And what does it say about the state of the union when even citizens of that union applaud the win by Belgium?

@desperate-dan What happened?!? Hope you are feeling better soon! I know Twiggy misses being picked up for hugs 😿

Oh, desperate-dan , I think that is a job better suited for you. The (secret) women’s lounge is running smoothly. 😉

Tom slipped out of the LL last night to appear on the Steven Colbert show!

Love the closeup!

Here in Michigan the saying is “April showers bring May flowers”, but this year the tulips bloomed in April and are mostly done with their colors now. There was so much rain in March that there was a small pond in my backyard for a short time – first time in the 35 years I’ve lived in this house! Hmmmmmm

Congratulations to Charles, he beat tRump at the handshake challenge!

No barring Hanks! The LL has been so empty lately, we need him for entertainment value!

And I think the belief among some here is that you English actually copied your language from us!

I love Hawaii! Been there many times. Which island did you live on?

Just saw the news feed. Former Prince Andrew arrested because of the Epstein files! Too bad we don’t take it seriously in the USA ☹️.

Cody, assuming that is a photo of you, looks like you do some hiking in beautiful places! Try skiing and/or snowboarding and enjoy outdoor activities in the snow.
Hmm…nearing mid 20’s. At that age I was skydiving. Skiing lasted a lot longer than!

Hi, Dan! Ive been a vegetarian for over 40 years. My oven is used to bake cookies and reheat pizza. Hurray for microwaves 😋.

<p style=”text-align: center;”>@desperate-dan I don’t know why the US doesn’t use Celsius like most everyone, but no, I wasn’t referring to below freezing. It has been below zero degrees Fahrenheit here. Imagine how happy the pet dogs have been having to go outside in that to do their business!</p>
