I am glad the newt is keeping you entertained.
I think fraserbooks has a time machine and has traveled back to 1917 only to find there are no competitions to enter and thus did not enter any.
Next year we could have a month by month challenge based on something relevant to that month.
January - new years resolution prize
February - valentines day prize
etc (I say etc because I haven't thought further than February)Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.
Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change0 -

I was talking to a player last night about my ideas for next year and that person suggested a weekly challenge, I don't think a week is long enough to do a challenge especially for me
I do think a monthly challenge would be a good idea though, as a plus to what I already have in mind
I think there will be more challenges next year, but maybe easier and with a lot a flexibility, cos we know how much you lot like to bend the rules :rotfl:“I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.” - Billy Joel

Sorry to hear you have son troubles. My youngest stops being a teenager this year so I sympathize. Although from random observation teenage girls appear to be worse.Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.
