Septum Piercings on Girls~ Dangers, Healing, Cleansing and Infections

Decorating and piercing nose parts causes me to consider Dune Two.

The planetary environment causes its denizens to construct functional, albeit darkly decorative, tubelets from one nostril to along the cheek to the ear and the hairline.

Might you have seen the aforementioned film?

That tubing seems like an extreme nose-decorating and nose-piercing.

Gifts for Vegetarians and Vegans for All Occasions

The first paragraph in the first subheading, Gifts for vegetarians, advises us that "many alcoholic drinks, including wine, contain substances which are derived from animal bones, or fish swim bladders or ox blood."

Is there any information about which alcoholic drinks include these unexpected ingredients?

The Razorbilled Bird; Alca Torda Torda and Alca Torda Islandica, Facts and Pictures

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Author Ragnar Jónasson (my favorite along with Kate Mosse, describes ledge-dwelling razorbills who domicile in a remote domain darkened by such a dastardly deed as one perpetrator driving one victim over the razorbill-nest ledge.

Might you have read any mysteries by the aforementioned author, who masters English sufficiently to make Agatha Christie Icelandic-translated novels and short stories since around age 17?

How to Dry and Preserve Chilies for Later Use

Online sources associate chili stems with the same culinary applications as the whole chili.

Chili stems correlate with mineral- and vitamin-containing comestibles.

Might there be more than chili-stem curries, powders, salads and soups?

What about chili-stem drinks and sauces?

Fun Halloween Games For Kids Party Ideas

The last paragraph to the second subheading, The Noodle Or Spaghetti Game, considers game-completion prizes.

What an excellent educationally entertaining, entertainingly educational game (because of identification, observation and sensory skills)!

What kind of prizes gain the most kudos from the game-playing kids (and teens and teen-pluses)?

That is why we are called English. The tribes of South Denmark whence we came often ended their clan names with ing.

Final Thoughts from the Arrow Episode "Blood Debts"

Your third subheading asks "So, What Exactly Happened to Ray Palmer?"

Your answer correlates with Ray Palmer concentrating upon his spin-off series.

Isn't it possible that he initiated his spin-ff interpreting because of his contract not including both series at one time?

Perhaps the film world moved him on so that other Arrow interpreters might become famous too?

English Surnames

Wuffings was the surname of Saxon kings of East Anglia in c 500 AD

So ings can be a Saxon name suffix

Film Review of Honeymoon: Shirley Temple in 1947 Comedy

Perhaps one problem with Shirley Temple establishing herself as a teen and a teen-plus actress ensued from her hairstyle.

Her childhood roles featured that adorable, curly, mophead hair.

Mightn't that have made an equally adorable teen hairstyle?

The Drovers' Route: Keswick to Ambleside

British law regarded the clan or tribal lands as the property of the clan chief and not collectively owned. Individual clan members rented lands from the chief and could be expelled.

I have Armstrong blood. My great grandmother was Sarah Armstrong the daughter of a Scots soldier. But she did not dwell in the Armstrong lands, for she went with her family when her father was posted to India.

English Surnames

It is more likely to be that the original clan name ended in ing, which is believed to derive from an Indo European noun meaning man. Hence ings would denote a group of men. What the name wash means or derives from is unknown.

Religious Liberty: a freedom under threat

Romans practised emperor worship,, which was a proof of loyalty to the emperor, but Christians would not comply, so we're seen as traitors. Druids were a class of priests and priestesses who were militantly hostile to Rome, so we're not tolerated.

The Drovers' Route: Keswick to Ambleside

Thank you for your comment below, on Apr 14, 2023, in answer to my previous, previous-day observation and question on Apr 13, 2023.

Your answer, immediately below, that "I am unsure, but there are still Armstrongs in the traditional clan territory, but they do not own it" intrigues me."

Is the ownership because of the original expulsion to Northern Ireland invoking a forever-withheld right of Armstrong descendants to install themselves again as clan-territory owners?
