I know some sisters who only see each other on Mother's Day and some who will never speak again. But most are like my sister and me... linked by volatile love, best friends who make other best friends ever so slightly less best.
~ Patricia Volk

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers.
~ Pam Brown

It was nice growing up with someone like you - someone to lean on, someone to count on... someone to tell on!
~ Author Unknown

~ Pam Brown

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.
~ Barbara Alpert

She takes my hand and leads me along paths I would not have dared explore alone.
~ Maya V. Patel

649_Busyness as usual




Better to act busy?


Busy busy

i can be very busy if cakes are around...

Busy Bee or Humming Bird?

Infromation source :internet
They’re pretty industrious but not as busy as some other animals. A honeybee might work anywhere from just a few hours a day to about 12, depending on its role in the beehive. For example, worker bees tasked with the daily foraging of nectar or pollen generally spend nearly every hour of daylight outside—but as soon as it gets dark they get to head back to the nest and relax. (Honeybees don’t sleep the same way that humans do—they don’t have eyelids, for one—but they do stop moving, relax their muscles, and let their antennae gradually slump.) Worker bees whose duties lie within the nest don’t have it easy, either—they stay a little busy around the clock, tending to the honeycombs, fanning their wings to keep the nest cool, but they do take frequent breaks. Queens are also busy, if relatively immobile, laying more than 1,000 eggs each day. Drones, by contrast, are quite lazy. They don’t leave the hive until early afternoon, at which time they carouse around in packs, and when they get home just a few hours later, they rely on the worker bees to feed them.

To determine which animals are really the hardest working, consider the ones with the highest metabolic demands. Some of these animals, such as shrews and hummingbirds, must busy themselves enough to eat nearly their whole weight in food every day.
