-Octavio Paz

musical tastes

psychedelic rock, jam bands, bluegrass, folk, jazz, indie, old timey country

Things I am NOT fond of

Intolerance.

Micro-managers.

Please Consider This...

Give the gift of life!

Donate blood and plasma. Can't donate? Organize a blood drive.

Please consider becoming a bone marrow donor/ stem cell donor by joining the National Marrow Donor Program.

Donor Site for those in Europe

You could "Be the Match" and have the unique opportunity of saving someone's life.In case you're wondering, marrow and stem cell donation is done while you're alive. It's much simpler than giving someone a kidney.

This is an issue that is very close to home for me. My daughter had bone marrow failure disease received a peripheral stem cell transplant from a donor in the registry in July 2010. Her donor is in Germany!

Wondering...

Does anyone remember dotee dolls? I've had a hankering to make one/some. PM me if you want to swap dotees.

Comment: Hi Mindy, Thanks for the great indian bags PC! Love the information you wrote as well. We are heading towards our dry season, we dont have autumn in Darwin. Its still very hot and humid. When the dry finally arrives (it’s kind of like our “winter “, humidity drops and temps are just slightly lower - upto 33 C instead of 36C). Ive just returned from a trip to Dunsborough, where they were having beautiful cool autumn weather. The leaves hadn't changed yet, but the bob tail lizards had stopped visiting - hibernating somewhere i guess! Love the Ruth asawa postage stamps! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful card. We had no snow on Christmas here in northern Indiana which was never the norm when I was a kid but seems to happen more often in recent years. Global warming maybe?! The tea sounds good. I’ll have to find some and give it a try. Happy rest of January!
