Al, that's a very good idea about the bike! We'll have room to store it up here, but then it's a problem getting it back to Texas!

And D, I have 4 1/2 years of school left at the rate I'm going. I think sitting around eating is worthier of my time, surely?

Al

's certainly a good thing to eat

I think you're right, Shea.....

Well, Gosho, that's a tough choice...Monty or Motorcycle? Let's see, how about....both! And work out a payment plan! It's the American way! Have your and eat it too! Just don't pay for it until later.

And Dragonfly, about post 4398, the idea didn't come from me! I'm the one trying to convince her to finish school.

I'll email you about it tomorrow TJ How much work do you think it needs?

It really doesn't need much work, really just a tune up and I think it would be running just fine.

And everybody's happy!

Very happy.

Hey KC.

Well I should hope so, if *you* weren't happy I should suggest you get your head examined

Mmmm... 1830... I think it's time I had some breakfast... mind you, I've already been up for 9 hours

Mmmmmm...breakfast.... ::smacks lips:: Owww!

I wouldn't mind breadfast except it's 03:40 here and I'm at w**k and I just ate dinner two hours ago and I don't usually get off w**k until 07:00 but today I'm working overtime and won't get off until 11:00 which will make it a 16 hour day and then I will be very sleepy so I will head straight home to try to get some sleep and I don't like to eat just before I go to sleep because it is not good for you....so I guess breakfast is out of the question right now.

There's nothing wrong with eating just before you go to bed, sometimes it's the only meal I manage for the day...

As long as it is a small meal. It's best to have a large meal when you wake up and a lighter meal in the evening but many people do just the opposite. ::looks at self in mirror::

Yeah, so they say... where possible I try for the main meal in the middleish of the day. I really can't eat anything even vaguely substantial within a few hours of waking up...

I'm the same way. Usually only for me for about the first 4 or 5 hours.

MMM.... juice.... TJ

Kingy

Good to know I'm not alone

Shame on you Kingy for not knowing that you should "breakfast like a *king* (ahem ), lunch like a lord, and supper like a pauper." In other words, you need a good meal at the beginning of the day, for two main reasons - 1) You probably haven't eaten (if you're doing it correctly) for 10 hours and your blood sugar is going to be very low, and 2) You need to get plenty of goodness in you to fuel your activities for the coming day. Eating late at night is bad because your... it's been a while since I studied this so I don't think I can remember it right. Something to do with sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, Either way, the food doesn't get digested properly. Also, if you eat before you retire, the carbohydrates get laid down as fat instead of burned off as energy.
