I'm excited about it too..and a little anxious! :) We've taken a cross-country road trip before, but we took a southern route. This time we're trying to stick to the north. We want to possibly see Yellowstone Park and hopefully Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. There's an old volcano/mountain in Wyoming called "Devil's Tower" that looks pretty cool, and the last time we were in St. Louis we weren't able to go up into the arch, so we want to do that too. And of course I have a taste for the unusual, and I heard that there's a ventriloquist dummy museum somewhere in Kentucky that I thought would be cool (and creepy) to see...as well as a marble factory somewhere in Kansas. A lot of places are out of the way, so we may not hit every one of them...we're sort of playing it by ear. :)

Right now I'm in St. George, Utah, on our way to Yellowstone, so I may not have a lot of time to answer many questions while we're traveling, but I'll try to get to them when I can, everybody! :)

Nope! I just got mine cut on Friday. Having long hair would drive me crazy. :)

Hey. leave Dee alone...she can pronounce things however she wants...even if it sounds silly to the rest of us. ;) I on the other hand, have perfect pronunciation and never make any mistakes. ;)

The Golden Rule has always made the most sense: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Being nice and considerate isn't painful, doesn't cost you anything and is often reciprocated...so why not make the extra effort? What you give is what you get. :)

I don't have a best friend, besides my wife. She is the most patient and and understanding person for putting up with me for so long, and she should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for never killing me in my sleep, even though she's had every opportunity to do so.

sure, that's a cool head shot...what do you need one for? You could go with that one, or take another one where you're looking into the camera so people can gaze into your blue eyes and become mesmerized and fall under your spell. ;)

And an Elvis lip would be cool to see too. :)

Right now...When I look at the little green update thing at the top of the page, it only lists comments and responses from a couple of days ago, nothing current. Also, our paper shredder jammed for no reason and I spent about an hour trying to un-stick it. Life is so hard! ;)

I usually dread the Olympics, but only because the media tends to shove it down our throats and we have to hear about it constantly. But we usually watch some gymnastics and swimming. I'm not sure if Dara Torres is competing in this Olympics, but it would be cool if she did...she's 45 and still kicking butt! :)

Yeah, it's pretty stupid and pointless. I'm just thankful it's not showing up in my inbox anymore, and I can ignore it if I want to. :)

Consider the green follow button clicked! :) I think I read about someone else having the same trouble with the iPad. :)

If they're just letting them sit in front of the TV all day or play video games and eat nothing but crap, then I think they could be considered neglectful. But sometimes there are other health, genetic and emotional factors involved that can lead to a child gaining weight, so in some cases the parents might not entirely be at fault.

I have Firefox and Safari. I usually use Firefox and keep Safari as a back up in case Firefox is acting funny. :)

I had a feeling you had Hunger Games on your mind! :) I've read the first two, and I'm waiting for my niece to finish the third so I can borrow it. :)

If I'm hungry I'll eat until I hurt. I'm like a dog that doesn't have the sense to stop. ;)

I can go for quite a while actually, even though it's not healthy to do so. I find that hunger pains will subside after a while, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat. But if I eat a good breakfast, I can usually skip lunch if I have to and then eat something in the late afternoon...but I'd prefer NOT to be hungry. :)

Lettuce...I know it's weird but I won't ever go near it. :)

If a plate of liver was put in front of me, I'd have to be pretty hungry to eat it. Nothing about it is appealing to me. I can do it if I have to, but if I had a choice I'd avoid it. :)

If I'm super hungry in the middle of the day I'll make a sandwich, otherwise I'm good with just some strawberries or cheese and crackers or a few tasty cookies to tide me over.

I'd say every few hours. But I don't get hungry to the point where I need a full meal...just a snack will do. :)

About an hour ago...I woke up hungry but was too lazy and tired to get out of bed so I just stayed hungry until I couldn't take it anymore.
