Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Well there's a niche market waiting for a smart entrepreneu... entrapr... ontra... businessman!

Google is way out in front on that one, even has a few different and easy to understand explanations of what the word means, that would be very useful for a lot of journalists, proof readers and editors, so they can get the correct word in the article rather just a big word that actually has nothing to do with what the article is about, nor fits in the sentence ...... Off to look for the tin hat :lol:

Another view point of the stages of life that reflect the season
1) You believe in Santa Claus
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus
3) You are Santa Claus
4) You look like Santa Claus all year round

Ah now Ray, the thing with cold is, you can just keep putting on another layer of clothing until you're comfortable. When it's hot, you can only take off so many and then you get arrested.

Yup.
That was always my argument, prior to intensive chemotherapy.
A damaged hypothalamus means I can no longer regulate my body temperature. So cold weather really gets to me.
Anything lower than 20~24deg and I’m grabbing a blanket.
Over 28~30 and perspiration makes me look like I’m melting! Drives SWMBO crazy. 🤭
Three cheers for air conditioning—both home and mobile!
