Lili's next thought for the day


It doesn't matter whether you are talking about wearing a wide-brimmed hat in the sun, condoms, beach shark barriers, jail cells or fruit-fly netting for fruit trees, the principle is the same; there's nothing quite like a physical barrier for protection. 


Lili's thought for the day


You know what I'd do if I won lotto? I'd call my aunt and ask whether she'd like me to try to buy back her soul.

Lili's question for the day


If "girls just want to have fun" then why are there usually no girls or females of any age using any given skate park?

Lili's experience of the day


I recently attended a women-only birthday party at one of those tea-rooms that do high teas, with the OTT flowery decorations. It was a pleasant experience, and I'm grateful for the invitation, but I thought it was quite sad that males had been excluded from this landmark celebration, expecially in light of the fact that the "birthday girl" had a husband and only sons.
