My thoughts: Women’s issues

    I know about women’s issues. I’ve been reading about them, today. I knew that women didn’t get the same salary as men, all over. Nobody paid women over men. I knew, but not as much, that there were fewer women in manage-ment than men, but I didn’t know it was their problem. It is. I didn’t know that the big argument that is over abortion was so hotly outspoken and contested. I had answers that may have been old-fashioned and out of date. I think they are. Looking at blogs on Tumblr show there are many diverse issues out there, but nobody covers them all.

    We (yes, men too) need a semi-central point to relay all this from, a single authority to stand up and deliver the speech, to be the tipping point for answers that are hopefully forthcoming, and be a place where new ideas can flow, to and from. If you think this is only a rallying cry for Hillary, it could be,  I agree to that, but so much more is needed. 

    Once again, on Tumblr under “Women’s issues” there are a plethora of stories on the good and the bad that is happening around us today. It is a game changer, and if you put yourself in the catseat and open up to the idea that these things need attention. Just like the current subject of gun control is there, so this should be. Half of the population is covered under the Constitution, equal rights. Like Civil Rights that covers everybody, this subject is related to everybody, everybody is affected and can affect this. Don’t turn away now.

Guinea Pigs

What do you know about guinea pigs? They are not from Guinea, nor are they pigs. They came from the Andes and are a staple there. Long ago, a lot of 1,000 guinea pigs and lamas were sacrificed to appease the gods for better crop harvests. Nowadays, they are raised for food in small, shallow holes inside the homes of those in South America that raise them, for food, although not in large numbers.

There are many breeds, including long and short-haired versions of various ‘forest colors’. My two are American and Coronet.

As for behavior as pets, they are mostly nocturnal, yet are awake off and on in daytime. They need diet food and like sweet Timothy Hay. Like humans, these rodents need vitamin C, usually put in water or food by liquid from their owners. They can ‘put up with’ a 2’ X 3’ cage minimum and need ”social time” as they are ”social animals”, so are best kept in pairs or with litter mates.

For me, particularly, I’ve noticed they can tolerate noisy vacuums and dishwashers; and, they have hearing up to 50,000 hertz. On the other hand, I’ve heard lights switching on and off may upset them. As an owner, one should check their paws, ears, eyes, nose, teeth and fur weekly for ‘irregularities’. Being prey animals, they have a tendency to hide their faults from predators; that they ‘think’ is everyone else, and is hard to breed out.

They speak in ”wheeks”, sounding somewhat like small whistles, squeals, ”chuffs”, and other vocalizations; and may display dominant/submissive behavior, like territorial hindquarters rocking or sounding a low frequency “chatter”.

These animals are a joy to keep and watch, and I fully would recommend them as pets.
