistência diante das adversidades.

La casa de Castril es un palacio renacentista ubicado en la ciudad española de Granada, comunidad autónoma de Andalucía; en ella se encuentra actualmente el Museo Arqueológico de Granada.
La casa se halla enclavada en la carrera del Darro, en el antiguo barrio árabe de Ajsaris, sede a partir del siglo XVI de parte de la nobleza granadina, como muestran sus construcciones blasonadas. La Casa de Castril es uno de los mejores ejemplos de palacios renacentistas de Granada y perteneció a la familia de Hernando de Zafra, secretario de los Reyes Católicos que participó activamente en la reconquista de la ciudad a los musulmanes y en sus Capitulaciones. En lo alto de la fachada está grabada la fecha de su construcción: 1539. Esta obra ha sido atribuida a Sebastián de Alcántara, uno de los más destacados discípulos de Diego de Siloé. En 1917 se adquirió la Casa del Castril a los herederos del insigne arabista Leopoldo Eguílaz y Yanguas para ubicar definitivamente el citado Museo.
Además, sobre el edificio recae una vieja leyenda, de cuando era habitado en época árabe, la cual se refiere a una misteriosa dama de blanco que se aparece de vez en cuando, fruto de un desencuentro entre el padre de una bella muchacha que habitaba el edificio y su supuesto amante, que desencadenaron la furia del padre y posteriormente su ahorcamiento y emparedamiento en el balcón lateral del edificio. Sobre este balcón ciego se puede leer una consigna que dice: "Esperando la del cielo", lo que podría referirse a "esperando la justicia del cielo", que probablemente tuviese relación con las palabras que el supuesto amante pronunció antes de ser ahorcado.

The Castril palace (also House of Castril) is a Renaissance style palace located in Sacromonte, a district of the Spanish city of Granada. Nowadays it hosts the Archaeological Museum of Granada.
The house is nailed in the Race of the Darro, in the old Arab district of Ajsaris, seat of 16th century's granadine nobility. The palace is one of the best Renaissance palaces of Granada and belonged to the family of Hernando de Zafra, secretary of Catholic monarchs who participated actively in reconquering it from the Muslim hands during the Reconquista.
At the top of the facade the date of its foundation is recorded: 1539. This work has been attributed to Sebastián de Alcántara, one of the most outstanding disciples of Diego de Siloé. In 1917, the Castril palace was acquired by arabist and orientalist Leopoldo Eguílaz y Yanguas to make it a definitive location of the Archaeological Museum of Granada.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castril_Palace
There is also an old legend about the building, dating back to the time when it was inhabited in Arab times, which refers to a mysterious lady in white who appears from time to time, the result of a misunderstanding between the father of a beautiful girl who lived in the building and her supposed lover, which triggered the father's fury and subsequently led to her hanging and walling herself up on the side balcony of the building. On this blind balcony one can read a slogan that reads: "Waiting for heaven's justice", which could refer to "waiting for heaven's justice", probably related to the words that the supposed lover uttered before being hanged.
In the next weeks and months I'd like to use my photography to raise awareness of mental health issues, particularly experiences compounded by Covid19. This is a subject I feel very strongly about, having battled with chronic anxiety for most of my life and witnessing first hand the continued misunderstandings and misconceptions surrounding mental health, as well as the negativity. But I'd also like this to be a positive project, demonstrating how people have found ways to cope and overcome.

