In this episode, Phil reflects on his 2018 blog post 'Finding Pinecones,' emphasizing the significance of small moments in learning and connection. He shares a personal story about a child's unexpected favorite camp memory and discusses the impact of unplanned interactions during a training session with students from Iraq. Phil offers practical strategies for facilitators to enhance group dynamics, such as sharing meals, encouraging questions, and adapting to the group's needs. He concludes by highlighting the importance of flexibility in facilitation and the value of recognizing those small, impactful moments. The small moments often have a bigger impact than we think. Unplanned interactions can lead to significant learning experiences. Eating meals together fosters connection and openness. Creating opportunities for questions enhances engagement. Flexibility in facilitation is crucial for meeting group needs. Listening to participants can reveal their true interests. Building relationships is key to effective group dynamics. Recognizing the value of simple moments can enrich experiences. Facilitators should be prepared to adapt their plans. Finding 'pinecones' can lead to unexpected insights.

This week Ben and Norah contemplate the questions “are you… or have you ever been…,” but first they talk about what they have been up to. Surprising nobody, Norah has been watching plays and Ben has been (GASP!) playing his PS5. After the definition ceremonies they discover that they each have very different first thoughts, but they both agree that experience can be vastly different for an individual. They take a detour through the philosophical before moving on to games. Finally, Ben talks about the origin of experience points in games, how video games utilize XP, and a few terms for Norah to add to her gamer glossary. 00:00:20 - 1 word, 2 hosts, stories, trivia, mumbo-jumbo, beige, and Futurama 00:02:20 - The Stratford Shakespeare Festival, sacking creative directors, and critiques 00:05:01 - Taking pills, Little Women, Little Richard the Second, and a Wrinkle in Time 00:07:30 - American Players Theater in Spring Green Wisconsin, and Frank Lloyd Wright 00:09:02 - Ben finished Deathloop and started on Ghostwire Tokyo and Ridiculous Fishing EX 00:11:52 - Presenting the definition and origin: Norah takes the noun and Ben takes the verb 00:15:02 - Jimi Hendrix and generational perspectives on playing the Star Spangled Banner 00:18:38 - The Isley Brothers, and what does the song “Are you experienced” mean? 00:21:37 - One of Ben's favorite movies “Brainstorm,” and a spoiler alert for a 40 year old film 00:25:15 - Recording brainwaves, drawing parallels to VR, and Norah is older than Ben 00:28:39 - Pinecones, too many variables, comprehensive Wikipedia articles, and webs 00:31:18 - “If there was a way you could experience something in a virtual environment…” 00:35:27 - Adrenalin, internalizing, a trip to Lithuania, food based profiling, and phrases 00:40:20 - A philosophical question, the senses, acquiring experience in games, and XP 00:43:04 - A “Dungeons & Dragons” origin, and experience points in roleplaying games 00:45:17 - Gaining experience points in “Ghostwire: Tokyo,” and Norah grasps the concept 00:48:00 - Types of XP growth progressions, eating, grinding, power-leveling, and a respec 00:53:42 - Do we want games to present realistic ways of gaining experience? 00:57:22 - Expectations, perceptions, perspectives on video games experience, and balance 01:01:35 - Vaguely putting a bow on the experience show… sort of!

We have all probably interacted with pine cones in some way, whether we collected them to start a bon fire, rolled them in peanut butter to create a bird feeder, or avoided them during pollen season.

This week, Its Easter. Matt dsicovers Meatballs, Juice eats pinecones for fun, Carl tells a joke, and Anthony brings a dog.
Sure, Ghost of a Tale is the first game on Stealth Boom Boom that launched via Steam Early Access, but it's also the first game we've looked at that was made by a former Dreamworks animator. Both equally as important.On this episode, we chat about the successful IndieGoGo campaign that developer SeithCG ran, we discuss the indie-ness of Ghost of a Tale, and we chat about Lionel Gallat's reasons for leaving the animated movie business. When it comes to stealth, we chat about how easily guards give up the chase, and how one outfit kills your sneaky funtimes. When it comes to the boom boom, the conversation turns to how RPGish this game really is, plus the pinecones... man, those pinecones. And, of course, there's some time to chat about how incredible this game looks, because my god does it look incredible.Colm tests the gaming knowledge of Adam and Josh in another round of Trivia Espionage Action and then the lads give their final verdict on whether Ghost of a Tale is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those that would like to play along at home, we'll be reviewing Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS
This week's episode is about the secret life of pinecones and cones- the fascinating fruits of conifers. We chat about the ingenious design of the encasement of woody cones and how they pollinate and protect seeds. Then wrap up with a reflection on native Rhododendrons (Rhododendron maximum) we came upon on our way to Blue Mountain Lake, part of the Delaware Water Gap Recreational Area. And, a personal note about Jolee, our rescue dog, and kind passersby who expressed concern seeing me walking without her, demonstrating the difference we can make by recognizing when something or someone is not the same.Link to Related Stories:The Hidden Life of Pinecones Native RhododendronsFlora & Reflections from Blue MountainRepurposing Christmas Trees – including using them to feed the birds. ***I'd love to hear about your garden and nature stories.

