We, the British, set the rules. It is Association Football. Not soccer :D

The alternative is Rugby Football which later divided into Rugby Union and Rugby League. We set the rules for those too :D
The British did invent and do use the term" soccer". But it is only common tongue, or informal for football.
What the Americans call football is a distorted version of rugby. What they call baseball is a version of rounders, a game for girls in the UK. Basketball was invented by a Canadian.
I have just made all my lovely American friends hate me. :(

The town of Rugby is here in England. It ahs a very famous private school, Rugby School, where a certain William Webb Ellis is supposed to have picked up a football and run with it... and thus rugby was born.

We are responsible for cricket too.

The British were very good at inventing sports, exporting them to colonies and then losing comprehensively ever since [emoji849]
Yep.
I invented tortoise table tennis and Tidgy (Moroccan) always beats me now. :(

I'll bid you goodnight now then Adam. I shall be turning in shortly soon. I hope the recovery isn't too painful ;)
Worst thing is Bora is coming to visit tomorrow.
You will remember our nice, kind South Korean fiend and excellent student( who twice bled on the sofa).
She went back to Korea 2 years ago as her mother was sick, has been ill herself, but has just returned to Morocco to live out the rest of her life, hopefully.
(once you've got used to it, it really is the best place to be)

I have spent the majority of the day working on the design for Clunker's new enclosure..
I had one all planned out, and then my hubby says to me "you can't make it that deep, it needs to be able to fit through a door in case we move. Or you can make one to go in the carport, but it will need to be insulated, and you can even make it a tad bigger."
So I scrapped my previous design and started anew..

To vague of a question. In what way do you want your life to change?
My first response is everything. But really what I want to change is my psychological self perspective. Because until I can change that I can not change my life. No matter what I do or where I go if I can't change what's in my head it will not make a difference in my situation.

I look at self doubt and depression in a similar way as addiction. It takes determination to stop. Medication helps in some cases with depression but it did nothing for me. It was like bandaging a broken arm without setting the bone straight first.
I had to be honest with myself, all the terrible things that had happened to me could have happened to anyone. There are some things that can't be controlled but others can be.
I still have my family, I am still alive and I DESERVE TO BE HAPPY.
So I thought about it. What is keeping me from being happy? The answer was- myself. It was like I was addicted to the self hate and depression the same way an addict is addicted to a drug. Only without a high.
It is not good for me, there is no reason to do it but there I am doing it anyway. So I decided to quite. I smile even while I cry sometimes. But I WILL BE HAPPY DAMN IT!
