appeal. Don't think I could swallow it.
What's your gentle favorite? Polly
I look forward on having midnight snacks. But not on a daily basis though. I just eat midnight snack if i feel hungry and if I stay up late working.

I usually like to munch on cookies or junk foods.

Exactly. Maybe if, after I cooked up some pasta for myself, I
hit myself over the head with the pan, I might go to sleep.

Sure sounds like it.

I snack on dry cereal often, lately it's been Kashi Go Lean or
Cheerios. What kind do you like?

The 'r' is just too damn close to the 'f'. Maybe we need to redesign
the qwerty setup to straight alpha, left to right. Or me get to the
eye doctor.

Oh, that looks good, can't say as I've ever noticed it
in the store. Thanks, I'll be looking for it.

You can buy a keyboard that is straight alpha. I wish I could locate one
that was original. How I would love to get my cold, bony fingers on the
jerk that decided that we didn't need ¼, ½, ¢ and °.

Just the tacos would do it for me.

I accidently discovered a great 'late night' snack once when I didn't have
much food at home. I improvised and hit on a winner that I still make
often.

- toast 2 slices of bread (either white or multigrain)
- as soon as they pop up and are hot,
- spread peanut butter on them
- then immediately top with slices of swiss cheese.

yum! If you like swiss cheese and peanut butter, give it a try sometime.
