Crochet & handmade craft
I made several macramé hangers just before my nose and throat started to get irritated from the dust or the loose threads that come off this material. They’re for hanging my plant pots. Here I have some that are finished, and others that are hanging there, unfinished, waiting for my nose to get better soon. I learned several knots to make this hanger. I’m a macramé beginner.

My pets
This is our kitten. He ate something that caused an intestinal infection. My son is taking him to the vet. Meme looks scared. Plus, he really doesn't like it when they take his temperature, and they always give him shots. He knows the place and doesn't like it at all. The vet really loves him. She says our kitten is very sweet. Even though Meme gets scared, he's not an aggressive cat.

Sometimes I take a little powdered milk and add some sugar to it. I don't do it in public— it really reminds me of my childhood, when I used to sneak powdered milk from my mother's containers.

Busy days So many things have happened in these times without passing through these pages. I have not been writing as before, the multiple tasks keep me very busy without giving me time to sit down to write. Today I greet you and tell you some things. I am still in my practice even though the economy continues to depreciate and the number of patients in the office has decreased considerably. The venture with my quail birds continues. I have about 60 quail birds between…

My cats Some time ago our beloved Copito died. He was suffering from a urinary blockage and the vet although she did a lot could not get the stone out and our beloved 13-year-old kitty was gone. I can finally write something about him but it still hurts my heart to do so. It seems like only yesterday he was chasing me when I was in my garden. I still have him on the cover photo on my phone and I don't think I'll ever take it off there. He was my biggest pet peeve, crazy, a…

Venezuela
With Venezuelan pride Just a few days ago, the island republic of Singapure hosted the annual international Olympic robotics competitions. Many countries of the world send their delegations to represent them. Venezuela sent a group of six young people from a western region of my country. This group was the winner of the prestigious award for excellence in robotics, the Gold Medal "Albert Einstein Award". This group of young people between 14 and 17 years of age participated…

On the road
The passenger terminal Walking through the city I have stopped at the passenger terminal, unintentionally I am looking at where the public transports arrive to pick up all the people who will travel to different places in the country. My mind starts to fly and remember how it was an episode of life in a bus terminal. Many years ago I had spent a short vacation at home and after it was over I had to return to the university. My car had a breakdown and I had to leave it at…

When I was a kid
The ice cream cup I regularly walk through crowds observing people's positions in many situations. I like to imagine what goes through their minds in those moments when they are with their gazes inside their mind as if looking at nothing but observing everything. I couldn't take my eyes off this little girl as she held a big chocolate ice cream. I only looked at her for a moment but it was enough for me to dive into the past, just when I would go with my siblings to buy…

About quails and plants <div class="text-justify"> Greetings reader friends, I hope to read you more often these days. Today I tell you about the evolution of my birds and plants. I have incubated 20 quail eggs of which 9 have hatched in perfect conditions and 3 have died for different reasons. They are already a week old and are very well-behaved. I started collecting eggs again for the next incubation which will be next Sunday. I will collect 20 eggs again and see how many…

My mind My mind is not what it used to be, I forget a lot where I put things. At times I have lost objects and I go in search of them. After a long fruitless search, I must say, I find the lost object right on my body, so close and yet so far away. Yes, many times I have lost my glasses, I have searched endlessly for them, and when I give up and calm the search I find it just hanging from me, or in my blouse. That's when I remember that's where I didn't look or search in…

Overweight, my biggest problem Greetings reading friends. Today I have come to write a little about my health progress. Some time ago I told you that I presented a syndrome with dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. I got sick to the point that I called a friend and fellow internist. He was at my house and checked my systems, even did an electrocardiogram, and found nothing to confirm my discomfort with any diagnosis. So we were just left with paroxysmal vertigo. He ordered blood…

Greetings to all Greetings friends of readcash. I have been a long time without sharing with you but I visit your posts every day and I like them. I like to read some of the posts but the time takes me space to stay more to leave my comments. Today I wanted to stop by to say hello, I realize that we are very few in these last days. When BCH is on the rise we all cheer up and think about those times when there was a bonanza and there were so many users encouraged to write.…

The 23rd birthday Greetings friends and readers of this friendly community. My son had a birthday, he was born on July 31st. This day was a Monday and I made him a small cake to celebrate his birthday with two of the people who work in my house and love him very much. It is a Monday work day and his friends could not come to his birthday. On Saturday I made him a small chocolate cake and we asked his friends to come and sing his birthday. They came here to the house and we…

Stories I wrote
My loneliness Greetings reader friends, today I have come with one of my imaginary stories. I thought it from a picture I have seen of a woman imprisoned in ancient times, where there was no freedom of creed or was beginning the liberation for that purpose ... Prayer is what keeps me alive, this confinement within four walls is a torment for any human being. My sin for being locked up is to profess my belief in God and for that, I receive the punishment of man. It happens…

Emotions on the surface Today I want to write about one of the saddest experiences of my life. For some of you who know me, you know that my profession is health care, so when there are needs of this nature in my relatives, it must touch in my heart to have to get involved with the illnesses of all of them. Today, the mother of my nephews and nieces got sick. My sister-in-law, the patient I am referring to, is already a widow, she is suffering from a terminal illness. We are…

