I adopted a new slogan today "My weakness is my strength" in another post. After thinking about it for a while it sounded too familiar to be my own. thanks to Google I discovered this:-
My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.
Maybe another tid-bit from my mine of useless information, but it works for me as it makes me use my mind.
Sometimes, typically when I'm dozing or going to sleep at night I come with the most brilliant sayings and phrases. I mean they're glow in the dark brilliant, insightful, relevant, timely - I'm a genius! However mostly I do tend to forget them rapidly but the few I do manage to remember often turn out to be quotes or the sayings of others that have somehow managed to re-float themselves through my brain
Not sure if anybody else does that but it does happen with me.
My most remarkable ability is to remember I've forgot! I often remember I had a really good idea or thought but zip zap zoom it is gone from my brain (course that can happen as often as me walking into a room to look for something or do something and when I get there I can't remember why)
I can be in my bathing suit on the beach and debating in my brain the theory of relativity or I can be in my nightgown in the kitchen and mulling over astronomical black holes or I can be in blue jeans in the backyard thinking about flamenco dancing or wearing a ball gown watching the Nutcracker Ballet and thinking about how the garden will grow come spring AND AND AND nobody knows 'cept me where my mind might be or has wandered too. There is hardly ever an association between where I am and what I'm doing and what I might happen to be thinking about.
Is that the sign of brilliance or insanity? (There always has been a fine line)

Back in the day many bananas had quite large seeds, I still remember eating them with large black seeds in the centre, but as you say modern cultivars cannot reproduce that way.
I came across this puzzle painted on a 17th century jug, while watching an antiques program (to which I am addicted :lol: ) yesterday.

Totally agree, did you see the recent one when JP who hadn't been doing very well bought and sold at a loss a small table. Next day, at first shop, there was the table at an even higher price!

Yes we are 146 yrs old. I remember quite vividly when Canada turned 100. I was still in elementary school and we all got flags and certificates handed out. Lots of celebrations.
