This tiny, punky mammal can only be found in one place on Earth: Madagascar, off the coast of southeast Africa. These animals can grow up to 20 centimetres long (eight inches), weighing only 125 to 280 grams (four to 10 ounces). Its spines, like those of a porcupine, are detachable, providing a defence mechanism while foraging on the ground. This tenrec also uses its quills to communicate with other members of the species, rubbing them together to warn of a predator.
Silently it works in me Even if I have just one sip of sweet tea. I don’t know how it will work from day today Sometimes…most times I wish it to just go away. When I am sad or mad it quickly reacts Like a sting from stepping on a thumbtack. Why does it want me anyway? I didn’t ask for it when I would pray. I wanted a less complicated life One without any physical strife. Sometimes though regardless of wishing We go through things that are just not uplifting. Instead of peace, I get a constant reminder And a disease that throws up lots of blinders. A disease that hates me It is the notorious Diabetes.
Well, it is getting closer to our Holidays here in the USA. Usually it never lets one holiday finish or even start without cramming in another holidays things all on display in our stores and markets.
I often find that Thanksgiving gets crowded out and so does Valentine’s day. Alomg with other holidays. What I am wondering is what do you think?
What is it you think about Holidays overlapping, and sometimes crowding out another Holiday?
Let me know!!!!
WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT HOLIDAYS OVERLAPPING? IS THERE ANYTHING TO DO?
1. Use it as packing material. It can cushion breakable, valuable items when you’re storing them or when you’re moving.
2. Put it in under kitty litter. Since cats like depth, it can add some depth to the litter box, meaning you’ll need to use less litter.
3. Loosely stuff it into empty toilet paper rolls or cut up paper towel rolls to make kindling or fire starters.
4. Make more paper. The video below shows how easy it is if you have the right tools. (Tip: In the video they use paper towels in the process, which would get thrown away after. Try using an old cotton scarf in place of the paper towels that can be washed and reused.)
5. Stuff it in an opaque vase to keep silk flower arrangements in place.
6. Donate it to an animal shelter where they can use it for bedding or litter, but call first to make sure they need it.
7. Use as filler for gift bags.
8. Use it as a layer of mulch under fill dirt, compost or other mulch. This works best with plain white paper or newspaper. Colored paper or paper that’s glossy won’t break down as easily.
9. Make paper clay. This video below demonstrates how to make DIY shredded paper clay that can be hand molded or used in molds.
10. If you don’t want to do anything with it, offer it on Freecycle or a Facebook neighborhood swap site. There may be others who may want it for any of the above reasons.