The truth is a little lie we tell ourselves sometimes.
Sometimes truth is
fathomless. It rises and falls like the sea; shifts and changes form
like wisps of smoke.
You’re only as sick as your secrets, they say,
so make your lies stand in a line,
at attention and pay
attention to them.
But then they just grow wings. They take flight.
They breathe and grow up into monsters.
After all, there’s a valid reason they exist.
Validity is truth too, no?
What is valid then?
Who holds the scales?
My favorite teachers play games with words. They shape words around to their purpose.
Is that truth?
Linguistics, semantics, what is the spirit of the matter?
Wanna kick the legs out from under our little monster to be?
Deconstruct it. Take it a
part and piece it
back together
until it looks like a reason.
Until it’s a choice. A right.
Who has the right to the truth?
Only the one possessing it.
That’s an inconvenient… yeah.
Funny, isn’t it?
We make demands and bully our way to what feels
certain but
nothing ever is.
Only this feeling down deep in our guts that shivers along the space between skin and muscle.
The philosophers know it.
You know it. I can actually
see it.
I see the words come from a distance. I cup knownigness in my hands like clay and then the clay is words. Thoughts. Truth.
That’s truth, darling. Laws of the universe. Gravity, long as we’re here. Long as our awareness doesn’t change; our perspective.
One day even that might turn out to be a strange misunderstanding.
You’re not off the hook, no. You have to pay the piper to dance across the river. But
the good news is, I hear she takes a song,
I hear she takes chances.
I know she’ll take it on credit because she’s a nimble thinker too, Jack.
Be quick now. Give her something to chew on. Crumbs to find her way.
Take care, she is a divining rod, this one. She’s a snake with an apple.
She sees every angle.
Lucky you, son.
Lucky you.

Visit: www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/the-deportation...
From the Canadian encyclopedia's website:
Soldiers rounding up terrified civilians, expelling them from their land, burning their homes and crops ‒ it sounds like a 20th century nightmare in one of the world's trouble spots, but it describes a scene from Canada's early history, the Deportation of the Acadians.
The Acadians had lived on Nova Scotia’s territory since the founding of Port-Royal in 1604. They established a small, vibrant colony around the Bay of Fundy, building dykes to tame the high tides and to irrigate the rich fields of hay. Largely ignored by France, the Acadians grew independent minded. With their friends and allies the Mi' kmaq, they felt secure, even when sovereignty over their land passed to Britain after 1713 (see Treaty of Utrecht).
In 1730 the British authorities persuaded the Acadians to swear, if not allegiance, at least neutrality in any conflict between Britain and France. But over the years the position of the Acadians in Nova Scotia became more and more precarious. France raised the stakes by building the great fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island. In 1749 the English countered this threat by establishing a naval base at Halifax. In 1751 the French built Fort Beauséjour on the Isthmus of Chignecto and the English responded with Fort Lawrence, a stone's throw away.
While previous British governors had been conciliatory towards the Acadians, Governor Charles Lawrence was prepared to take drastic action. He saw the Acadian question as a strictly military matter. After Fort Beauséjour fell to the English forces in June 1755, Lawrence noted that there were some 270 Acadian militia among the fort's inhabitants ‒ so much for their professed neutrality.
In meetings with Acadians in July 1755 in Halifax, Lawrence pressed the delegates to take an unqualified oath of allegiance to Britain. When they refused, he imprisoned them and gave the fateful order for deportation.
Lawrence had strong support in his Council from recent immigrants from New England, who coveted Acadian lands. Traders from Boston frequently expressed wonder that an "alien" people were allowed to possess such fine lands in a British colony. On Friday, September 5, 1755 Colonel John Winslow ordered that all males aged 10 years and up in the area were to gather in the Grand-Pré Church for an important message from His Excellency, Charles Lawrence, the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia. The decree that was read to the assembled and stated in part: "That your Land & Tennements, Cattle of all Kinds and Livestocks of all Sorts are forfeited to the Crown with all other your effects Savings your money and Household Goods, and you yourselves to be removed from this Province."
It was a New Englander, Charles Morris, who devised the plan to surround the Acadian churches on a Sunday morning, capture as many men as possible, breach the dykes and burn the houses and crops. When the men refused to go, the soldiers threatened their families with bayonets. They went reluctantly, praying, singing and crying. By the fall of 1755 some 1,100 Acadians were aboard transports for South Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Lawrence urged his officers not to pay the least attention "to any remonstrance or Memorial from any of the inhabitants." When Colonel John Winslow read the deportation order, he admitted that although it was his duty, it was "very disagreeable to my nature, make and temper." In a phrase that would not be out of place in many more recent atrocities he added "But it is not my business to animadvert, but to obey such orders as I receive."
Some Acadians resisted, notably Joseph Beausoleil Brossard, who launched a number of retaliatory raids against the British troops. Many escaped to the forests, where the British continued to hunt them down for the next five years. A group of 1,500 fled for New France, others to Cape Breton and the upper reaches of the Peticoudiac River. Of some 3,100 Acadians deported after the fall of Louisbourg in 1758, an estimated 1,649 died by drowning or disease, a fatality rate of 53 per cent.
Between 1755 and 1763, approximately 10,000 Acadians were deported. They were shipped to many points around the Atlantic. Large numbers were landed in the English colonies, others in France or the Caribbean. Thousands died of disease or starvation in the squalid conditions on board ship. To make matters worse, the inhabitants of the English colonies, who had not been informed of the imminent arrival of disease-ridden refugees, were furious. Many Acadians were forced, like the legendary Evangeline of Longfellow's poem, to wander interminably in search of loved ones or a home.
Although the Acadians were not actually shipped to Louisiana by the British, many were attracted to the area by the familiarity of the language and remained to develop the culture now known as "Cajun."
Back in Nova Scotia, the vacated Acadian lands were soon occupied by settlers from New England. When the Acadians were finally allowed to return after 1764, they settled far from their old homes, in St Mary's Bay, Chéticamp, Cape Breton, Prince Edouard Island and the north and east of present-day New Brunswick.
The expulsion proved to have been as unnecessary on military grounds as it was later judged inhumane. Lawrence's lack of imagination played as big a part as greed, confusion, misunderstanding, and fear.
The migrations of the Acadians to a new Acadia continued into the 1820s. Throughout the ordeal they maintained their sense of identity, as indeed they do today ‒ a remarkable demonstration of human will in the face of cruelty. (From the Canadian encyclopedia's website)

