I'd seen it before but it was chopped and the sound was horrible. This one is great!

Grandma is fierce and her curse powerful.
I hope she has survived the russians, to see the eventual victory of Ukraine!
I'm in AWE of the Ukrainian people.

Slava Ukraini!

SO AWESOME! I especially love it because this was my personal theme song when I was in acute pain from a 6 month staph infection from surgery complications. I have survived and lived for 25 years and even the pain from this went away (finally).

Hope Ukraine can survive and thrive again as well!

My BFF who has an advanced nursing degree said I probably shouldn't have made it but sheer will got me through. I was not about to leave my family, especially the kids, they needed me!

They have demonstrated bravery in the face of early overwhelming aggression from Russia, and they have shown the world a people willing disciplined and dedicated to dighting for their country. Along the way, they’ve shown humor and a masterful use of social media and other media to troll. Russia. As its leader, President Zelensky has proven to be the right leader at the right time. He and his team have inspired us all.

In contrast, Putin has shown himself to be a delusional megalomaniac with no sense whatsoever and exactly the wrong leader for Russia.

The US could learn a lesson, but most won’t. And that lesson is that authoritarian leaders surround themselves with yes men and refuse to hear anything critical or negative, just as Trump flew into rages when he was criticized or told he couldn’t do something because it was illegal. Why then do voters prefer the Republican Party of Totalitarianism and its Putin-worshipping party leader to the democratic leaders who fight for freedom and rights, not just for the privileged few but for all the people.

That's Bimbo, Koko and Betty, and the skeletons look like a Max Fleischer work, too.
