Who, what, why, where, when & with whom?
Our last 2012 Cool hello from a Hot South Africa! Nosy Rosy salutes every person who tries to live up to all the often ridiculous expectations of this time of year. All the financially 'challenged' or disabled, trying to afford food, a 'holiday', or just a bread or beer. All the dysfunctional families, trying to appear 'normal'. All the people in mendacious relationships, all the single parents who try to fill both 'expected roles'. All the 'step' mommies & -daddies who try to replace the 'real' ones - usually shining brighter in there absence. Relax people! Life is life and we are all doing our Grandest!