Look well to this day,

This concludes the series, that I call “Misunderstanding and it’s Consequences”. This I tried showing through: The deception of believing what we read or are told, being misunderstood ourselves by others, loneliness and the worry of not be being accepted or acknowledged. This in the hope that when any of us fall prey to these, we will know that we are not alone.
This will also be my last posting for a while, as I will be off flickr and possibly my computer for a month or so. I wish you all well. To my close contacts, let me say how much our “contact” has meant to me. Through sharing our vision of life, our comments and occasional e-mails, it has helped me through a trying time. I am very grateful! Thank you all.
October 31st has a Blue Moon.
Traditionally the definition of a blue moon is the third full Moon in an astronomical season containing four full moons. They are somewhat rare, and the next one is not until 31 August 2023.
Another definition of the blue moon, perhaps the more commonly used due to its simplicity, is actually a mistake.
This definition describes the blue moon as the second full Moon in any calendar month with two full moons.
But as this is usually the case, you can see where the misunderstanding came from.
Back in 2018, both January and March had full two moons, and February had no full moon at all.

I mean it must be high or low
That is you know you can't tune it
but It's all right
That is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Always know sometimes it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think a "No" will mean a "Yes"
but it's all wrong
that is I think I disagree
Let me take you down
Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
strawberry fields forever
strawberrry fields forever *Beatles*
White-striped longtail, Chioides albofasciatus, at the Wildflower Center in Austin, 6/11/21. This is a very un-butterfly-like skipper in both appearance and sometimes aggressive-looking flight habits. The first time I ever saw one I thought it might be some kind of stinging insect. Such misunderstandings no doubt usually benefit the species.

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

I could see this bloke coming towards me, and he had his arms folded tightly across his chest. Blimey, I thought, he’s doing some ju-jitsu – and I hurriedly prepared myself for combat. However, as he got closer, I realised that what I thought were his arms were in fact two fawn stripes on his anorak. His hands were by his side clicking out a little rhythm. He seemed quite a nice lad actually, and it’s a shame he didn’t want to stop and discuss the misunderstanding.

Set the clock back many years ago
I'd teach that motherfucker that raised you
How to treat you right"

Io, loro e Lara is a 2010 film directed by and starring Carlo Verdone.
The film was dedicated to Verdone's father, Mario, who died during
the making of the film.
Plot: Carlo Mascolo is a priest on a mission in Africa. Following a profound spiritual crisis, the priest decides to return to Rome, where the rest of his family lives, with the idea of taking a break to reflect and find clarity within himself.
However, when Carlo arrives home, he is overwhelmed by his family's problems: his elderly father Alberto has married the young Moldovan caregiver Olga, much to the disappointment of his siblings Luigi and Beatrice, who fear for their inheritance. Carlo also has doubts about his parent's choice, but everything changes with the sudden death of his stepmother.
The situation takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Lara, the deceased's daughter: Alberto—now a widower and desperate—orders the girl to live in the family home for a while, where she cohabits with the priest. Initially, a good relationship develops between the two, but it strains when Carlo discovers that the young woman is leading a double life. But it's only the beginning of a long series of misunderstandings...
The priest, reconciled with his family and his faith, returns to Africa.

