    A 5 season commitment already? Niceee! :sunglasses:

    This kinda reminds me of the start, 'unprofitable proposition'? Sure! :grinning:

    Try audio!

    In 1952, a friend of J.R.R. Tolkien showed him a tape recorder, which the author had never seen before. Delighted, Tolkien sat for his friend and read from The Hobbit for 30 minutes.

    Not when you reserve your red gloved punches and that hammer hand exclusively for me! :sweatsmile:

    April marks another year @ IL for me and, I believe I have finally figured out somethings! :innocent:

    We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won’t do harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine."
    — E.M. Forster, A Room With a View


    Ahem. There. I kept my word annnd I dodged the hammer too! :grin::p:cool:

    To 2018, :beer-toast1:

    Try to rise above our baser instincts; to be better. It's a process but success is in striving for betterment, not in perfection. That's a funny picture! :grinning:

    Do you watch The Handmaid's Tale? It's coming back next week for season 2.

    That brings to my mind - two things, my doodles and this 'friendship grid'...!

    Remember the times back when we were very 'frienmies'? :eek: Lol, and how far we have come today! :laughing: So, where would you put us in the grid? (Hint : Be nice!) :lol:

    The word was once posted before on iL but in a new age / urban dictionary context, and with that image to go with, it got stuck in my head for evers! :laughing: Good to learn about it's actual meaning and history!

    Here is a new generation word I stumbled upon recently and it inspired me much! #YesGN! :cool:
