Remember, when your mother asks you, "Do you want a piece of advice?" it is a mere formality, it doesn't matter whether you answer yes or no, you're going to get it anyway!

My husband recently had a very nasty reaction to some oral steroids. He told me his dreams and thoughts were really bad, wouldn’t share details. That means they were truly awful.

Sad to hear that! Similar here, weird and violent dreams, not nightmarish but disturbing.
By the Bye: Has the smoke from Washington burning cleared yet?
"t’s Alright, Ma" was written during the scary part of the Cold War, a couple of years after the Missile Crisis, and three after the start of the Berlin Wall. Yet there was a bleak optimism, a sense that the world could be changed for the better. Empire was finally coming to an end, there were new countries cropping up in a hurry.
After the Cold War it hasn't been so rosy.

Yes, the smoke is now gone from our air. However, for the people living close to the fires’(especially east),it is still bad. Our westerlies have kicked in and so has some rain.

If you count the number of spots on a pack of cards, there are 365 - the number of days in a year. There are 52 cards - the number of weeks in a year. There are 13 tricks - the number of weeks in a quarter. There are 4 suits - the number of weeks in a month. There are 12 picture cards - the number of months in a year.

golden showers - like trump? Fortunately there is a distance of some sixteen thousand, three hundred and seventy-three kilometres between Washington and Melbourne, so I shall be spared from nightmares. Besides, they happen only on Elm Street!
