HELLO

Happy 4th July Ron and all my American friends.

Besides 04 July 1776, 04 July 1863 was a pivotal date in American history:

(1) General Pemberton surrendered to General Grant, ending the Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi, which effectively cut the CSA in half, and (2) General Robert E. Lee retreated back to Virginia after losing the Battle of Gettysburg

    My thread is turning into a "Have a Happy Holiday thread".....lolol.  Actually I had a great weekend.....48 hrs 0 cigs.....none Sat....none Sun.......a new record.               

Well done Ron. How many Monday?

   Almost 1....half of 1.   I'll keep working on more days of 0..... I was stuck at 2 a day for months.

It is not easy but you are doing well. Keep going.

Come on Ron, we have been on at you for years ........this is much more important than chess!

Dads will do that.

I bought my almost 5-yr-old granddaughter a "Slip and Slide" for the front lawn.  Soon the neighbor kids showed up for the fun.

I don't think that Whamo makes the "Water Wiggle" anymore :'(  

Pity, Mr. Wiggle could dish out the punishment! 

Cheap franchisee would not fix the air conditioner.  The kitchen temperatures approached 100 F.  The Manager went to the hospital with dehydration.

  Thanks for the info Jamie......The news said everybody quit for "conditions" and didn't provide any specifics.                                                                                           

   Chess.com would work So much better if THIS was posted on their home page.
