I pulled that off without referencing a spell chequer or a dictionary. This thread was well before Covid. Yes, I may have one of the biggest differentials ever between written and spoken drivel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking about hair bands, you should see the collection of hair bands I have accumulated from all these granddaughters. We had a pool party last night, this morning I found three more hair bands. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
