    I have a couple of helpful tips to add . . .

    To vs. Too

    To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.”
    I will give this broom to you if you promise to use it to sweep your floor.
    It is 20 minutes to 9 PM.

    Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
    I too would like to have a broom to sweep my floor.
    I would like to have some ice cream too.

    It’s vs. Its

    It’s is a contraction of “it is” or “it has.”
    It's going to be really hard to stick to a diet.
    It's been a long time since I've seen my cousin.

    Its is a possessive determiner we use to say that something belongs to or refers to something.
    The dog would not let me take its bone.
    She turned off her phone to stop its infernal notifications.
    Being a leader carries its responsibilities.

    There, They're, and Their.

    There has the word here in it, which is helpful because it's often about location.

    We are going there. There you are.

    They're always means "they are."

    They're going shopping.

    Their is the possessive form of they.

    Playing with their ball.

    All Three: They're over there putting on their coat.

    Just dug these out from 2013. Both were taken at Coventry Village Markets here in Perth, West Australia.

    The first one should be chicken breast, of course. And, I believe the second one should start with "You look tired".
    I won't say anything about needing to seek professional help. lol.

    Several months ago, not sure how long, John had to do something to fix a problem and it resulted in subscriptions being removed across the board. I don't remember all the details. If it's been a while since you posted here, that may be the reason. May be.