I think I'll go now, I need to take a bath. hehe (:
Have a great Sunday everyone!
Paul: Hola amigos! How's it hanging?
Pete: I say!
Ted: Hi there Mr.. um...?
Paul: I'm Cool Shades Paul, but you can call me CP for short!
Ted: Heh! Are you sure? Do you know what CP stands for?
Pete: Don't be rude Ted. Let the man be CP if he fancies it.
Paul: It stands for Cool Paul. Look at my shades! It's cool right there!
Ted: It would be even more cool if they were straight..
Pete: *Over Paul's head* Pst! He is a Hasbro Paul. Cut him some slack. *Winks*
Ted: Oh, so you're a Hasbro Paul! I heard you "gave a helping hand" down by the pond earlier and nearly got drowned.
Paul: No that was LP, my cousin.
Ted: I suppose that isn't music related, since you are CP. Although I'm staring to wonder...
Pete: Ahem!
Paul: Music? No LP stands for Lifeguard Paul of course.
Pete: Of course.

The 60s meets the 90s. There ought to be some friction and misunderstandings. (And jealousy, haha!)

The Wereravens are a winged race who most often are found on the forces of good but can also be mercenary in their loyalties. Their moral classification is chaotic good.
Their name is a misnomer as they are not human lycanthropes but a distinct race. However early misunderstandings coined the name Wereravens so it has stuck. For the Wereravens, in their tongue the name corresponds closely to weira'afin, which means "exalted sovereign". So, as something of an in-joke, they've always enjoyed the other races calling them such.
Aside from their wings they are human in appearance, including their facial features, though they wear light leather helms and boots outfitted with feathers and bird features.
Wereraven culture does not use magic, placing a high emphasis on physical and mental acumen through training. For this reason, Wereraven fighters are extremely skilled.
From above, which is their natural advantage, Wereravens are adept with ranged weapons including their unique harpbows and slings, but prefer spears. They sometimes use small maces as well.
Wereraven dive-bomb attacks are silent, lightning fast, and usually fatal for the recipient. A Wereraven is extremely agile in the air, able to maneuver quickly and avoid retaliatory attacks.
They do not wear armor for the same reason they prefer only a spear, which is remaining light. One never sees a fat Wereraven, even among their aged.
Wereravens have a clear code of honor specific to their culture from which they will not deviate. For this reason they will sometimes hire out to an opposing force if either the opposition offers more money and does not violate their code of honor, or if the friendly force has violated their code.
Wereravens never, however, work alongside Nightfiends, vile races such as orcs or ogres, or any force that uses necromancy.
👾 Happy 🏰 Heroclix 🏯 Friday! 🐉

A year of the shows and performers of the Bijou Planks Theater.
For our honeymoon in 2019, Zandri and I spent 3 weeks touring Namibia enjoying all the amazing wildlife and natural scenery.
Erongo Wilderness Lodge was way out of our budget but we went there anyway and full of confidence ordered some food. Luckily it was only after we had eaten and enjoyed the unique habitat and the birds found there did they catch on that we weren't actually staying with them. We said sorry for the misunderstanding, paid for our breakfast and carried on our way.
What started out as a simple misunderstanding soon turned into a chaotic bloodbath when a scouting party of the imperialistic Knights of Sidonia (yes, I went there) clashes with a group of the nomadic and reclusive Rangers. Guest starring my dad's leg.
And now for something completely different...
“He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”
- George Orwell, 1984.
There have been few words written that are not more chilling. There are millions of people around the world today who have been freshly chilled to the bone as we profess our love for the surveillance society, lock downs and the health experts who deliver us from the evil of the "man-made" Covid-19. When will this hell end?
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.
i love this song and whole movie to death.
and this picture doesn't make sense if you don't watch this video.
the strawberries are not photoshoped.