Healthy changes in eating habits I don't usually criticize what others consume or drink. We are in a world where everyone chooses the life they want to lead and many times they take advice as insults or criticisms. Today I have come to tell you that now that I am 62 years old I have decided to modify some habits I had. I am not usually a person who takes medicines, I only take an analgesic once in a while when the pain is very strong or some other treatment of some sudden…

My 3 years in read cash Greetings my dear readers, when I came back to write here I realized that I already have 3 years on this platform. Time goes by and it doesn't seem that much time has passed because I remember my beginnings here. I had many stumbles and many punishments for that. Nothing stopped me and I continued throughout all this time I have been able to find some users among many that strengthened ties. Although time goes by, we continue the path together and it…

I am back again Greetings to my dear readers. It has been a while since I have been here to say hello and share with you. There are so many things and situations that I have been going through lately in these weeks or months of absence. I have been busy as always in multiple occupations but above all with my plants and my little birds. I tell you that I lost my beloved kitty Copito, it was very painful. He had an incrustation of a stone in his small ureter and the vet could…

Stopping by to say hello Greetings my reader friends. Lately, I have not been able to come as I would like and leave my cash gifts in the publications. Unfortunately, I ran out of tips to give and we get used to this platform always rewarding with comments and kindness to other users. That's why I go to the publication and I can only give a like and follow. Coupled with the change in my wallet is the fact that sometimes I don't have the same enthusiasm needed to write a post…

Great disappointment Greetings reader friends I have been absent for a few days but I have visited many interesting articles, without leaving my opinion, just reading. Until today I have decided to come with another of my publications of a personal nature. On another occasion, I had written something about this topic and today I have renewed my story for the platforms. Many years ago when I was still very young I lived an unpleasant experience that impacted me for the rest…

I'm a serial killer Dear readers my greetings to everyone in this great reading family. It so happens that I haven't written much these days. The truth is that I haven't felt motivated for writing on any of the platforms where I write. I'm not sad or discouraged, I just don't have the motivation to do what I've always done these past 5 years. Sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to. I have wanted to write daily but when I sit in front of my laptop I have…

News & politics
Living with respectable laws Today I am going to tell you my ideas about the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, and the implementation of his zero-tolerance policy for crime. This president and his ideas have been strongly questioned in all social networks, either speaking in favor and also against. We all know that we are people who like to express our opinions strongly and with conviction about things that surpass our understanding. I want to say that I do not know…

Dear Diary
A normal day at home Greetings reading friends. Today I tell you about what a normal day in my life is like. It's not that I'm bored but it is a chore to do the same thing every day. My life restarts in the morning when I wake up thanks to my cat who lies next to me and meows very quietly for me to get up and feed him. At 5 am. He gives me no respite, when he sees me move a little he already knows it's time for his meal. He has a finely tuned "biological clock". The first…

It is a very productive garden Greetings dear reader friends. Today I tell you that my plants in the garden are producing lots of fruit and I love that. The tomato plants have been ripening their tomatoes so I have not had the opportunity to buy tomatoes for my culinary preparations for several days. I have also been able to share with my friends. They planted a lot of chili bell pepper plants in my seedbed. Unintentionally all that I planted did not come up but in return,…

Dear Diary
A different day Hello reading friends. Today I want to tell you that I was at my niece's birthday, the youngest of the family and we went to a pool party. I had not been to the pool for many years. The nieces and nephews all enjoyed this outing including me, I participated in the swimming and they included me as a child in the piñata. I took out some candy because after the piñata hit and broke a little bit I got behind the birthday girl's dad and with my dress, I was able…

The Quail Entrepreneurship Greetings to all my reader friends, glad to see many of you back here. I was very sad yesterday when I wrote my little post but then when I saw back the little friend of all of us I was glad to see him and I am very grateful to him for his visit to my post. Friend @Telesfor is one of the most persistent and encouraging people here. He was always adding something from his personal tips every time I came. Maybe he understood why I didn't want to…

Remembering Greetings friends who frequent these pages. I never cease to feel a certain nostalgia when I come to write here. What was once so full of comrades now lacks so much. I have come on several occasions to read the publications of some who still come here but I do not leave proof of my presence and I have not taken the time to write again as I do now. And today I am writing to you because of a curious fact that has happened to me. In other times of bonanza, I saw…

A new interest Hello everyone, I hope you are well wherever you are today. I have come to tell you that I am venturing into a new Adventure... in raising quail for egg production. Yes, many years ago I had several quails that gave me eggs daily, I remembered them and I thought... why not raise some quails again? Why not breed some of them again? In December I bought half a dozen of them, 5 females and one male, supposedly. After a few weeks when I started to study the…

A flowering plant on the day of love This is the flower of Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana. It is a plant that I have found difficult to propagate and flower. Throwing out all my words this year all the plants of this Kalanchoe that I have planted have sprouted and also flowered. I like their bouquet of small red flowers. They stay open for a considerable time, every day more little flowers are added to the bouquet and then when they are all open they are a beautiful sight before my…

Psychology
My rational fears You ask me about my fears and I tell you that my fears throughout my life have been changing. I remember when I was an infant I was afraid of many insects and domestic animals. I learned to fear everything for no reason. It wasn't until I became an adult that I left many fears behind as I learned to face them and stop being afraid of them. But exactly I learned more to stop fearing insects and animals when I started writing on the platforms. When I got…
