Laughter equals...I was gonna say laughter, but that's a little obvious, yet not what you might have expected???

I never know what to expect from you, Jill. 🤣 I appreciate you reading and commenting.

You are one of my most trusted sources.

Truth is so hard to find these days.

I am as reliable as any social media platform. 🤣

Life seems to be stacked against us. Oh, well! We had a good run!

They got off to a rocky start, but I foresee trouble ahead.

Richard Ritenbaugh's avatar

I heard they're stone-cold killers! We'll get our blocks knocked off!

Mark Starlin's avatar

Apparently, they have a rock-solid plan.

It'll take us back to the Stone Age.

Weird. You can't make this stuff up...

Yeow! Shish kebab and marshmallows? Sounds like there is going to be a little fire.....

Not an appealing combo to me, but, you know, aliens… 🤣

I’d no longer be surprised if the animals in my yard started speaking to me in English.

As Mary Oliver kinda said, an artist must be ready for any possibility. 😊 Suit up and prepare like a knight.

You never know. Animals talking would be a real game-changer.

3musesmerge's avatar

I try to understand their animal speak as it is… with varying degrees of comprehension. 😁

Mark Starlin's avatar

Yeah, I wish I were more like Jude, the Animal Expert Dude. He reads their minds using telepathy.

Was the Loppypop Guild Earth's first encounter with extraterrestrial aliens? Who knows?

I think at least half of the ethnic groups in Oz are descended from alien immigrants- it's the only real explanations for some of them.