00:00 Intro song: Focusing by Cushy. Introducing Maria from "Successfully Chaotic." Tina Marie provides a super random quiz. The panel jumps in on how they feel it's wrong to hit people. Somebody sings "The Clean Up Song" from Barney and a seemingly perverted comment ensues. Older kids vs. younger kids are discussed. 05:15 Should you allow your child to watch R-rated movies? Which panelist was banned from watching "Scary Movie 3"? RedBox gets called "wack." Which panelists had a "taint-fest" at age 15? Our "Lonely and Sleep Deprived" episode is referenced. BEWARE THE DANGERS OF RAMEN NOODLES! Do you have snack rules before bed time? Rob believes it's ok to have pretzel sticks before bed. Maria is a "helicopter mom" and the term "airplane dad" is created. Somebody gets falsely accused of using the wrong adjective. Tina says the word "buddy" three times which is very unlike her. 10:30 It is clarified that Maria knows how to read, but is her husband illiterate? Is it ok to throw children across the room? Is it appropriate parenting to make children work for their toys? Somebody explains that their dad paid them generously as a child to pick up pinecones. $10 per pinecone in fact and they sadly only managed to pick up a lifetime total of five. Pinecones are very scary apparently. 16:05 What is the main goal of parenting? The panel is collectively labeled as "best friend parents." Maria refers to her first-born as a "guinea pig child" and she touches on her learning experiences. The panel gets into the psychology behind childhood development. 19:20 Everyone agrees that autism should be referred to as a language barrier instead of a disability. Maria talks about her rewarding experience she's had raising her son, who has autism, and how he's helped her grow as a person. She recalls an encounter with an old man that shamed her in public after her son had an episode and explains how emotionally crushing that was for her. 22:45 Tina Marie defends crying babies on planes and condemns the adults that end up crying on the plane as a result. Tina Marie pulls up some text messages from boredpanda.com revealing a few cringy, shameful parenting moments. Rob tops it off with what he believes to be a horrible impersonation of a certain mother. Are Pokemon cards demon cards? The four official parenting styles are discussed in depth. The panel philosophizes about the legitimacy of these parenting techniques and tell personal stories throughout. 31:30 Tina Marie turns it up a notch in the way she questions the validity of these parenting styles. Rob questions Tina's questioning on the matter but they decide not to argue about it. Maria sides with Tina and explains how her parenting changes depending on the day and all of the different variables to take into consideration. 35:00 The "Freestyle" parenting technique is created by the ladies and is dubbed the only valid parenting style. It is unanimously decided that being a parent is a role, not an identity, and Rob links this to his family. "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman is incorporated into parenting. The panel reveals what their love languages are and the most common one is also revealed. 42:10 The Psyche-Delic Podcast is VERY excited to reveal a new permanent panel member who will be making their debut on their next episode!

First the garbage pincher, next I'm running for my life from a group of boys.
This week we're excited to welcome genre-bending author Keith Rosson to the show to discuss his latest novel, Road Seven, which is out now through Meerkat Press. Rosson's work is an impressive melting pot of genres and styles that defy easy classification, but his unique and imaginative voice is present in all of them, creating gripping reads that are compulsively readable. If you're new to Rosson's work, check out his story "Their Souls Climb the Room" for free on Ink Heist. Throughout the course of the episode, we talked about Road Seven, blending genres, writing broken characters, his design work, and so much more. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!
In this episode Phil reads a blog he wrote back in 2018 titled "Finding Pinecones" which highlights the importance of being flexible with your agenda, reading your group's needs and enjoying the small moments.
Chapter Twelve: 2005-2007 Months 209-231 “What’s this scumbag here for?” The guard on duty barks as we enter the closed corridor inside the Special Housing Unit. Since he doesn’t know me I surmise that his obvious contempt extends to all prisoners. I stand silently, both hands still locked behind my back. “One for SHU. Captain’s orders.” The transporting guard uncuffs me and walks away. “Strip!” The SHU guard commands. I unbutton and remove my green shirt, then I pull my t-shirt over my head and drop it on the floor. The guard stands close, too close, staring as I take off my sneakers, my pants, my underwear, and my socks. “Take everything off.” I stand in front of him, naked, and I unfasten the rubber wristband of my Timex wristwatch, dropping the watch into his outstretched hand. “Give me the ring.” “I don’t have to give you my ring.” “What did you say, Inmate?” He takes a step closer and his breath hits my face. I hold up my left hand. “This is a silver wedding band, without stones. BOP policy says I can wear it at all times.” The guard takes off his glasses, closes them and slides them into his shirt pocket. He inches closer to me. “You tellin’ me how to run my institution, scumbag?” “I’m not resisting you. Call the lieutenant. He’ll know the policy.” “I’m in charge here.” The guard balls his fists, wanting to fight. “Either take the ring off, or I’m gonna take it off. It’s not coming into my unit.” Standing naked, I’m not in a position to argue for my rights. This guard thirsts for a violent confrontation, and if it comes to that, I lose. With the length of time I’ve served, I’m conditioned to accept that guards routinely cite their mantra about preserving security of the institution while they violate both human rights and civil rights. Despite the promise I made to Carole about never taking it off, I slide the band off my finger and I hand it to the guard. He steps back, puts his glasses back on, and then he continues the search. The guard issues me a green jumpsuit and a bedroll. We walk down the cellblock. When he unlocks the metal door I see three prisoners inside. Rollo, a young prisoner, is on the top rack. He caused a stir at the camp several months ago when he decided that he’d had enough of confinement and walked away. Pueblo is on the lower rack, locked in SHU two months ago for fighting. Jerome sits on the floor in SHU because the guard in food services caught him going through the food line twice on hamburger day. I drop my bedroll on the floor for a cushion, and I lean my back against the wall, bending my knees to prop my feet against the steel toilet. “What’d they get you for?” Rollo asks from his rack. “Embezzlement. They say I transferred a million dollars from the prison’s bank account to my wife’s account.” “No way! Really?” Rollo would believe me if I’d told him I was locked in the SHU for not putting my napkin in my