Did you ever wonder what most people truly want for Christmas? No, this isn't about some of us wanting better health for ourselves or a loved one, or a ridiculous list like a trip around the world or a new car, or a new home....

41Combedale Changing things around the house is such a good idea, it is better than moving and you get a sense of fresh beginnings which I am sure we all need from time to time. You have lots of caring friends a good husband and prepared meals. Much to praise God for!

Chatting with Sonja Rae about how a person’s small habits can get on your nerves reminds me of a backpacker we had. She worked 7 kms away in the town but stayed with us on and off for quite some time. I think she liked the company...

41Combedale The habits that annoy me are mostly spoken ones. For instance, continually repeating "you know what I mean?" I am irritated too with people ending a sentence on an upturn, as though it is a question, wheereas it really is the end of a sentence and should...

41Combedale Even English people pronounce things differently, depending on where they live. It isn't a logical language but it has included lots of foreign words over the decades which has added to the problems.
