After all that psychobabble, all you really wanted to say is brag about beating a 16 yr. old at chess?

Hey! This guy is GOOD! He even wore a 'Chess Shirt' that had a bunch of Chess pieces on it that said "Choose Your Weapon", trying to psyche ol' grandpops out!

It was 'Mano a Mano' down to the last man. Instead of HERE, ... I could have been left on the Field of Battle!!!
 
Good morning welcome to another pissing contest thread. Seems some people just can't stand to see others enjoying themselves.
 
I wish I would have kept my Gremlin,I was still driving it,when most were off the road,and it was still going strong,and was cheap to maintain.
I also had a Honda 250 single cylinder,I should have kept.Was a great get around the city bike.
 
Here's something nicer. First time I ever saw lupines blooming was in 2006, the year after I lost my husband. A photographer friend invited me to come up to Alaska and visit Denali Natl Park with him. He was a much older man and we only knew each other via the internet and our mutual interests in photography, especially the northern lights. Because he was an actual photog who made his living via that art, he was one of the few granted three-day passes to drive a private vehicle through the Park. There were designated turn-offs for camping, out of sight of the road. The photogs are also given the privilege of exiting their vehicles to take pictures of wildlife or vistas or flowers, or just to pull off the narrow road and explore. What a gift! He let me borrow his excellent camera at times and taught me how to do close-ups of flowers, small critters, or large vistas. First time that I ever saw lupines in bloom. They do not like the southern climate where I was from. I just loved them! Fast forward 13 years.... and we have lupines in our garden now.

Beautiful! We have them here, too. They just grow along the highways here. Their colors are amazing.
 
All Mason and I have agreed not to make his "nice" and my "nice" thread a contest to see which is the nicer one as we have little control over posts. So let's live and let live.

Kind of sad when you have to act as babysitter with a bunch of alleged adults. Let's also not start sniping and then pretending to play peacemaker, as well. Just sayin'. lol
 
Good Morning Aimee, what's new in the lobster state? Real friends would send their pals some live Maine lobsters as an example of magnanimous philanthropy!

I know, right? I keep checking the mailbox, but noooo.... not a single lobstah from Aimee.

There is a Panda Express here. It's a pretty popular fast food place. I went once several years ago, I didn't have the orange chicken but what I had wasn't bad.

Beautiful! I love lupines, they are one of my favorite flowers. A standard in English herbaceous borders. :D
