when eating wild mushrooms leave some for the doctor to analyse.

If the doctor isn't called - you will have mushroom for more!

I knew a lass who like her magic mushrooms. She suffered depression. (not an unknown correleation) And in fact it killed her in the end, she went to the pub for a glass of cheer and wandered home to husband & kid across a main road. And that was that.

When it comes to deadly mushrooms no doctor can help. The white angel will give you 2 weeks of normality then you don't wake up again because your organs suddenly liquefied in 2 hours. no cure
The good news is we don't eat wild white mushrooms.

more good news - Donald trump knows nothing about Wouten Bason.
unless Bannon told him.

I'll tell em but he won't listen, besides it helps make him look like the folks of PR and the Virgin Islands are not Americans.


In the highlands of Scotland a family lost control of their canoe and it floated away.
The Police relayed their distress call to the nearest people in the area and contacted the steam train Hogwarts Express to stop and pick up the family. Despite a risk of dementers in the area the family was happily rescued.

Good news would be if this posts; I spent 20 minutes an hour ago, writing my favorite songs/ diff. version, listed about 10 songs ........
And my post wouldn't t post.

Other good news. Dave Letterman on Kimmel last night reminded his fans (like me) just
how funny he was. He told a story, hilarious and wry, of how Conan O Brian didn t appreciate the gift from Dave- a horse. Lmao.

Also, I went to Central Park yesterday to relax jand as I sat in the
lovely alley of trees in the nature conservancy, a hermit thrush plopped
down on the fence post right before me Never saw one before (I had to look
it up)- I got a pic and listened to its haunting bittersweet call. Like a train
song by old Hank. Lovely day too; clear and mild.

Congratulations on the hermit thrush. That is amazing! I have encountered the hermit thrush only two times in my life, and I never saw it, only heard its beautiful call.

A few days ago, representatives of the Wesboro Baptist Church tried to protest at Carnegie Mellon University. They were met by members of the University's world renowned bagpipe band. Kind of hard for them to make themselves heard. There's a YouTube video of it out there.

A bird in DC had its beak so worn down it couldn't catch bugs. With the skeleton of the bird's ancestor and a digital printer the bird got a new beak. - npr

I know some people like to emphasise the ignorance of the US president. But if you must point out his ignorance, at least do a fact check first.
Donald Trump is only president of some of the Virgin Islands.

To lift my spirits I like to watch this video of feral horses in the Netherlands being rescued from high water. The music is beautiful and works so well with it. Watch it if you haven't already.

Good news from Zimbabwe, if they can pull it off. Here in England, we've never looked back since we achieved a similar changeover in 1688.

My heartfelt thanks to Mudcatter Nigel Parsons.

It was good news for me to receive a PM
from the much-missed Senoufou/Eliza,
and thanks to Nigel
she is now posting above the line
on Nigel's quiz threads.

It's good to have her back --
thanks for attracting her attention.

One of the environmentalists in this New York Times feature story
explicitly declares this development "Good News."

I'm more ambivalent about it.

Sorry if this is something
that I have already absent-mindedly posted,
I don't recall --

but there was an inspiring demonstration
of how the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone,
which controlled nicely the overpopulation of deer and such,
turned the whole ecosystem of Yellowstone around
and actually allowed things to come back -- good things --
that the deer had kind of overeaten or trampled or something.

What's the point of good news? All it means is a brief respite before the next pile of proverbial.
