Given I have three of the most loyal commentators in the blog world, you’d think I would take better care of them and respond immediately every time they gave me a few seconds of their day.
But …

Thank you Albert for saving me from that sentence. Now, onto the mailbag.
Questions are separated out by my main 3 commentators: Grandma, Natchan and Alex. Their questions are left justified, my answers are in the bullets. Clicking on the links will take you to the original comments. All of my answers were written tonight.
Grandma
- Potstickers are what the Chinese dumplings I’ve eaten in America are usually called. For more, read the Wikipedia entry on dumplings:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaozi [link to the article works]

Natchan
Are characters, 60 made by cockscombs? These are beautuful flowers.
Alex
Haha, the thought of no sleep over all the yelling makes me laugh. And what’s a “Hits” article?

Charlie: Thanks for the reply to my questions. What is the significance of the picture in your blog? Thanks. Love ya!
Grandma,
There is no special significance. I found the Library of Congress’s photo collection online and I was looking through for something good and random to use for the blog. I found that, and really liked it, so I decided to use it. Thanks for commenting daily. Love, Charlie.
