Coleman hawkins, HELLO LOLA,.

Budgie comments on Jul 2, 2020:

It is a happy tune, at least that is what I get from it. Can just about see them dancing to it if I have my era right. If not well it is only in my head so it does not matter.

Probably not many are a fan of this song, but I have to play it today: Elmer's Tune, by Benny ...

Budgie comments on Jul 2, 2020:

Great to have memories that are linked to things and a catchy tune as well.

No shit sorry

Budgie comments on Jul 2, 2020:

I can see a wall getting built by both Canada and Mexico to keep the American's at bay I am pretty sure at this point the rest of the world will chip in a bit to make sure no one come to their country from America, it is spiraling out of control there.

Set up a pentacle in your backyard, go out and lay some food in it give the demon a name and call for him. Put out some water it must be as hot as hell. Then pretend to throw a ball for it to retrieve, pat it etc. Tie a rope to the hill hoist or a tree and spend some time teaching it how to skip, especially when the neighbours are out in their yard. Oh and video please. I would send a letter to Paul Skelley informing him that under no circumstances is he or any of his congregation allowed on your property and should be enter your property then you will be calling the police, quote the phone conversation as your reason why he should not enter. Send it certified with a return certificate. If he or anyone enters your property call the police. Have fun and let us know what happens.

Budgie comments on Jul 1, 2020:

Doesn't tend to happen to me. I even once sat by myself (my father was in a brass band I had given him a lift in to a performance and was having a cuppa while I waited) as I could see some nutter trying to work the crowd but I must have been too scary and giving off the "Come on make my day vibe." He never came over to my area, I even had a spare chair for him to sit on noticed that he was going after the young Asian women who were by themselves. Coward.

Given that the ass does not interest me in the least I still read the sentence incorrectly as most of us when reading do not read each word we read words longer than 3 letters and fill in the rest. So I read it as what if I told you the same way that poeple will raed words corrctly even if they are not speled corrctly as long as the first and last letters are correct.

A Pastor Wants to Replace “White Privilege” With the “White Blessing” of Slavery | Beth ...

Budgie comments on Jun 16, 2020:

Let's not be making white people uncomfortable, I teach indigenous students and non indigenous and we have open conversations about how race affects people and how some people are judged solely on their race without any thought to them as a person, I TEACH SPECIAL ED and these kids get it, they can talk about how they are treated we talk about The Stolen Generation and why it happened and what happened to those children. One of my indigenous students has stated that he would never go to America as he is too scared he would be shot by the police, and we discuss why some of them are safe to walk down a street in America but he would not be and that is White Privilege. I guess our kids are tougher as they have all faced some sort of discrimination having disabilities so they have some idea of being judged because of that but please note they also have intellectual impairments which affect their reasoning (I have a class with 4 ASD children who are constantly telling each other not to do things and that is not the right way to do something and struggle with changes to routines) but they get the idea of White Privilege.

For me, this is just a sexy song... [youtube.com]

Budgie comments on Jun 15, 2020:

I think that the two tiered system was to prevent a federal government from having too much power, however as a teacher my teaching registration board card is useless out side of my state my working with children card is useless outside of my state, I think having national standards and requirements would allow for better movement from one state to another. If I moved to another state I lose all of my sick leave and have to apply for another job. I also have to resign from my current job.

My encounter meeting a racist, transphobic, chatterbox, conversation hog

Budgie comments on Jun 8, 2020:

If he is at another gathering and start spouting rubbish, stand up and walk out, come back after a time if he is still speaking walk out again, if he confronts you just tell him he has nothing to say that is valid. Walk away don't respond to him do not validate his replies, after that just ignore him. If others do the same he loses his audience and will be silenced (he is going to say a lot of nasty stuff at you trust me) get others to walk with you.

Does a ovo-vegetarian believe in abortion? hmmmm

Budgie comments on Jun 7, 2020:

The two are completely different issues. I eat eggs, they come from my chickens who roam freely and are taken to a vet if they get ill and all have their own names. Chickens produce eggs even if they are not with a rooster so many eggs are unfertilized. I do not eat eggs when I eat out as they would have come from a battery hen and I oppose that. As far as abortion goes I want women to have access to safe and legal abortions but it is up to each individual person to decide for themselves what they want to do in any situation. I actually joke with people when they say "But you eat eggs that I am not okay with murder but I am fine with abortion." So this ovo-vegetarian agrees with women having access to safe and legal abortions.
