Humanity…

referring to the “human race” was first recorded in the mid-15th century. Its roots are in both Old French and Latin. Both root languages include mankind/humankind in origin, and collectively include the concepts of kindness, giving, all life on earth, refinement (referring to how one is raised), as well as pity. (Old French, humanité, umanité and Latin, humanitatem, date to the late…

Word a Week Photograph Challenge: Transport | Just Horsing Around

Not Horsing Around!

Even the most reliable mode of transport can break down. My much-loved, ’97 Blazer has needed 2 major repairs in the last month. (I think she is jealous about my new mode of “transport” and threw a couple of fits to prove her point. Yes, my Blazer is a “she” and is named “Blazey”.) .

INTJ / INTP and Leaps of Logic – Are they logical?

I enjoy reading the posts on other INTJ and INTP personality types – we know we are few and far between. Because I like to take tests and to test systems, I have run through some of the online “mini” tests to evaluate accuracy. No scientific evaluation, just a fun thing to do, like taking my blood pressure with an automatic pump at the pharmacy. (I know the machine is just giving me a “ball park”…

Seasonal Scent — what’s the smell you associate the most with summer? Summers-gone-by smelled like chlorine, baby oil and Coppertone lotion.

Add the smells of freshly mowed grass and the sometimes welcome rain … Those were the daily fragrances of my childhood, teen years, and the many spent as a stay-at-home-mom. (Full disclosure – add sweaty baseball uniforms with a hint a grass and dust to the…
