What are these colorful rubber things?

Earbug covers!

edit: er, I meant to say earBUD covers.

Have you thought about a hired tour? We took a Heart of Scotland tour to Loch Ness from Edinburgh and had a great time. Our guide was fantastic and a lot of fun. They have 3 and 4 day tours as well as day trips.

What a WONDERFUL photograph! I'll have a smile on my face all day thinking of this lovely woman!

I can't identify anything about it, but I can tell you that during WWII there were many street artists in Europe that sold small paintings and sketches. I have two small paintings my grandfather brought back and found these artists would do the same subject over and over.

I'm not saying yours is one of these, but just letting you know the possibility.

Actually, I think they are terns. They used to be considered a subfamily of gulls, but are now treated as a different family.

went to the shelter to adopt a cat and found the perfect boy. A black Persian with giant orange eyes, terribly brachycephalic, and his lower jaw was so overshot his lower fangs stuck out.

When I had the interview to determine if I was a responsible pet owner, the interviewer told me he had been returned several times. When I asked why, she informed me he was unfriendly, could be violent and that one woman returned him because she thought he was a demon. Being a bit of an outcast myself, this just made me more determined to give him a loving home. I brought my little monster home.

The first night I awoke to glowing eyes staring at me from the corner and the sound of rasping, growling, slobbering breathing. After my heartrate went down, I sat up and talked to him. I told him he I wouldn't force him to cuddle or socialize. He could be himself, be safe, never go hungry and have a place to poop in private.

I'm assuming he didn't understand me, because it was six months before he came slowly creeping up and carefully arranged himself in my lap. Oh, what a wonderful day! He was my cuddle boy and sweetbaby for 11 years, but no one, and I mean no one else could touch him. Vets were terrified of him. He had to be left in his carrier, inserted into another container and anesthesia pumped in to even give him a thorough exam.

TL;DR: Demon cat became underworld ally.

I think you should leave it like it is. Restoring it will probably just compound the problem. Value requirements change, so if you ever decide to sell it you can decide at that time what is best for the piece.

I think its psychological. People generally dislike asking for help and by convincing themselves its a simple request they have more courage to ask for what they want.

Plus, tv and movies keep telling us all you have to do is say 'enhance' and you can find a waterbear in the Himalayas.

Darn. I just returned from a wonderful week at the Apex a mere half-block away. (I live in Washington DC). Edinburgh has become my favorite city in the world and Calton Hill one of my favorite places. If I was there I would bring the Irn Bru and Haggis Nachos.

This has made me laugh hardest- not the incident itself, but the 'lord Jesus arf arf'.

I moved into a new apartment and it had a huge kitchen with linoleum flooring. It was the kind with smallish rectangles that are must have been designed to trap and hold crud. I decide I'm going to get every bit of crud out of every tiny trough. I was on my hands and knees with a friggin toothbrush to get that floor clean.

Two hours later, it looks beautiful. I stand up in satisfaction to view my accomplishment when my head connects with the bottom of my freshly watered hanging plant, that falls to the floor and explodes; black, wet, sticky potting soil spread to the four corners. I stand in silence with my mouth hanging open.

I finally decide to laugh about it and clean up the mess. I'm nearly finished, still on my hands and knees and I hear this weird scrambling, rustling sound. I turn my head to see my cat tearing madly towards the kitchen, the handle of a plastic bag around her neck, the rest of the bag ballooning out behind her. She's trying to get away from the bag, but she's only creating a drag parachute. She hits the kitchen floor, notices me, tries to do a last minute correction and Tokyo drifts, scrambling madly, leaving a wide arc of pee and crashes into several full pet bowls full of water and kibble.

It was worth having to clean the floor again. And cleaning a kibble and pee covered Persian.

Lovely! My aunt and uncle are like this. They buy a house, transform the grounds into a wonderland, and then have to move so they can work their magic again. They've taken two boring, dumpy looking places and turned them into showplaces already.

I'm female and I have 3. Before anyone asks, I'm 50 years old and non-slender. So forget it.

Thank you for posting this and thanks to butterfly**** for identifying it. I saw one in Edinburgh last week and didn't know what is was called.

I can't stop looking at this. I so wish I was a blonde so I could do this, too.

I was walking down Post Street in San Francisco one day and as I turned to talk to my friend, I saw a car gracefully launch into the air, gently turn 180 degrees, quietly land on its roof, then slowly slide 20 feet to a stop. It was so beautiful and so non-violent in any way, that some people just stopped and stared at it in awe, and others didn't notice it at all.

I was the first to gather my wits and run to the car, but when I did, it felt oddly like I was doing something very rude. Like passing gas in church.

The driver was perfectly fine, but seat-belted in upside down. He looked around in confusion like he had no idea why the rest of the world was suddenly inverted.

We call this 'the tummy trap'. Also, this kitty has a boop spot on its nose. Traps everywhere.

Oh wow.....I have this shirt. Its faded, though. I think its a size adult large, and I'm not sure where I've packed it. If you're serious about this, I'll have a look to see if I can find it for you.
