    slo’s MONDAY 2/12 poll - Usher’s Halftime Show

    Henderson Castle in Kalamazoo, MI

    I believe I stayed there years ago. My grandparents lived in Kalamazoo. My memory was that it was fine. Basically just a B&B. I honestly don't remember anything really spectacular about it but again this was a long time ago.

    I agree with everything you said. When I travel, I travel. I want to see different things and experience each location. We have been to Nassau a number of times and enjoyed ourselves. Yes you absolutely have to take precautions just like you need to anywhere else.

    Crawfish in Savannah

    I will be in New Orleans in February and really have my fingers crossed. I will be able to get some. I was in Perdido Key in November and December and was so sad because I knew it wasn't the season.

    Dating Red Flags?

    I would never date someone who did not agree with me on LGBQT+ rights or a women's right to choose. There is no middle ground there. If that makes me rigid well so be it I guess.
