What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

I appreciate that John, it was my wife’s grandmother’s recipe that she brought with her when she immigrated to the USA from the Hunan Province of China. I stay true to the recipe so I just call the meat chicken as not to offend pet owners. 😉
And you don't put chicken in quotes, so it just looks that much better. Thanks for sharing Meemaw's beautiful story and genuine passion for Hunan delicacies.
 
Hey everyone, been a busy day and also been trying to keep my cool, But still waiting on unique corals to respond on my partner drawing win, yeah its been a while since the drawing. I have notified AlyciaMarie, waiting to see what she can do.

I am feeling better, yes. Im still quite sore, swollen and bruised. But its getting better day by day
What did you do to get bruised and swollen? Did you talk back to your wife? Maybe you should have given in and let her put up the Christmas tree to early like Kevin did...
 
Hello family!
Ive been under the weather that past couple days. I hope everyone is doing well
Turn the corner soon Rock! This is for you.

This is my silly great nephew that always insists on me sitting beside him when we are together. We played Frisbee earlier and he wore me out. I am 99.999% sure I'm his favorite aunt. Lol

Sorry buddy. Get your rest, that's the most important thing. Hopefully no setbacks?

I had a mass taken out of my groin, when they got in there, they saw three questionable lymph nodes so those were removed as well. Hence I am so sore and swollen. Lymph nodes are highly vascular and now I have a large hematoma (bleeding under the skin) in my groin.

Now that's my kind of people right there! I hope you guys have an excellent time together Amanda
