I don't get it either. 

Thank You It's just a wee festival, the big one is held in December, with the torchlight parade through the town. The massive boat waiting in the harbour to be burnt, it's a great experience. But the best is Up Helly Aa over on Shetland. What a sight that is, haven't been for a few years because of my health but I'm ready to go back again at the years end.  . 

Great pics Raven!

Personally, I don't know any specific Jews, and I don't specifically support Jews in all respects.
However, I have never found or even thought anything that turns me against them.

What I do know, and I do detest, is people who for no specific reason seem to detest the Jews generally.
Why?  Why do some people detest them?  Does anyone know of any particular reason for this?

Just finished making a batch of Bolognaise for the freezer.
After that,  I made some fishy treat biscuits for the dogs.  

Good grief       It's 10 to 5 already!

She told May- Ted had the pox
And very seldom changed his socks
She also said -
He wasn't right in the head

Yes it does but you cannot imagine how they treat animals especially horses in Egpyt .
They have no sense of compassion at all towards them and subject them to terrible treatments when they are ill which only cause them more pain .
Sadly  I have seen this with my own eyes .
Yet we too are amiss .
We have abandoned our own laws of cruelty , that were brought in by slaughter men themselves by giving an exception to ritual slaughter without pre stunning .
This is an abomination .
I have no quarrel with ritually slaughtered  meat ( apart from it being barbaric and I don't want meat prayed over to someone's else's sky fairy ) as long as the animal feels no pain .
This can be avoided by pre-stunning which renders the animal unconscious but not dead and in impervious  to pain .
