Can you only write about your own class?
I've written about royalty, am I not allowed to do that?

Ha ha ha !

How ever little hair you have left, it still needs cutting .................. & then there's the beard !



I said to my doctor: "Doctor, my hair keeps falling out. Can you suggest anything to keep it in?"

He said: "How about a cardboard box?"



I suppose the doc saying a cardboard box for the patient is more diplomatic than a paper bag, lol :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.

The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
