Good article. I never had an African grey but I did have a conure. She was a brat but I miss her.

Brenda, we can each of us only speak for ourselves but I know that all of my problems in life are caused by lack of money to pay for fixing them. And when I have enough money I am a lot happier!

Thanks for commenting! I go through phases when I am interested in my dreams and other times I just get on with my waking life.

You brought up an interesting topic. Studies have been done on this and the results are that once a person's basic needs are met, money no longer makes us happy. My brother has a saying: If you aren't happy without money, you aren't going to be happy with it. I think this is so true. There are a lot of miserable rich people in the world.

Yes, money is a necessity and not having enough food, clothing and shelter can make a person's life hell. I used to be determined to get rich. I was striving for that until one day I realized that I don't have the emotional makeup for becoming rich. It came to me when I started thinking about the things that really make me happy: sunshine, animals, books, nature, hobbies, sitting for long periods in the coffee shop talking over coffee with a friend, working for myself. I also need a lot of down time to contemplate life. (Yes, I know I'm pretty boring.) Now, those things do cost some money, but not millions. It really comes down to knowing who you are. Since realizing that, I'm at peace with myself.

I guess the real question is how much money do you need to be happy.

Hi Bard,

Thanks, chickpea curry and parika chickpeas are my favourites at the moment. I've never tried growing chickpeas, to be honest I hadn't even considered it. You have me intrigued now. )

I find that dream with you in a lotus position very interesting. Dreams when I float or fly are wonderful. i do think these are special in some way.

It's cute, isn't it? I liked that one too. :)

Great idea to showcase a kit for making these friendship bracelets! I'm sure it will make a great Christmas gifts for many tweens and teenagers!!

Thanks. I thought Labs deserved their own ornament page. I love that smile on his face too.

These are cute ideas for ornaments. :)) I like best the lab bringing home the Christmas tree in a canoe!

Yes, I know he is excellent! As you can see I have him singing a song of mine.

I LOVE the bottle hugger. Such a great idea!!

Thank you! I am glad you do!

I have used Arjuns's gigs and he does his gigs very well. I used the one where he was in front of the Akbar's mausoleum.

I like it that you included the Beatles song.:)))
