What's that French expression again, clo...?

Qui s'excuse, s'accuse ... if I remember my school French correctly.

(Hopefully my French is a little better than Val's Latin, and I haven't just called down a plague of locusts on us all.)

 

 

I'm learning something. I'd never heard that saying but it's a good one

My French teacher at school used to use it in class, whenever one of us would deny being involved in whatever our latest bit of mischief might have been.

He said it translates to "He who excuses himself, accuses himself."

Of course, it could also mean "She who excuses herself, accuses herself." (But I went to an all boys school.)

Santa deserved it.  

Because Santa refused to be bribed and put you on the naughty list and it was not a fraud? 🤔🙄

If someone finds a chewed up brain leaking knowledge, please let me know. I lost mine 66 years ago when I started learning!

Ok everyone, I had to go get me some REALLY strong tea to keep me awake or I will not finish my sister's geocache book I am giving to her for Christmas. At least I am almost finished. I have to give it to her tomorrow since she is moving an hour and a half away from me. Hope she has a great Christmas in her new apartment and with her new granddaughter! She finally got to meet her last night when Hadley Ray and her parents came home from the hospital!

@Valkyrie, I can do a prompt in one sentence with 3 key words! toothpick, problem and ouch!

 

I need sleep so I can either do something drastic by using a toothpick on my eyelids to keep me awake, but the only problem I have with that is what if I fall asleep with the toothpicks still there and they pierce my eyelids which will make me wake up to say OUCH!

Thanks to the internet I am now an expert on the genetics of the taste of Brussel sprouts. Apparently 30% of the population can’t taste the bitter compound found in them.

I heard they were trying to bred the taste out of the sprouts.  They taste great when roasted or grilled.

I know some people call the bathroom a "reading room", but good grief, when someone stays in there for 2 hours then that is ridiculous! I even asked if he fell in and he said, "it looks like it"! I came back at him with, "Are you swimming for your life"? He started laughing and is still in there after 30 minutes after that short conversation!
