America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.
Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Iāve always known, of course, that your winters were our summers and vice versa, but I never really thought much about Christmas being a summer holiday there until I watched Bluey with the kids.
ā¦not least the Guardians World Map
Whatās that?
Seriously, I havenāt looked at or messed with that thing in quite a while. There are probably more than a couple folks active here now who should be added to it.
Belly Buster, indeed. Assuming thatās meant to be a breakfast, they couldāve also gone with ānap inducer.ā
A lot of those competitive eaters seem to be on the slim side
I understand the explanations for why that makes them better at competitive eating, I just donāt understand how they stay that way.

Thanks, Steve! If I'm in any way approaching yours, I'm doing a-ok!

Another fantastic pic Steve
A glimpse of Christmas in Australia was a highlight of British TV in the 60's, everyone was looking for their Auntie Sheila or Uncle Bob down on the beach, while they waited for the possibility of the annual 2 minute phone call!Iāve always known, of course, that your winters were our summers and vice versa, but I never really thought much about Christmas being a summer holiday there until I watched Bluey with the kids.
Do your duty Guardians! WE're never going to take over the entire world without a map!Whatās that?

LOL!Belly Buster, indeed. Assuming thatās meant to be a breakfast, they couldāve also gone with ānap inducer.ā
Quite a common phrase here - a magnet for greedy sods like Tool Man! LOL!I understand the explanations for why that makes them better at competitive eating, I just donāt understand how they stay that way.
I was slim until I was 50, and could eat like a horse well into my 40's. Wolfie is still like that. Different metabolisms I guess. Now (I'm a Fat Basket) I struggle to eat a third of what I could as a teenager!

Talking of overeating and fat lumps, I'm off to see the Cardiologist in the morning, so may not get a chance to call in, until later. I'll be carrying Slim! Have a good one Guardians

LOL!
Don't I know it! Now when I go out with my wife we frequently get one meal and split it, and I am satisfied with that. Fortunately I'm still only ten pounds heavier than when I was 18 (late '70s), but it takes work to stay that way.

Thanks again, Jack! Photographing a lamb and a phone, as opposed to photographing a lamb with a phone, is entirely uncharted territory for me!

I hope all goes well and you get a good report
I'm also blessed with a good metabolism and I try not to overeat. I weigh the same as I did when I was in my teens at around 165 pounds, give or take a pound here or there.

Thanks a lot Steve, they seem to think I'm in reasonable shape, but may have angina.I hope all goes well and you get a good report
Good for you Steve
I had the same size waist in my 40's, as I did at 15. Then I hit 50, and it all went wrong! 
Come to think of it, it all went wrong when I met Tool Man!
