GREETINGS IN THE NEW YEAR!
It has been a long time since I have posted but I had surgery at the beginning of the New Year after a return of Ovarian Cancer which I have been struggling with since 2002. This time it was much more difficult and tomorrow I will begin a new course of chemotherapy. Believe me, cancer sucks and worse it pulls EVERYONE around you in with you and they suffer as much or probably more than you do, especially family which feels absoutely helpless. Wish me well.
I was sent a strange article from the internet which I thought I would share. In Manchester, England, a female Komodo Dragon, a highly endangered species, produced 5 baby Komodos as a result of a virgin birth! Yes, I said virgin birth! Flora, the mother, managed this feat without a male partner or even being near one. Apparently this has happened one other time. Some reptile and fish species do reproduce through a process called parthenogenesis but I am thinking she snuck out one night to meet a handsome suitor (sic) - how about you! anyway, here is one of the babies!
