    Hey, Lanny....this is a thread because, well, you deserve your own thread......from ME!! :)

    I swear you're the best, man. We have completely....and I mean COMPLETELY opposing views/takes on Trump, politics in general, and maybe even a whole host of other topics...but.......BUT.....

    There's no doubt in my mind that we could kick back, enjoy a beer or two (and we will)....for hours...while laughing our heads off about anything and everything!

    In these challenging and deeply polarizing times, that's a gem, brother. It really is.

    You make me laugh, Heh, your horn-rimmed glasses, pocket pen protector, graphing calculator, and slide rule dangling from your belt notwithstanding.

    We're planning to be out there in August. We may have to go dutch at that time on our wager, then the loser paypal (or whatever) in November.

    Anyway, cheers to you, my friend! :cheers:

    BTW, Lanny...this test is for you. How many triangles can you count here? The correct (mathematical) answer can be found in the video, below.

    Greetings, Lanny!

    Hey, we leave for Seattle on Thursday. I'm now not certain how much time I'll have in Portland, so our dinner plans may have to wait until my next trip out there. Trust me, I won't forget. Meanwhile, I also promised to send you that t-shirt, above. The shirt comes in gray or white. Please PM me your shirt color, size, and address and I'll have it shipped.

    As always, you're the best, my friend!

    Not everything but I did leave money in my will to SPCA with instructions for care and placement of whatever cat or cats own me at the time of my demise. Bulk of estate FWIW divided between Planned Parenthood and ACLU. Ballet and library get a piece.

    This illustrates my problem with videos. It took me maybe 18 seconds to get the (right) answer; you posted a 5 minute (!) video for the answer.
    Now, I didn't watch it, so maybe there is additional useful information in there? Like how to pick up girls by counting triangles?

    My wife has eye surgeries on August 2 and either Aug. 22 or 23. She takes eye drops for two weeks following her surgeries.
    We are so looking forward to our dinner at the Ringside. I've got some Dom Perignon set aside for the event.

    I really had intended on pulling it off this trip. As it turns out, we're now going to The Dalles for a couple of days to visit my sis.

    Are you leaving them a dollar each or are you filthy rich?
    By the way, my great aunt was a cat person. She lived out in the woods because that's where poor people lived in those days. Now, that area is where multi Million dollar homes are. Anyway, she lived in this old and dilapidated tin can of a trailer house. It smelled bad as you entered and there was cat hair everywhere. She must have had about 20 cans of cat food open all over the hovel she lived in. There was also somewhere around 20 cats there. However, she was good to me, my brother and two cousins always bringing each of us a nickel which I could use to buy an ice cream cone. She must have been getting poorer because in her later years she started giving us each a small packet of gum, Beemans, Black Jack or Clove. I'll bet if you bought a large package of the gum you could save a penny on each packet of 5 sticks of gum. Yeah, she was that poor. When she died the church she attended buried her because she had nearly no money at all.
    Please, don't be like my grandmother's sister, my great aunt Minerva, except I will accept gum or money for a good ice cream cone.

    Neither dirt poor nor filthy rich. On paper a lot of money but it has to last rest of my life, I come from long lived family and their could be a time when I can't care for everything myself. So I am careful with money. If I drop dead tomorrow they will get a hefty chunk of change. If I live 25 years not so much.

    Much like me. My house did go up nicely to almost one Million dollars and I have made improvements that Zillow doesn't know about.
