I just need two more stamps and I would have got the microwave upgrade.

What the hell do they need microwave for in Saudi anyway, it's too hot. Dorm room refrigerator, that makes sense. Not microwaves.

Mine is just about downhill.

Unfortunately, I earned my toaster oven a long time ago, so I am unsure if I am eligible for a new one.

I'm not so graceful in the face of an unprovoked personal attack or my strong suspicion that a poster, much more likely than not, is disingenuous or pandering for one person or group or another.

Others, including you, stay the graceful course a hell of a lot better than I, and are inspirations.

crookneck squash and tomatoes this year, along with strawberries and my spice garden.

It has been a rough season to get starters - cold one day, hot the next.

At least my strawberries seem productive.

It's rough for my peppers. Both plants died. Not sure why, because I planted them in optimal weather, but they just gave it up.

I guess I'm doing squash and tomatoes this year. That's a great combination to be thankful for!

No hosts, no mods, no cliques, no censoring via locking threads, except by jury. No MIRT group banning new members either. Wow, it's gonna be a tough adjustment for some duers, I think.

I love imbeciles, having been accused of being one myself a couple of times.
You were sunshine on a day that all the news seemed so bleak.

If I weren't married and about 55 years too old for you, who are apparently a very young man I'd send you my phone number.
