Today’s blog is dedicated to some “housekeeping details.”
First, I want to thank those of you who read and take the time to comment. I truly enjoy reading your thoughts and observations. On so many occasions your comments make the daily blog worth reading.
Second, If you haven’t registered, so as to comment, please consider doing so. It’s free and simple to set up. Yes, you have to actually setup your own blog page but you do not have to update it or maintain it. It would be keen if you did. The more people writing and sharing thoughts the stronger community we build.
Third, I try to be diligent in preventing spam comments. For those of you who are new to this genre, blog pages can be spammed just like e-mail. These are the comments that say something like “nice blog, good content, I enjoyed reading.” Then something like “hey check out my web page for this that or the other” with a hyperlink will appear. DON’T CLICK ON THE HYPERLINKS These comments often appear as anonymous but just last night I had three such comments from fictitious registered users. These type of comments are simply unsolicited offers to purchase or enlarge (and we are not talking about Jabez here). I think in the long run if blogger does not find a way to stop this practice it will eventually bring an end to the blogging for everyone.
Those of you who have your own blogs and find these comments on your site just log in to blogger (with your username and password) click to view your blog - click to view the comments - next to each comment you will see a trash can - click on the trash can and a prompt will appear - select the option that says permanently delete this comment (it may include something about this blocks the user from commenting) which is what we want. In fact, there’s a couple of you out there that had better straighten up or I’m going to block you as well! (I’m just kidding).
I’ve been enjoying this blog experiment and hope you have as well. Let’s end with one of those questions designed to troll for comments. If we came to visit you, in your town, where would we have to go eat?

Thanks for the information. I need a new dictionary now that we have folks “spamming on our blogs.”

Eating is my favorite pasttime. I always take visitors to DC to the Orleans House in Rosslyn–23 years and I’ve rarely been disappointed.
Prime rib is their specialty,they have a great salad bar, and their prices are very reasonable (I’m frugal). Just don’t go for large groups–my only disappointment. Free parking in the Riggs Bank garage after 5 pm.
I drive to Fairfax to Yen Cheng’s for their Chinese lunch buffet - $5.95 includes hot tea and usually 3-5 desserts if you have room.(available 7 days a week)

my house…

YOU would have to go eat at In and Out, though I find them to be just like any other fast food burger place (I know, shame on me!). The best place to eat when we have the time is, like Sandra’s, my house.

I didn’t see your question at the bottom. I believe my Brother Greg can attest to my answer which would be this; there can’t be a better place to eat in all of the “Space (Brevard County) Coast” than my house. As Olan Hicks once describe my wife after feasting on her cooking for a weekend, “Barbara is a temptress when it comes to food.” Hopefully you’ll get a chance to see. By the way, our invitation is good for overnight as well when you come our way.

I agree with Sandra. Her house.

The house is great. But if you’ve got a hundred dollars or so, there’s a great fish place on the lake that I really like.

I’ll have to go with the rest. My house. I’m a reasonably good cook, but the best thing about it would be getting to meet you and share a meal.
Other than that, I’d have to say Catfish Corner, located at Bullfrog Corner, down in the edge of Mississippi.

I am not very discriminating when it comes to food but if pressed I would have to go with a Carribean place I used to go to in Norfolk, VA. They had some good Jerk chicken and Curry goat.
