Wow, thanks so much for the very detailed reply!
And with nice pictures also!!! Way more than I expected.
I will take advice from anyone who's willing to give it! And sounds like it's all good advice to me!!! Will take all into consideration! Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my question!
Not a problem at all my friend. You are very welcome. Do you have a picture of the plate? I know you dont have it yet, maybe a seller's pic. There are so many nice ones out there, I love seeing all the color and pattern variations.
Dont hesitate to reach out if you have anymore questions.
Also, welcome to the Smorgasbord thread!
 
It really does. I'm normally a pretty happy person but lately with not sleeping well I have been over emotional and having horrible mood swings and just exhausted all the time.
At least you have enough self awareness to realize that you're not yourself these days. I felt that way a few times in my life when my blood sugar got out of whack. You just don't feel like yourself. I bet the doctors have a solution for you :)
 
Good morning, everyone! Must have had some crazy sleep last night. Slept almost an hour later than I normally do, haha.

Remember to keep the spirit of Christmas everywhere you go today! It is a time of joy and giving. We don't always have to give our time or material things to others. Instead, we can give compliments, a nice gesture, or simple acts of gratitude towards each other. Doing simple acts like this can change someone's day today.


Nice video, it has an almost subdued, industrial feel to it. I like his voice
 
Are we talking about the Mexican restaurant near me?
Haha you have an Agave Mexican restaurant near you too? It's my favorite one in my area
 
Good morning Smorgsters! Off of work today, making my biannual pilgrimage to the transplant institute at University Hospital in Cleveland for a check up, usually goes like this “ how are you feeling? Great! Take a deep breath. Ok see you in 6 months, bye. The doctor I’ve been seeing every six months since I was in my mid twenties retired after my last visit in June. Been practicing saying my new doctor’s name and I still don’t have it right. I’m pretty sure he’s not Irish.

Haha! It is going to be hard to make a better post than this today. Good luck Kevin. I hope it's an easy one for you.
 
Yuck, hate black coffee! I know you are just trying to prove your ability to take pain and bump up your "man" game. I know it is an acquired taste right?
Black coffee is for those who were born with their man game already set to max. 😎

Welcome to the Smorg!
This a great group of knowledgeable people!
 
That’s how my father drank it so when I went from sipping his to pouring my own that’s how it went. I don’t like sweet drinks or food so a sweetener is a no go. I’ll drink hot tea ( I like black tea better than green tea) but I won’t drink sweet ice tea.
Same here Kevin. Now imagine the heck I've received as a Southerner that doesn't drink sweet tea

Far be it from me to post commentary about someone who is a very active member on this thread BUT said individual posted a bunch of messages on the wrong thread last night. He tried saving face this morning but some of us (me) are not going to let him off so easily.

You know who you are! 😆

One of our favorites as well! We have an agave and another common one named las magueys. Had a couple of those back in Atlanta too
