I was thinking of stuff you could find in nature while camping, but def lint if you have it.

Good idea but this is in my home, not camping. It's too cold for that nonsense.

Some nice little DIY firestarters: if you have a wax burner, once the scent is burned off, pour the depleted wax into cardboard egg trays. Separate them and use them to start fires by setting on top of a pile of kindling then lighting the cardboard edges.

When some careless person can start a wildfire with a stray spark but I can't start a fire in the stove with perfectly cured wood and three different types of starting fluids.

I make my own fire starters...

This is what I make except I put dryer lint in the egg cartons first, then pour the wax in. I use old candles that I buy at garage sales for super cheap, or old melted crayons

I can have the same pair of sunglasses for 4 years or go through 3 pairs in a month, no in between.

So true!

When people say "to" when they mean "from." Like this:

"Greece is very different TO France."

No, no, children! Greece is not different TO France. Greece is different FROM France!

Always has been. Thank you. Carry on.
