I must say I try never to over indulge - more because it makes me feel ill than through any philanthropic reason.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-53791933583849916342011-03-08T06:23:00.903-08:002011-03-08T06:23:00.903-08:00A baby shower is a party where the mom to be is sh...A baby shower is a party where the mom to be is showered with gifts for the new baby and food is served also. Joe and I do not like buffets as the food is usually bad and we do not eat that much. Plus I do not like the thought of all those people handling it...too much bacteria. We do note many construction workers loading up on the chinese all you can eat. We order from the menu.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562775041134498313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-22990486471920592062011-03-08T05:23:00.379-08:002011-03-08T05:23:00.379-08:00I dont think I have ever gone into an "all yo...I dont think I have ever gone into an "all you can eat " place.... my snobbish nature would not let me I guess, even though the food sounds perfectly lovely......<br />having said this, I have eaten all over the US and have happily let the orders be gigantic (perhaps it is better is someone else loads your plate up eh?)<br /><br />nice looking lassie!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-16543202019852433912011-03-08T03:50:24.484-08:002011-03-08T03:50:24.484-08:00She certainly is, Raz.

I know someone who is morbidly obese and although it is self-inflicted, I can't help but feel sad for them too.

It has always been the custom to store grain for strategic purposes or to guard against famine, etc., but these days it is simply to wring as much money out of other people's desperate situations as possible, and that's where the true crime is committed. They would ACTUALLY rather see children die of starvation than lose a few dollars/pounds. How can this be legal, let alone moral?Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-49675725082800659822011-03-08T02:50:47.887-08:002011-03-08T02:50:47.887-08:00And there are millions of European acres that lie ...And there are millions of European acres that lie idle!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
