some words, many wrong - but what are you actually saying about Lent? Does it also apply to Ramadan or only to spring perhaps? Try saying what you mean. On Lent (and anything else for that matter).
There is no dissonance, nothing of conflict in being kind generous compassionate and assertive. No need for a 'but' these aspects of personality can reside together in harmony. People will rarely use the seemingly opposed sides together - looking at the adjectives students use to describe me ... kind funny meticulous attentive - no one says strict. to have someone say you are aggressive or assertive, it seems, you have to be excessively so.
Here - cutting down trees is a big deal. You cannot cut down trees on your own property, as I discovered when one of mine in a storm broke a large branch and took out my neighbour's power supply. When they lop or cut down the pathway trees the council sends out notices. Large old eucalypts behind my house with huge root systems which created havoc with drainage, pathways and roads were cut down in recent years, notice of intent having been posted. I remember seeing trees in Seoul clad in cloth, seemingly to protect them. There is no similar winter here.
reminds me, 1990. I was communicating with an Indian woman, in Malaysia - and in fact went to meet her, share a holiday with her. Beautiful face, nicely spoken ... but on meeting, I realised I had met the most beautiful hippopotamus on earth. Also the most overbearing and stubborn one. I spent the next two weeks working out how to avoid being killed by her brothers. I did indeed escape alive and intact.
... and yet at the same time there have been populist rags going back 70 years in my memory, being from a colonial country, during which never a day went by without some glorious photo and story of the Royal Family. Go back to the abdication and marriage with Wallis Simpson ... even before my time, 1936. I'm sure that festooned the American tabloids.
Although it remains in very influential dictionaries, I think it is doomed to deletion - I don't think heptagon or nonagon have long for the adverbial form either, if dictionaries do still register them, and I cannot remember seeing pentagonally. Amongst a heap of words due for extinction. How about -arity referring to the quality of being of that form? Apart from triangle I think not. On the other hand referring to a disappearing creature who briefly appeared the -ly and -arity forms of peculiar are highly appropriate! Escher made great use of the hexagon symmetries didn't he.
And why, pray tell is it a burden? Where is it written that a government debt must be repaid? By future generations? where is that written? Every bond holder will suddenly present and demand? Why can't the government print money and let people but potatoes pasta and pork? Why not?
this bullied buffoon never answers, so perhaps I should never question. Moreover he never speaks to the topic, which is 'things we do as kids' ... what he did was tolerate unspeakable things, but as a kid what choices do you have?
Along those lines I recollect clearly - the boy over the road, inviting me to sit in the back pan of his tricycle. I wonder what age I was, but I complied and as he pedalled across the street, I cried out to him 'truck truck truck!' He took no notice, and pedalled right underneath the passing truck through the wheels - I don't know whether the truck stopped, but for sure it was driving slowly and so here I am today, 70+ years later. Last time I rode in a tricycle back-pan! I was definitely aware of the danger, even if he wasn't. Not sure whether I was 3 or 4, but it is one clear memory.
@happy the advent of internet 30 odd years ago spelt the end of local media basically. We used to have 'the Manly Daily' when I lived in the Northern Beaches, 60-70 years ago. t's official, the Manly Daily will not return in print - as of 28/05/2020 Having suspended the newspaper - more than 100 years old - during the COVID-19 outbreak, there was serious concern within the Northern Beaches community that it would only continue digitally. Those fears were confirmed on Thursday, with News Corp declaring the Manly Daily is one of 100 regional and community mastheads to permanently become digital-only assets, with a further 14 to cease to exist in all formats. It has been a staple on the Peninsula ever since founder Edward Lincoln, wrote in his first issue on 28 July 1906, "This little paper is as yet only an infant, but, like Manly, it will grow."
The Australian possum is quite a different species, somewhat similar in appearance, and like so many Australian native animals, marsupial. In New Zealand it is a major pest and subject to culling. To me, finding the fur and intestines in the lawn is unpleasant, distressing, and I'll kick a cat anytime I see one in my yard. Cats are killers.
I remember just before the 1989 Newcastle (NSW) earthquake noticing a sudden bird silence, followed by an increased twittering, then the windows started to flutter and the wide verandah screens visibly flapping like sails in a fluky wind.
@miclee I am definitely not just saying, I prefer making no bones about it!. Starbucks overpriced, underserviced, below average coffee and underpay staff.
@poster Yang shao? Hippy? I'll make a guess that it is actually Yangshuo, Guangxi, where they hold the Zhang yimou spectacular surrounded by the karst hills. Where Dutch expatriates have set up tourist hotels and European tourists abound(ed), where they happen to have a Fawlty Towers hotel, and pretty good coffee houses (way better than Starbucks, of course)

What else do you have to judge by, but judgement can change based on what happens now
