Thanks, RG. :yh_blush Yours is lovely as well.

No way could I name just one, so...

Hamburgers

Hot dogs

Deny me these, and I'd be a husk of a man.

The term "whisky" is specific to scotch (scots whisky) and Canadian varieties. "Whiskey" refers to American and Irish forms.

The Rob

Alcohol: Whisk(e)y, no water or ice.

Non-alcohol: Coffee, no cream or sugar (in the morning; in the evening it'll have Irish Cream in it)

I have not actually attended an opera performance, but would like to see Don Giovanni simply based upon this scene.

Can't give a percentage but when the subject matter/plot appeals I'll read it. Some of the best reads are those fictional pieces that incorporate non-fiction elements, such as The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer and the Ramses series by Christian Jacq.

Actually I've got some secrets too. Pretty important, really. Big ones.

Yup. So....

Don't know if it's a real creature. Love saying the word though.

Chupacabra!!!

Has to be with exclamation marks, though. Otherwise it looks like a new menu item at Taco Bell.

Are you still struggling with smoking cessation? The discomfort can manifest itself in odd ways. A stiff neck indicates tension, and what's not stressful about quitting?

Hope you're better soon, in any case.
