    Something else new. Click the balloon with the number in it, and you go to the comments. Neat touch. Merry Christmas to all of you. I posted last night in the previous page, but it disappeared. Christmas magic perhaps?

      I had a glitch with that page; the only way I knew to fix it was scrap the page and start again. Your comment was a casualty, I’m afraid. Nothing personal!

    Gen. Chuck Yeager on Twitter: “Christmas childhood: The Great Depression didn’t affect us – we were already poor. For Christmas, we didn’t get lots of presents but Dad always gave each of us an orange-very rare then in WV & we were glad to get it. I ate the rind & all.”

    My Dad grew up on a Middle Tennessee farm during the Depression, one of ten children. Fresh oranges were given to the kids (only) on Christmas morning.

    Breakfast was cheese and crackers, because my grandmother was busy preparing the Christmas lunch. Cheese and crackers on Christmas morning was a tradition my Dad observed until his last Christmas…and one I have carried on, most recently this morning.

    p.s. If you have Millennials in your family that happen to see this, you may have to explain why my grandfather didn’t just run to Walmart and pick up a few bags of fresh citrus fruit.

    Speaking of Dirty Santa, I got a good laugh out of today’s real time strip about the Polaroids.

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
    connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.

    Maybe you could space it out better? cheap flights

    checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with
    the same comment. There has to be an easy method you are able to remove me from that

    Right here is the right blog for everyone who really wants to find out about this topic.
    You understand a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that
    I personally would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a topic that’s been written about for many years.
    Great stuff, just great! quest bars https://www.iherb.com/search?kw=quest%20bars quest bars
