Random find. That's some serious statement right there. Suitably next to a discarded Lime scooter I'm choosing to ignore. Vague, oblique metaphors and such.
I have questions for whoever is responsible for this.
Not quite sure why I thought this was worth sharing. Maybe because someone decided it was worth defacing a building with, and I in turn am defacing your timeline. Or maybe because it made me snort, which lodged my chewing gum down the wrong pipe - how eventful- and I'm trying to feel better by making someone else snort. Or maybe because I'm destined to become one of those people who share memes because "This shit made me laugh, so I'll inflict it on the lot of you. You're welcome." Which makes this a pre-meme.
What can I say. I'm profound like that.
Yellow is a happy color and even more so with flowers. This is a “Cheerful Yellow Statement” as you can see. Flowers convey happiness wham we receive them. Gardens are full of color for sure. Yellow Flowers stand out so much they’re in a class of their. Thanks for viewing my photos.

Flavia Julia Helena Augusta, also known as Saint Helena, Saint Helen, Helena Augusta or Helena of Constantinople (ca. 250 – ca. 330) was consort of Constantius Chlorus, and the mother of Emperor Constantine I. She is traditionally credited with finding the relics of the True Cross.
Family Life: Helena's birthplace is not known with certainty. The sixth-century historian Procopius is the earliest authority for the statement that Helena was a native of Drepanum, in the province of Bithynia in Asia Minor. Her son Constantine renamed the city "Helenopolis" after her death in 328, giving rise to the belief that the city was her birthplace. Although he might have done so in honor of her birthplace, Constantine probably had other reasons for doing so. The Byzantinist Cyril Mango has argued that Helenopolis was refounded to strengthen the communication network around his new capital in Constantinople, and was renamed to honor Helena, not to mark her birthplace. There is another Helenopolis, in Palestine, but its exact location is unknown. This city, and the province of Helenopontus in the Diocese of Pontus, were probably both named after Constantine's mother.
The bishop and historian Eusebius of Caesarea states that she was about 80 on her return from Palestine. Since that journey has been dated to 326–28, Helena was probably born in 248 or 250. Little is known of her early life. Fourth-century sources, following Eutropius' Breviarium, record that she came from a low background. Ambrose was the first to call her a stabularia, a term translated as "stable-maid" or "inn-keeper". He makes this fact a virtue, calling Helena a bona stabularia, a "good stable-maid". Other sources, especially those written after Constantine's proclamation as emperor, gloss over or ignore her background.
It is unknown where she first met her future partner Constantius. The historian Timothy Barnes has suggested that Constantius, while serving under Emperor Aurelian, could have met her while stationed in Asia Minor for the campaign against Zenobia. Barnes calls attention to an epitaph at Nicomedia of one of Aurelian's protectors, which could indicate the emperor's presence in the Bithynian region soon after 270. The precise legal nature of the relationship between Helena and Constantius is unknown: the sources are equivocal on the point, sometimes calling Helena Constantius' "wife", and sometimes calling her his "concubine". Jerome, perhaps confused by the vague terminology of his own sources, manages to do both. Some scholars, such as the historian Jan Drijvers, assert that Constantius and Helena were joined in a common-law marriage, a cohabitation recognized in fact but not in law. Others, like Timothy Barnes, assert that Constantius and Helena were joined in an official marriage, on the grounds that the sources claiming an official marriage are more reliable.
Helena gave birth to Constantine I in 272. In 293, Constantius was ordered by emperor Diocletian to divorce her in order to qualify as Caesar of the Western Roman Empire, and he was married to the step-daughter of Maximian, Theodora. Helena never remarried and lived in obscurity, though close to her only son, who had a deep regard and affection for her.
Constantine was proclaimed Augustus of the Roman Empire in 306 by Constantius' troops after the
latter had died, and following his elevation his mother was brought back to the public life and the imperial court, and received the title of Augusta in 325. Helena died in 330 with her son at her side. Her sarcophagus is on display in the Pio-Clementino Vatican Museum. During her life, she gave many presents to the poor, released prisoners and mingled with the ordinary worshippers in modest attire, exhibiting a true Christian spirit.
