Always amazed at the success of the strategy divide and rule. Blame everyone you can on the issues so we ignore the politicians and powerful who could sort most of it.

Next question. Who ‘invented’ concentration camps. Yup. That would be the British.

Pushed it real good. HNY to both of you.

Wondering at what point ‘adversary weather’ is acceptable in the UK as an excuse. It was used today and I’d like to suggest it doesn’t fit the criteria.

Today’s big learning. Hair spray is an incredible remover of permanent marker. Stopped a 9 y.o. meltdown on their 11 y.o sibling. Thanks Silverkin and internet.

Decorate your Christmas tree with boxes and not get caught up in the world of baubles and tinsel?

Please say it’s true!
