About Me
- Joyce Ellen Davis
- 1. In dreams I am often young and thin with long blond hair. 2. In real life I am no longer young, or thin, or blonde. 3. My back hurts. 4. I hate to sleep alone. (Fortunately I don't have to!) 5. My great grandfather had 2 wives at once. 6. I wish I had more self-discipline. (I was once fired from a teaching position in a private school because they said I was "too unstructured and undisciplined." --Who, me??? Naaaahhh....) 7. I do not blame my parents for this. Once, at a parent-teacher conference, the teacher told me my little boy was "spacey." We ALL are, I told her. The whole fan damily is spacey. She thought I was kidding. I wasn't. 8. I used to travel with a theater reperatory company. My parents weren't happy about this. 9. My mother was afraid that I would run off and paint flowers on my cheeks and live in a commune, and grow vegetables. I once smoked pot. ONE TIME. 10. I don't drink or smoke. (Or swear, much. Well, I drink milk, and water, and orange juice, and stuff. Cocoa. I love Pepsi.) 11. Most of my friends are invisible. 12. I am a poet and a writer. All of my writing on these pages is copyrighted. Borrowing (without acknowledgment) is a sin.

Yes, I think I've seen them around here. Great photo!
The dust pillar is mind boggling when you try to comprehend the size. And the energy! I have always loved pictures from the cosmos, have even done pastels of some, and thank you for sharing this one. It's just beautiful.
As for the herd of mites...eeeeuuuu!
I have very special feelings for those guys.
Did you know they're the #1 most common allergen in the entire world?
And the part we're allergic to is...their -
oh i can't say it.
I keep visualizing them with saddles on!!!
That perspective is a little mind-boggling - (don't you just love that word - 'boggling' ?) Anyway - it kind of makes me think of the layers of dimensions - and how we here on earth could just be the dust mites of the universe. Takes some thinking about that one.
Ewww I'd rather not ever look in a microscope. I'm off to shower and do laundry. lol
That is so gross I want to cry. I think there are really good reasons why certain things are invisible to the human eye. Who was that jerk who invented the microscope!?!?!
Zaccharias Janssen, tho' some say it was Antony Van Leeuwenhoek.