lap. He’s totally gullible. “I don’t know why I’m here. They just locked me up,” I admit and shrug. “Ay Rollo you so stupid, you believe anything.” Pueblo whacks him with his pillow from the lower rack. “It could happen!” Rollo defends himself. “Ain’t you never seen The Shawshank Redemption, Homie?” “Dat shit was a bad-ass flick,” Jerome says. “Rollo,” I ask. “Why did you walk away from the camp?” “I missed my ol’ lady.” “When he done showed up at her door, da bitch done called da FBI on his stupid ass,” Jerome says, finishing Rollo’s explanation. “Is that what happened?” I ask Rollo. He nods his head and laughs. “I’m facing five more years for escape.” “What were you serving before?” I ask him. “Twenty-two months for credit card fraud.” “You’ll probably get another year. You can use the time for school,” I say. “That fool ain’t goin’ to no school.” Pueblo says. “He can’t even play no cards.” I spend the entire day on the floor of the crowded cell, which won’t allow for Pueblo or Rollo to step off their bunks. When someone has to use the toilet or sink, I stand in the corner. Exercise isn’t an option here, and with the back and forth chatter, reading or writing will have to wait. In the evening, a guard unlocks the door and tosses me a sleeping mat. I slide it under the steel rack, then carefully crawl under the bed, head first, and I lie still. Pueblo’s steel rack is only inches above me, too close for me to turn on my side. I sleep lying on my stomach, using my crossed arms as a pillow. “Santos! Roll up!” I haven’t been asleep for long when I hear the guard kicking the metal door. He unlocks the door and opens it. I crawl out from under the bed, careful not to step on Jerome. The guard cuffs my hands behind my back and leads me out. I don’t ask questions and he doesn’t offer explanations. I strip, toss my jumpsuit into a bin and I stand for the search, eager to move out. “What size?” The guard asks. “Two-X,” I say. He tosses a roll of traveling khakis. After I’m cuffed and chained, I join a group of other prisoners and we climb into an idling bus. The sky is still dark. We drive through the gates and join a convoy of three other buses, two carrying prisoners from the Florence penitentiary and one from the ADX. As the buses turn right, leaving the Florence Correctional Complex behind, I look through the tinted windows and wonder where Carole lives. The house she rents is only two miles from the prison, she told me, but I don’t know where. The bus moves past the dark cross streets too fast for me to see her car parked in a driveway. No matter. It’s before dawn and she’s asleep, oblivious to a new uprooting of our lives. ******* I have a window seat as the plane takes off. I expect to sleep in the Oklahoma Transit Center again tonight and wonder whether I’ll see the Native American guard. I count how many times I’ve been on prison transport planes, and come up with 12, explaining why some of the U.S. marshals look familiar. I notice graying hair and new wrinkles in weathered faces; over the past 18 years I’ve flown with them throughout their careers. We’ve been in the air a few hours when my ears pop and my stomach lurches. While we’re descending, I glance out from the tiny window. As our plane approaches the landing strip, I see evergreen trees that surround a lake I recognize. We’re approaching Seattle, the city where Carole and I grew up, where Julie and her family still live. Carole and I may have grown up here, but it’s no longer home. We’re nomads, a prison family. The plane lands at Boeing Field, right beside Interstate 5. I look outside and spot guards and marshals surrounding the plane for the prisoner exchange. I wish they would call my name, as I’d like to walk on Seattle ground again. I may be in chains, but I’m breathing the same air my sister breathes, though she doesn’t know I’m here. Even my wife doesn’t know where I am. After an hour we’re airborne again and I take a last look out the window. It’s 2005, probably eight more years before I’ll see the Seattle skyline again. The Emerald City fades away as the plane banks and climbs higher. In eight years I don’t know where Carole and I will make our home. We may want to make a start in a new city, or even a new country. I see Oklahoma City again as the plane taxis. It’s my fifth time here and I know the routine. Hobbling in my chains, I’m eager to fill out the forms and turn them in. The sooner processing begins, the sooner I’ll find out where I’m going. “Do you know where you’re going?” the woman in uniform asks. I shake my head “no,” and pass her my intake forms. “Santos, Michael,” she says and moves her forefinger down the list of names on her computer printout. “Big Spring, Texas,” she says, and my heart sinks. “No, wait, you’ve been re-designated. You’re going to Lompoc Camp.” ******* Among prisoners, Lompoc Camp on the Central Coast of California has a reputation of being the crown jewel of the federal prison system. For years I’ve heard that administrators reserved Lompoc Camp for politicians who’ve run afoul of the law and for powerful white-collar offenders. Traveling by bus up the Pacific Coast Highway, with the salty smell of the ocean filling my lungs, invokes pleasurable childhood memories of visiting my grandparents in Los Angeles while on summer vacations. I remember swimming with my sisters at different California beaches, jumping into the waves that roll endlessly onto the shoreline. As I look at the ocean, I try to remember the sensation of floating in water. I contemplate what it might feel like to submerge my body. For 18 years the only water I’ve felt has sprayed from a spigot. I can’t remember the sensation of buoyancy. In eight years Carole and I will bathe together and we’ll swim in that ocean. Klein Boulevard, the long thoroughfare leading into the Lompoc Federal Correctional Complex, is a crumbling asphalt road riddled with potholes. On my right is the fenced boundary of the medium-security prison, and on my left is the low-security prison. As the bus lurches along the dilapidated road toward the camp, prisoners in green uniforms walk freely on scenic trails winding between tall eucalyptus trees that fragrantly scent the air. I appreciate the natural beauty. After six hours of processing, guards hand us our ID cards and bedrolls. I join four other prisoners walking outside the gates from the Receiving and Discharge building in the higher-security prison. Walking ahead of the crowd, I pass the field where a group of prisoners play soccer. Further down the road several men pump iron at the camp’s weight pile. Pinecones that fall from the trees litter the path I’m on. The housing unit resembles a steel, prefabricated warehouse, and the laid back guard inside looks more like a member of ZZ Top, with his long beard, black sunglasses, heavy silver rings with Gothic designs. Tattoos of double lightning bolts, flames, skulls, and cross bones cover his forearms. He’s in a messy office, holding a Maxim magazine with a young woman in panties, sucking a lollipop, on the cover. He's leaning back in his chair, with crossed legs and heavy black leather boots resting casually on a gray metal desk. I stand