Thread to celebrate the Rich Tapestry Of Life!

Reins vs no reins
Foreign travel vs Staycation
Going out vs staying in
Grey vs colourful decor

Is it just me or is MN particularly full of threads inviting divisive debate?

And I lurve a bit of lively debate, I am quite happy to state my position forcefully but I also love hearing the opposing argument Grin

And I love the fact that we are all different. This is not a liberal, wishy-washy stance, but a call to arms to celebrate diverse tastes, lifestyles, personalities, food preferences (shall we decide on The Best Cocktail?!) etc etc.

Being odd is underrated, swimming against the stream is HARD and not necessarily wrong, being part of the majority neither. I do hate opinions being shouted down or dismissed with sarcasm and snide remarks.

Life needs quirks and alternative takes on challenges and I find while on the one hand we live in an 'anything goes' world, OTOH social norms can be quite restrictive.

So, a thread full of kindness and appreciation of The Other.
I give you DS4's 'improvement' of a recent photo Grin - he is my creative aka quirky one.

That drawing is wonderful. Grin

My kid wrote a poem yesterday containing the immortal line, "I hate zebras! I lost my job because of them!"

I've alway had my suspicions about zebras - monochrome feckers!

That's the kind of thing I'm talking about Smile

D is your Dc a former lollipop person? I am currently so happy and proud, my Ds2 did BTec post 16 and got the highest grades possible but I feel wrong to shout about it due to the A'Level fiasco.

This thread has reminded me that DP and I were in Devon last summer, when I saw this beautiful unicorn.

OK - rich tapestry.

Weird and wonderful song by a comparatively unknown singer...
I don't know anyone in RL that shares my musical tastes.

Love the unicorn - how lucky were you to have seen one, WarmSausageTea! Smile

I now want to dig out some Laurie Anderson I have on cassette... Grin

My dog on her holidays. She hated it.
