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!!!

Note to all:
These ( ) are called PARENTHESES
BRACKETS look like this: [ ]

Here endeth the lesson for today.
Note that there will be a question on this in the end-of-term examination.
🤣

ps. Jon,
(Or is that IJon? 😁)
Two is a number.
If you wish to express ‘as well’ in the short form, the word is ‘too’.
And as an afterthought, what I have used above are referred to as ‘single quotes’. The other ones are called “double quotes”. The general rule is: double quotes for speech; single quotes for other stuff.
I know it’s a bit confusing when the same symbol does triple duty as both a quote mark (single and double) and an apostrophe.
All clear now? 😊
Regards & God bless,
Ray

T1,
When we had our custom kitchen designed and installed 11 years ago the ‘Other Utensils’ drawer was specifically made deeper to accommodate those items. 😁

Terry Pratchett in his Disc World series, there is a book about the lesser gods, and one of those is the god of the kitchen utensils drawer :lol: Say a few words of praise and belief in the mighty power, before trying to open the drawer, a waste of time after you tried because the god of the kitchen utensil drawer knows you aren't seriously devoted ....
