This was Toy today.
I wake up in the middle of the night because Diesel, one of my GSDs, tends to dream, not your typical boof or twitch, but full-out running while lying on her side. Every night, 2, 3 minutes go by, day and night, and then it starts again.
Thing is, she can vacuum the shit out of the carpet and the dog kicks more up.

Anyway, I'm allergic to this kind of dust, like smoke, it's an irritant,  like the phone ringing in the middle of the night, "Who Died"? NOW I'm Wide Awake!!!
Anyway, before she changed the sheets, she decided to pull out the carpet, mind you, we have a solid memory foam King size mattress, over 100lbs.
Still, she got it out, all the while yelling at Cedar, the new puppy, the sweat, dust, and her temper increasing with every tug.

Sadly, I can't help her due to my health being shit. I finally intervened and asked if I could lie down, she said "FINE". :biggrin:
I slept a couple of hours, came out a little better. When she said thanks, I needed to stop before I killed myself.

My wife takes really good care of me. :wub:

Gusta mi magla - Serbia (Slava I) - track used in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt by PERCIVAL

Thanks! They sound great, and also it is a traditional Serbian song from Kosovo. :smile:

Here is another traditional Serbian song from Kosovo. I found this Greek musician and singer just yesterday, Youtube channel name Farya Faraji, and he's fantastic. He sings music from various different cultures in traditional way, using traditional instruments. And, being Greek, his Serbian is surprisingly perfect. :cool:

I'll copy his description of the video.

Vocals and arrangement by Farya Faraji. With this one, much like with Dzino Dzino, I wanted to capture the sound of the Balkans between the 16th to 19th centuries. During this period, the use of the Šargija was much more widespread; it is a family instrument closely related to the Saz family of Turkish music, and usually accepted as being descended from the latter. In this arrangement, I studied the sound of different Šargija instruments from Serbian and Bulgarian music, and settled on using my kopuz, which, I believe, produces a sound identical to many recordings, probably due to its very similar build and common roots. The other instrument accompanying the piece is the kaval, the ubiquitous flute of the Balkans. In terms of vocals, I used the typical forms of Balkan polyphony in which a second voice accompanies the main vocals by providing drone notes that are sustained for most of the melody, and only change at critical points of the melody. I also tried capturing the vocal techniques of Balkanic singing, such as the "goat vibrato" where singers rapidly vibrate their throats, a technique commonly used by Serbian guslars.


Oh, rose ruddy

Oh, rose ruddy,
why have you blossomed so early?

You blossomed too early,
why have you, my rose, dropped your head?

My dear has gone,
he's gone far away from me.

For three high mountains,
for three deep rivers.

He will not come back to me,
nor after 2, nor after 3 years...

To get this bill passed so early in Trump's term is very important. It is clear the democrats are going to make the bill their cornerstone of the 2026 mid terms. By passing the bill its benefits will be well known by the mid terms.

I suggest Trump just sit back and the let the bill take effect. No need for him to keep selling. It will sell itself.

LOL! So the Rabi was totally honest?
It all makes sense, these were heretical Jooos, a term yet entered into the verbiage for centuries to come, but none the less, the Jews were also despised by their own people of the time.

Vox Day introduced me to Michael Hudson. His book ...and forgive them their debts: Lending, Foreclosure and Redemption From Bronze Age Finance to the Jubilee Year
goes into how the Babylonians used to forgive consumer debts. The original Lords prayer called for this.
