Video of birds stealing food!
In the world I work in Seagulls are a bad thing. In the world outside of work, seagulls are still difficult. They swoop in, poop, and fly away. usually leaving everyone wondering why.
My grandfather once told me “SeaGulls care about what they want. They don’t care about what is good, or right. Just what they want.”

“We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.All art is quite useless.”― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
“No man voluntarily expresses his opinion without some intent to make a difference, and even if he does, he shouldn’t.”― Criss Jami, Healology

The video of the birds is just great. I really like “The portrait of Dorian Gray” It is one of the best novels of all time but Oscar Wilde had such terrible last years of life.
his life ended horribly i agree. but those were different times. I would hope in the modern age he would be ok.
Thank you for the smiles. The bird video reminded me of when my friends years ago went to Atlantic City and one of them had an ice cream cone seagulls were flying overhead and one of them swooped down and took her ice cream away.
did she laugh when she told you? that is either really frustrating or hilarious depending on the person’s reaction!
They told me about this after their visit and they came home and yes, they found it hilarious because she was licking the ice cream cone and when she went to lick again there was no ice cream lol and the darn seagull almost dropped the ice cream scoop on her head
seagulls are fun on the beach – in the IT world we don’t like project seagulls
The lyrics are from the Sound of Music.
The bird video made me smile.
Always enjoy your quotes.
i knew you or ghost would know what movie it was from!
I remember those words well.
that movie was a bastion of my childhood
Some things we never forget. The good ole days.
SOM was a huge family event back then. we had dinner and watched the movie in the basement!
That seagulls quote is spot on – I will choose not to be like a seagull.
seagulls are really bad on writing sites and IT projects!