in front of him with my bedroll and the other new prisoners begin to crowd into the office, lining up behind me. The guard ignores us while flipping the pages of his magazine. Green canvas duffle bags are scattered on the scuffed and dingy tile floors. A desk fan blows and a radio broadcasts hardcore rap music by Tupac. “Wazzup?” The guard finally lowers his magazine. I give him my ID card and the other prisoners follow my lead. “You guys the fresh meat?” he asks, turning down the volume of the radio. We stand still, waiting as the guard sorts through index cards. He then pulls his feet from the desk and stands. “Follow me,” he says. We follow him out of the office and down the narrow hall to the right. It empties into an open space as large as a private airplane hangar. For the crown jewel of the BOP, it’s mighty tarnished. Six columns of gray metal bunks, 30 rows deep, fill the immense room. The noisy, crowded accommodations have a putrid stench. I follow the guard as he leads us down the center aisle and taps the fourth bed in column four. “Santos. This is you.” He keeps walking with the others. I put down my belongings and prepare to settle in. ******* “Santos!” I hear the loudspeaker. “Inmate Michael Santos. Number 16377-004. Report to the administration building. Immediately!” Not again, I groan inwardly. I’ve only been at Lompoc Camp for a day and I’m already being paged. I walk the short distance for yet another confrontation with BOP administrators. As I pass by a sparkling white Dodge Intrepid sedan with darkly tinted windows and three small antennae sticking out of the car’s rear end, I assume it’s from the fleet of the Federal Correctional Complex security force. A closer look at the elaborate communication system inside the car confirms my suspicions. Someone is here to interrogate me. Through the smoked glass of the building’s front door sits a receptionist. I knock, waiting for her to acknowledge me before opening the door. I’ve heard other prisoners refer to her as “the dragon lady,” so I don’t open the door until she indicates it’s okay. It’s a standoff, but I’m prepared to wait all day. I prefer the wait to being scolded and bullied. After several minutes, she grasps that I’m not going to open the door, and I’m not going to knock again. She looks up, annoyed, and motions me in. “I’m Michael Santos.” I present my ID card. “I heard a page to the administration building.” Before she can answer, a stocky man with a chiseled face and a military-style crew cut steps into the doorway of the conference room. He’s wearing a heavily starched BOP uniform. “I paged you, come in.” He directs me to a chair at the side of the table. “Sit down. Do you know who I am?” “No.” I shake my head. “I’m Lieutenant Merkle. Special Investigative Services.” He opens a burgundy leather portfolio on the table. “It’s generally not a good sign when I call an inmate for a meeting.” “I’m familiar with the role of the SIS.” These guards can’t intimidate me. “I’m sure you are.” The room is quiet as he flips through his papers. “So you’re the writer. Do you know why you’re here?” “Yes, I do.” I nod my head. “And what’s your interpretation?” “When I was in my early 20s, I sold cocaine. I’ve been a prisoner since then, and as a prisoner I’m susceptible to these kinds of summons.” The lieutenant glances up at me. “So you’re a wise guy?” “Not at all. That’s why I’m here. If I hadn’t sold cocaine, we wouldn’t be talking right now.” He stares at me. “But you did sell cocaine. Now you’re an inmate in my institution.” He pulls out a page from his portfolio. “I received a letter from Lieutenant Knowles, SIS at Florence.” “Okay.” “You were transferred here administratively because your writing presented a threat to the security of that institution.” “How so?” “It doesn’t matter. Point is, you’re in my institution now and I’m here to give you notice. If you write anything that threatens the security of my institution, I’m not going to transfer you. Instead, I’ll bury you so deep in the SHU that no one will ever find you. Do you understand that?” “What do you consider a threat to the security of the institution?” “You’re a wise guy, you figure it out. But if I lock you up for an investigation, you won’t have access to telephone, mail, or visits. Do you understand?” “For what, though?” I gesture with open hands. “I’ve never written a sentence that threatened security. All my work urges people to act responsibly and to lead law-abiding lives. I live by that rule. Why would you consider my writing a threat?” “I ask the questions. I don’t answer them,” the lieutenant snaps, closing his file. “Can I ask if you’re placing me on mail-monitoring status?” “Inmate Santos, you’re starting here with a clean slate, no mail monitoring, no restrictions. Don’t threaten security in my institution and you won’t have any problems. If you see me again, it won’t be good for you.” “One more thing, Lieutenant. While I was in Florence I wrote a book about what I’ve observed in prison. St. Martin’s Press has the manuscript and intends to publish it in 2006. Is that book going to be a problem?” He rubs his chin. “We’ll visit that issue when the book comes out.”

We’ve reached Episode 10! This week, I chat with Chris Binnie about his son Henry, a dad’s perspective on loss, grief and pregnancy after loss and how health care professionals can support Dads better.Chris has so many words of wisdom particularly around things such as memory-making and society’s expectations of how men “should” grieve. While Chris is obviously talking from the perspective of a male parent, I’m sure some of what he says will also resonate with mums in a same-sex relationship who weren’t the parent carrying their baby.If you have a friend who is a midwife or doctor who comes across bereaved parents, I’d love it if you could share this episode with them. It definitely opened my eyes and made me think about things differently.In the interview we talk about:Chris’s experience of losing his first child, his son, Henry. (7:47)How midwives and other professionals can better support dads after loss and the importance of making memories vs being given memories. (20:57)Bottling up grief and how society’s expectations can affect how men grieve. (32:56)Chris’s experience of pregnancy after loss and the stress of a complicated pregnancy, premature twins and parenting living babies. (41:35)Pinecones, Beyond Bea and why he chose to speak out about his experiences of baby loss. (54:05)You can find Chris on Instagram @pine_cones_and_study_days – he’d love to hear from other dads who’ve been affected by baby loss.Find out more about Beyond Bea at https://www.beyondbea.co.uk/. The charity is also on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I’d also recommend listening to Episode 6 which is an interview with Beyond Bea’s founder, Steph Wild.If you enjoy the podcast, I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a review on your podcast app. You can connect with me on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/footprintsonourhearts/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/skyesfootprints) or email alison@footprintsonourhearts.com.

