You are the proud winner of my Trip Advisor Top Contributor tote bag.They are a phantom organization who will not even allow a Top Contributor to talk with them about longer articles about cities or countries, so as long as I go out as Top Contributor I hand you my bag. It’ll be great for knitting and accessories as it is large and even has a zip top, great for needles and yarn
Stripping. Yes, I’m a stripper of things I no longer need, time that doesn’t need to be wasted. 153 wasted posts that tried to waste me today.
To Trip Advisor, be wary, readers. as there is no support up in that ivory tower, only after an hour did a novice tell me to email tech support. Hello! Is there a single brain in this company that portends/pretends to be the best in the world?
Do you know what, Trolladvisor? I’ve never even met PDX in person but we’ve been friends for five years, which is much more than I can say for tripadvisor. She even knitted me a hat, which I love every day. I sent her cd’s.
That’s your review, TripAdvisor. From me, former Top Contributor. You get a zero on the contributor-friendly scale. Deal with it. D
Cooking with Dee 
Happy birthday, PDX, our blogs launched the same week and we were both tagged as up-and-comers and that’s how we met. We’ve taken decidedly separate paths but still have things in common. I appreciate your friendship, writing, skills and the way you keep us together somehow even though we’ve still not met in person. With utmost gratitude and faithfulness, I am your friend, Dee
I’ll sing the song I did at age 12 with my “band” of people who couldn’t sing or play. “Teach Your Children.” You did it well.
Thanks for the tote! One can never have too many tote bags, as the number of knitting projects expands to fill all.
We really must meet in person someday!
PDX, Let’s plan it! I love your city and wouldn’t even consider meeting “halfway” as we always did with our cousins. I may need your mailing address but will look for it first. Cheers, Dee
TripAdvisor now says I have earned “badges” and don’t tell me how many new reviews I need to write to get one. Y’all know what we say to that, “We don’t need no stinkin’ badges.” D
