Good Rodney, err Ron. Not to my liking at all. My tastes in food are admittedly limited compared to some. I enjoy many things but... Kimchi isn't one of them. Just means there's more for you then...

Al loves fish of any kind. Mind you....he's probably the easiest person to please in the food dept. The man eats whatever is put in front of him and has never ever complained about anything I give him.
Salmon is the one fish I hate, except when it's in the form of lox. My wife knows never to cook salmon when I'm home. I immediately bypass all the salmon specials in restaurants.

Then there's raspberries. I am passionate in my hatred of those things. Whenever they bring a desert (like cheesecake) with a raspberry coulis on the plate, I make the waitperson take it back and bring me a fresh piece without that garbage spoiling an otherwise good dish.

No chance at all of turning around? Those are two of the very best foods for a healthy heart! Raspberries are rich in antioxidants, too. Oh, well, you can just have a glass of wine instead!

My husband is a Ben & Jerry's nut. It was getting to the point of him having some every night after the kiddos went to bed. Of course, he had his annual physical with our doctor, and truly thought the office scale was malfunctioning - becuase he had gained 10 lbs (not making this up)! I made it my mission to get him to sart eating healthier, and got him hooked on organic plain yogurt with frozen raspberries, blackberries, and almonds mixed in. Yum!

Whoah! Now that's my idea of a GREAT breakfast......ranks right up there with spaghetti!

I hate cold too. A couple of winters ago, Al went out and bought me a super down-filled coat. He said he couldn't hear the car stereo over the chattering of my teeth.

Ah, there is nothing like good sashimi. Delicious and dietetic. In fact, since my wife is going to be out at the ballet tonight, I was thinking of stopping at our local Japanese take out and bringing home a nice assortment of sushi and sashimi. Mmmmmm.

It DOES sound delicious! I can picture myself eating that.......as opposed to the usual slice of whole grain bread with peanut butter.

I couldn't do it. I made salmon for Al and I ate chicken. I have NO trouble eating salmon salad sandwiches using salmon from a can, but that fresh stuff......nope. Smoked salmon? Depends on the type. Some I like and can eat in small servings.....unless it's B.C. smoked salmon and then I can really dig in!

From living overseas I do not eat breakfast as we know of it in the US. I remember working with the BBC in Japan and eating sushi, prawn, and squid at 6:00am. Boy did they hate me. I usually do not eat dinner, just a healthy dose of beer and nuts, and eat the leftovers for breakfast. I have to get to work early so the smell of the food dissipates before the crews show up.

While I am not a journalist by training, as you are, I work with them and help the news make money. As you noticed I did not say help them tell the truth! Enough said as I still have to put four kids through college. From early on my training has been in information and disinformation; all for the concept of good

Hmmm, very intriguing! Considering your location, I can guess the network, but that's about it.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to a TRF member (Vanessa) who was involved in the watchmaking business. If I recall, her boss objected to her posting here - privacy issues or something. Someone correct me if I am wrong about this!

You're right Carolina. Her boss only objected after some jerk off told him about her.

That's not nice.

I hope whoever did it is happy with themselves for being a drity pond sucking scumbag rat.