Are you starving yourself? Brandy Vencel wrote an article a few years ago that challenged parents to consider if they were starving their children's minds which made me consider, also, if I was starving my own mind. Mothers are commonly attributed with being self-sacrificing, but in terms of the mind, we must remember that we cannot pour out from an empty well. I'm so excited to share Brandy's encouragement and challenge to mothers today to find a way to nurture your own mind for the sake of yourself and others. Think that's unrealistic? Don't have time? Don't worry, we cover all the why's and how's on the show. In this episode you'll hear: what the term "mother culture" means and why it's floating around the Charlotte Mason community how reading different levels of books can make reading happen for you this summer the difference between hard books and easy books and how to read light while avoiding twaddle how keeping your world "big" can keep your head above water when you're in the weeds of motherhood you'll also hear a bit lower quality on my end (because I forgot to have my husband set up my mic before he left for work and I muddled through set up on my own), my dog barking and my neighbor cutting his lawn...my apologies in advance for the distractions.

Today we are going to discuss several items that relate to rabbits and Christmas. The first item is a short story by Beatrix Potter that has accompanied illustrations in the show notes. A news article about The rabbits of Christmas past: A present that backfired for Australia. A nice set of treats you can make for your rabbit. We cover the topic of your Bunny and the Holidays. A Narragansett Legend of how Rabbit wishes for snow, which we have covered once before, but it is a fun story, and finally A Time for Giving. THE RABBIT'S CHRISTMAS PARTY by Beatrix Potter The rabbits arrive for the party. On a wet December day, the rabbits gathered for a Christmas party. Rabbits don't like rain, so they wore raincoats. One rabbit brought an umbrella. The room was decorated for Christmas with holly on the walls. When the rabbits sat down to eat, there were not enough chairs. So some rabbits sat on baskets. The rabbits sit down to eat. The rabbits dance a country jig. After dinner, the table was pushed aside, and the rabbits danced in a circle. One rabbit provided music by playing the pipe. When the piper became tired, the rabbits started a game of "Blind Man's Bluff." One rabbit would be blindfolded. Then that rabbit would try to tag the other rabbits. When a rabbit was tagged, he or she would be blindfolded and the game would start again. The rabbits play 'Blind Man's Bluff'. The rabbits roast apples for dessert. For dessert, the rabbits roasted apples. They tied apples to strings and hung them by the fire. The rabbit who watched them used a cabbage leaf to keep her face from getting too hot. After all of the food and exercise, some of the rabbits had trouble staying awake around the warm fireplace. After dessert, it was time to go. The rabbits found their coats by candlelight. Then they said goodbye all around before they set out. Time to Go. Now this story and information came from a website called family Christmas online, which we have a link to in the show notes. https://familychristmasonline.com/stories_other/potter/rabbits_christmas/rabbits_christmas.htm Beatrix Potter was born to a wealthy family in London, England in 1866. Supposedly tutored (but largely ignored) by her governess, she had many long hours to spend alone with a growing menagerie of pets, which she taught herself to draw in startlingly accurate detail and proportion. Her innate intelligence and ability to observe and document minute details of nature should have given her a scientific career, but Victorian England didn't even think women should have "their own" money or property, much less a career in a "man's world." In 1890, she began illustrating greeting cards, using her pet rabbits as models more often than not. In 1893, she began writing and illustrating her own children's books. In 1902 the first - Peter Rabbit - was published. The real history of the paintings is not clear, but they were never published in her lifetime. Perhaps that helped to preserve them, because in those days, the original paintings were often discarded (or taken home by employees) once they had guided the printers' efforts to make the color separations needed for printing. Four of the paintings are in a museum today, but the other two are in a private collection. When the US copyrights on most of Potter's work expired, a few book printers started including these six paintings in titles like "The Complete Peter Rabbit Collection," etc. Potter's original publisher then released images of the paintings in a "frieze", a long strip of paper you could unfold to view them all at once. Unfortunately it went out of print almost immediately and hasn't been reprinted. On the other hand, the images in the frieze look like they've been adapted for four-color printing the same way Potters' paintings adapted over a century ago - a process that reduced details and subtleties of shade. We are free to publish these paintings in this format in the United States because they are in public domain here. However, they are still be under copyright in other countries. If you live outside of the United States, please check the copyright laws of your country before downloading these images. Now when I was researching Rabbits and Christmas, I came across an article about rabbits from Christmas past. The rabbits of Christmas past: a present that backfired for Australia On Christmas Day 1859, the Victoria Acclimatization Society released 24 rabbits for hunting, to help settlers feel more at home. Given the millions of dollars in damage to agricultural productivity that ensued, as well as the impacts on biodiversity as the rabbits bred and spread to cover 70% of the continent, this could be seen as Australia’s worst Christmas present. Rabbits are well known for their ability to strip grasslands bare and destroy the seedlings of woody shrubs and trees. Even in low numbers, rabbits can completely prevent some important woody species from regenerating. Mulga woodlands, for example, cover vast tracts of inland Australia, and mulga trees are likely to be a very important carbon store in these areas. However, rabbit numbers as low as one animal per hectare can effectively stop the replacement of old trees by destroying seedlings. Importantly, much of the damage that rabbits cause to the environment can be reversed. http://theconversation.com/the-rabbits-of-christmas-past-a-present-that-backfired-for-australia-35544 Rabbit treats at Christmas Flex your creative skills and share the Christmas cheer with your furry friend this year. I will explain how to make three nutritious and delicious homemade bunny treats, perfect for the festive season. Like us, rabbits can become overweight and suffer from dental disease if they have too many treats. Excess sugars and starchy foods can also wreak havoc with the sensitive population of bacteria in their gut. Although we commonly think of rabbits munching on carrots, root vegetables like these have a high sugar content and, along with pieces of fruit, should only be given as an occasional treat – Christmas is just such a time! As Christmas approaches, why not involve your bunny in the season’s fun – homemade treats and presents are the perfect