Oh, ha ha ha. Your limerick is too good!

I think I need to hire YOU as my editor!

You could invent an Air Flyer Fryer...then when you cook wings they'd still be flying around. Put a clear glass door on the front and have fun watching your food cook...

Definitely. Where's my party, right? Pope Gregory was born on January 7th, so it's no skin off his back. What about all those Libras?

btw....Happy Almost Birthday, Emily. 🍰🥳🎈

Thank you, Heather!

I hope the Libras staged a revolution to remove Pope Gregory's birthday too lol.

In 1989, I walked the Great Wall of China. It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. Thanks for bringing back for the memory.

Oh my gosh. How wonderful....and amazing, Janice. What did you think of your experience there?

Hi Heather, Thanks for asking. I was there in March just before the Tiananmen Square massacre. The walk was very strenuous and yet I had many insights along the way. My son-in-law was born and raised in Wuhan China. So he, my daughter, and I went to visit his parents. We were honored guests and novelties - two red-haired white women - at the same time. The whole trip was incredible - the food not so much.

Another issue brimming with interesting stuff. You must research all week long. The movie sounds harrowing, but has the potential for an exciting, positive ending. I might try it. Oh, and by the way , can you by any chance deliver a couple of buckets of those chicken wings?

Nope. Sorry. I ate them all.

Hope you watch the movie. It's good. Really.

Awesome as usual. I need to watch The Covenant.

I laughed at your wing pun.

I can’t believe a pumpkin weighed in at over 900 pounds. Was it on an all-carb diet? (Not as funny as winging it)

Some people wouldn’t mind losing a birthday if it in fact made them 1 year younger.

Heather thanks for the read. Loved it!

The Covenant is definitely a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟movie! Also, Prey is surprisingly good. It’s part of the Predator series, which I can’t abide, but it’s definitely a couple stars better than the other Predator movies.

And speaking of the Great Wall, my all time favorite Audible book is Shadow of the Silk Road, by Collin Thubron, who traveled from China to Turkey. His writing is extraordinary, as is his detailed knowledge of history along the way, including China. The narrator is excellent as well. While in western Iran, he gets an abscessed tooth that takes him on a dental adventure worth the price of the book on its own.

Thanks for the book recommendation. It sounds really good....though perhaps a bit painful for the author.

Not sure about the Predator series. With those kinds of movies I usually end up watching 50% with my hands over my face, just peeking between my fingers. Is 'Prey' one of those?😱

Not much gore except the gradual dismemberment of the predator, but really interesting portrayal of Native American tribal life 300 years ago in eastern Idaho-western Wyoming country. Also, the heroine was a young Cherokee woman, which was a refreshing change from the usual muscle-bound crowd.

Why do aliens always have day-glo green blood, or sometimes, the clear gelatinous slop kind? Iron deficiencies?

lack of red blood cells? Too much broccoli?
