My sister-in-law and she didn't come so I'm ok with that.

[milagros317]

Based on past years' experience, about 4 or 5 pounds.

How hard do you find it to diet beginning on January 2nd?

What's one dessert you could eat every day and not get tired of?

 

[milagros317]

Chocolate mousse with real whipped cream on top. (If I did eat all I wanted of it every day, then I would soon weigh 250 pounds.)

What was your favorite left-over to eat on Friday?

 

[Edge]

Turkey with cranberry sauce.

Did you take any leftovers home from your trip?

 

[milagros317]

No, a five and one half hour train ride home made that unfeasible.

What was still left over on Sunday morning (if anything)?

 

[Edge]

Turkey, stuffing, potatoes.

[milagros317]

I have no plans to eat turkey this month.

My back hurts more often than my legs.

[Edge]

Probably when I had the flu maybe 5 years ago I was so sick I barely could get more than an hour or 2 of sleep if that.

When's the last time you had the flu?

 

[milagros317]

About ten years ago. It lasted about four days.

Did you have chicken pox in childhood?

 

[Edge]

Yes and I have a tiny scar from it still on my forehead if you look very, very closely.

What's the most surprised you've been on your birthday?

 

[milagros317]

When an ex-girlfriend treated me to dinner at a great restaurant for my 50th birthday (probably because she felt guilty about the way that she had dumped me).

What is the best present that you ever gave to a dog that you owned?

 

[Edge]

Well if I told you how much I spent on Rollins doctors/treatments over 28 months after he got cancer you would not believe me. But I will summarize by saying I referred to him as my "mortgage" over that period. And I do not regret spending one penny on him because he turned out to be as someone said "The healthiest sick dog I've ever seen."

Would you rather go out to eat lunch or dinner?
