Oh, I wasn't offended, Charlie - I like to know what my friends believe or don't believe! I just wanted you to know I feel the same way you do. Don't get me started on Texas and the Christian influence our TX governor is dumping on our schools. It is a miserable time to live in Texas.

Charlie, I AM a Christian, and I completely agree with what you are saying. I feel like we are being strangled.

Thanks for gifting this article so I can read it! I always appreciate that.

Thank you!

I am certainly not a movie critic, but I loved this movie so much. I would have stayed in the theater and watched it all over again!

It was such amazing tennis to watch! An unbelievable 5 hours of incredible - you can't help but wish they could both win.

I have to set time limits for myself. The good news is that I am reading more novels than I have read in a while. Also, I have an old dog who needs lots of my attention.

Thanks, Peter. I'm always thanking you and I'm thankful you share these articles.

Absolute truth here, Charlie. If we started our day having coffee together in the morning, we would be so worked up by noon that I don't know what would happen. I call someone/everyone every morning, and end each call with a cheery "Talk to you tomorrow!"

What happened with Duolingo, Eileen?

Make one tried-and-true recipe as well as the new lemon recipe. If it is delicious, send the recipe to me because I have lemon-loving grandsons.

Peter, you and I should be friends.

Thank you for gifting this article. I would not have seen it without that. It is a great article, and I appreciate you writing it.

Thanks for the access to this article, Peter. I could not have read it without that.

Well, you might be after the elevator ride!

Here is what I have learned this last few weeks - There is no delight in I told you so. Just stomach issues.

Don't worry about your desk, Eileen. You can't get any work done with a view like that anyway.

Thanks for posting this with no firewall - I would not have been able to read it. I look forward to reading your book!

I've been on that train, and I still tell people it was the best night's sleep ever. I love a good train.

I feel like I have gone back in time. In all the good ways.

At least I know you have a good book with you! I hope your friend does well in the surgery and recovers quickly, Charlie.

Joe, you bring me that nice cuppa in the morning and then put this down with it. A cuppa and a dose of reality is overrated. I did love this article and agree everyone should read it.

Thank you, @hcrichardson.bsky.social. Every American needs to read this.

We did, and against our will.

Happy New Year to you, Glenda!

Oh, that has already happened! VCA had me looking for a new Vet within minutes of my first visit.

I love the combination of cream and gray. My bedroom is that combo and I find it peaceful I guess.

Just put dark gray and cream throw pillows on them all!!

My husband and I took a photo of his parents in Scotland under a sign that says "Elderly Crossing". In the photo, they are WAY younger than he and I are now!

@buds2tall.bsky.social and Charlie, I guess this isn't the time to tell you I bought them.
