Several people have been killed by trees, public transport has more or less ceased to operate, and the fire department is telling everybody to stay inside.

I had a nice red shirt with a black satin corset over it and a black dancing skirt with a satin hem and my old knee-high lace up boots that I'd totally forgotten I owned.
If I'd known we were going to be invited to a party, I probably would've tried to make a steampunk costume. Of course, there's never enough time for that anymore.
My bot never got anyone who gave anywhere near an answer for the 'pull to'/'came to' question. Everyone who answered gave me a definition, which is not what I asked for, and also what I had already written in the question.
I feel like that has happened for the last few questions I asked on the site, not that there have been many in the last year or so.

Before we were married, we had Christmas with my husband's brother. My two-year-old nephew and I were playing with his wooden Thomas the tank engine set, and I kept making it bigger and bigger, taking over the whole living room.
He eventually looked at me and said "Auntie, that's big enough."
Oh! I signed my eldest up for Destination Imagination (DI) which is the new name for Odyssey of the Mind which was the new name for Olympics of the Mind.
You had a three-minute skit (or some time-limited) to present, for instance, the seven wonders of the world and then what you thought ought to be the eighth.
@MattЭллен Oh nothing amazing. We just had a stupid sketch that was like a game show or something, and our eighth wonder was "time". Really? Time? Stupid.
The Seven Social Sins, sometimes called the Seven Blunders of the World, is a list that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi published in his weekly newspaper Young India on October 22, 1925. Later, he gave this same list to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, shortly before his assassination. The seven sins or blunders are:
*Wealth without work.
*Pleasure without conscience.
*Knowledge without character.
*Commerce without morality.
*Science without humanity.
*Worship without sacrifice.
*Politics without principle.

The list was f...
The first one we ever did was an invention challenge. There was a marked out area on the floor, and you had to get two people along a path without touching the floor with your body. The whole invention for doing so had to fit in a suitcase. Also, a creative sketch to go with it.
@MattЭллен well I'm serious. "Politics without principle" is bad, but "politics without morality" or "politics without humanity" is not. So you can make inhumanity your principle and then your politics are A-okay.
And the more overarching thing is of course, who says those things are bad. Obviously these things are a) intrinsic to humans, and b) got us to where we are now. And I don't know about you, but my life is frigging great. Who guarantees it would have been better, or even anywhere as good, without Ghengis Khan and Hitler?
Those idiots killed millions so I can have Internet and candy.
