To Be Fair At The End Of The Day

Michael from Pinehaven

Cliques I am sick of:

1/ To be fair.
2/ At the end of the day.
3/ Yeah, Nah (yes, no)
Have you too had enough of these remarks that politicians down the chain say so often.

Quite often there is no need to be fair or fairness is not the object. Its simply filling a one dimensional gap.

Surely there are alternative words or an alternative word to mean "at the end of the day".

A written social clique like on Neighbourly or in Facebook that I find is often most likely untrue is:
1/ LOL (laugh out loud)
2/ Just saying.

LOL is often used at the end of a comment to lighten the effects of the comment or make out that the comment is not serious and is a way to hide behind the real intent of the comment.

"Just saying" is mostly not just saying but fully meaning in concrete terms what the just saying person has written.

There are other social cliques and excusing words I am sure.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