way to spread the festive spirit! And because they’re homemade you’ll know you’re giving him the healthiest treats possible. There seems to be bright lights and sparkly things everywhere, anyone would think it was almost Christmas or something! If it’s snuck up on you and the idea of braving the shops for last minute presents sends you into a panic, this is for you… The first one is a Hanging biscuit decoration These festive biscuits are delicious for your bunny. Take a handful of pellets, a handful of rolled oats, half a banana, half a courgette (which is also known as a zucchini) and half a small carrot. Finely grate the carrot and courgette/zucchini, chop up the banana, crush the pellets and mix it all together with the oats. Roll out the mix with a rolling pin and then cut out Christmas shapes with biscuit cutters. Poke a hole in the top of each – don’t forget this step if you want to hang them up – and bake on a low heat for a couple of hours until they are completely dry. Please remember to remove the ribbon, or swap it for something more bunny safe like sisal before letting your bun lose on them! Bunny crackers A quick, simple toy to occupy your bunny and make sure he eats his greens. Simply stuff a toilet roll tube with a few mixed handfuls of fresh hay and leafy greens, like spinach, sprout-tops or kale. Make sure the hay and greens are poking out of the ends, fluff them out and presto, a bunny cracker! Your rabbit will love rolling it around and poking out every last bit of goodness to eat. As well as meeting their basic nutritional requirements, nibbling hay keeps bunnies busy, chewing strengthens their teeth and jaws and it keeps their gut healthy, too. Giving a variety of greens every day also mimics the many different plants rabbits graze on in the wild. A mini Christmas tree With your tree out of bounds, give your bunny his own Christmas tree made of twigs of apple wood or willow, with ‘baubles’ made from chunks of apple or orange (not the peel) and small berries like blueberries. Bind the twigs together with string, stick the ‘trunk’ through a hole in a shoebox to keep it steady and thread the fruits onto the tree for your rabbit to find and enjoy. Once he’s eaten the fruit, your bunny can have hours of fun nibbling the twigs, which keep his teeth in good health, Remember that these are easy and inexpensive to make, healthier than most shop bought treats and make wonderfully tasty Christmas presents for your rabbit. Just take these instructions for making homemade rabbit treats and adjust the flavor to your rabbits taste. http://www.therabbithouse.com/blog/2011/12/21/minute-christmas-baking-rabbits/ https://www.petplan.co.uk/pet-information/rabbit/advice/seasons-eatings/ Your Bunny and the Holidays It's that time of the year again when the humans go a bit crazy, otherwise known as Christmas. We are going to make the most of the festive season, rabbit style... The festive season is perfect for spending time with your pet and providing him with some well-deserved treats and attention. To keep the holidays fun and trouble-free, keep plants out of your bunny’s reach; some can be toxic to rabbits. And if you have a house rabbit, remember to supervise him around the Christmas tree, wrappings and ribbons, low-lying human snacks and candles or open fires – these can all be hazardous to pets. We are going to find out how to stop your Christmas tree being chewed, how to manage guests unfamiliar with house bunnies, what foods should be kept out of reach and learn how to make sure you and your rabbit enjoy this special time together. It's holiday season again, a time of year that can be both fun and stressful for you and your rabbit. In the midst of all your holiday preparations, here a few tips to keep your bunny safe and happy over the holiday season. Christmas can be a time of mixed blessings for a house rabbit. On the one hand, there is the likelihood of more treats, attention and excitement; on the other hand, there is the risk of interruption to our sacred routine, naptimes and so on. Your home can change quite a bit during the Christmas holidays with the putting up of decorations and it’s likely you rabbit will want to explore these new things, typically by nibbling them. Unfortunately most Christmas decorations aren’t made with house rabbits in mind, so it’s important to add a little bit of bunny proofing to them to stop them being damages and make them safe. Plants & Christmas Trees Christmas trees are so great rabbit's don't understand why the humans don't have them all year round. What could be better for a house rabbit than a tree in your living room? Anyway, a rabbit gets the amusement of watching the humans trying to put the lights on (and try to protect the cables from your bunny friend). Here's the chance to have a helpful house bunny that nibbles on any branches within reach and generally tidying up the tree. Be aware of seasonal plants that are brought into the home. Christmas trees can be a real temptation for you rabbit. Make sure the tree is placed away from any object that can be climbed on to stop you rabbit reaching over to the tree. Check to see your tree is firmly secured and can’t be knocked or pulled over. It can often be best to fence off your tree with a pet pen to keep your bunny away from low hanging branches and present underneath. As well as the risk of knocking the tree over real fir trees can also be bad for rabbits if eaten. If you water your tree make sure the tree water is covered over as this can also dangerous as it may contain fertilizer and even aspirin used to keep the tree looking fresh. If your Christmas tree has not been treated (with fire retardant, pesticides, etc) or painted, then it should be safe to chew. Note that natural chemical compounds in some evergreens may cause the bunny's urine to turn more orange than usual, but this is not a health concern. Fir tree oils can irritate to the mouth and the tree needles can also cause digested problems. Plastic trees can also be a problem if eaten as the man made non-digestible materials can cause tummy upsets. Find a nice spot where you can all enjoy the tree but out of reach from a curious rabbit. Despite common perception, Poinsettia plants are not poisonous. That's not to say your bunny should eat them, since they can cause mild intestinal discomfort in some sensitive individuals. But they should not cause serious illness. Some holiday plants, such as holly, mistletoe and certain types of ivy, can be toxic. To be especially safe, keep ALL plants and fresh green decorations up and out of your bunny's reach. Put them in a room where your bunny doesn't usually romp, or place them high enough to be out of reach of little teeth. Make sure falling berry’s and leaves are in areas where they can’t fall in your bunnies path. Pinecones are generally safe distractions, and make festive bunny chew and throw toys at this time of year. Take a critical look at your tree before placing the ornaments and lights. Low hanging decorations could be inviting toys. On lower limbs, use safe plastic or wooden ornaments a rabbit can safely nibble, tug, or steal. Always supervise closely when bunny is loose around the tree. With pets in the past we have hung bells and jingling things down low on the tree as a first alert to trouble. Lights, Cords, Decorations Those of you who have Christmas trees also may also have extra electrical cords and lights, which bunnies can