Strange Phenomena

Some mysteries cannot be explained. Are they myths, magic, our imagination, or real?

There are harbingers of misfortune…
Red moons, blue moons, two suns in the sky, rivers will run dry, famines, disasters, food will lose its nutritional value, weather will be out of its usual pattern, foretold and predicted, tsunamis.

Garfunkel & Garfunkel - Blue Moon

Who built Stonehenge, the Pyramids, and Haggar Qim, one of the oldest temples in the world? Does the Loch Ness Monster really exist? Why are many of these sites linked by ley lines across the world?

This is the skull of a Frill shark, the prototype of the first shark ever…meet prehistoric Anna, given to me when I catalogued shells for a friend. Only three have ever be found. Our earth was roamed by strange monsters, gigantic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex. Hairy mammals, once upon a time. Dinosaurs had two brains, one in its head, one in its tail, connected by a central nervous system. Jellyfish don’t have brains at all.

There are miracles, unexplained. Do you believe?

There are ghosts, ghouls, succubus, incubus,and strange sightings of vampires, and sea monsters.

The Fall - There's a Ghost in My House

Spinal Tap - Spontaneous Combustion

Sons of Legion - Strange

There are pink lakes,and ancient ruins.

Some places like Pamakule, it is magnificent…Turkey

There is also a planet made of solid diamond, and strange uninhabitable planets in our universe, black holes, and wormholes.

Do you believe in Strange visions? Have you experienced any strange phenomena? Do you believe in the unexplained? Why do planes and ships disappear in the Bermuda Triangle?

Enjoy our discussion, music and chat. Please steer clear of politics and strong religious views.

One Pill Makes You Larger, And One Pill Makes You Smaller

Are we going down a rabbit hole?

This is madness!

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

My goodness, they can get YouTube.

Is there really a pill for everything? I really doubt it! Yet some have such great faith in pills and potions.
And yet, I take supplements every day. I will rattle soon.
But avoid many prescription drugs.
I find doctors where I live are shocked when I list my supplements.

Invariably, I leave with a prescription I have no intention of even taking.
I believe in natural remedies and have done so since my early twenties, when I took homoeopathic medicine, as well as Bach’s flower remedies. Natural is preferable.

My watch is nine carrot. All organic.

I must hurry to the pharmacy, I’m late for my pills.

I was told to take one aspirin a day. I told my doctor that aspirin was made from willow bark. He had no idea.
I also like Arnica, Witch Hazel and Aloe vera in stock. My doctor had never heard of them and looked on his computer…My God, he said, they are all plants.
Aloe vera grows wild here. I often cut the leaves and use the pulp. Equally the white may be scraped from a banana peel and used as a pain killer on the skin or for a poultice.

My back is painful these days, but I was shocked and disgusted to receive a prescription for epilepsy tablets to block a particular area of the brain for pain. The side effects appeared to be the worst nightmare: fits, forgetfulness, and possible black outs…no thanks!

I was not shocked that doctors receive a commission for the recommended drugs that they so readily prescribe.

Sharon Osborne took Ozempic

Terrible side effects.

Sometimes, in our bus station, I see young men on the Zombie drug; the side effects can be amputation of their limbs or a heart attack.

Drugs were around in the sixties, and LSD was the most dangerous, but many smoked cannabis. It’s now legal. A few shops have sprung up here.

The Searchers - Love Potion Number Nine

The Rolling Stones - Mother’s Little Helper

LSD - Genius (ft. Sia, Diplo, Labrinth)

Alcohol is also a drug for some.

We also have the dangers of additives to some foods and hidden ingredients.
Silicon to spreads, stabilisers, and gluten. Then there are plastic particles, and crop spraying.

Do you agree that we aren't aware of many side effects in prescription drugs or even warned?
Do you consider the dangers? Do you restrict your diet or eat what you want?

I now consider my diet with the freshest fruit and veg if available. But I live on an island, so we import a lot, and food is expensive.

Please enjoy music, memes, gifs, trailers, and chatting with friends.

Interesting Stories In Songs

Princess Diana became the People’s Princess because she bonded with all types of people, and because her title was taken away.
Lady in Red was played when she became the people’s Princess.

Chris De Burgh - Lady In Red

There had never been anyone like Diana in the Royal family.

Strange that her life became intertwined with tragedy just as that of Marilyn Monroe.
The link was not only two beautiful women with tragic deaths but Elton John originally wrote candle in the wind for Marilyn. Candle in the Wind was played at Diana’s funeral…Elton John said he could not possibly write a song in a week….Both deaths rippled in Public and were beyond sad.

Marilyn was just amazing and iconic.

Marilyn’s ‘Happy Birthday’ rendition for JFK became iconic…apparently she had fallen in love with Kennedy, but he married Jaqueline, so the story goes.

Marilyn Monroe Sings Happy Birthday Mr. President to JFK | Netflix

Most songs that tell a story are about sad lives. Starry Starry Nights was about Van Gogh, who was tormented his whole life, yet produced masterpieces.

Don McLean - Vincent (Starry, Starry Nights)

As Time goes by from Casablanca, still a favorite, as is the movie Casablanca.

Casablanca (1942): Play it Sam, Play As Time Goes By. Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Sinatra sings

A story of unrequited love

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the Titanic music are both about the loss of lives in shipwrecks.
The Titanic was considered unsinkable…only recently have many treasures from the Titanic been brought to the surface of the sea.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

Steve Miller Band - Take The Money And Run

What stories to music touched your hearts, or poetry?
Amadeus was also a brilliant movie full of amazing music.

It’s a great subject, so chat with friends and enjoy the company on LFE.
Remember, respect all here, and this is not the place for many religious topics or politics.
So Enjoy

The Law Is An Ass???

Have you been to court? Do you believe in justice through a court?
Are you afraid of courts?
Do the police uphold the law in your opinion?
Have you ever been bullied in a police station?

On my birthday one year, my front door was broken down at 5 am by the police. I was arrested for a crime that I did not commit. A confession was written for me to sign at a police station. I was bullied and thrown into a cell.
I was kept on police bail waiting for forensics on my clothes, shoes, and paint pots. A place had had paint thrown over it during a burglary. I was told the paint brands were identical in composition and matched. Fortunately, as an artist, I mix my own paint colours, and it was clear that my paint was of a different format. I was also told I had got up the nose of the police!!!! I was not cooperative and had not signed the confession. I told the policeman, ‘he had written the confession, and as he had written it! He should sign it!’ I was told to stuff it up my….
I was refused a call to my lawyer. When I arrived home, my front door had been repaired.
I called at a friend’s house, as I didn't have money with me. She made me breakfast and drove me home, late afternoon. My apartment had been wrecked.

I was also informed… if I had not been articulate and white, I could have ended up in prison. Also, I had extremely good contacts whom I could trust, and the police melted away in a sheepish fashion. What a disgrace! Some who are there to uphold the law!
It was an unpleasant six months, as I was held on police bail for six months.

I then appeared on a TV program, ‘Do We Trust The Police’, and my answer was a resounding NO!

I then became quite political and won lots of cases, helping others. Not all crime-orientated. I enjoyed the challenges. I was also on jury service for a murder trial.

I have been the ‘Star’ of a few police stations, and a journalist friend of mine was murdered for uncovering political corruption. The publicity became worldwide through the work of another country’s journalists.

I would like to believe the courts and police are fair, but I am afraid I have seen many injustices.
I then threw myself into work and became successful beyond my dreams.
