I didn't mean to imply that I have a problem with what you eat. I think it's great that your family is vegetarian. I actually love your mom's view of food. I was thinking more of the "rules" like no seconds until you eat more salad, etc.<BR/><BR/>I probably shouldn't have mentioned it. I guess I just kind of think that when we try to keep a strangle-hold on something in our life it ends up strangling us.<BR/><BR/>Along those same lines, do you remember when I said that I expected a counter-attack? Well, it showed up about 30 minutes later and it had more to do with my comment about your eating habits on this post rather than the other.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure that made sense, but my comments are usually way too long...so I'll stop.Curdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759610645604450828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173967129517609098.post-26600134209456470862008-12-24T13:15:00.000-06:002008-12-24T13:15:00.000-06:00@Heather--close, but off by about 70 lbs, I'm flat...@Heather--close, but off by about 70 lbs, I'm flattered though! Haha!<BR/><BR/>@Curdie--Thanks for the comment. In answer to your question, perhaps. But the food supply in this country is woefully nutrient poor and sinisterly (is that a word?) dangerous. One needs to be careful.<BR/><BR/>Good guess on the quote, it does sound like something Churchill might say. It's actually from Paradise Lost by John Milton.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243748655669695310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173967129517609098.post-23911657209414837772008-12-24T12:42:00.000-06:002008-12-24T12:42:00.000-06:00Okay, I'm not reading any of the above comments so...Okay, I'm not reading any of the above comments so they don't influence my answers.<BR/><BR/>01. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it. I like your drop back and punt comment so I christen thee Punt.<BR/><BR/>02. Describe what you think I might look like. I found your blog on the same day that I found a blog of another father (through cake wrecks) and his profile picture is linked in my head to this blog because of the time proximity. I don't have the link to his blog here at my in-laws house so I'll have to show you later. Although I don't think you'll be pleased. His youngest kid is 16 so he's probably quite a bit older than you.<BR/><BR/>05. What was your first impression? You communicate a lot for a guy.<BR/><BR/>07. What do you think my biggest weakness is?<BR/>Hmmmm, I this is taking too long to think about so I'll pass.<BR/><BR/>08. What would you cook for me if I came to dinner?<BR/>Something vegetarian, but there really isn't much of that in my repertoire.<BR/><BR/>09. What makes me happy?<BR/>The funny things your kids do.<BR/><BR/>14. Given one freebie question that I had to answer honestly, what would you ask? Do you think your families relationship with food is too regimented?<BR/><BR/>17. Describe me in one word. Witty<BR/><BR/>19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen? Probably, although I'd like to hear how your wife would answer that question.<BR/><BR/>20. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you? Ummm, I don't think I want to be this vulnerable on my blog.<BR/><BR/>I don't know to whom to attribute the quote in your title. First guess would be Winston Churchill.Curdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759610645604450828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173967129517609098.post-91385676033441691252008-12-23T22:11:00.000-06:002008-12-23T22:11:00.000-06:00Gee drofen, just saw this!

How well do you feel you know me?not well at all...<BR/>14. Given one freebie question that I had to answer honestly, what would you ask? Why are Chiropractors so against immunizations. I am curious I have always been a little skeptical of them (my niece is autistic). sorry if I sound ignorant. <BR/>15. Ever wanted to tell me something but felt like you couldn't? nope<BR/>16. Do you think I could kill someone? Good gosh I hope not!!<BR/>17. Describe me in one word. ideal.<BR/>18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same? I dont think we really have much of a friendship. but I really appreciate your posts on my blog. They were very uplifting..Thanks<BR/>19.

Maybe that will attract more participation.<BR/><BR/>And THANK YOU btw, for not letting the post totally flop. And my goodness you have some nice things to say!!

You seem kind and sensitive and forward thinking and a great dad/husband. You come across as intelligent, well read and well thought. You seem to have a keen perspective and understanding of what goes on in life. I get an overall good vibe from you. <BR/><BR/>I know I didn't play right but that's what I've got today. Happy Holidays!DBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149272782990788966noreply@blogger.com
