Where are the Children?

I have been looking at all the reports of missing children . . and I am wondering . . where have all these children gone? In looking at   this one article I can see a very small snapshot of this epidemic . . 901,125 in one year . . . that so scary sad . . this many children missing from only nine (9) of the world's countries!!
                * 901,125 *
Children away from their families.
  If 22,000  children go missing every day worldwide, where are all these children?

As I sit back in my apartment watching my child play a video game I wonder how so many . . so so many children can be missing worldwide and no one seems to know where they are . .
Seems mighty odd. . . in the US there are  certain states  where more than the 'normal' number of people go missing.
How is it that some states with huge national forests have large numbers of children supposedly wandering into the woods never to be seen again while other states which also have huge forests don't have the same pattern?? I lived in Bradford, PA from 1976-1981 . . we lived at 3 Iroquois Dr in Bradford so had the woods across the street. We roamed the woods (way up the logging trails and deep into the forest) freely and without incident. And, that entire time, I don't remember ever hearing of a child missing in the woods. It was a small town where, at that time, we could sleep with our front doors unlocked.
I have found however that eighty years ago a little girl went missing in the woods Bradford and has yet to be found. But that seems to be an anomaly. I can say, though, that there are creepy and weird stories about all the national and state parks. I'd encourage you to look at those as well as cross check what I've shared here.

So, what do you think? Where are all these children? How is it that they've "magically' disappeared?Why can't NATO get this under control??
Why are we allowing this to happen to this extent in the U.S.??
Does anyone have any answers?

How is it that we are unable to find all of these children? I can't help but believe someone knows where these children are. I am baffled that world governments aren't making this more of a priority. Could it be that the governments are a part of the problem??

Manicotti's October

A long evening of caring for two (2) people has me soo tired . . so I'm stealing her pillow again!!

I found his foot and it smells . . like a guy ..  like socks . . like outdoors . . and it's all mine!!!

Hmmmm . . . I wonder if they'd notice me sneaking out . .?

🐚My Hermit Crabs

He and his buddy are cute and little. Last night I refilled their water and saturated their sea sponge. Then I gave them a pile of fresh veggie peels to munch.
Sooo . . now they are up and about a bit. I really do need to name them and spend some time taming then. Until then they are still fun to watch and super low maintenance. 🐚

Where am I?

Hey there . . hoping all is well with you 🌞 I am at home. . . you can't always know where I am by my posts as I schedule ahead . . meaning I love to share all the fun things we do but I also like some privacy and safety . . no doubt most of my followers are sweet kind people . . but there is always that one creepy person . . so, usually I schedule posts. . . I may be at the park and my post says I'm home . . or I'm at work and it says I'm home cleaning. . like today. . my blog says I've been to two (2) different parks . . . in reality I'm at home. . skipped church because I don't feel good. . . probably a sinus thing . . it appears to have drained into my stomach all night . . oh.for.joy. 😒 actually I've been like this since yesterday morning . . or maybe even Friday as I pretty much stayed in bed all day . . wow, so it's really affected my week more than I realized! But it's just sinuses draining/trying to kill me . . it will end eventually. . fortunately I only work four (4) hours today, and not until 5pm with an easy client💜 until then I rest .. sweet Manicotti came and snuggled me early this morning . . h definitely earns his keep! 😽 and Matt has brought be food, drinks and huge hugs .. ahh 👦

Test Run

Hi, this is sort of a test run to see if I want to return to blogger . . I've been hanging out at WordPress, but it got so glitchy that I have to make some decisions . . I have 160+ followers there and hate to leave them but. . . .
Ok, so

Where Should I Blog . . aka WordPress is acting odd

Hey . . I'm still here. . but I am seriously struggling to post . . WordPress won't allow me to post any more pics even though there were no complaints about what I've posted and I've only used 75%+/- of storage . .. Also I am not able, for whatever odd reason, to add myself w/my other email address as an additional administrator.. .

*sigh*

So . . I am thinking seriously about just going back to Patreon. . . from there I will just begin to follow all of you and try to participate in as many prompts etc as possible . . your prompts are soooo fun!! I know I won't be able to participate in the same way but I'll still create ping-backs. .

Any thoughts from anyone?

I'm Stuck . .

Okay, actually I'm stuck and tired. A lot has been going on behind the scenes . . and I want to share it all.

I had a few posts in draft where WordPress couldn't handle the pics . . odd as they were basic pics. . . grrrr . . and WordPress kept having glitches while.I.was.typing. grrrr. . .

Then there is the issue with email addresses attached to my site. Initially I set it up with my gmail account. Later I switched to my yahoo but WordPress, in all it's funky wisdom, decided to keep both attached and lock me out of some areas . . and their staff were unable to fix this . . GRR . . 😡

So I've put in yet another request for help. But, honestly, I am thinking I should simply set up another blog here and import all my posts to that one . . if WordPress will allow this . . I may have to use my gmail and backdoor the switch (aka: trick WordPress into letting me have my posts back)!!

Stay tuned . .

A Snood .. ?

Well, hello there. So glad you're back. Can you stay a minute, please?

I've pulled out some of my things that have been packed away. This is one of my snoods.



I haven't worn my snoods in a while. I bought both extra large so I'd have plenty of room as my hair grows. This means my hair still does not fill it out. 😒 Also I'm not sure I'm positioning it correctly.

As it's getting colder out my fun snoods, etc will be an easy option. . . warm head, cover bad hair days, experiment with ideas . .

Do you wear snoods? What tricks do you use?