and will chew. If possible, put your Christmas tree in a room where Bunny doesn't play. If this isn't possible, you can make your tree "off limits" to your rabbit by placing a puppy pen around it, or you can use the pen to section off the part of the room where the tree is, keeping bunny safely away. This will help keep you and your rabbit safe from chewed electrical cords and preserve your favorite Christmas ornaments, as well. If you put up electrical decorations during this season, make sure the cords are well out of Bunny's reach. Plastic wire protectors may help slow down a curious bunny. However, the wire wrap will not necessarily prevent a determined rabbit from chewing through the plastic to the wires. So after wrapping the cords in the wire wrap, you should still tuck them out of rabbit reach. If you can’t hide the power cords you can cover them with something tough like plastic pipe, this can be split along its length and slipped over the cable so you don’t need to take the plug off. We have several tips for bunny proofing a house in the episode about house rabbits. I came across two news stories about rabbits eating lights for wires. WAKEFIELD, Mass. (WHDH) – A Wakefield family caught a rabbit chewing through his Christmas lights on his home surveillance video. Greg DiGiorgio said he spent 12 hours putting up his Christmas lights on Monday, only to find the wire had been clipped. Thinking he was being vandalized, DiGiorgio set up a surveillance camera to find out who put the lights out. Turns out, it was a hungry rabbit. “I was actually relieved. I was hoping there wasn’t some vandal going around Wakefield,” said Rachel DiGiorgio. The family has since moved the lights out of the rabbit’s reach. http://whdh.com/news/wakefield-family-finds-rabbit-chewing-through-christmas-lights/ NORTHWEST HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - A hidden camera sting caught more than a Cypress homeowner expected when he hoped to catch the vandal that kept cutting his Christmas lights. "We put up our Christmas lights right after Thanksgiving. After they were up a few days, we woke up and noticed they were cut," said Brett Mosser. For days, Mosser was under the impression that a grinch had made its way to his home and was cutting his Christmas lights. The homeowner even showed the local news pictures of his wife holding one of the snipped wires -- from the family's elaborate outdoor holiday display. "I repaired them, thinking it was a one time deal. But it kept happening. It happened five times in a week," said Mosser. Upset that someone could do something this ungodly, the church pastor enlisted the help of a friend because, he said, he was determined to catch the culprit. "We were setting up cameras and we weren't watching 20 or 30 minutes and we noticed something scurrying on the ground," said Mosser. The so-called vandal: a furry rabbit. "The best part of it, was this was, 'Oh good, this wasn't a human.' I had been thinking, 'Who could be this mean?'" said Mosser. A lesson, Mosser said, he didn't take for granted, especially because he knows that it's never good to make assumptions. "We were all determined to catch this person. and I think God has a sense of humor," said Mosser. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/harris-county/rabbit-busted-as-christmas-light-vandal- Now back to our tips about Lights, Cords, Decorations Be alert about synthetic tinsel and garland which, if ingested, could cause tummy trouble or impactions. And be conscious of potpourri. Some rabbits enjoy nibbling on it, and there's no telling what potentially harmful chemicals or preservatives might have been used in the potpourri you're using. Ornaments If your rabbit starts taking an interest in your Christmas decorations or ornaments its best to move these out of reach. They are often made of materials that can be easily ingested which can cause gastrointestinal problems. Even some of the more natural looking materials can be harmful as they can be treated with fire retardant materials. Place them on a shelf out of reach or on a table able before. Once your rabbits curiosity is sparked its likely they will keep returning no matter how many times you say NO! While wrapping and opening gifts, keep in mind that tape and ribbon are not good things for rabbits to eat, but they seem to be especially attractive playthings to some bunnies. As a substitute, give white tissue paper and you'll enjoy watching some happy playtime. 'Tis the season for candles and fireplaces. Keep the first high out of reach and the other enclosed so your bunny can't investigate too closely. Don’t place candles on anything that can be knocked over or on something that can be tugged at by your rabbit resulting in the candle toppling over. Even cold ashes can be harmful, as they are very caustic if combined with water (including saliva!). Be aware of low-lying candy, snack bowls, and gingerbread homes, or your buns will have a (potentially dangerous) feast on holiday treats. Coffee tables and end tables are usually low enough for a healthy bunny to easily hop up and partake of your festive offerings. Salty snacks are particularly risky, since a rabbit can actually ingest a fatal overdose of salt if she eats too much (e.g., chips, salted nuts, etc.) Company and the Hubbub of the Holidays Many families have friends and family members for short or long visits around this time of year. This will inevitably interrupt your rabbit's customary routine and atmosphere. If you have family members who don't understand house rabbits, make sure you take the time to prepare both your company and your rabbit for what to expect. This could be a great opportunity to educate your friends and family about rabbits and rabbit behavior. To reduce your rabbit's stress, try to stick as close as possible to her routine. Make sure you remember to give her plenty of attention and reassurance. If your bunny is particularly sensitive to noise and activity, you may even want to move her to a quieter room while your company is visiting. A big changes at Christmas can be people visiting your home who may not be used to house rabbits. It may be best to ask guests to take their shoes off as they may not be used to how rabbits tend to get under food and can easily be stepped on. If you have children staying, encourage them not to race around where your rabbit can roam. Don't be shy about laying down some ground rules for your company, especially if they include children. Never leave your rabbit unsupervised with a child. Small visitors may be tempted to chase, pick up, or inadvertently mishandle your bunny. It could take only a second for a potentially crippling or even fatal accident to occur at the hands of a well-meaning, but overly affectionate child. Uninitiated guests may not be used to how good rabbits are at chewing things so it’s important to give them somewhere to leave shoes, coats or handbags where they can’t be got at. Be careful to keep an eye on laptop or phone charger leads that may appear. It’s also worth re-enforcing to guests that may not be used to rabbits that it’s unlikely that your rabbit will want to play with them or their children. Help them understand rabbits are shy prey animals, which means they can be timid and skittish in some situations. Rabbits also have fragile bones and can be injured easily if handled improperly. Introduce the rabbit calmly and go through some simple rules at