Which I never even knew I had. I wish that I could report that I found it and managed to adjust my settings, but I did not. Instead, I learned that Google does not recognize my user name. Never mind: if I've gotten this far, the sky is the limit.<BR/><BR/>I've just read your posting on school sports and I am delighted to find another person who hated P.E. and takes issue with that silly cliche 'Your school days are the happiest days of your life.'

I'm the only one in this household who doesn't squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle, too, so right away we've got something in common. <BR/><BR/>The fact that you and your wife have manged to lose so much weight is fantastic, but it is your lifestyle change that I find most impressive. A lot of people do manage to lose weight, but few really manage to change the way they eat, what they eat, etc. I can imagine that you don't just look better, but you now feel better too. <BR/><BR/>I've just started a blog -- thanks to you. I have the printed instruction sheet right in front of me and I am now going to try to send this. If I manage to do this successfully, I'll be pretty impressed with myself. <BR/><BR/>Okay -- here goes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-85498533055274185262007-02-20T17:33:00.000+00:002007-02-20T17:33:00.000+00:00Attila - thank youJennifer - people too often thin...<B>Attila</B> - thank you<BR/><BR/><B>Jennifer</B> - people too often think that food is just fuel.
