It takes some folks longer than others! LOL

My brother literally HATED Ted Cruz earlier in this vetting cycle, but I have posted tons of stuff about him on Facebook, and I have converted him! LOL!

[Publius]

My personal favorite is sushi. There is a wonderful place in the Lake City section of Seattle that I discovered in 1989, and whenever I'm in town for some reason and it's close to the evening rush hour, I'll duck in. When a sushi virgin sits next to me, I'll order fried shrimp heads to gross them out. It's always good for a few laughs.

My favorite Chinese is Szechuan. They can't make it hot enough for me. When I feel a cold coming on, I'll order a big vat of hot and sour soup. It burns the virus right out.

It should be fun teaching Charlie to leave all the decorations alone.

Is he walking well on a leash?

[Publius]

When Charlie referred to the “People’s Republic of Virginia,” I was taken aback. Up until now, he had always looked up to Cuba and Vietnam. Maybe common sense is finally kicking in at age 65.

[Kathy in Alaska]

If you like Szechuan, you would LOVE Korean Food!

Hot, Hot, Hot! Love it!!!!!!

[SandRat]

He’s doing well.

[luvie]

Glad he finally saw the light before it dimmed and went out! There’s always time if you’re alive!

[HiJinx]

Wow! That’s nice.
Fireplace looks perfect for you and Lynn-Dah to cozy up to.
We’ll have to figure out a way to retain the décor...hmmm...?

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Army Bro!

After the hondling Navy suffered at the hands of Houston (who knew they had a football team?) your Black Knights have cause for hope.

Mrs. MacNessa and I will be at a Christmas Party Saturday afternoon, so I don't expect to see anything until the second half.

Praise to the Warriors, Dogfaces and Squids!

"I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender
the members of my command while they still have the means to resist."

[luvie]

That’s really lovely, ML! Will this homey looking place be in FL. You know you’d be welcome in Texas, too! Our politics aren’t quite as weird here. Well, sometimes they are. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good boy, Charlie!
