If you have an iPhone, and you have a moment to check, will you look at Settings > iCloud > Messages and see how many you have. The number it is reporting for me seems wildly off. It amounts to 72 messages a day since the iPhone was released. image

Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948, commemorated with a national holiday every Dec. 1. Instead they prioritize national budget investments in areas such as education, healthcare, and environmental conservation. Isn’t that awesome? image