the start. Simple rules for rabbit safety: ⦁ Don’t shout or scream as loud noises can distress rabbits as they have sensitive ears. ⦁ Take their shoes off to the risk of stepping on your rabbit. ⦁ Only give your rabbit it’s normal food, don’t feed it sweets or chocolate. ⦁ Remember rabbits can scratch and bite when stressed so be careful. ⦁ Let your rabbit come to you, it may not like being picked up stroked or cuddled If you have guests who are particularly interested in visiting your rabbit, don't allow them to handle the bunny without first properly instructing them about safe handling. Let visitors know that a rabbit's digestive system is very delicate, and though she may be adorable when she sits up and begs for treats, that giving in and overfeeding her could be killing her with kindness. Many of the foods that we associate with Christmas can also be harmful if you rabbit eats them and special attention needs to be given to snacks left out by guests that are in reach. Sweets and chocolate that may be discarded by children could easily be stolen by your rabbit and many of the foods can be harmful to an unsuspecting bunny. Chocolate and sweets It’s important to keep chocolate out of reach of your rabbit. If your rabbit only eats a small piece then you could be lucky and no harm may come of it. But if your rabbit eats a large amount of chocolate, then this could be quite serious and result in an emergency visit to the vets. Sugary sweets are also bad for rabbits and if left out may cause harm, alongside this if the wrappers are eaten they can cause issues. Remember, what the humans fail to realize is that the best bit of presents for rabbits is helping them unwrap theirs. Acres and acres of wrapping paper to play with... Rabbits get excited just thinking about it. If your people parents tell you they can manage on their own, ignore them - we all know there's no better present opener than a set of rabbit teeth. Watch out for the sellotape though, that stuff can mess rabbit fur for days. With these precautions in mind, we wish you and your bunnies a fun-filled, joyous Holiday Season! http://www.rabbit.org/care/holidays.html http://bunnyproof.com/making-christmas-fun-safe-for-your-rabbit http://www.bunnyhugga.com/fun/how-to-train-your-humans-a-guide-for-rabbits/rabbits-and-christmas.html (A Narragansett Legend) Long in the way time past time, rabbits had very short ears. They had very long tails. They had long, straight arms and long, straight legs. Very different than the way rabbits look today. One day, Rabbit was out. It was spring-time. Looking for something to do, and something to eat, as rabbits are always looking for something to eat, he came upon a willow tree that had fresh little shoots in it. It made him so hungry. He wanted to go and taste some of those shoots but it was high up in the willow tree and you know yourselves that rabbits are not good tree climbers! So Rabbit decided to eat some of the grass and play around. But he thought to himself, “I would like to play in the snow.” He remembered that his grandmother told him that if you can wish for something hard enough it can happen. So Rabbit started to wish for it to snow and he started to dance. And he started singing his song, “Oh how I wish it would snow; Oh how I wish it would snow.” And as Rabbit danced and prayed and sung his song, it started to snow a little bit. Oh, this made Rabbit so happy that he sung his song stronger and harder. “Oh how I wish it would snow; Oh how I wish it would snow.” And the snow started to come down. And Rabbit was so excited to see that snow coming down that he sung his song stronger. “Oh how I wish it would snow; Oh how I wish it would snow.” And it started to snow so much. And because he wished for it to snow so much, the snow rose higher and higher until it rose high into that willow tree. And now Rabbit played in the snow, and now it was so high he could eat some of those fresh shoots that were in the willow tree. He filled his stomach. And now he wanted to go home, tired from all that dancing and eating. But when he looked, he saw that his home was covered with all that snow. Well, he decided he would rest in the crotch of the tree. And he fell asleep. He awoke the next morning and the sun had come out and melted all that snow away. Now, Rabbit was high up in that willow tree, wondering how he was ever going to get down. Because as you know yourselves, rabbits are not good tree climbers! So as he was holding onto those branches and looking and wondering how could he get down, how could he sing his song again, how could he make it snow? As he was leaning over, SNAP! His tail broke! And when his tail broke he went tumbling down out of that tree. And as he tumbled down out of that tree, his little short ears would get caught in the branches and stretch and stretch and pull and pull until they were as long as they are today! And when Rabbit fell out of that willow tree, he hit that ground so hard his long, straight arms shot into his body and became little, short arms just like they are today. And when that Rabbit fell out of that tree, he hit that ground so hard his long, straight legs broke and bent just like they are today. And when that Rabbit fell out of that tree, he hit that ground so hard, he split his lip. Now, you know that this is a true lesson. Because if ever you were to look at that Rabbit today, or any of his grandchildren, you would see that they all have long ears, little short arms, bent rear legs, a split lip, no tail, and they have to hop everywhere they go. Any springtime, you can go out into the park or into the woods and look up in that willow tree. And when you look up into that willow tree, you will see where Rabbit has left his tail. Because that willow tree has a very special look. And today that willow tree and Rabbit both look different. http://treasurestatelifestyles.com/rabbits-wish-for-christmas/ A Time for Giving I know your bunnies are a luckily lot, I’m sure they are treated and cuddled all year around. Sadly, there are many bunnies that don’t have someone to spoil them this Christmas, so if you have spare treats, have time to make some bunny toys, or have odds and ends like bottles, bowls, bin bags, brushes, towels, unwanted toys, even a bag of spare bunny food then please pop them along to your local rescue and make their day with something for the not so luckily bunnies. © Copyrighted
Last week we told you a story about wanting to limit our Christmas content. This week we said fuck it. First we're coming in hot with another installment of Netflix, What Have You Done? We talk about A Christmas Prince, princess shit, whether or not certain cohosts do or do not want certain protagonists to bone, laws stuffed in acorns, our pitch for A Christmas Prince 2, and most importantly, we fancast the Aldovian Eurovision Team (Spoiler alert: It's Adam Driver in a horse head mask). Next up we're baking up some Chicken and Pinecones in the Hallmark Cinematic Universe with Christmas in Evergreen. There are magic snowglobes, Coke Santa and airport rants, somehow Kirstie blacks out and forgets half the plot, Kelsey manages to sneak in some Everwood feels, and then we round the whole thing out by complaining about how much we hate Ted from How I Met Your Mother. If you're looking for us, we'll just be in our Christmas Void until the next installment of #HatewatchHallmark. We are members of the Thought Bubble Audio Network.
