    Parrots

    My friend had a parrot many years ago, an African grey I think. He was a real clever lad, figured out how to use the phone!

    Advent calendars

    When I was a wee lad, my parents got me an amazing advent calendar that was a cardboard chimney with little boxes that slotted in like bricks. The whole idea was to put your own small gifts in each box. They alternated between chocolate one day and a small gift the next, it was the greatest...

    @scleod I don’t think it was edited, just a good photographer! It was taken during a particularly strong solar storm with intense Aurora. We also had a lunar eclipse and a large meteor recently, so a great month to be a space enthusiast! Also, thanks for the follow! :)

    What English (UK) Dialect Could This Be?

    It’s usually "purple burglar alarm". :) The former head of NATO was a Scotsman, General George Robertson. I heard a radio interview with him discussing the war in Ukraine and he managed to slip the words “burglar alarm” into the interview!

    Lunar Eclipse

    Nice work! We were supposed to be able to see a red blood moon here last night, but it was too cloudy at my location.

    What's the difference between Autism's sensory challenges and sensorial challenges when you are HSP??

    To me, it looks like the 2 are separate but have similarities that look the same. But first we have to take into account personal preference. Some autistic people prefer to also call themselves HSPs. Here I’m talking about them being separate. The biggest similarity is that both experience...
