This is tanuki and his little owl friend...a typical greeting at the entrance of a Japanese home or café. Tanuki is a fable raccoon and has a reputation for being a reveler....so he signifies hospitality.
I didn't know that Elston. I new the Japanese had a thing for cats but didn't know about owls.
They are sweet aren't they.

My one cat looks like an owl in his face.. LOL. really cute I call him my little owl.

Not sure why but have had this ongoing rash on my back--just a small area and it really itches. Makes me think nerves? Allergies from medications--but I don't take much in the way of medications really? Who knows but it sure is miserable. I've been having DH put Hydrocortisone cream on it for a week now and it hasn't helped much. Guess I'll ask the Dr on my next visit....ugh...
I've been keeping busy with taking pictures and trying to get a few items listed but I have a very hard time concentrating--just plugging along.
It's hot today so I am hoping it cools off for tomorrow since that is my mowing day! Fingers crossed!

Cyn......IMHO...."meaness" is intentional and is a strategy....the person who is being "mean" does it to control and gain advantage over someone else.....and by doing so to make themselves feel better or feel superior. The one who is mean" is looking for a reaction and in whatever form it comes.....they look for the payoff. They may want to intimidate or instill guilt and to punish the object of their meaness and to make them subservient.....or just to make them feel inadequate and feel just as badly as they feel.

People who are mean to others.....are like the trolls on line....and need to be ignored and not fed.

Yes, and I agree elston! And I agree with you too Dude!! There has never been a creature I have ever dealt with that was literally "mean' except the human kind! Have to wonder why they get that way or feel it is ok to be like that?????????? Anyhow, My best way to take care of the situation is to lose communication with the negative and mean person----so instead here I am talking to all of you!
