School vs Life
In school you are taught a lesson then you take a test.
In life you take a test that ends up teaching you a lesson.

Mark Twain once said "you can put red ants and black ants in a jar, put on the lid and nothing happens. Shake the jar and they begin to attack each other. Red ants think black is the enemy, black ants think red is the enemy. We should not see each other as the enemy. The real enemy is the one who shook the jar".
Very true! Unfortunately putting an end to manipulative domestic politicians on both sides of the aisle is a crime.
Oh it aint just politicians shaking the jar. I think that's what Mr Twain was getting at.

Even more so when Christmas has no special meaning whatsoever. To me now it's just another day. Any magic left the day (and pretty much my entire life) long ago.

Scrub it till it shines doesn't always apply.
That's why I only talk to my sweet ride when no one else is around. She understands. I don't like PDA in general.

If your hands come in contact with onions, your fingers are going to smell like onions for the rest of the day no matter how much you wash them. Onions are the plant version of skunks.
