Glad to hear this. Maybe put some of these high-priced consultants on notice. If their "sources" are fake, how can their conclusions be trusted?

Nope only sign of spring is the "spring ahead"! πŸ˜…

Houses also work well for this purpose.

I never saw any badges when I was there, but Ethiopians are pretty intense about teff!

Apparently this is a real word in Dutch... and English definitely needs such a word.

Hmmm...πŸ€” but why would Trump want to build a democratic government in Iran. He doesn't want one in the US!

Hilarious memory from youth:
Two friends and I are walking in a park. We come upon a pond, with numerous ducks and ducklings.
Friend 1: what sweet ducklings!
Me: what lovely colours!
Friend 2: I love roast duck!

These comments sum up my feelings as to why we should not be supporting this. No one can explain why Trump collapsed a deal with Iran, and is now starting a war to support more Israeli aggression.
But sadly, unlike Pitchbot, this isn't a joke.

Ummm...no, we're not, here in Canada. Looking longingly at pictures of snowdrops, while watching snowflakes

I have a kobo (I'm Canadian and avoid Amazon) and every time I close it, it updates the percentage read, which appears below the title on the home screen. It also shows page x of xxx when reading. Kindle doesn't do this?

Was out at 7 in housecoat and boots to shovel a path for the dog...easy to tell who's spoiled in this house!

I've only had this good boy a month, but it's pretty clear he doesn't believe in personal space (I'm lying on the couch andthe black & white is my blouse)

I have a new housemate. He's 9, he thinks I'm a pillow, he wants to play every day.... and those are his best qualities!

It me.
I live alone, and had unexpected company for lunch. No problem feeding them from my freezer : one meal of daal, one turkey heart stew, and one white chili.

Ok, I had to smile at the idea of a musical about a man known as Silent Cal.

I live on this island and ss you can see, most of us live near the ocean. I spent 4 years on the prairies, but it wasn't for me.

It's hard to say goodbye but it's always good to know that a living creature was happy because of you.
