a historic wrong is not a precedent, it is a warning to the present and a reminder of the responsibility of the state to not to repeat its crimes.

Acupuncture might help with his pain until he gets surgery.

One of my all-time favourite books too.

Okay, I am currently enduring a middle school graduation. 45 minutes later, my kid is in the last class to go up, and third from the end. Not looking forward to high school graduation!

C's definitely don't get it. My husband's an S, but I didn't think it was worth the slight upgrade to change my name.

I like the pomp and ceremony, but I also hated being the last one on stage because of my last name, so maybe they could do it reverse alphabetically sometimes?

Ikea!!!!! (One can dream)

Send in the Clowns is my all-time favourite.

If on a Winter's Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino is my favourite

Me too! I was so happy to find you on Bluesky; you were one of the reasons I was still going to FB. I really appreciate what you do for our community!

Can you add me too please?

I have rants about Heart of Darkness too. The hardest 110-page book I ever had to get through. We also did Lord of the Flies, the Chrysalids, and Flowers of Algernon, all of which I couldn't stand, but also The Handmaid's Tale before it was cool.

I just bought a bigger jacket. 😂 Still trying to make the velcro on the breeches close properly though...

Faytene also lost, which makes me even happier.

For fencing, French is the official language, so the referee says "En garde. Pret? Allez!" regardless of what country we're in. (Except for Brits, who say "Ready? Play!" even though we don't "play" fencing.) And then we all argue with the ref in English regardless of what countries we're all from.
