What is happening to the pictures?
by Xanthippe inhi simon, i notice some of mine and kaik's photographs of our gardens from bonsai's 'start a butterfly garden' thread are missing and being replaced with little squares with question marks in.
they're not pictures taken from the web but our own photos so i'm not sure what's happened there.
they've been there a while and used to be fine.. also i like to look back on flipper's 'post a picture thread' to see if i've missed anyone and it's starting to happen there too and some of the pictures have been turned upside down, p94, p95, p103.

Science Fiction fan? Help please..
by Xanthippe indoes anyone remember a story about humans visiting a planet where they had fruit that smelt so delicious that it was almost impossible to resist but if you did eat it, it changed you genetically into a different species that i think was immortal.
seem to remember something about the 'victim' losing their human face and a sort of beak would form.
sound familiar to anyone?.

They are already in paradise
by Xanthippe indo you remember going door to door and if you went to a beautifil home with a beautiful garden often the person with you would say -'these wont want to hear the message, they already have their paradise'?.
it seems to me that was what a lot of the message of the new system was about.
who wouldn't want to choose a beautiful part of the world and build your own house on it without paying for the land or building materials?.

Contin-uous hyphen-ation
by Xanthippe ini know this has been mentioned before, that words at the ends of lines are continually being cut in half and hyphenated.
i think a suggestion was made and if i could find the thread i would follow it but it may have been removed, i've gone back in 'forum related' topics several months.. i can see it's not just me that it happens to and i have been trying to ignore it because life is too short and all that.
i'm just starting to find it really annoying now.

We are not the only ones who have lost our faith
by Xanthippe init is not unusual to lose faith in the religion that you're born into.
i actually think it's quite common to move away from you parents' belief system and find that you are a different kind of person to many members of your family.
i have read in national newspapers of famous people including politicians who have left the faith of their birth and found family relationships very difficult, some of them have even been shunned by family.. quite often in local newspapers i see books for sale from one individual about eastern religions, philosophy, evolution and so on.

English Channel boats
by Xanthippe inhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-48484017.
so more refugees in the english channel and a politician comes on the radio and says britain and france need to work together to end this crisis.
how do you end a crisis where so many people are swarming to rich countries to escape dire poverty or violence?
