28?
Dammit, briskwalker10—instead of turning this thread into some kind of gladiatorial arena, I decided to set it up like a little hippie commune... let's lead with love instead of war... 🤣

If we’re actually going to do some oil wrestling—fine—but I’m voting for an arena...

It's not a fair struggle, but you clearly mean something else. So, you're just digging through other PDFs. 😉

My brain is way too fried from work to actually jump into the challenge, but I gotta share this one thing because it’s the perfect example of the struggle. The struggle. It never ends. Hearing it today totally reminded me of that challenge Michelle Bennett14 🙂
put together. The words and the clip—it's a total combat kit.

No way, absolutely not. image

It’s not fair because she's the little one and I'm the big one. Plus, I'm totally readya>, but she isn't.

That's just your own opinion :roll eyes:
Tell her, buddy, tell her 🙂
And since you're already here 🥳, what's your take on this? 🙂

You have to be. We're the sun, the stars, and the moon 😁 And we're the best 🤣[/URL]

What kind of oil are we even talking about here? Extra virgin, diet, coconut? You gotta pay attention to the details, we aren't some amateurs...🍿

The lyrics and the track—total fighter vibes.

Grace Mitchell87👍 much like

I don't know much about oils, but somehow extra virgin sounds the most appropriate...

You have to be. Our sun, stars, and moons 😁 And we are the most beautiful 🤣

Alright, I'll give it a shot. I don't know. I'll try. As soon as you posted this, it reminded me of birds. Specifically, the struggle between a crow and a falcon. I bet everyone's heard the story about the crow and the falcon, but it's more than just some legend—it's actually how things work. If you look at a crow and compare it to human character, you could easily say they're stingy, boring, vengeful, rude, and they love to steal (if any of you ever had one in your yard, you know they'll swipe anything shiny)🤣but I'll be the first to say they're incredibly smart and know how to look out for themselves. On the other hand, the falcon is the king of predators—wise, noble, and steady. In that struggle between the crow and the falcon where the crow is defending its territory, it attacks the falcon mid-flight, pecking at it and beating its wings to try and drive it down or knock it out of the sky, but the falcon doesn't even react. When the crow gets tired and lands on the falcon's back, even then the falcon stays calm, just gracefully spreads its wings and climbs higher. The higher it flies, the more the crow panics, loses control, and falls right off its back... sometimes it manages to recover and fly away, but usually, it just falls...
I guess that's just how it is. Just like birds, people are the same. There are crows and there are falcons. Some people struggle, while others just spread their wings🙂

There you go, since you said that, but don't count me in for any competitions 😉

I don't know anything about oils, but honestly, "virgin" sounds like the most sensible option here...

Alright, I'll give it a shot. Whatever. As soon as you posted this, it made me think of birds. Specifically the struggle between a crow and a falcon. Most people have heard the story, but honestly, it’s more than just some fable—it’s how things actually work. If you look at a crow and compare it to human nature, you’d say they’re stingy, annoying, vengeful, and rude. Plus, they love to steal. If any of you ever had one hanging around your yard, you know they'll snatch up anything shiny🤣but I'll be the first to admit they're smart and know how to look out for themselves. A falcon, though? That's the king of predators. Wise, elegant, and poised. In that whole crow versus falcon conflict where the crow is defending its turf, it’ll dive at the falcon mid-flight, pecking and flapping its wings to try and knock it down. It just keeps harassing the bird, but the falcon doesn't even flinch. Once the crow gets exhausted, it ends up landing right on the falcon's back. Even then, the falcon stays calm; it just spreads its wings and climbs higher. The higher it goes, the more the crow panics, loses control, and just falls off its back... sometimes it recovers, but usually, it just drops.
I don't know. Birds are like people. You've got your crows and your falcons. Some people fight, others just spread their wings and fly.🙂

There you go, since you mentioned it. But don't count me in for any contests.😉

I haven't heard that one before, and eagles are my absolute favorite birds. I guess falcons are in the same family or something.
I really liked your story. 🙂
Everyone's going to vote, obviously. Thanks for sharing.🙂

Crow's Eye, now I'm not sure if it's a crow, a raven, or a magpie... I can't tell them apart. I just read one Native American legend about a tribe whose totem it was. It refers to that big, powerful black bird, not the ones with black and white feathers.
The legend is about how it's a wise bird that saved their people. I've always liked Native American stories, so I dig this one.

e... Rachel Palmer56, you remember anything else? 😁

It actually fits right in with what you were saying, because it’s true... I go to this spot out in the woods every now and then where there are these cliffs where eagles nest. Down in the lower forest, you've got those crows hanging around. Sometimes when an eagle catches an updraft and drifts too low, he ends up right in their territory. They swarm him—never just one, always a whole mob. The eagle just ignores them, obviously, since he's the boss. But for those birds, their only strength is being in a group. 😁

I’ve been sourcing oils at great prices lately—essential, therapeutic, stress-relief, you name it. I’ve officially moved on from astrology; these days, my focus is strictly on aromatherapy.🥳 🤣
Rachel Palmer56 Asks:
Let’s see how this goes. I'll give it a shot. As soon as you started this thread, it reminded me of birds. Specifically, the struggle between a crow and a falcon. Most people have heard the fable about them, but it isn't just folklore—it's reality. If you look at a crow and compare its traits to human character, you could easily call them stingy, dull, vengeful, and rude. Plus, they’re thieves. If any of you have ever had one hanging around your backyard, you know they'll snatch up anything that catches the light.🤣I’m free to say she’s incredibly sharp and knows exactly how to hold her own. On the other hand, you have the falcon—a predator, sure, but also a guardian of its domain. He's wise, poised, and composed. Think about that classic standoff between a crow and a falcon. When a crow feels its territory is threatened, it attacks the falcon mid-flight, pecking at its wings to try and force it down. It’s relentless. But the falcon? He doesn't even flinch. Eventually, the crow gets exhausted and ends up hitching a ride right on the falcon's back. Even then, the falcon remains unbothered. He simply spreads his wings and climbs higher. The higher he ascends, the more the crow panics. In that frenzy, the crow loses all control and slips right off. Sometimes they manage to recover and take flight again, but more often than not, they just fall.
I don't know. It’s like birds. You have crows and you have hawks. Some people choose the struggle, while others just spread their wings and enjoy the view.🙂

Michelle Bennett14 said:Your story holds water, and honestly, that’s exactly how it works. I often head out to a spot in the wilderness where there are cliffs used by eagles for nesting. Down in the lower woods, you have the crows—those black scavengers. Sometimes an eagle catches a thermal and drifts a bit too far, drifting right into crow territory. They swarm him. It’s never just one bird; they attack in a coordinated pack. The eagle usually just ignores them—he's the king, after all. But those crows? Their only real leverage is the group. 😁

I have no interest in being a moth or a falcon... I’ll be a swan. 🙂
