How were PawPaw's biscuits and gravy with stewed tomatoes last night? @AlyciaMarie
Well, little dude got some pokes at the doctor's office yesterday, so we abandoned making dinner to make sure we were available for lots of cuddles. That was the right call since we spent the evening in bed watching SpongeBob and keeping cool clothes on his tender little thunder thighs. But he did get cleared to start tasting some food! On the menu today: Avocado!

You got a "love" emoji from me. It's a rare occurence that is usually reserved for babies and dogs. I have, on very special occasion, used it elsewhere.

Have a good day all!

I might have been a little to involved on the Biota thing. Time for a break and off to work. Had a few posts "moderated" and removed.

I do believe in managed fishery and aquaculture. But I do not agree with using aquaculture to eliminate competitors or families that have lived off the resources of the seas for generations.

I will always cherish the 79 of them that I have received from you over the years. :)

Alright, I'm getting in on the music stuff. Fair warning, my suggestions will mostly be 80s, 90s, and classical.

My first suggestion is my all-time favorite song:
