Anyone out there an expert on everything?

[donnashuggy]

Because I have lots of questions and I can't find the answers.

I can't understand why they are having March in March (on St Patricks Day)

Please can someone ask a question they don't know the answer to?

I don't know about him being an expert on every thing (if that is even possible) but this man knows a lot.

He even writes books about dyslexia and Christianity I think ?

You could try asking him your questions Donna,

He looks like a very busy man

There I was sitting on the deck sharing a seafood platter wondering why all these middle aged braless women were walking around in the hot sun carrying placards. I didn't bother reading any of their protest signs because I was too busy with my bugs and crabs and bottle of bubbles.

So what was it all about?

BTW the $140 seafood platter for two was a real WOW, fantastic value.
