I do indeed love apples Nilla. There are many types of apples, here are a few I like

I hope you like some of them too. That will give us something in common to share.

Aurora Golden Gala, D'Arcy Spice,Shizuka, Silken, Irish Peach, Lobo, Grimes Golden, Tydeman's Early Worcester, Weirouge, and of course Zuccalmaglio'sReinette.

Now for baking, like pies, apple crisps and such I like to use Pink Lady, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jazz, (which I personally have found is sometime hard to find) Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Fuji, Gala, and of course Jonagold.

Have you ever had an Ard Cairn Russet apple? It's an old variety from Ireland and very reminiscent of a banana. Imagine that, an apple with a hint of banana flavor. There is also an apple called an Apricot Apple with an apricot flavor.

Did you know that the Cox's Orange Pippin is the finest dessert apple and get this, it was discovered as a chance seedling. Can you imagine that. Amazing isn't it. What if that little seedling had been thrown into the compost pile? Too horrible to contemplate.

So anyway I have shared my knowledge and love of apples just on the chance we can find common ground to grow and build a friendship.

I will admit I DO like Hillary. I like her so much that as a Grandmother I myself feel she will make a much better Grandmother than President, and I feel people should do what they can be good at. She was a great SOS wasn't she? Yay Hillary

Anything you want to share?

You are so right though my friend, Bernie is better than almost any democrat. He stands for the people and shares the best Democratic values. That's why most of the time he votes with the Democrats in the Senate. I have found when he votes against the Democrats in the Senate, they are not being very good Democrats. Now there's something else we have in common, Bernie is indeed a better Democrat than most democrats.