Sainthood: She is considered by the Orthodox and Catholic churches as a saint, famed for her piety. Her feast day as a saint of the Orthodox Christian Church is celebrated with her son on May 21, the Feast of the Holy Great Sovereigns Constantine and Helen, Equal to the Apostles. Her feast day in the Roman Catholic Church falls on August 18. Her feast day in the Coptic Orthodox Church is on 9 Pashons. Eusebius records the details of her pilgrimage to Palestine and other eastern provinces (though not her discovery of the True Cross). She is the patron saint of archaeologists. The names "Saint Eleanor" and "Saint Eleanora" are usually synonymous for Saint Helen.
Relic Discoveries: In 325, Helena was in charge of a journey to Jerusalem to gather Christian relics, by her son Emperor Constantine I, who had recently declared Rome as a Christian city. Jerusalem was still rebuilding from the destruction of Hadrian, a previous emperor, who had built a temple to Venus over the site of Jesus's tomb, near Calvary.
According to legend, Helena entered the temple with Bishop Macarius, ordered the temple torn down and chose a site to begin excavating, which led to the recovery of three different crosses. Refused to be swayed by anything but solid proof, a woman from Jerusalem, who was already at the point of death from a certain disease, was brought; when the woman touched a cross suddenly recovered and Helena declared the cross with which the woman had been touched to be the True Cross. On the site of discovery, she built the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, while she continued building churches on every Holy site.
She also found the nails of the crucifixion. To use their miraculous power to aid her son, Helena allegedly had one placed in Constantine's helmet, and another in the bridle of his horse. Helena left Jerusalem and the eastern provinces in 327 to return to Rome, bringing with her large parts of the True Cross and other relics, which were then stored in her palace's private chapel, where they can be still seen today. Her palace was later converted into the Santa Croce in Gerusalemme.
The reliquary of Jerusalem was committed to the care of Saint Macarius and kept with singular care and respect in the magnificent church which Saint Helen and her son built there. Saint Paulinus relates that, though chips were almost daily cut off from it and given to devout persons, yet the sacred wood suffered thereby no diminution. It is affirmed by Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, twenty-five years after the discovery, that pieces of the cross were spread all over the earth; he compares this wonder to the miraculous feeding of five thousand men, as recorded in the Gospel. The discovery of the cross would have happened in the spring, after navigation began on the Mediterranean Sea, for Saint Helen went the same year to Constantinople and from there to Rome, where she died in the arms of her son on the 18th of August of the same year, 326.

Unfortunately the change we need is to do away with the the two party system and unite together. A government that fights among itself constantly is not serving MY best interest.
Here is my simple easy lesson on politics. For this illustration I will use the top political office, The President.
Any resemblance to persons living or dead is possibly accidental.
There are approximately 300 million people in the USA. Assuming that just one percent of the population are intelligent enough to run the country that would give us 3 million people to choose from. Assuming only one percent of those have enough political experience to run the country we still have 30,000 to choose from. Assuming only one percent of those have the leadership qualities and moral character to run the country, will still have 300 people choose from.
Now scratch all those because anyone that intelligent is smart enough not to run for president and anyone with great leadership qualities won't bow down to their party so they won't get the nomination.
Enter your two candidates. Mr. Donkey Turd and Mr. Elephant Crap. (Sorry ladies they are both male)
Mr. D. Turd is fresh, brown and flexible.
Mr. E. Crap is old, white and hard.
Some say Mr. Turd is too new.
Some say Mr. Crap is too old.
Some say Mr. Turd is too brown
Some say Mr. Crap is too white
Some say Mr. Turd is too soft on the hard issues.
Some say Mr. Crap will crumble under the pressure.
Some will vote for Mr. Turd because he is a Donkey turd.
Some will vote for Mr. Crap because he is Elephant crap.
Some will vote for Mr. Diarrhea because they don't like Donkey or Elephants.
Some will just not vote.
But regardless of who wins
The Donkey Turds will try to stop any good that Elephant Turds try to do so that people won't start liking Elephant Turds.
Elephant Turds will try to stop any good that The Donkey Turds try to do so that people won't start liking The Donkey Turds.
Meanwhile the country goes down the toilet.
