#feelingnuts

I was challenged by my friend +Kahvy Sands to take part in the #feelingnuts campaign. So this is my response to his challenge.

The challenge gave me the opportunity to learn how to make poses and a bit more about simple photography (no Photoshop involved, thank you very much). My teacher was my amazingly talented, wonderful, patient (mostly), lovely, beautiful, handsome, sweet and ever so charming husband Tomais.

I am passing the buck on and am now challenging +Tomais Ashdene  and my co-bloggers Apmel Goosson (+Lennart Nilsson)  and +Eddi Haskell.

Join our movement, share #feelingnuts on Twitter and get everyone checking their love grenades

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish all my American family and friends a wonderful thanksgiving!

Although I have a severe food intolerance against poultry (except ostriches for some strange reason), as soon as I think about eating it I gag and my vomit reflexes start tingling, I will not deny ya'll the enjoyment of eating turkey. Just don't tell me how exquisite it is...

Stray Dog Arthur Adopts Swedish Extreme Team

Tipped by my rough and tough looking brother Dejerrity Mycron, who is so mushy sometimes you wouldn't believe it!

Read what Gawker wrote about it, but before doing so please note that "Arthur" does not mean "extreme" in Swedish. (I wonder where in the world they got that from?) Gawker: Extreme Racers Adopt Extreme Dog Who Followed Them Through the Amazon.

Unite to End Violence Against Women

"The United Nations General Assembly has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women  The premise of the day is to raise awareness of the fact that women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence; furthermore, one of the aims of the day is to highlight that the scale and true nature of the issue is often hidden. For 2014, the official Theme framed by the UN Secretary-General’s campaign UNiTE to End Violence against Women, is Orange your Neighborhood.

Historically, the date is based on date of the 1960 assassination of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic; the killings were ordered by Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo. In 1981, activists marked November 25 as a day to combat and raise awareness of violence against women more broadly; on December 17, 1999, the date received its official United Nations (UN) resolution. The UN and the Inter-Parliamentary Union have encouraged governments, international organizations and NGOs to organize activities to support the day as an international observance. For example, UN Women (the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women) observes the day each year and offers suggestions for other organizations to observe it. For 2014, the focus is on how violence cuts across all 12 of the critical areas of concern of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, which turns 20 next year."
