Don't give it a thought. Kahuna is nothing more than a laughable keyboard warrior - so ludicrous as to be amusing.

I'd like to meet both of you ex-Marines in the boxing arena. My combination hook and upper cut is so fast you guys would never see it coming. Talking jive talk like you guys do won't cut it in the ring.
I might admit that, if your hook & uppercut were as fast as the b.s. that flows from your mouth, I would be impressed. But they're not likely to be, nor am I impressed with your false bravado. You come across as a milksop, so I like my/our chances.

Nice! I’ll bet there are quite a few of us who could have some good in person conversations.
Given the chance/opportunity, I truly would enjoy meeting you, Lady Rose.

Well since I had my post deleted for calling Kevyn a moron I like this one as offensive for calling 77 million legitimate American v**ers a deranged cult!
My post was deleted but everything else was factual so be careful as it appears this site might be slanted toward the left.
No cult, but make that a tad over 74 million v**es....https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/e******ns/2020

With great effort, I have kept our past times together at hotels a well-kept secret.
On a recent trip to visit my youngest son's Family, I met yet another OPP-er for the first time. After years of efforts to make contact, I had the pleasure of meeting Dtucker300 for breakfast. He made the effort of coming up from Vista, Ca. (near Camp Pendleton) to join me near the AMRAK station in L.A. In his case, though we had our differences, I had always viewed him favorably. So, as I had a 4-hr. layover, I appreciated the chance to meet.
'Tuck' is one of about thirty OPP contributors I have personally met over the past dozen years. Just as the others didn't disappoint, neither did he. We have had numerous exchanges over the years, but this was the first time things aligned in a manner that allowed us to actually sit across the table from each other. From my viewpoint, we had an enjoyable time discussing wh**ever popped into our minds. I don't recall politics or personal ideologies consuming much of our conversation. Rather, we mostly discussed/shared tidbits of experiences during our lives. I must say that meeting him confirmed once again that, if given a chance to meet face-to-face, many (if not most) contributors on this forum would get along just fine. I would encourage others on OPP to make efforts for meeting fellow members and get to know them better. It is my contention most Americans have much more in common than they realize.

Thanks and appreciation to anyone/everyone who responds...but, I am soon leaving for my AMTRAK connection. I'll be back on the 27th of April. And, thanks, AuntiE, for the lovely cake and my staple of Diet Dr. Pepper.

I was answering Salvatore`s question concerning Milosia! I cannot answer to why he brought her into this conversation unless he knows more about her sock puppets than you or I.
Thanks for the explanation.
Salvatore/Martsiva, correct me if I'm wrong, but Milosia2 has yet to post on this thread...still, you both are (see below) criticizing him/her for another's comments.
(Both posts came from page 2, this thread)

Milosia,
It isn't working! People are wise to all the bs lies! Just one question to you. Why do you want a Socialist Government? Why do you want America to be a Socialist Country? Do you h**e Trump that much that you would go C*******t?

Lon,
I don't blame you for not flying. I won't fly anymore given the inordinate amount of trouble Boeing, the airline industry, and the FAA seem to be having as of late. This will give you a chance to see some of the countryside at a slow restful pace instead of staring down a highway. I like traveling by train.
Damn, wouldn't you know it? I have plans to go out of town on Monday. Otherwise, I would drive up to L.A. and meet you at Union Station for your layover. We could have gone to Philippe's across the street from Union Station for a beer and sandwich. It is kind of an institution in L.A. for French Dip Sandwiches. https://www.philippes.com/
If my schedule changes, I will send you a private message and get your train number and the time you are arriving in L.A. before you have to board the bus to Bakersfield and resume your train ride to Sacramento. You'll probably have a chance to see the CA Stonehenge, (Our High-Speed Rail Project boondoggle that is stalled with no track yet having been laid and billions over budget.)
Anyway, have a safe and enjoyable trip.
Don.
Lon, br I don't blame you for not flying. I won'... (

I answered your pm a few minutes ago and am excited at the prospect of sharing some time across the table from you. Be forewarned, though, as my arrival in L.A. is about 5:30 on the morning of Weds. the 17th, and leaving four hours later for the trip north to Bakersfield, then on to Stockton & Sacramento. I will send my schedule via pm later today.
I hope it works out that we can share some time chatting while I wait to finish the trek in seeing my son's Family.
Lon

Those low blood sugar episodes can be scary. A dear friend with diabetes would have one occasionally, on time it was when we were out fir a drive. Turned pale, sweaty, shaking... I drove us back to his house.
Yes, they can. On AMTRAK, I will be free to enjoy the scenery and carefully monitor snacks and drinks.

Auntie says you always drive. Health preventing your diving?
AuntiE is right. I have always driven car(s) or our motor home. But, in the past year or two, I have had several low blood-sugar episodes. Fortunately, most have been at home. Low blood sugar causes problems such as loss of equilibrium or balance and at worse, can lead to my passing out. I have reached the point where I can't/won't take the chance on a long drive across the country. Due to a lifetime fear of heights and flying, AMTRAK seemed to be a logical choice.
The only other time I took AMTRAK was in 1977. We still use the motor home for nearby camping/fishing trips with the kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.
