My guy has made me watch this film countless times. Ok, he didn't make me watch it, I've just been there when he puts it on, but I think it's to the point now I can almost say the dialogue all the way through. I like the part where he always has a different colored shirt on and the unit can't all coordinate.

That's interesting, I'll tell my guy. Although, if I do it'll remind him about the film and you know what that'll mean; he'll want to watch it again. 😳

Let's see what people make of the topics this week. I've been seeing a growing trend towards passionless, seemingly "empty" writing lately so I'm hoping for better.

Have a good weekend.

I once took a selfie in front of a shelf. I called it a shelfie.

I would upvote your shelfie...

But that's just my 2 cents.

I would get that camera/phone looked at. All your shelfies are blurry or look cartoonish.

I know you will, you got my back.

It was a good shelfie; the shelf was legit, not too sure about the cartoon head-me though. A bit dodgy.

I'll take flowers, dead or otherwise, over narcissists.

There's a reason I made that clause; basically because there's a certain collection of people that seem intent on making a selfie the main image of just about every post. Their choice of course, but this way I can mute them if they turn up.

Of course, I would probably mute them anyway.

Lets do a comparison shall we...

This is one of my all time faves.

I am guessing 13 ish years ago in New Mexico waiting on a load and hanging with one of the coolest cats in the world. We did quite a lot of walkabouts on the harness back then. Not so much these days.

I think Samantha wins. Paws Down. 🐾

Who is this? And what Have YOU done with my @galenkp ??

Nice to meet You Mr. Kellan Poole

Randy Darrin Briggs here.

Hmmm..?

Maybe #3 as it keeps me from self therapy theu analyzing the hot mess that I am.

3.Your best mobile phone images of something other than selfies...post three and explain where they were taken and what you love about them.

I am thinkin' about the three fotos. It will be a challenge for me not to post Samantha and I as selfies. That is just because we are...

So Ruggedly Handsome

You two and your comments make me laugh, and also roll my eyes. Could you be more silly? Actually, I'm quite certain the answer is yes. Don't change though, it's called having a personality and you two have plenty of that.

You been ok?

I have been sick since January 15. I am feeling a lot better now, though I still have a lingering cough. On some days (specifically January 19 and 20), it was so bad that I honestly felt like I might even die. I was struggling with a high fever, the flu, intense headaches, and shortness of breath.

​When I visited the doctor, he told me I wasn't drinking enough water. He said if I increased my water intake, I would be fine. He prescribed six Panadols a day, which at least made it easier to sleep at night.

​The strange thing was that I wasn't sick every single day. Some days I felt completely fine, while others I felt terribly ill. I started improving after January 21, but this cough just won't go away. It’s frustrating because the doctors here don’t seem to diagnose much beyond telling me to get more sunlight and drink more water.

(Used Urdu to English conversion so u can better understand my gibberish)

Good news:

Gifted my mom dryer. We had washing machine before but with a dryer.... That's our first ever dryer

We get less sunlight here in flats and it's often hard to dry clothes. We r enjoying the blessings of science and technology. Small things makes life easier.

Sometimes people pick up little bugs that linger, come and go, but some Panadol and rest usually does the trick to get rid of it. Sleep is a good healer.

I don't have a clothes dryer, I don't really like the feel of clothes after being tumble dried. I used to have one of course, but after not using it for so long I decided never to buy one again. Of course, it's pretty dry here and sunny so it's not really a requirement.

I thought it was time to use my reap name and stop the charade of fake names so changed my profile accordingly.

You certainly are handsome, I think everyone on Hive sees and knows that. I just don't want to see a stream of fucken ugly fucken wobble heads in my community so making it a rule means I can mute those who do it.

Selfies of hot gals with big boobs is ok though.

Self-awareness, fear, courage, and human improvement seem like very interesting topics to me, and the opening quote from the philosopher Plato summarizes some of these themes.
Happy weekend.
Cheers and best regards.

I think I'll dedicate myself to searching the galleries this week, because just reading the topics brings to mind photos I liked.

But, who knows where they are 😅

With my Sunday morning coffee, I can spend some time looking for them.

My selfie? In the gallery I only have those pictures of my head, when I accidentally clicked the camera rotation button 🤣

and of course, when there are more of us in the frame, and there's no one to take our picture.
So I don't have to worry about being mutated 🙂

Haha! So you do that too? I don't know how many times I've taken a ridiculous photo of myself by accident by jlhitrijg that front camera button. I delete them of course, no one needs to see that horrible sight.

It mostly happens when the light shines in my eyes, so I can't see what I'm clicking.
Then my face is frowned, like Popeye's, I squint in one eye 🤣

Those photos could be printed as stickers and stuck on candy jars to scare children 😅
