when is recess.
5. Two's company...three is "The Muskateers."

fakes, genuine imitations, or authentic replicas.
7. You can't take your life back...if you don't remember where you left it.

Friends we are today,
And friends we will always be,
For I am wise to you,
And you can see through me.

No. 6 had me laughing out loud! That is so so true, Count Sneaky!
I didn't know Napoleon had instigated that saying, but it's one my father always said.
Happy Holidays!
Hello Count Sneaky,
Henry, once again, you have delighted with your very clever and food for thought, lists.
Brilliant and this is not a genuine imitation or an authentic replica of a comment:-)
May you and your loved ones have a peaceful weekend.
Kind wishes, Gary
A crow that lived to be 118? Now that's amazing!
Count Sneaky, I loved the Eric Hoffer quote...so very true!
Hope you and Helen have a beautiful holiday season, Henry!
Count-#9. As I advance in years, the temptation to mumble incoherently gets stronger and stronger. I can't help but feeling that clarity is overrated.
