There's so many things I could say........

@Federica Get well soon, our fierce moderator!

@Shoshin1 Did you move there to get away from the Rat Race? I always thought New Zealand was muy expensivo... but 70s Aotearoa sound like hermit's paradise. I hope it didn't turn out like the wild west... Armed hippies with long braids and red eyes...You know, I moved to Berlin to escape "The Rat Race"* in Spain to discover I was living The Rat Race but in a city that basically allowed me to live the decadent lifestyle I wanted and tried to keep in Madrid and at a high price really (but quite low compared to Madrid).

As for my random announcement...My wife and I are really happy because my inner demons known as methane gas and bros-also known as Bellygrub- have ceased completely. I cannot digest gluten properly. This end over 25 years of shame and emergency "gonna open the window" related situations.

Killed half a dozen flies, have I broken my lay-precepts?

Old habits die hard @Yeshe2019

It's important not to beat yourself up when you slip up.....

Just 'vow' to do better the next time you find yourself in a similar situation...

I’ve never gotten along well with wasps, when i was young i ate an icecream with a wasp on it and got stung on the inside of my mouth, which i opened and the wasp flew out. Cheeky bugger!

Shit happens @how

The only way I can remove silverfish without killing them is by using the edge of a very wet piece of tissue which they temporarily stick to long enough to get tossed out the front door.

On June 17th 1976, we experienced snowfall which, in some parts of the country, fell to a depth of nearly 3 inches.

Six days later - the 23rd of June of the SAME year - saw the beginning of what would become the hottest, driest summer on record ever, with temperatures reaching up to 93 degrees Centigrade, causing water shortages, and a death rate 25% higher than in any other year, before, or since.
Effects of the drought were still evident in forests and woodlands, right up to 2013. (No, I don't know how they know, I'm just passing on the info.)

Hang on! April Fools 👏👏👏
