I thought I didn’t miss (and don’t miss) that MSNBC chat room, even tho I sure met some fine folks there ... but your mentioning Marine Vet brought a tear to my eye.
He sent me several letters, that I think helped him address some issues he had during his tours in Vietnam.
Another dearie was Irish Democrat. We could chat the whole evening and never say a mean word towards each other.
LOL the other chatters never could figure out that sometimes FRiendship trumps politics.
Irish Dem sent me at Christmas one year a fruitcake...that had so much booze in it....it curled my hair when I opened it.
