We all know who the obvious heroes of 2020 are: the first responders, the people working on vaccines, the people who work the liquor stores when everything else is closed.
that's easy.
but what about the people who unintentionally make our lives better?
they didn't mean to do it - they just did - thru their mistakes.
for example:
-hilaria baldwin. she's a hero because she finally provided us with a story we all can laugh along with. Her pretending to be Spanish gave all of us a chance to poke fun of her, during the otherwise, worst news of the century. We needed her pretentious lies to make us smile.
she had a rough christmas, so we could have a fun one.
-the "karen" in the park. Remember that lady who called the police on the black guy because he told her to put her dog on the leash? So why is she a hero? Because her irrational misguided panic reminds us, that as humans, we all are capable of this.
Who hasn't snapped at people for no reason? or misidentified a culprit where there is none. The worst feeling you can experience, is when you falsely accuse someone of something. it's the worst. When someone else does it, remind yourself that you've done it too - and do it less. or not at all.
-Jeffrey Toobin. We don't need to rehash what he did. but what he did served as a red flag- or a reminder - that anything embarrassing can be accidentally recorded. in his case its humiliating.
but his humiliation now reminds millions of men - and women - to check your lap top after every zoom call. I check my computer when i'm filming anything now.
so you see what i mean by "unintentional heroes."
do you have any? i'd love to hear about them!
Chris @GGsister2 gifted me the Giadzy sauce for my bday, so the meatballs basically made themselves. 😂 What’s something someone bought you that inspired a great meal—or a spectacular kitchen fail?
P.S. it's not my birthday. I just took a while to use my sister's birthday gift.

What person did you realize that you totally misjudged after meeting them?
What is something stupid you did as a teenager that still scares you when you think about it?
Caterpillar Part 2 - not interested, please scroll along.
More on this, and then I'll move on. Why didn't I know this??? He could be anywhere by now! From Co-pilot:
Monarch caterpillars typically travel a few feet to about 30 feet from their milkweed plant to find a safe pupation site, though some may go as far as 70–85 feet.
Caterpillar Wandering Behavior
When a monarch caterpillar reaches its fifth and final instar, it stops feeding and begins a wandering phase to locate a secure site for pupation. This behavior is driven by survival instincts, as staying on the milkweed exposes the caterpillar to predators like wasps, spiders, and birds. By moving away, the caterpillar reduces the risk of being eaten during its vulnerable pupal stage and seeks a structurally stable location for its chrysalis.
Typical Travel Distances
Short distances: Most caterpillars travel only a few feet up to about 10 feet to find a suitable perch
Moderate distances: In garden or natural settings, ...
We have one caterpillar casualty. The one that was staying at the top of his container must have climbed out one of the small holes. He was there this morning. They are on a card table with a red, white and blue tablecloth. I checked everywhere. I don't know how far he could go in 8 hours. It's kind of funny even though it's sad. I hope he turns up, or maybe in a couple of weeks there will be a random butterfly flying around the house! This never happened before!🐛🦋
