I think everyone should donate their unwanted presents to charity instead of returning them.

Why is living in Frenchtown not a good thing?

I use that phrase and or wording in a negative meaning not pertaining to nationality,rather I once lived there was an area in the city which, I resided in was called,"Frenchtown".Once a gloriuous and cultured area from ages past,but over a century later it became nothing more than a haven for drug users and prostitutes in the literal sense.Therefore, in all respects all cities across the world have their own ,Frenchtowns,Ghettoes,Slums,etc
which, I hope this makes sense now, not demeaning French people nor anyone of said nationality and the like.

It's Boxing Day today.
I don't think other countries besides NZ and the U.K. have Boxing Day?
I may be wrong.

More or less, as I'm sure you have seen areas that have over time had mutated from one thing to another.

I can't help wondering what the female in Kip's avatar is responding to.
She has fascinating eyebrows.

Hello everyone.
Hope you have all had a lovely day.

I have wondered about Kip's avatar too.

Feeling like a lucky girl to have been given a salt lamp - it is so relaxing.

My eyes skimmed across that quickly and I thought it said,

Seemed very Dickensian. A salt lump and a bucket of coal for Christmas.

Yes we Brits love a lump of coal and salt. Especially a cockney.

Well actually it is just a great big lump of salt hollowed out - comes from the Himalayas.
It sits on top of a base with a bulb in it.
I could chip a bit off if I ever run out of sea salt to put on my food.
