    Guess The Item ๐Ÿค”

    I bought my Ex a nice sewing machine once. It rarely got used and never by me or my daughters! ๐Ÿ˜• As for hair rollers, even if I had the hair, I wouldn't use them. I do confess using a bulking gel for my wispy silver strands. ๐Ÿ’†

    God help all if a war starts up between Europe's NATO forces and Russia. Don't count on the Trumpsters, I think? No one knows what Trump will do, including himself, the idiot looney court Jester turned king. ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ“บ Mad Vlad is like the boy who cried wolf. His constant threats are words blowing in...

    Thomas, there is much chatter now on our Aussie air waves about the legacy of your Angela Merkel. From afar I always thought her as intelligent, moral, strong politically savvy and fair. I think her early dealings with Putin were considered and appropriate at the time. How do you see her from...

    I once kissed the Blaney stone Jessica. ๐ŸŽ‰ I could talk the spines off a hedgehog. ๐Ÿฆ” Sometimes I like to express some emotion by an icon rather than words. Not always. I feel an icon can often express better and more succinctly than words. And even be deliberately ambiguous. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‰ When teaching I...

    Gee, were you hurt Jessica? Thank goodness you were able to be rescued. Slack workmen. I hope they've improved safety wise in the UK. In Australia nowadays there''s safety work signs everywhere, even when no work is happening. ๐Ÿคจ

    Guess The Item ๐Ÿค”

    This item was invented first in France in 1830. I suspect the early models had no plastic but had metal and wood. It was also human powered before the miracle of electrickery. Pedals I think. The modern versions of this item are powered by electricity, just like heated rollers. The item's...

    I just discovered my new cat is a Vampire. She loathes the smell of Garlic. The rascally feline is always into my kitchen scraps bin, even with a shut lid. Problem solved, I just smeared minced garlic on the inside of the little bin's lid ! ๐Ÿ˜ !

    Black Friday sales seem to happen in many western counties now Jessica. I think it came from the US and was supposed to be a one day big sale. Bigger than Christmas some say? However, keeping an eye on it, I saw the sales here start early and go on about a week. Just google 'black friday sales...

    I bet you or your mum had one of these items Jessica. Thinking further re materials in its construction, some may have been of wood, like its base. In earlier years of course. This item has been around for at least a century in one development or another. To use it requires skills I've never...

    I chatted with my Sydney sider 81yo eldest brother today who feels the US is headed towards a decline in many perspectives. A failed state even leaning towards a civil war. Trump and his looney and suspect cabinet are like a dark circus and ill equipped to govern without chaos. An avowed anti...

    Putin should get over himself and have a nice holiday in France where he'll be arrested as a war criminal. Same for Netanyahu.๐Ÿ˜

    Is everyone here tuned into the Black Friday sales? They've started early in Perth this year so I went to the "Good Guys" and splurged on a new tablet and stick broom. I've three quarters set both up already being familiar with those things. The techology is roaring ahead still so I stick to...
