I'm sure the same was said about cars, telephones, telegraphs, and airplanes.

A cleaning robot taking over ALL the house chores, changing beds, etc. would be more than welcome I am sure. Just cleaning the floor is not enough...

When cars became more common in the nineteen twenties, and more people could afford to buy them, there was a backlash over them, the same as with cell phones and computers.

People are and were up in arms over almost every new invention, it's human, and it's healthy, but to use an old expression, you can't stop progress; you learn to use it wisely before moving on.

Before cell phones we had no excuse to just walk out into the street crossing without looking. Now we have those cell phones and we can walk blindly around texting. I love it. It saves so much time. Progress is great.

fastest way to paradise, Rammel?

G P waiting rooms, walking the dog, pushing the pram, heads down, texting..oblivious to humans, cars and where they are..

ABSOLUTELY LOVED each and every sculpture, BUBBLE‼️ Thank you for sharing them with us. I would really like the cleaning robot🤪

LOVED your blooming crab tree....and I love the beautiful smell of lilacs, AMY ❣️ I did not realize Babe and Jesse
weighed that much. I thought of them more in the 50# range🤷

Wonderful pictures of your great grands, JANE❣️

Now that's a good breakfast, Bubble!

Love all the statues, Bubble, and did NOT see the pet in the basket! For a while I took up creating with clay & thought it could be a way to create if eye sight went bad. The studio did the firing but my friend went on & has a small bronze at the zoo, commissioned for the blind to feel to "see" what the animal looks like.

With all the engineers in my family I get to see the new designs when I'm invited to open house, amazing what they can do now. Only robots I run in to around here are the floor cleaners at Sam's Club. I don't get out a lot so enjoy seeing what they can do.

Haha, Jane, I also hate those auto calls but sometimes I even leave a nasty crack cause I know somebody out there has to listen to them!

Amy, every time I go past your photo of lilacs it surprises me because the bushes I've seen aren't shaped like that.... We have lots of flowering crab trees that look like that & all shades & tints of pink to lavender. The crab apples are a mess when they rot on the ground. I still can't "picture in my head" what your wide angle landscape looks like. At first I imagined only a few houses in a cove. Fun to have friends around the world to take our minds for a whirl. Hope you don't mind that I copied your photo of the colored eggs to show my neighbor that has 8 chickens, pairs of 4 breeds. Any chance of seeing the chickens?

Shirley, that's what those old gym whistles are for!

so_P_bubble · June 01, 2023, 03:39:48 AM

Patricia, lovely new avatar! I like blue flowers and don't see many around.

I would love to paint alien faces on those green eggs!

so_P_bubble · June 01, 2023, 03:42:13 AM

to continue with realistic statues, here are some from an art gallery in Phuket, Thailand

Shirley, will get some photos of the hens and Mr R for you.

Bubble, what a great idea, that would look so cool.

so_P_bubble · June 01, 2023, 09:05:47 AM

That man in the first statue could have been my father posing, in his younger years of course.

patricia19 · June 01, 2023, 10:36:33 AM

They are all interesting, makes me believe that the first couple and third grouping were political ones.

so_P_bubble · June 06, 2023, 03:53:22 AM

one face for two people

Vanilla-Jackie · June 06, 2023, 09:30:25 AM

Bubble...
...spooky, but, better than being two faced..

Shirley · June 06, 2023, 03:12:52 PM

Love imagination that put the 2 faces together. Bubble, that is a handsome guy. What did your father do to take you to "distant lands", or where was he from? I've lived such a mundane life in comparison............ Sculptures fascinate me.... I never had one of mine go on to bronze but put glazes on to make them look like. Only high fired clay.

Which one is a guy? They both appear to be wearing dresses.

donklan · June 06, 2023, 07:49:42 PM

RICK...I believe Bubble was referring to the statue in 10274

RAMMEL · June 06, 2023, 08:07:05 PM

Quote from: RAMMEL on June 06, 2023, 08:03:56 PMI was commenting on Shirley's Post - #10281, thinking it was about #10278
I think I may have misread the comment.

Shirley · June 06, 2023, 11:05:18 PM

Okay, clear it up, Bubble pointed to one statue that looked kinda like her father & I said he must have been a handsome man.... I'm interested/nosy/curious about everyone, asked where her father had grown up or something to that effect. I blabber everything about me & my family.

I am rushing to get to bed before 10:00 pm, didn't eat anything tonight so trying to down a few Ritz crackers with peanut butter & washing down with Gatorade to tide me over till morning. Time's up. Sweet dreams & God Bless to all.

By the way, Patricia, we didn't have gym whistles.

Shirley, his parents were from Izmir (Turkey) but he was born in Rhodes, the island that was an Italian colony at the time. Now it is Greek.

My mom's parents were from Hebron and Jerusalem (before Israel creation!) respectively but mom was born in Cairo (Egypt) where her dad worked as a rabbi.

The approach of WW II made them try to find a future in Congo where a younger brother of dad was already settling.

That in short is the family saga.
