Figure this one out

"Never the less the benefits out way the taste"

This extract is the beginning of a much longer sentence, and I had to read the whole thing four times before it began to make sense to me. Didn't want to post the entire sentence, nor say where it's from - the point isn't to embarrass the blogger, I'm just showcasing the sentence which, technically speaking, is complete in itself and doesn't need the rest of the content to help with figuring it out.


Isn't it breathtaking, though?

Sunday Scribblings - "Invisible"

Older women (especially in the West) say that they become “invisible” (to service personnel like waiters, doormen, etc, I’m guessing, as well as men in general) once they cross the magic age of 40. My take on that is that no matter what your age, you’re invisible if you’re the quiet, shy type who doesn’t like drawing attention to herself by a raised voice – witness me.

The moral of this is - if you want attention, be the vessel that makes the most noise.

Being an empty vessel, of course, is optional.
