    In the United Kingdom, Brownies were originally called Rosebuds.[1] Rosebuds was started in 1914 and was originally for girls aged 8–11. Rosebuds was renamed to Brownies in 1915.[1] In 1937 Princess Margaret became the first royal Brownie.[4]

    Brownies is the second youngest section of Girlguiding in the UK, catering for girls aged 7–10. A group of Brownies who meet together is called a unit.[5] Brownies work in small groups called sixes: each six is named after either fairies or woodland creatures. A six is led by a Sixer and has a Second who acts as deputy. The Brownie programme is called the Brownie Adventure. It is split into 3 parts:[6] you, community, world.

     

     

    I quite like Rosebuds, never know that was the original name.

     

    I was dragged to a performance by the local Ballet society last night, sadly only 2 boys participated, they had one section where younger kids were dressed like Brownies, maybe a connection.

  2. In the adjoining County there was an Immigration raid on a Mexican restaurant, maybe 2?, according to the local paper the following day 30% of the students did not attend school. It is a very wealthy area, large demand for cleaners, gardeners, construction, food service workers etc and very difficult for regular people to live in.

     

    Anyway to suggest that it is difficult to find people here without papers always struck me as laughable. And not just here, pretty obvious.

     

    Now I think of it I remember a guy I knew who was a ski bum up here 30 ish years ago, he paid his way cleaning rentals, not possible now to do that, that sort of job pays the same as it did 30 years ago.

     

    Ohh just remembered something else, this was before I had moved over, must have been prior to an election, chatted with a guy who was canvessing and he said to me it was a waste of time in the area where we were as very few were eligible to vote, he was a Democrat.

  3. Full Custody does not mean she can move countries, now I am not familiar with the details of Indian laws on this matter but I would check first. She will soon I assume reach majority when this will not be an issue.

     

    SB1 seems to have a very low success rate and I doubt that her reason, well your reason, I assume she had no say, would fly but not my call.

     

    Prior to the current administration I would say get on a place asap, might still be the way, after all worstn that could happen is you file AoS. Well probably worse that could happen?
