Welcome aboard.

Welcome.

Thanks. No worries, I think I get it now.

Welcome aboard.

Not sure what you mean Laurie, but thanks. No hot and sour soup for me. None around. Thanks jaymac. I'm starting to get over it, turned the corner, at least. As far as Legal Seafood, I know what you mean. Been to Boston more than a few times. I think I ate there when I was small, but I don't remember it, but I have heard people talk about it. Some friends of my parents also sent us some lobsters and clam chowder from them by mail a couple years ago. If I recall, it was pretty good. You can get it shipped to you. http://shop.legalseafoods.com/index.cfm/pk/product/ac/list/cid/10087

Just 3 days left. Thanks!

Yeah, actually. My brothers (17 and liked it, so I've been watching it with them.

Thanks Brian.

Welcome.

I'm sick. I actually just had some Chicken Stew a few minutes ago.

I do like New England Clam Chowder. Beyond that, don't really know. I'll eat the random vegetable or chicken soon, though,

No worries.

Thanks. Not 10 year league, 10 team league.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you for the submission.

I was 3-3 in 5th or 6th place (10 year league) playing the 1st place, 5-1 win and I pulled off the upset.

Again, thanks to everyone who has nominated. Anyone who hasn't, please do!

Welcome.
